im looking for help with the following upgrades/recommendations with links please 

 

hop up & nub

Barrel

hop up chamber  

 

any anything else any one else would recommend

ICS hop unit is proprietary no one appears to make an after market unit. unless the gun is currently not shooting accurately  and least 50ish metres there is not much point changing barrel/ hop rubber.

Personally with my l85 and l86 I use maple leaf Mr hop and maple leaf nub with maple leaf barrels.

Have just put an English kiwi Airsoft aftermarket hop up in my l86a2 last night but haven't tested it. I've heard good things about them but with the original ics hop up apart from over hopping .20s I've never had an issue with them

[Dan Robinson]

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding - but the boy has just bought one of these so I need to know the basics....

 

Can you use the regular rubbers/buckings?  or do you have to buy ICS bits?

 

Was pleasantly surprised at how well and far it shot out of the box even with a relatively low FPS; which I assume will get better with a few more game days?

[WarriorTed]

It takes standard nubs and buckings but the unit itself is not a standard m4 hop and there is no aftermarket upgraded chambers. The barrel is also aeg standard if you want to upgrade.

Also for the FPS there are 3 settings on the spring guide so you should be able to increase it slightly. Its really easy and only needs one pin at the back of the gearbox to be removed.

[Dan Robinson]

That's good to hear thanks.  I figured out the spring selector fairly easily, it was already on the highest setting.

 

Will look at the mosfet situation in the near future methinks.

I’ve got a Prometheus 509mm tightbore and a Prometheus Purple bucking running in the English Kiwi hop unit.  With 0.29g Warhead Delta’s it’s capable of surprising people at longer ranges.  In dense woodland if I can see it I can hit it.

 

I’m just about to stick some SHS gears in it to run with my Warhead Black Standard motor, so hopefully the trigger response will be improved to match the range and accuracy!
