Flamingo NOIR VSR/GBB Hop-Up Bucking by SniperMechanics

The new hop-up bucking Flamingo NOIR VSR/GBB by SniperMechanics delivers enhanced performance and reliability for all weapons using the VSR/GBB hop-up system.
The NOIR bucking builds on the proven design of the original Flamingo bucking, but is crafted from NBR material instead of silicone in response to user feedback during testing in higher power and faster builds.
Flamingo NOIR offers exceptional durability and superior sealing, making it ideal for high ROF and high-power weapons, especially for long GBBR rifles due to the more aggressive nozzle movement.
Thanks to the high durability of the NBR material, this bucking has a bedding-in period that lasts approximately 100-150 shots or a few magazines. This phase allows the material to conform to the chamber and nub being used.
The Flamingo NOIR is designed exclusively for VSR/GBB barrels with unbridged cuts.

The NOIR bucking is available in two hardness options:

• 60A Shore (power <2.5 J)
• 70A Shore (power >2.5 J)

Barrel Compatibility

• Maple Leaf Crazy Jet
• Maple Leaf 6.02 GBB/VSR
• TNT Barrel Unbridged
• LayLax Unbridged
• Action Army Unbridged
• Lambda Unbridged
• PDI Unbridged - Suitable, but very tight; Omega nub recommended due to small window.
• EdGi Unbridged - Suitable, but testing showed some windows are too shallow/short.
• Other unbridged barrels - Most standard barrels won’t fit due to narrow windows, especially on WE/TM.

Installation Tips

• For best results, use a barrel with a large hop-up window.
• In rifles, use a suitable nub type like T-nub, Omega Nub, Bridge nub, H nub, or Gunsmithy TDC.
• In pistols, the standard V-shape arm is very accurate, but for maximum range, use Hadron H Plate or Maple Leaf Key.
• Apply PTFE tape to the rear of the bucking.
• Lubricate the outside of the bucking during installation into a tight chamber to prevent sticking.
