These are probably really newbie questions, but I'm just starting out on technical work on my gun. So all help is appreciated!

Question 1(about the hop-up):
There's supposed to be something on the black piece protruding out in front of the spring right? How much do they cost? What are the best ones?

Question 2(About the bolt):
Is there anyway to keep the screw pictured from coming loose? I'm afraid it's gonna come out one day when I'm not paying attention and I'll lose it. When I try to tighten it in all the way the bolt locks up.

Thanks guys!

I have a bar10 but I had the same problem with the bolt locking up from the screw being in too tight. what I did was I took some paper and put it inside the piece the screw goes into that hold the handle in place. The paper goes in the space around the screw so when I put it all together the paper acts like a shim and keeps the end from going too far and locking the handle. I don't have the terminology for it so I hope that made sense.

I actually used some wood ships because that was just what I had lying around. When I first tightened the screw I took it back off to see what happened to the wood chips and I found they compressed to the thickness of paper from it's original mm thickness LOL. I suggest you use something that doesn't have any adhesive because something like duct tape, when squished, will ooze the adhesive and screw everything up.
