rsvpiper Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Recently received a new S&T Mosin, it's brand new straight out the box and the hop just doesn't! The adjuster was nearly fully unscrewed out the breach, so much so that bb's just rolled out the barrel! Slowly winding on the hop provides absolutely no change🤔 to the point where the adjuster is fully in and the bb's still just roll out the end if the barrel. I've got onto the shop about returning it but they are dragging their feet it's been a week now! Well today I decided to pull the thing apart! And what a surprise was in store! The barrel had been fitted upside down so the grub screw has basically just cut straight through the nub!🤷♂️ S&T quality control is awesome 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted September 8 Supporters Share Posted September 8 that's impressive i mean assuming the components themselves weren't made incorrectly (ie the barrel window isn't cut on the wrong side) how the hell do you fit a hop bucking upside down and not at least have either a big lump or the locator pin making it painfully obvious the thing isn't going to fit in the hop unit?

EDcase Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 😬 I've had a new pistol arrive with the hop rubber not seated properly but nothing as bad as yours. Not good S&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
