End result; I can turn the hop completely off, or completely on (enough to jam BBs good), and anything in between.

Also, I found the rubber bit in which the nozzle goes into, has to be sanded to remove any flash, that will make your BBs hook. Sighting down the barrel (when removed), will show how much the un-trimmed flashing, will protrude into the way of an incoming BB. Sand until everything is lined up (see rendering)
LOL...got to stay out of trouble.

The over sized nub is ok for indoors CQB...but I'll trim it for field use this week. No jamming though with it turned all the way off the other night.

What did you use for an extended nub? I used a thin slice of silicone wire shielding under the ball bearing on another buddy's rifle...works fine. I figured it would "give" enough not to under/over hop things.

I'd greatly appreciate more detail on shaving the flashing...I haven't had to do that myself yet.

How hard are these home made adjusters to make? I'd appreciate it if we could get a look at em at the Gasgun Famil session. If it's not too hard to make I might just give it a shot for my Scar if possible
Both home made adjusters are easy to make. Litterally minutes. If you bring the nozzle by, I'll make one for you to field/test.
