negatory, good buddy. I know what you're referring to, but that's not what I mean.

I mean, while the hop-up assembly is resting properly against the front of the mechbox, if I look through the mag well, into where the BB's would be going, about 1/4 of the hole is actually physically blocked by part of the hop-up assembly.

In the fourth picture in that link you posted there, you can see his thumb resting where the mechbox would be.

In front of his thumb, you can see the opening to the barrel, and the surrounding plastic. While the gun is assembled, it's as though that opening is too far back, and is actually directly in line with the feed nozzle, instead of right at the front edge of it.

Because of this, that section between the hop-up wheel and the opening to the barrel blocks the feed nozzle pathway while the gun is assembled.

If this doesn't make any sense, I'll try to snap a few photos and maybe put some highlights on the images here, since it's pretty hard to explain, but it'd be easier to show visually.
