Hopped up on a Friday Night!

I spent last night playing around with the barrel and hop unit of my SR25, I figure while it's still dead I might as well do an autopsy of sorts. It was a good job I did too, I suppose, as that's how I found out the barrel had been rotated from it's proper position in the hop unit, and learned what the inside of a hop unit and barrel looks like with hop applied. I also like how the gearing on the unit is designed to prevent you from over-hopping and could be used to gauge exactly how much hop is being applied.

I'l be honest, I got a little worried when the hop nub fell out, and after a few failed attempts at rolling it back into place with a small screwdriver, I sandwiched it between the barrel window, hop rubber, and the casing of the hop unit itself and slid it all into place. Much easier than I expected, and something I probably would have found out straight away if I had looked on YouTube!
