Sage advice for many ACM hop-ups. Sometimes that glossy hard Chinese rubber takes a hi-cap to warm up to full effect. I find that my Tokyo Marui hop-up is ready to go at almost any time. When I clean and lube the barrel and hop-up it goes a bit wonky for a while until the silicone oil wears away.
Advice for any newbie: Learn how the hop-up in your gun works. It is one of the most important pieces of the Airsoft Puzzle. If your hop-up doesn't work well put in (or have a gun doctor put in) a one piece metal hop-up. Some folks here that know more than I about the subject can probably recommend good brands of hop-ups. I would be curious to know people's preferences.
Personally, TM 2 piece hop-up is as good as anything. I have, however, seen many reports that say a one piece metal hop-up is better.
