Hop up buckings & Nubs

Hop-Up Buckings & Nubs – For maximum spin, range and shot consistency

Hop-Up Buckings & Nubs are at the heart of your precision. They determine how much grip and spin the BB gets, how stable the flight path is and how reliably your AEG or HPA platform performs at a distance. In this category, you will find high-quality buckings and nubs for a variety of builds, from soft compounds for cold conditions to hard variants for powerful configurations that require maximum stability and precision.

Why choose hop-up buckings & nubs?

A good bucking ensures optimal airtightness, grip and pressure distribution on the BB. The nub then determines the shape and power of the adjustment, so the combination directly affects accuracy and range. By upgrading to high-quality materials and well-tuned hardnesses, you create a consistent shot pattern, improved spin and more control. This is essential for DMR builds, long-range platforms and players who expect a sharp, reproducible shot.

What can you find in this category?

• Buckings in various hardnesses (soft to hard rubber), tailored to temperature and BB weight
• Flat, concave and omega nubs for optimal pressure distribution and precision
• Specialist buckings for DMRs, HPA builds and long-range platforms
• Models from top brands such as Maple Leaf, Prometheus, G&G, Guarder, 4uantum and more

Who is it suitable for?

Hop-Up Buckings & Nubs are ideal for airsofters looking for more range and precision, DMR players who focus on long-range shots, and HPA tuners who want to perfect their settings down to the last detail. Also suitable for technical players who want to achieve maximum shot consistency under a variety of conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a soft and hard bucking?

Soft buckings offer extra grip at low temperatures, while hard buckings are ideal for builds with more power or a heavier BB weight.

Are nubs universally applicable?

Not always. Flat, concave and omega nubs are often optimised for specific buckings. Therefore, please check compatibility.

When should I replace my bucking?

With intensive use or visible wear, we recommend replacing it annually. This prevents leakage and inconsistencies in your shot pattern.

Can I install a bucking or nub myself?

Yes, with basic knowledge this is easy to do. For HPA or DMR builds, installation can be more complex and an experienced technician is recommended.

Buying guide

• Choose bucking hardness based on BB weight, temperature and power of your build
• Select the right nub (flat, concave or omega) for your desired pressure distribution
• Check compatibility with your hop-up chamber and inner barrel
• Combine bucking & nub with a precision barrel for improved accuracy
• Tailor the setup to your playing style: CQB, mid-range or long-range performance

Top tip: Use high-quality BBs in combination with precision inner barrels and a well-adjusted hop-up for the tightest shot pattern.

For complete optimisation of your hop-up system, hop-up chambers, precision barrels, springs & guides, cylinders & heads and high-quality BBs are ideal for this category. Strategically combining these parts creates a perfectly balanced setup for maximum control, consistency and range.

With Hop-Up Buckings & Nubs, you choose the precision and consistency that every shooter needs for top performance at any distance.
