Frequently Asked Questions

Need To know more?

What Does a TDC 2.0 Hop-Up Conversion Do?

It replaces the stock hop-up arm and slider in compatible VSR-10 and SSG10 chambers with a thumbscrew that pushes down from the top. This gives more precise, repeatable hop adjustment. Check chamber compatibility on the listing before buying.

Which AAP-01 Spring Strength Should I Choose?

Tridos AAP-01 recoil and nozzle return springs come in sets of four strengths, so you can experiment to find the best balance for your gas and setup. Stronger recoil springs can reduce bolt cycle time, while stronger nozzle springs can improve feeding.

Will Stronger Nozzle Springs Affect My Trigger?

They can. Tridos notes that its 150% SSX23 / MK23 nozzle springs make the trigger slightly harder to pull, in exchange for more reliable feeding and fewer sticky trigger issues.

Tridos Designs Airsoft Upgrades

Tridos Designs makes practical upgrades that solve common problems, from inconsistent hop-up to slow magazine loading. Its range is especially strong for sniper rifles and popular gas pistols such as the SSX23, MK23 and AAP-01.

Sniper rifle upgrades

TDC 2.0 conversions for Tokyo Marui VSR-10 and SSG10 chambers replace the stock hop-up arm and slider with a thumbscrew that pushes down from the top, giving more precise hop adjustment. Always check chamber compatibility on the listing before buying. The universal cylinder nozzle wrench, made from anodised aluminium with six width settings, is a handy addition to any sniper tech's toolbox.

Pistol upgrades

For the SSX23 and MK23, choose from a CNC aluminium hop arm optimised for TDC hop-up systems, stronger hammer springs for more power and consistency, 150% nozzle springs to help with sticky triggers and feeding, and a mini TDC thumbscrew made in collaboration with Project Airsoft. AAP-01 and AAP-01C owners can choose from sets of four recoil springs and four nozzle return springs in different strengths to improve cycling and feeding.

Barrels and loading

Tridos inner barrel stabilisers help centre your inner barrel inside a suppressor or outer barrel; make sure you select the correct size. Speedloader adapters include the Unicorn pistol magazine adapter, which lets you load pistol mags quickly, even with gloves on, and a TAC-41 adapter that attaches permanently to your speedloader.

More TDC and sniper options

As well as VSR-10 and SSG10 chambers, TDC 2.0 kits are available for SSG24 chambers, SSG96 stock chambers and Action Army L96 chambers, so check which chamber your rifle uses before ordering. The 14CCW to 16CW thread adapter lets you mount accessories with a different thread to your barrel.

More AAP-01 and pistol parts

AAP-01 owners can add a TDC upgrade kit and use the universal drill jig to help fit it, while a hammer assembly tool makes reassembly easier. A mini external fire selector (in various colours), a grip dust cover and a stronger magazine release spring (for AAP-01, SSP18 and G-series pistols) round off the range. For the SSX23 and MK23, there's a magazine follower upgrade (six-pack), a split magazine release for the SSX23 and SSX303, and a Tokyo Marui MK23 mount for an open universal holster (right-handed).

Speedloaders and accessories

Tridos also offers an ODIN M12 speedloader nozzle upgrade, an ODIN adapter for MP5 magazines and an SSQ22 / KC-02 speedloader adapter. Other handy extras include a protective cap for HPA tanks and a PTT guard with volume dial for the Baofeng UV-5R radio.

Choosing Tridos parts

Most Tridos parts are designed for specific platforms, so double-check the model and version of your rifle, pistol or speedloader before ordering. For upgrades that change performance, such as springs and hop-up parts, chronograph your gun afterwards to make sure it's within your site's limits.
