So basically whenever I tried to set it, the spring would force it back down. When I did have it set, with out it moving, after a single shot it would slip. Could just be the hop up gear/wheel set, they didn't seem to align properly. I'm yet to try a new one.
Yeah G&P hop units tend to do that, there's an easy fix for it - just sand down the post where the adjustment wheel sits such that when the screw is installed the pressure isn't on the post but the wheel itself. Then the wheel won't slip. Alternatively a small lock washer works.
