Bucking and nub match up

[Syn]

I will be getting a Firefly Hop-up SLeeve ( Soft/MILD) http://trinityairsoft.com/p-327-hop-...-fire-fly.aspx




but it does not look like the nub comes with it. What is a good nub to match up with it. From the information I've found using google, the Element H-Hop Up seems like a good choice but might be hard to find using the group order sources. Any other suggestions for a great nub to use with the Firefly Sleeve?





edit: Illusion said The nub IS the bucking. So I edited my post above. Although some websites call the nub and bucking different things. They should call it the rubber sleeve.

I think it depends on the FPS of your gun when you have to choose between the black and the white. One is for higher FPS

350-380 at most. No spring upgrade, just piston head, piston, Promethus 6.03 barrel. Really looking for consistency. btw I was asking if there are other company nubs that are a good choice to use with the Firefly if I can't find the H-Hop. I heard the mad bull nubs are hit and miss.

edit found this talking about the h-hop. http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=43418

But is there any other company nub that is just as good as the h-hop?

I keep hearing (mostly on Arnie's) that combining a V hop bucking like the firefly and an H nub does not work as well as either just the H nub with plain bucking, or a V bucking and a plain nub. I think the main issue if under-hopping and inconsistency, but I can't tell you for sure.

ok thanks, I was just there and although their search function is a bit flakey at the moment, I did mange to read comments of the firefly and h-hop in different threads. Could not find a post saying they suck in combination although one person said they are good together. What I did realize after reading the many posts is that different sleeves and nubs are being used depending on the gun. What combination sleeve and nub works well in one type of gun may perform badly in another gun using the same barrel.

If I had a choice of the firefly sleeve or the h-hop nub, I think I will choose the h-hop nub because it seems they majority of people say they work really well. The firefly sleeve on the other had had a few people saying it made no difference on their gun.

I think I will go H-hop nub + Prometheus sleeve (with the Prometheus 6.03 barrel) and see what results I get from that combo. Might have to teflon tape the hopup in case I find a air leak when I put it back together.

If you're still looking for a source of H-nubs, Jugglez has one set of the Big-Out brand left. Most of the reviews online are based on the Big-Out nubs, since I think Big-Out was the first to produce them.
