I figure you staff have to pay close attention to forums.
Any chance that KWA would put more R&d into their stock hopups... and use a flat style hop?
Maybe this is a question for parts manufactures... But I like the idea of KWA doing it.
Thanks

Currently, KWA is exploring new hop up designs. Don't expect to see something like the Rhop but maybe more like the flat hop. The Rhop would be very difficult to mass manufacture in stock guns, and could cause unnecessary problems. Maybe we'll see something new implemented next year..?

the Rhop, IRhop, ZRhop, EZhop..... are nto for everyone and are pretty finicky to get just right for lots of people.. they are more for people who like to tinker with their guns.
dont think KWA would ever mass produce anything like that.
but it would be nice if they came out with a better factory hop up.

kwa buckings are a bit to thin to last long as a flat hop.

Actually for a flat hop thin is good. But I think we can do better.

Just got these REAPS buckings in today. The inside looks just like the rhop patches or is the same concept. I got all 3 versions so I will test over the weekend and post results. I will use one for my 565FPS DMR w/ .40g, 415FPS SR10 with .25/.30 and even in my 365FPS CQB. I may end up doing a little filing on the bucking contact patches but it will be interesting to see how they perform.

Honestly, I can't say that looks familiar lol. I see what may be a bucking and what may be a maglite.
