New Classic Army MP5 hop up very hard to adjust/move

Silverthorn · May 16th, 2009, 08:37

I have just assembled and installed a new CA hop up for my MP5. It feels hard to move when in my hand (I even greased the plastic-to-plastic contacts) and once installed in the gun it won't even budge when I use the plastic adjustement lever (even if I push with a screwdriver!).

Do I have a faulty hop up or did I do something wrong?

I had a similar problem with a ca hop-up body I tried to install a while ago.
Turned out it was just misshaped and the two plastic walls that hold the arm and bucking in place were pressing way too far inward and locking it all up.
Not the first time a stock CA hopup has been faulty.
Check that and if you have one available, try another hop up body to make sure it's not making improper contact with the outer body.
Good luck.
