The new dan wesson 715 revolver has a built in hop up. The inner barrel and hop up are spring loaded so that it's being pushed against the cylinder. If I adjust the hop up any more than 'moderately', then something goes wrong. As far as I can tell, the grub screw is backing out enough that it's pressing against the inside of the body, if I push the end of the hop up that seals with the cylinder in it no longer springs back out. If the end is pushing against the cylinder, then the trigger pull becomes ridiculously hard because the cylinder can't advance because the hop end isn't moving inwards. If I put the grub screw in about 180 degrees (reducing hop up), then it all works fine, but the problem is at that point there is little to no hop up. If I adjust it to the point to add any hop up to the BB, then this problem occurs of the inner barrel and hop up not springing back and forth any more. ASG doesn't take questions from users, so I thought I'd post it here. The only fix right now I can think of is drill out the hole for the allen key so the grub screw protrudes into it instead of binding on the inside of the body. That or modify the hop up unit so that the amount of hop starts to take effect with the grub screw further inside the unit (backing the grub screw out increases hop).
It's cool that this revolver has a hop up built into it, it would just be nice to be able to use it w/out it rendering the revolver inoperable.
