Sniper Mechanics VSR / GBB Flamingo Bucking | Latest Version
The Flamingo buckings are something Sniper Mechanics had in the back of their mind since before the first W.A.S.P, but their lack of design ability at the time, mixed with low fund and not suitable contacts for getting the project off the group, it was something they couldn’t get done.
However, that’s now changed…
With new factories and contacts, plus all the tips and designs tricks they've learnt these last few years (no more scribbling on bits of paper), they was finally in a position to bring the Flamingo bucking to fruition.
Flamingo buckings are a series of hop rubbers for the most common platforms, VSR10, GBB pistols and rifles (that use the VSR style bucking), the SSG24 and the SRS (this one allowing the use of the GBB/VSR style barrel in stock/FAST hop units).
What makes the Flamingo bucking unique, more so than it’s design is the material itself, while they won’t go into the details of the exact material they can list some of the properties below:
- Tough
- Abrasive resistant
- Tear resistant. The tear-strength ranges between 500-100 Ibs / linear inch, which is far superior to rubbers.
- Excellent elastic memory
- Temperature resistant – At cold temperatures, it will remain flexible down to -68°C (-90°F).
- Weather resistant -to oxygen, ozone, sunlight and general weather conditions.

INSTALL TIPS:
- PTFE the barrel under where the rear of the rubber goes and then over it once installed.
- For best results use on a barrel with a large window
- Use a suitable concave nub in rifles, such as T-nub, Omega Nub, Panthera, Skee etc
- For pistols, the standard V shape arm gives great accuracy, but for the best range use a Hadron H Plate or Maple Leaf Key
