Hey guys,

Upgrading my UTG L96 APS-2 has run into a problem: my Angel Custom hop-up unit (which is the exact same as the PDI unit) is causing the gun to totally misfire. The only thing I did not replace is the bucking. When I install the nub and try to fire, I get a dead, flat sound and the BB stays in the gun. I posted a YouTube video to demonstrate the exact problem here:

Without the nub and arms, the gun fires just fine, so I know the bolt system and trigger are all working.

I know lots of people are going to tell me to scrap the AC hop-up unit even though it looks the same as PDI, but there should be a profile difference looking down the barrel with the nub and without it, especially with the gun misfiring. I checked and I can't see any difference. Any suggestions are welcome as I am at a loss for what to do.

Have you tried loading one bb into your magazine, then racking the bolt back again to fire? Since your gun is firing when the mag isn't in, maybe the hop-up unit is getting moved around by the mag.

Other than that, double check your airseal with your old hop-up to make sure it isn't some other part. Either way, you've convinced me to stay away from the Angel Custom hop-up unit >
