Nuprol V2 Tappet Plate - Reliable Feeding & Gearbox Timing

The tappet plate is the unsung hero of your gearbox - responsible for the precise back-and-forth movement of your air nozzle - If your RIF has suddenly stopped feeding BBs or is "dry firing" despite a full magazine - a snapped or worn tappet plate is often the culprit - This Nuprol V2 Tappet Plate is a reinforced - high-density polymer component designed to restore perfect timing to your Version 2 gearbox - ensuring every shot is loaded reliably - even during high rates of fire -

Key Features & Performance

• High-Flex Polymer Construction - Engineered to withstand the constant high-speed reciprocating stress without snapping or deforming over time -
• Precision Moulding - Designed for a smooth - low-friction slide within the gearbox shells - reducing drag on your sector gear -
• V2 Specification - A direct "drop-in" fit for standard Version 2 gearboxes found in M4 - M16 - MP5 - and G3 platforms -
• Reinforced Stress Points - Extra material around the "fin" area where the sector gear nub makes contact - preventing the most common cause of internal failure -
• Bright Visual ID - Finished in a distinct colour making it easy to inspect for wear or timing issues during maintenance -

The Pro Take

When we are teching RIFs - we look for parts that offer a balance between rigidity and flexibility - A tappet plate that is too brittle will snap under the pressure of a high-speed build - while one that is too soft will bend and cause feeding skips - Nuprol has hit the "goldilocks" zone with this one - It is an essential spare to keep in your kit bag - especially if you run a high-ROF (Rate of Fire) setup where the tappet plate is working double-time to keep up with the gears -

UK Spec & Site Performance

In the UK - most woodland sites limit AEGs to 350 FPS - which usually means a standard spring and gear set - However - many UK players are now moving toward 11.1v LiPo batteries for better trigger response in CQB - This puts significantly more strain on your internal timing - The Nuprol V2 Tappet Plate is built to handle the increased cycle speeds common in modern UK builds - ensuring you don't suffer a mid-game breakdown during a critical push at a site like The Mall or a muddy Sunday at a local woodland skirmish - It is fully compatible with all UKARA-standard M4 variants - from budget-friendly rentals to high-end custom builds -

Friendly FAQ

Will this fit my M4 or AR-15 style airsoft gun?

Yes - almost all M4 - M16 - and HK416 style AEGs use a Version 2 gearbox - making this tappet plate a standard fit for those platforms -

Does this include the tappet spring?

This is the tappet plate only - We always recommend checking your existing spring for tension when you replace the plate - as a weak spring can also cause feeding issues -

Do I need to modify this to fit my gearbox?

In most standard V2 gearboxes - this is a straight swap - However - if you are using a very specific high-speed sector gear - you may need to "trim" the fin slightly - which is standard practice for advanced airsoft teching -

Is it hard to install?

Installing a tappet plate requires opening the gearbox - which is an intermediate-level tech task - If you are comfortable taking your gearbox apart - it is a simple part to seat into the tracks -
