Has anyone here done the flat hop before? Please tell me something more about it.

I want to install an R hop in my M28 but there is no freaking way I wanna take apart my rifle about 20 times. I just dont wanna,lol.. So the next best option is either R hop my Sr25 cause the hopup is much easier to get to.. then when its perfect, take the barrel back out and put it in my M28? Would it be the same setting or would the different hopup and bucking make things different?

Also, since I just dont wanna fool with an R hop so much, would the flat hop just be the way to go?

I guess its safe to admit I am getting lazy in my old age,haha.. The R hop just seems like too much work! I dont wanna fiddle with it that much. I'm already getting 250ft or so with the stock bucking and excelent accuracy since I shimmed the hopup arm and did the Tdc.. Or should I not even bother since its already a pretty awesome rifle?

Somewhere I read, the flat nub is basically the same exact thing as a regular hop up system, but instead, the bucking hop up bump and alignment bump are taken off via knife, sandpaper, etc. and then rotated. The bucking is anchored, and lastly the nub is basically this large, flat surface that pushes the bucking and giving it a "flat" surface of contact.

Is that right? Seems extremely easy to do and possible to get it perfectly on the first attempt. It also seems better for lighter bb, since applying a lot of hop up this way would be a lot harsher than R-hop.
