Retro Arms AEG Hop-Up Lever Pin (3 Pack) (GG07-04)

The Retro Arms AEG Hop-Up Lever Pin provides a high-durability, precision-engineered replacement component within the airsoft hop-up unit, particularly for their CNC-machined hop-up chambers. 

Primary Purpose

The primary purpose of the pin is to secure the hop-up adjustment lever (arm) within the hop-up chamber. This lever is the component that applies pressure to the hop-up nub, which in turn presses against the bucking to impart backspin on the BB for improved range and accuracy. 

Benefits (vs. Stock/Standard Pins)

The benefits of the Retro Arms pin, especially when compared to stock plastic or lower-quality metal pins often found in standard hop-up units, include: 

• Enhanced Durability: Made from robust materials, likely CNC aluminum or a similar strong alloy (consistent with other Retro Arms parts), it is significantly more durable and less prone to bending or breaking than a stock plastic pin, even under the stress of high-FPS or high rate-of-fire builds. One user review specifically mentioned the stock plastic pin in another unit as "flimsy" and easy to bend, highlighting the need for a stronger replacement.

• Secure and Consistent Performance: A sturdy pin ensures the hop-up arm maintains its position and does not shift or bend during sustained use or gun vibration (such as from blowback or high ROF), which helps maintain consistent hop-up settings and improves shot consistency.

• Precision Fit: As part of a line of precision-machined upgrade parts, the pin likely has tighter tolerances, contributing to a more stable and reliable hop-up assembly with less wobble.

• A Pack of Three: The 3-pack provides spare pins, which is convenient for maintenance or if a pin is lost during tech work, as these small components can be critical and easily misplaced.

• Upgrade Compatibility: It is designed to work seamlessly with other high-performance, aftermarket Retro Arms hop-up components, ensuring optimal fit and function within a fully upgraded system.
