i am wondering what kind of accuracy people are getting from different types of bucking...

in your opinion what is more accurate?

a single nub type bucking. (modify)
or a dual V nub design (PDI whold)

I am no longer using a standard bucking. I'm either running a flat hop or a r-hop. Neither of which are really that hard to do.

The dual V nub will give you more accuracy and range. Having 2 contact points gives the bb more stability when moving through the air and a more consistent flight path. Go with the V bucking

Someone recently told me V-nubs set it off-centre and make the BBs spiral. I can not tell if it is that or the winds for me though.

So for the flat nub, do you just sand away the nub and rotate it? And do you know how effectively it will work with a flat hop arm?

 

[goldentrigun]

Unless the nub is thick on the hop arm it won't hop very much. It'll be more consistent though. I ran it for about a month before I swapped it over to an R-hop. That was when I experimented with a hard plastic nub on the arm. I could give it so much hop on the high end that if i went to far I could jam the barrel.

In other words yes just shave the nub and rotate the bucking.

@ the OP
The R-hop will always give you more range and better accuracy btw if properly tuned. Read the forum and you'll see why.

How did you go about shaving the bucking's nub? I want to turn it inside out but I don't want to tear it!

At the minute I can easily apply enough pressure to stop the bb from firing, so it will probably be a good mod to do for me!

I would just use pliers, buckings are pretty hard to tear. Or good ones are, anyway.

errr.. I would say something.. but kinda inappropriate

^insert joke about condoms here.

I used a dremel but the first time you might want to use something like sandpaper( fine grit).
You literally sand the locking line and the nub and when you place the bucking back on to the barrel you turn it so a fresh patch is exposed.
