PDI Hop Up Chamber For Type 96

[Cushak]

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a place I could pick up a PDI Hop Up Chamber For Type 96? I've searched through UNC, WGC, Global Airsoft, Redwold Airsoft etc, they're all out of stock. If anyone knows where one can be found, or has one they don't want, or knows of another hop-up unit that performs just as well, could you let me know?

Thanks for you help, Cushak

Thanks!

Second question: This hop-up will work with any AEG inner barrel, correct?
Third Question: I've heard on other forums that you may have to change your outer barrel as well if you switch to an AEG inner barrel, is this correct?

First; Most PDI after market hop up units only work with AEG inner barrles, but wait to receive the hop up chamber from Den to confirm (I've upgraded 3 APS2 EXs with the PDI hop up chamber, and all three only work with AEG inner barrels).
Secondly; No. You will not have to change the outer barrel to accommodate the AEG inner barrel. However, you will have to get an AEG barrel of either exact length or get a slightly longer one and cut it to length. The head ache part depends on the type of "end cap" the L96 has (the threaded cap at the business end that the inner barrel rests in). I have found that the APS2 EX end cap accommodates a stock barrel only, and when I upgraded to a Prometheus tight bore barrel (which actually has wider outer diameter than a AEG stock inner barrel) would not fit into the end cap. This required each end cap to be taken into a CNC machine shop and center bored larger to accommodate the new AEG barrel.
If your AEG barrel will not fit into the end cap, I strongly recommend taking the AEG inner barrel that you will be installing (do not cut down to length yet) and the end cap (just those two pieces, unless you really know and trust them) and dealing with a machine shop that has a CNC lathe on premise in order to machine the end cap. Otherwise you will not only end up with a head ache, but you'll end up kicking yourself in the a$$....guaranteed.

Good luck;

Ressing an old thread I know, but two questions:

This hop up unit is a brassy color whereas any other hop up unit from PDI I find is black in color, is this an older model? Also I noticed this:

O-rings

You have to buy the o-rings and everything separate?
