Whats the deal with the Kraken hopup?

Alright, so I have a Kraken on its way. and i've been stumbling across threads saying A) It does have a TM compatable hopup and B) It does not. Though, some say theres a difference between the krakens in the US and whats in canada. I baught from Buyairsoft (Yeah, I know.) and i'm curious now. They have the compatable hopup, right? I'll have a lot of money put down to clean this gun up once it comes around, and i'm curious if i need to add a whole new hopup unit to my list of shit to get.

So, if someone can clear this up for me, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Also, anyone know where I can get an AKM style wood frontgrip/stock set in canada?

Step 1: buy Prowin or TM hopup unit
Step 2: remove kraken hopup, throw in garbage
Step 3: install Prowin/TM hopup unit

The kraken hopup is TM compatible in that it can be swapped out with a TM unit, in its stock form it is not a TM hopup. Also the stock barrel is not a normal AEG barrel so when you swap the hopup unit you will need replace the inner barrel as well.

I bought a pro-win and instaled it on my kraken no problems, I find that it seems to chew the front of hole in the mag where the bbs come out, I have seen this with o other ak too. So far it feeds ok

froms what I can tell the Clear version of the Kraken has a TM compatible hopup.

But you will want to upgrade the barrel anyway sinse the stock one is so crappy. just go ahead and buy a TM compatible hopup unit and a TM hopup rubber (deepfire is good) and a tightbore barrel 6.04mm is a good size if you don't buy expensive ammo. cheaper ammo tends to jam in barrels much smaller than this.

The advice you give is awful...

You should be fine with any tightbore because I assume no one here should be using shitty ammo... I mean... KSC perfects are available from 15-20 bucks a bag of 4000

Seriously.

It's the best AK hopup you can buy.
