Practical A.E.G Upgrade 2006

FYI, on the left is a 7mm bushing, on the right is a standard 6mm bushing:

7mm VS 6mm

In theory, a 7mm bushing due to its larger diameter allows the spreading of

radial loads out on a slightly larger area of the mechbox shell. Simply put, it

offers a relatively higher level of tolerance for radial and axial loads.

Going 7mm does not seem to be necessary unless you are using a very hard

spring or that you want to use ball bearings in a high FPS setup. Certain new AEG

models from CA are 7mm based. TM and ICS seem to stick with 6mm as of the

time of this writing.

Warning:

Not all 6mm metal bushings share the same inner diameter. If you are using

stock gears, the safest bet is the Area 1000 metal bushings (Area 1000 is a

sub-product line of Systema).
