I hope it's not that hot, surely not. But I just got the hopup myself(still waiting on the rifle. I must say it seems robust, and well made!

Hey Tim,

Any feedback on the hopup unit? Trying to decide if this is a good buy for me as well.

Thanks!

Friends, I've been working with Snakebitey from Reddit and have finally finished an adapter for my M700. I'm actually really excited about it.

It is a 3d printed adapter that glues directly to a tapped short mag for the M700. The adapter accepts mp5 magazines and is essentially a TAPP style adapter. It lets you keep one gas mag in the rifle and stay in the rifle, but allows for reloading of simple AEG MP5 magazines.

I use the CYMA short type midcap mags. (Same mag's you'd use in a KC-02 if you know these builds.) They are cheap, fit in a pistol mag pouch, not so ridiculously unrealistic as they only hold ~60bb's, and don't stick down that far. Kinda gives the M700 the look of a .22... but oh man the convenience! I will post pictures shortly, and please let me know if anyone would like the 3d files!

This setup essentially makes the M700 as convenient a rifle as my Wolverine BOLT VSR... so if you can't tell I'm pretty pumped.

Here's the pics. Adapter is JB welded to the short type mag. Hole drilled in the bb tube. Put the MP5 mag into the adapter and the adapter releases the bb's from the mp5 mag, double stacking into the m700 mag. When mag is empty the BB's don't push up anymore so bolt gets blocked (like it would if you were normally hitting the follower.

The plan is to cut that long macroline shorter, get an Amped Airsoft gripline and hot-glue the macroline fitting into that grip hole. Will make it semi-permanent and structurally sound, also fixing the problem of flex tubing getting cut up and leaky during gameplay.

Best part is friction holds the 11 bb's in the M700 mag so when you pull the MP5 mag from the adapter only 1 bb falls out, not all 11.
