I was inside my VSR's hop-up chamber today trying to add some aluminum foil shims(TM precision unit, if that makes a difference), noticed the little divot in the hop-up arm, and recall thinking to myself "huh... You could probably fit an AEG hop-up nub pretty snugly in there...".

I've also noticed that the rifle doesn't seem to hop heavier BBs too well (I stick to .28s and .3s mostly as a result), so I'm very curious to see what results you get with the addition of a nub. Currently, I have to go back in and take out the shims anyway, as I did something wrong and now my shots are curving right. :

Hey Rick, thanks for pointing that out. I always figured that the TM precision chamber was the the "top of the line" VSR hop-up chamber out there. Haven't heard much on the PDI and I don't see too much raving going on about the Laylax NEO. I could just have missed it at some point though.

If all I need to do is replace the arm to get a bit more hop, I'll probably be scouring eBay relatively soon. Though I'm still curious about sticking a nub in there and seeing how it goes.

Hell, I might also be able to stick a lined piece of index card right along the arm's slot to push it down an extra millimeter or so during adjustments. Alex, I remember seeing your pictures over on C3, and I noticed you did exactly that. Any word and how it affected your hop?

Darn. And here I was yesterday swearing up, down, left, and right I wouldn't be opening that rifle again for another week. Well, time to break out the tools and Reese's Pieces.
