Airtech Studios Spring Shims

Airtech Studios Spring Shims are a set of four polymer spacers that let you fine-tune the FPS of your AEG without swapping the spring. They slide onto the spring guide inside the gearbox to add tension to the existing spring.

Precise FPS Control

Each shim is a different thickness. Fitted from smallest to largest they add roughly 5, 10, 15 and 20 FPS, and they can be combined to dial in the exact power you need. That makes staying under a site limit quick and repeatable.

Specifications

This set has a 10mm inner diameter to suit most Tokyo Marui spec spring guides. Krytac, VFC and ASG guides use the 11mm version, so check your platform before ordering. The shims are moulded in green and grey reinforced polymer.

Tune Your Setup

An easy alternative to cutting springs or buying several. Browse more airsoft upgrade parts or our airsoft repair service in Kent.
