Getting a JG Bar 10 gen2

Is this the Maple Leaf bucking you refer to: http://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1073&search=maple+leaf

If I get that and the Actio Army 6.01mm barrell I should be OK. Or do I need to get the Action Army hop up chamber too (does that include a bucking too?)
Yeah,that's the one I'm talking about.

On the Barrel- I'd personally stick with 6.03 or 6.05 bore ones,since 6.01s don't leave a lot of room for error and can be hit or miss from the manufacturer,especially on slightly cheaper brands. AA barrels are perfectly fine though.

Hop up chamber is a good upgrade,does not come with a rubber. However it is not 100% necessary. You can either keep the stock JG chamber and install a better hop up arm (Dangerwerx Typ B) or go for the chamber. Chamber is obviously a better upgrade but it all depends on you much you want to spend

 
Thanks! Does the dangerwerx arm allow you to adjust the hop better than the stock arm?

No,it uses the same slider adjustment mech which isn't too fantastic as it can flex and cause uneven pressure on the arm. You can do the 'Top Dead center mod' in which you drill your outer barrel right above the arm and use a screw the adjust it. Bit tricky and easy to mess up. Action army chamber has a different mechanism that adjusts the arm evenly unlike the stock one. The Type B arm's main draw is that it is more precisely made and the flat nub affects the rubber better

I see. Think I'm going to stick with the stick chamber but get the maple leaf bucking and 6.03mm barrel. What about the PDI w-hold bucking? I'm going to be using 0.3 or 0.28 bbs.

If I feel I'm not getting the accuracy and range I'm after I'll get the AA chamber. Thanks again for your advice :)

it is taller so gives you more hop at lower levels of adjustment, handy for lifting heavier BBs

 
I'd go for a different barrel If I were you; 6.01 is a bit too tight; look at a PDI 6.05 (ideally) or something like a Prometheus 6.03 otherwise; they'll be better quality than the AA barrel.

6.03 is about the tightest you want to go for, bore wise.

*edit; just replied without seeing there was a page 2. Oh, the joys of using phones! >_<

How's this choice for the barrel? http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.airsoft-entrepot.fr/pieces-upgrade/canons-de-precision.html&prev=search. Will it work with the maple leaf bucking and stock chamber?

 
Which one? That link goes to a whole load of barrels; half of which I've not heard of, brand wise.

The barrel is one of the most important components, don't skimp on the cost buy a top quality one, else you'll not get the most out of it, and likely either have to replace it down the line, or end up selling the rifle on later.

 
Yeah, that'll work, just make sure you get the sniper/pistol style bucking. :)

 
Thanks Hudson :) Might pop down to Otley once it arrives

A6.01 barrel won't do anything for accuracy all you'll get is more power, a wider bore is much more accurate as the projectile actually rolls in a perfect straight line along the top of the barrel as apposed to bouncing off each side of the barrel.

 
It's only a difference of £3. That shop has all the bucking in stock too, I like getting all my bits from place as it saves on postage. It's going to cost me £11 to get these delivered to the UK, if I got them from separate places in the UK it would cost the same or more.
