Hey guys!

A itty bitty update... In an effort to explore different options before I venture into the realm of cast buckings and nubs, I am going to try to design a drop in upgrade with variable concavity. Rather than having the bucking simply follow the shape of the nub, I plan to try to have the bucking and the nub interact, where the bucking will initially be flat, and as you apply more force with the hopup, it will become more and more concave until it is hugging the bb. I believe this will mean that you will be able to apply hopup to bb's through a very large range of weights, and do so well. As a parallel project, I will try to produce a test batch of a flat topped bucking to use in conjunction with one of my nubs, which will be decided when the results from the alpha test come back.

Have a great summer!
