Piston heads for the Next Generation Recoil Shock are sized for that gearbox and for nothing else. This is the bearing version of it.
The bearing sits between the head and the spring so the spring can turn as it compresses instead of winding up against a fixed face. Compression comes smoother and the spring keeps its rate for longer.
It is a small part that gets overlooked right up until the gun is in pieces. If the recoil unit is coming out anyway, replacing the head is cheap insurance.

Good to know before you buy
Establish whether your rifle is a Recoil Shock model before ordering. Standard Marui AEG piston heads are a different size and will not seat correctly in this gearbox.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there a bearing behind the head?
Without one the spring winds itself up against a static face every time it loads. The bearing takes that out, and the spring holds its rate for longer.
Will it fit a standard AEG?
No. This one is cut for the Next Generation platform.
Does it come with a seal?
Our supplier does not specify one with this head, so we are not going to claim it does. Keep the parts off the head you remove until the new one is seated.
