When installing a barrel, it's almost all the same. Find a way to get your current barrel out, remove a C clip, and then if you're lucky the hop up rubber will come smoothly off your barrel, but I find that the rubber loves to stick to the barrel. You have to play around with it for a while to get the rubber to come off without hurting it. I always have an extra hopup rubber around just incase as I'm pretty brutal with take downs.

Then you insert your new barrel, make sure that the hopup hole is facing the right direction (it can only face up or down as the C clip doesn't allow the barrel to go into the hopup in any other directions) and then just reassemble the way you disassembled.

One warning, the hopup has a little, actually tiny piece of tube that pushes down on the hop up rubber. Becareful not to lose it and becareful to put it back in flat and in the right place or your hop up doesn't work anymore.


Getting to hopup and removing the barrel is the hard part.
