Like the title says, I finally R-Hopped my m700!

Here's a gist of what I did:

R-Hop Material: McMaster metric high-temperature silicone rubber tubing id # 5041k54.



Bucking: Stock Jg vsr bucking (from my g spec)

Barrel: Stock 6.1 Kjw M700 barrel



The process:

First off I cut about a half inch piece of the tubing and measured the length and width of my hop window.

Next I sanded the mound off of my bucking and cut a piece of rubber on the outside to make it match my Kjw stock bucking



After that I sanded/shaped the patch to fit my barrel (note: I sanded it till it was flat, it wasn't finished in this pic)



Results:

Before R-Hop

Target @ 185ft: hit 3/5 times

Range: about 220ft

After R-Hop:

Target @185ft: hit 5/5 times

Range: about 260ft

Overall the r-Hop helps my gun out a lot. It increase consistency in range and overall range. It took me about 3 hours to do and mate $20 worth of supplies. I would recommend this to anyone who is skilled with teching, and is willing to take the time to research and install.

Update on KJW M700 R-Hopped!

I'm using my king arms air seal bucking for a better airseal because if that's all the bucking is used for then why not? :shrug: I just had to practice sanding the mound on some old buckings.

Also something "different" is going on with my r-Hop. It's not bad, but it's different than an authentic r-hop. I don't really care if this can be fixed because my gun is still shooting great. So when I place the patch onto the hop window, and glue it down, your suppose to sand it right? Well I did this the first time to where the patch was flush with he barrel, but after I put my gun back together and shot it on max hop, it wouldn't give the bb any backspin. So I have to let the patch pop up 1mm from the barrel to make it able to more than enough hop.

Again my gun works perfectly, but it's just something weird id'e thought id'e share

Quick question, would it be worth buying the M Nub from Hunter Seekers Armory? Will it improve my R-Hop a lot? Or would it not be worth $15?

Update: Just played my first game with it yesterday, it worked perfectly. I felt more confident shooting people at 150ft+. I also went on a pretty nice kill streak w/ me vs 4 other people

M nub will not fit if you use the stock chamber i guess. and its pretty squisy. Try to make something out of hard eraser.

Nice, I had a similar idea for making my own R-Hop patch, but I cut it wrong for my barrel... haven't had time to work on another one.

Gratz on 200th post and if you order a 5-10ft tube, you can make all the mistakes you want

Theres a shapeways chamber… Wouldn't recommend it but its there

blue tubing

link where you purchased the silicone tubing material? im thinking about buying one and practicing making a r hop myself

go to: McMaster-Carr
Find the Search bar
Type this in it: 51135k17 and make sure the dimensions are 3/16" and 5/16"
Go here for pics: http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/32-general-sniper-talk/9551-r-hop-source-material.html

Also it is good to practice with. Ive R-Hopped others guns at my local airsoft field because Ive become familiar with how it all works and how to do it.

Thanks for linking that, have been looking for the right tubing, and for about $10 for 10ft it sounds way better than paying $30 for 3 patches that I will fail horribly at.

That was also one of my plans, to become good enough at working on them, so I can help my friends when they eventually R-Hop their guns.

Also, thanks, didn't notice I hit 200 posts

I heard that PVC tubing that is used in fish tanks works as well .. anyone confirm this ?

Never heard of that. Might be, but Ide stick to the norm if I were you.

That tubing may not have the proper inner diameter. The reason the linked tubing is proper because it first of all works under the normal earthly climate, 0-100 degrees Fahrenheit, so you don't need to worry about it becoming rigid or anything, it will just keep the same flexibility consistently. Also the size of the tubing is perfect because once you sand down the sides and legs the inner diameter will be flush with your barrel, so you don't need to sand the inside down. But ya know, if you have enough time on you hands you may as well test it.

I've installed an improved R-Hop into my gun now because my old one was ripped by a shattered bb, see my bb king .43 review for more info. So now I made one that has a smaller length, is flush with the barrel, and has a bigger concave (I used a Dremel tool and a round head). This improve my R-Hops accuracy go about a 0-8" spread at 250 ft. Also my range has minorly been improved.


Also do you see that white stuff inside the barrel? It's that white stuff that super glue lets off. I'm wondering in anyone has a way to remove it, but it doesn't seem to be affecting performance so I may leave it.
