Sniper Mechanic Flamingo Hop Up Rubber 70A - AEG
-
Following on from the design and success of the original Flamingo, these features have now made their way to an AEG bucking, the “Flamingo AEG”.
-
These have been tested in a huge amount of builds over a long period of time by Sniper Mechanic alongside being tested with a variety of barrels, chambers and nubs.
-
Features:
-
Optimised patch radius
-
Improved feed lip angle
-
Improved fitment
-
Patch size increased to suit full open window barrels
-
Same material as the OG Flamingo
-
Designed for 0.3g BB’s and up
-
70A Hardness (which was the best overall performer)
-
-
Compatibility: The AEG flamingo works well on most brands of AEG barrels:
-
Maple Leaf/PDI/Lambda/XT/ZCI/Mabdbull/EdGi/Faceless/Modify
Most stock barrels though some stock brass inner barrels have small windows and don’t allow for the best application of hop.
-
-
The same goes for hop chambers, most work very well, Silent Sniper/ZCI/SHS/Maxx Model/Prowin (and clones)/majority of stock chambers.
-
There are some combinations of barrel/hop chamber that simply do not work well due to QC or tolerances see below:
-
Novritsch SSR249 chamber, Specna Arms stock brass barrels in AK chambers
,Ares VZ58 is finicky with some barrels ,Krytac M4 hop chambers with stock brass barrel, Original Maxx Model MTW hop (the very first one released years ago).

Install tips:
-
For best results use on a barrel with a large window
-
Any small concave nub works well
-
Lube outside of bucking when installing into tight chamber as the material is very grippy and most stock hop units have seams/mould flashing which can catch (If you don’t do this, you risk damaging the bucking on the hop chamber window when removing which will not be covered)
