Version 2.1 of the hop-up alignment system, designed for M4 AEG HPA replicas using:
- GATE Pulsar-S engine (compact HPA engine with integrated electronic control, distinctive blue design, and high performance).
- VFC VegaForce OEM chamber (factory CNC hop-up chamber by VFC with robust construction and factory precision).
This kit ensures perfect centering between the Pulsar-S nozzle and the VegaForce OEM chamber, eliminating lateral play and improving feeding consistency in HPA configurations. Fully compatible with ICS split systems and standard V2 gearboxes.
Compatibility
| Component | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| HPA Engine | GATE Pulsar-S |
| Hop-up Chamber | VFC VegaForce OEM |
| Base Replica | M4 AEG |
| Gearbox | V2 / ICS SPLIT |
What the kit includes
- Rear clip for mounting via rear pin or fixed stock.
- Base with housing for M3 inserts (optional brass for maximum durability).
- Side clip specifically designed for routing the Pulsar-S HPA tube/line.
- Front locking top cap adapted to the VegaForce OEM chamber geometry.
- Rear plate with mounting point for an M5 screw (additional reinforcement).
Installation and adjustment
-
Printing and preparation
- Print the parts with 65–80% infill.
- Lightly sand internal areas and contact surfaces for a precise fit.
- Apply dry lubricant or wax on sliding surfaces to make installation and maintenance easier.
-
Installation in the replica
- Insert the base into the lower and secure the M3 inserts.
- Install the rear clip aligned with the rear pin or the stock anchor point.
- Install the VegaForce OEM chamber with the inner barrel; the top cap locks the assembly while keeping everything centered.
- Route the GATE Pulsar-S HPA line through the side clip, taking advantage of its compact design.
-
Final fixation
- Secure the rear plate using an M5 screw and washer for maximum rigidity.
- Verify that the Pulsar-S nozzle enters centered into the VegaForce chamber without lateral play.
- Perform dry feeding tests and adjust the Pulsar-S pressure according to your setup (typical range: 80–120 PSI).
Required components (not included)
- 4× M3 × 4.2 mm inserts
