Mine was pretty damn stiff when it was new, but as is the nature of pins it wears looser pretty damn quickly if you tinker with the hop as much as i do. From the left if the muzzle is pointed toward you
EDcase Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 I think left/right is always considered looking down sights. ie holding the weapon in the operating orientation. As said, mine is push from right.

I have it mostly out just need to get some pliers to it

I have it mostly out just need to get some pliers to it it does wear out very quickly, mine almost drops free now. if it gets too bad i'll look into getting a bigger pin for it.

Part 009 for reference Just sits underneath, you have to poke it a bit to get it centralised
EvilMonkee Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 @Adolf HamsterMajor bumpage. I have got the hop unit back together and everything is in place but for some reason when I fire the slide lock engages after every shot - any ideas?
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted October 27, 2020 Author Supporters Posted October 27, 2020 The little spring hasnt popped off has it? It loves to do that
EvilMonkee Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 The one on the left side thats attached to that little plastic piece? Nope I glued that sucker on.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted October 27, 2020 Author Supporters Posted October 27, 2020 Me gun is in bits currently getting a refinish, but i'm meaning where the spring hooks over the tab here:
EvilMonkee Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Nope not ever seen a spring on that bit so I must be missing it - any chance you have a photo of the spring or the part number? Cheers Struggling to see which piece you mean on the exploded diagram.
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted October 28, 2020 Author Supporters Posted October 28, 2020 I'll try and grab a pic later. The spring is nested in the left side of the trigger unit, it shouldnt fall out unless you remove the whole thing. One end sits on the slide lock holds it down, so i'm assuming if its slipped off then the catch is jumping up when firing.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted October 28, 2020 Author Supporters Posted October 28, 2020 Its cool, like i say mines currently in bits anyway, trying to get a proper blued finish to it.
EvilMonkee Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Its certainly a fiddly wee brute to get back together. Will keep an eye out when I get home for those pics - cheers again
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted October 28, 2020 Author Supporters Posted October 28, 2020 Its not the worst, i'd take it over a 1911 with its 3 fingered spring of never being in the right damn place.
EvilMonkee Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Found that spring, god its miniscule All fixed and can now actually hop .3s. Thanks for the help. Learnt a lot about the platform.

Thank god it doesnt go walkies as long as you leave the trigger unit in.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted November 2, 2020 Author Supporters Posted November 2, 2020 Iirc the pdi i'm running is usp compact length, 75mm sounds about right
EvilMonkee Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 Had the chance to blast away in daylight with the new nub and I key yesterday - sending .3s a good 40m without the barrel extension (I can't find it). Gas efficiency still shit in this weather but overall a hell of an improvement.
