Bore-up nozzles carry a wider internal passage than a standard nozzle, so more of the cylinder's volume reaches the BB on each cycle.
They are usually fitted as part of a bore-up build rather than on their own, paired with a matching cylinder and cylinder head so the whole air path is sized together.

Good to know before you buy
Fitted on its own the gain is modest. It earns its place as part of a matched bore-up air path.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a nozzle bore up?
The internal diameter is opened out compared with a standard nozzle, which lets a larger volume of air through on each shot.
Do I need matching parts?
A bore-up nozzle gives its best results as part of a matched set with a bore-up cylinder and cylinder head. Fitted alone it will still work, but the gain is smaller.
Is 19.7mm right for my AK?
That is the standard AK length, but AK builds vary more than M4s. Measure the nozzle you are replacing before ordering.
