How hard is it to change/upgrade the Castle cup. Is there any instructions/videos on this process? Thanks

Hi Mako,

It is a very easy action, you only need to remove the old cap by pull it and insert the new cup, it has a mark to easily identify the position.

Regards,
Mako

Oh okay so there is a mark on the original cap somewhere and it pops off from there. Easy enough then, I will look for the mark today and may ordered to castle cup also.

Thx Shark !

One more question, is it possible to put a castle cup on the weapon select switch ? That would be great if so.

I agree with this idea, and would also be curious to find out.

Also if the index-finger hat is as easy to swap out (just pull and it comes off)?

Got the Castle cup in today and it was very easy popping it off and replacing the upgraded one.

Right thumb at 9 0clock and index finger at 3 oclock then just start pinching/pulling it up, came off pretty easy. There is a grey mark on the upgraded castle cup where the notch is that must be aligned for it to be properly seated. I went a little further and shaved down the pointy corners with a nail file. Looks and feels awesome !
