Upon fixing my new BAR10, I'm finding it to be very accurate for a stock gun, just confirmed hits on a man-sized target at 85-90 yards away However, I am planning on upgrading the gun, the only problem is that I am on a very low budget. How much will a new Firefly bucking improve accuracy? Will a new 6.03mm tightbore do more or less than the bucking? If you were only allowed to buy a single upgrade for a stock BAR10, what would it be? Any suggestions are appreciated.

EDIT: Actually the target mentioned above was only 230 feet away, not 85-90 yards. Oops.

The thing that affects accuracy the most is the hopup, so I would get the bucking. However, I would get the nineball bucking because of it's fantastic air seal and how it performs over a large range of fps. It is a little softer than the hard bucking but harder than the soft so it makes it the best all around bucking. If you want to go a step further get the r-hop or er-hop. Also do the TDC mod, even if your gun doesn't have the right curve issue. It will make the pressure on the bucking much more consistent, which in turn will make the accuracy more consistent.

I would get a barrel because you can already improve the hop up without buying anything.

Shim the chamber, shim the arm, make a flat arm with a piece of biro pen, do the dental floss mod on your bucking, and install a TDC adjuster.

You won't see a HUGE difference with just a bucking or just a barrel. Personally, if you are hitting shots out to 240 feet stock rifle, I would say you only have to perform some DIY mods on hop up to be good to go for a while, since you are on a budget.

Look into some sears for your rifle. Bar 10s love slam firing, and will try their best to do so in the fastest amount of time possible. Look into some durability upgrades, get her set, perform some DIY mods, and you are good for a while, while you save up the cash.

Thanks. My BAR10 actually started to slam fire after about 50 shots out of the box, good thing I had 2 extra sears lying around

I'm definitely getting a nineball, and I'm eyeing this smexy Modify barrel (only $36)

vs this $30 barrel:

Which one do you think would be better? And will the nineball really improve accuracy? The bucking looks rather simple to me... how can it get better? And yea, I'm a bit surprised to see my stock BAR10 shooting so well. I just want a bit higher fps and accuracy, which is why I'm looking around for a 6.03 TBB. Every sear I've found costs $50+, if sears costed less my gun would be shooting 500 fps by now haha.

Go for the Prommy, nineball or laylax 6.03 barrel. the reason I say one of those three is they all come from the same factory and are exactly the same. Not sure about price but that barrel is famed for it's quality. And they bucking gets slightly better groupings by having a slightly different shaped mound and a different rubber.

Those barrels do indeed look amazing, but I'm thinking about a TM Precision Hopup chamber, the one which comes with a 6.03 brass TBB. That way, I could upgrade both hopup and barrel for ~$50. The only problem is that as far as I know, they aren't sold in the U.S. and I would have to pay/wait extra for it to ship from Asia. Please enlighten me if you know any U.S. places which sell the chamber. Thanks.

EDIT: Actually, I don't really want the precision chamber all that much, after learning how to shim the hop up arm. Also, I'm scared to death of drilling a hole in my outer barrel, so no TDC for me, although I might try it when my warranty runs out.

Just in case, check Airsoft Atlanta. I saw it in stock a while ago. They stock a load of Japanese after market parts.

Nope My hopup shims are working pretty well though I guess I'll just go with a Modify 6.03 TBB and a Firefly or Nineball bucking. Which one would be better for ~400 fps (measured with .2g)?
EDIT: Would a ASGI PE 6.03 stainless steel TBB be better off that the hybrid Modify barrel? If anyone has any experiences, please share.

I simply don't have the budget to get a Laylax or Prommy TBB, since I live with my parents.

I want to know if it's possible to perform the dental floss mod without having to cut the nub on you bucking.

If anyone has done the dental floss mod, please give me some advice. Thanks.

That's the video I followed when I did mine!

In the video, it seems like he's doing the mod to a non-vsr10 hopup. I'm just wondering if I have to cut off the nub on the bucking for the dental floss mod to become effective.

 

[MiloXC3]

Yeah I cut my notch down a little bit. It's only there to make sure it's fitted correctly so you can either leave a little bit of it still on, or make a mark on the bucking (draw two lines or something) so you know if it's correctly aligned or not.

 

[chachaseeds]

Thanks. I guess you don't have to cut off the entire notch, I'll probably do it when my warranty expires.

what are sears?

what are sears?

The vulnerable part of the trigger, generally breaks fast, especially with spring upgrades.
