Enjoy.
I just order a couple of them. I've never used them but everyone says they're great bits, miles ahead of the big out nub and KM V-bucking. Although they are a tad pricy...

Ok then, nobody is forcing you to buy the firefly bucking...
Although I for one am willing to spend about $10 more on what is probally a way better product.

Trinityairsoft has had them in-stock for months - slightly better price too. Great deals on shipping from Trinity on top of all that if your order is big enough.

funny that you say that, I just ordered from trin instead because they accept paypal.

shipping was absurd and terrible I dunno whatt you're talking about. 2 buckings all together cost me about $42.


US based, ground shipping was $14 for just 2 buckings!!!!
$32 for 2nd day air!
and $70 for the other option (forgot the name)

USPS priority would have been so cheap.

Hmmm... I've never ordered less than 150$ worth of stuff from them, so my UPS ground has always been free.

Especially when you could throw two buckings in an envelope for 39 cents if you were so inclined (and not worried about crushing them) that does sound excessive.

However, since I live in PA, my stuff from Trinity has always arrived the next day after ordering, which is great. My last Poweredge order took over a week...

Hmm, I didn't notice as I never go on that website. They also have the soft bucking, I suppose if hard dypes I ordered don't work out I'll give this place a try and order a soft type. Although I have heard that firefly hard bucking are actually 'softer' than what is generally accepted as 'hard'. Any truth to that?

I've had the "soft" one for quite some time now, and all I can say is that its quite softer and squishier than the stock bucking.

I expect these to wear down pretty fast, but for how they improve my performance, I really dont give a damn!

Only about 10' or so, but the trajectory was SO much flatter that the stock hopup (observed with a 4x scope).

I normally set my hopup so the BBs float up to about the second mildot in my scope at the most, allowing it to go further so long as I can gauge the distance correctly, but with the Kurage hopup, it's actually kind of difficult to set it so it over hops.

In any case, I'm able to get the same range (a little bit extended) with a MUCH flatter trajectory...

The big-out h-hop also helps with this.

They have a V-shaped hopup on the actual bucking.

Two contact points means a more stabilized flight path of the BB.

Too bad they probably won't fit the P90 chamber dry.gif
Of all things to screw up... The only hop bucking I've found that barely fits the P90 chamber is the element... and that's a tight fit, I probably can't get it out without breaking it

Marushin (Or ACM) Winchester Lever actions, M1 Carbine, M1 Garand, .44 Automag

Or any interesting NBB / Gas guns

PM me if you've got anything, I am located in the US btw :)
