It is an Action Army Hopup Chamber so it does not have the right hand curve issue. This issue is something else.

Simple one, but have you made sure you barrel and therefore your hop is installed dead straight and therefore not twisted. That will give you a curve. even a slightly out of square barrel will twist your hop rubber enough to give a hook and it usually only shows at the end of the bb's travel as it starts to slow.

I am very paranoid about the hop up shifting during installation and take care not to let his happen. However, I always feel like it ends up shifting somewhat. Regardless, if it were to shift left or right, the bb would only curve to that same direction. My bb's are curving both directions.

Change your bucking, some of the nineball buckings had issues; it could be fixed, but to get best results you'd still need to add fangs to the hop arm, like most these guys have said. Also, I find it hard to believe Angel Customs, with all their other QC issues, makes a good bucking, so go for maple leaf.

Just ordered a Firefly Hard bucking. Hopefully it should work well with the AA Chamber's arm and nub.

Post results!

Waiting for everything to arrive. I will be switching the guts into a g-spec and using CORE .43g whites. I may be putting my SP170 back in as well.

Also when I put the Angel Custom bucking into the AA chamber, the barrel would not stay still. It kept wanting to rotate in the chamber almost as if there was no bucking at all.

Teflon tape? A whole smack of it

Do post about the COR3's, I'm thinking of switching over to them. Where did you purchase the BBs? COR3's website?

 

[SMercer88]

I bought them on their eBay store. They came in a sealed bottle so I know they haven't been tampered with. I will be shooting them tomorrow with the following setup.

Bar -10
AA hop chamber
Firefly bucking
Laylax 6.03 430mm
Laylax Teflon piston and cylinder head
AA zero trigger
Delrin barrel spacers

Very curious to see how those Bs perform. Are they fairly light colored?

Thanks,
Grant

Any shooting results? I have a scarily similar setup to you and am having problems as well

 

[SMercer88]

I highly recommend these CORE bb's. My gun is now able to consistently hit a crouched human at 225 feet. I really believe that washing the bb's and hop up bucking had a lot to do with this as well.

As for the bb's, after I washed them, they were left with a dull matte finish. I do not know how well they would compare next to another .43g bb. I have never used any other .43g bb because they only come in black and I don't like shooting a bb that I can't see.

I'm glad everything worked out! If you want to continue exploring .43s, I use WE. They're green so you can see them in certain lights. I normally wash them first and i'm happy with their performance although I do want to try those white CORE bbs as well.

Sounds like you worked out most of your issues. If you want below is a good match for the vsr/Bar10 rifles.

Use a Reaps MG 2 bucking, Dangerwerx hop arm, install a cnc 1 peice hop chamber. Teflon your cylinder head and bucking. Use .43's washed, and if your still having the curve issue. You can try the TDC mod. Always remember to clean your barrel.
