Hi I recently bought the ssg10 and played with It six times, I'm disappointed that my bbs are curving to the left, though maybe I need to clean the barrel and disassemble and reassemble the hopup chamber but that didn't work, so I decided to upgrade it. I bought the tridos tdc and and installed it but it still curves to the left. Maybe I need to get the flamingo bucking? I don't know but if you have and tips please let me know.

The bbs that I'm running is the novritsch 0.46 grams.
I have the m160 spring which is 500 fps spring.

Sounds like either the inner barrel is installed wrong, there is a defect in the inner barrel or hopup, or the inner barrel is bent.

First step is to twist your inner barrel to the right a little bit and see if that works.

After purchasing a new (or used) replica, one should always clean the inner barrel, there is dirt and oils that are in the barrel during the manufacturing and assembly process, much less dust and humidity changes accumulating during storage and shipping.

Are you noticing this curve through the scope, or are you seeing this with your eyeball? The reason why I ask is that I have had a set of scope rings that were faulty, and angled the scope, making it look like I had a curving BB.

I should remember to ask that question.

My guess would be the scope is canted relative to the hop up effect. Try looking without the scope.

If BBs are still going left, then you need to reinstall your hop up bucking because it’s applying pressure unevenly to one side. If not, then you need to rotate your scope a small amount to the right (clockwise when you’re looking down it), so that it is ‘true’ to the axis of the hop. If consistently left at the same trajectory/angle, then my guess would be scope misalignment. If it’s only doing it occasionally, then it’s likely mechanical.

Also not to state the obvious, but check it isn’t wind down range (when you see the effect, turn round 180 degrees and fire - if BBs now go to the right, it’s probably a subtle wind down range)

I look through the scope and I see my bb curving. The scope that I'm using is the novritsch scope if that helps you. haven't though of looking down my barrel but I will try. And yes I cleaned the barrel multiple times before shooting, I think maybe the wind is affecting it, but can a 11mph wind affect that heavy bb?

That much wind can make a difference. Easiest way to test if it's the wind is the turn around and see if it still curves the same direction.

Thanks my brother for advice but I cant turn around shoot it the other way in my backyard . I will try though at my local airsoft field.

Here is what your next steps should be:

1) Observe the BB flight path, without looking through the scope, (if convenient, remove scope)

2) Consider the impact of wind strength direction (preferably by observing shots under minimal wind conditions)

If those steps are taken, and the BB is still curving, the issue is not external, but internal to the replica. At that point, internal diagnosis is merited.

Thanks for the tips man I will try everything I can to make shoot better.
