Rex Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) After searching through the forum I was unable to find the specific answer (and hopefully personal experience) to my question. Does the ProWin M4 hop-up unit work well with an r-hopped barrel? I recently decided to r-hop my PDI 6.05 barrel. After speaking with a few forum members and researching online I found a retailer (Hop Systems) who offers both r-hop installs as well as barrel window milling (#PDIproblems). However, I was surprised to learn that Hop Systems doesn't suggest using a ProWin hop-up unit for the r-hop "because it does not apply pressure evenly with the M-nub." Is this true? Does anyone use a ProWin with their r-hopped barrel? Hop Systems suggests using the Lonex metal M4 hop-up unit. For $14 I am not overly concerned about the price; however, adjusting the dials on this style of hop-up is one of the primary reasons I switched to the rotary ProWin style.

AceReaper Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My krytac with the rhop madbull barrel uses a prowin hop unit. Works great for me with .30g bbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 I really should have asked to shoot it on Saturday... Will it over hop 28s? Have you compared your r-hop set up with anther that didn't use a ProWin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I can get Dj over to my house and I can use his upper on my rifle to test. He has the same barrel but with a G&G green and an h nub/stock unit vs. an rhop/prowin in mine. It won't overhop .28 depending on fps. I was using .25's sunday with negligible overhopping issues.

hrturner Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Pro-win anything has never let me down. I can't speak to the R-Hop aspects but the hop-up units themselves are fantastic and well worth the investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I have been very happy with my prowin and I can't imagine it having any trouble with an r-hop, but that is the claim made by Hop Systems. Oh well, I sent my parts in with Nox so hopefully it works. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
