I fit in the guarder bucking with the stock I.B. but noticed that it was easier when I fit in an after market 6.03mm I.B. later (had one laying around, so I used it). Still very hard. I suppose (meaning I have not measured it) that the inner diameter of the hop up chamber is a wee bit tighter than the norm. As an update...... Sad news to the VFC SCAR world of my airsoft. I was playing in a local skirmish last weekend and while walking out to my position for the very first game of the morning, I fell hard. I thought I had broken my nose or busted my mouth from the fall, but found

I have thrown in a new one myself. I had lots of problems with them being too thick. I finally got a guarder (black less than 400fps) to fit....WITH LOTS OF LUBE AND PATIENCE! Added about 10-15 fps and much better hop. My original was barely intact and a real booger to get off as well. Worked like a charm. I think the original ones are marginal and perhaps to thin to adequately give good friction to the bb in order to get good spin....but not sold on that as I really haven't studied the situation a lot...so let's say "first impression"

Have had my VFC for a short bit now. I have had some problems with some magazines. I have tried out some of the other lower cost solutions on mags as well. Here is what I have seen so far..... VFC hi-cap = decent fit, but does have some feed problems (surprising to me, but maybe it needs to be worked in) ECHO-1 new series hi-cap = mid to poor fit, very loose on the front end, does not easily "click" into place and does not match up exactly with mag catch. G&P 130 rd mid-cap = great fit, great lock, great feed and keeps up with the AEG ROF. MAG 100 (or so) mid-cap
