TM Hi-Capa Hop up unit

Shirley · July 30th, 2009, 17:24

I finally did it, I blew out the damn lug that holds the inner barrel in the hop-up unit. Mother F!

As some of you know that I have a race hi-capa and a PDI comp set that gets mounted onto the extended innder barrel. I don't know why, and for you guys out there who plan to buy the comp set that attaches to the inner barrel will get your hop-up unit destroyed from the impact of the slide bashing into the comp.

Sucks ass where hop-up unit in the TM Hi-capa is 1 out of a million to find unless I buy a new hi-capa.

Is there any other way to fix this? Or do I have to use a gay dumb way and hot glue gun the crap to make the inner barrel stay.

1. Don't attach stuff to your inner barrel, it's supposed to be able to move around

2. Evike sells a hopup and inner set I belive, but it's Evike.

You're screwed....Can't think of any way to fix that to take the impact stresses.

I set my comp just a hair off the end of the slide...so the slide doesn't actually smash into my comp (thus ripping the inner from the hopup).

If I was set on fixing it...I'd index the location and drill/tap a set screw right through the side of the hopup and into the inner. But not like you do with a hand drill balancing it on your lap...

Even then it probably wouldn't hold unless you changed your setup.

Find a broken WE Hicapa for pieces...

There is TONS and the hop-up chamber is as good/as cheap as the TM.

yup check the boneyard sections of some retailers... tell them to send everything exept the frame... you'll have plenty of cheap parts

Hop-up for GBBs are very hard to find, and the TM hop-up unit is the best, that's what makes a TM a TM.. Argh. So I found thread tape, and I wrapped it, then I got glue gun, and glued the front of the hop-up. Now it works fine. Muahaha
The screw part wouldn't work as it goes into the chamber. But thanks.
