    In my infinite wisdom whilst cleaning and servicing my usp the other day, I laughed to myself that if I lost that tiny tiny bb that provides the hop for the pistol trying to finding it would be a bitch if I did....well you know where this is going...I lost it...

    Hours of "honey I shrunk the kids" style searching and using a magnet to sift through awkward to reach places and nada.

    I managed to find a different ball bearing but it was miles too big when I put it in it sent the bb's skyward almost like a javelin rocket launcher, so does anyone know where I can source one of these ball bearings? Or if you have one around the place you would get me out of a hole.

    I just measured the other ball bearing I put in with the vernier and it was 2.4mm so I'm guessing the stock one is 2mm maybe less.

    what is the size of bearings in a bearing cylinder head/spring guide compared to the original or replacement one you found yourself? might be worth having a look at if youve got a spare set knocking around

    Unfortunately I don't mate. The one I used was 2.4mm so the ksc one is roughly 2mm maybe less.

    Just checked the site and not a bean! Guna order some of those ball bearings mentioned earlier! Either that or maybe put an ad up on adverts and see if anyone has some KSC spares. Cheers though.

    Send me a PM if you can't get sorted - we have a FUBAR'd KWA SP2022 in work that we can pillage the hop up unit for the bearing.
