What needs to be regularly replaced to keep my gun in good shape?
Our recommendation for UPGRADED AEGs (at a minimum) is that for every
15000~20000 rounds, replace the following items even if they aren’t broken:
 the hopup rubber and the hopup spacer (bucking)
 the motor brushes
 the spring
 the piston head (the O ring in particular)
 the bushings
Our recommendation for stock AEGs (at a minimum) is that for every 30000
rounds, replace the following items even if they aren’t broken:
 the spring
 the piston head (the O ring in particular)
 the bushings
* also replace the motor brushes and the hopup rubber after about
40000~50000 rounds.
Also check the safety cover, which is mostly made of weak plastic (refer to the
picture below). Sometimes they just break without ever getting noticed.
One way to avoid breakage here is to loosen the screw a little bit. Over tightened
safety cover breaks ten times faster.
