Stock window (well, this is an upgrade barrel, so it has a larger window than the stock barrel, but you get the idea)


Open cut barrel:


The second barrel will fit any VSR10/GBB hop-up rubber, the other one will not.

This is what the maple leaf rubber looks like inside, and why it doesn't fit in the first barrel:


Its this very large bump that makes it such a good rubber. It lifts heavy BBs really easily and works almost as well as a r-hop.

That was very informative Drakker! So it would seem that most after-market hopup rubber will need to be matched with an upgraded inner barrel.

Are there any that are known to work with the stock barrel?
