The hop also seems to have no effect what so ever so I was hoping to try and access it. I assume you have to remove the gear box so you have to get to it by removing the trigger and grip as well as the side screws on the reciever?
Thanks again!

Yea, it seems like everyone is having problems with the QD spring. Just do your best to spin the sector gear so that it's not engaging the piston and release the ARL so there's as little spring/piston/sector interaction as possible.
To remove the gearbox, yes, you have to lower and the screws on the side of the upper. If you don't split them apart, you can't take them out of the receiver.
To access the hop-up chamber, technically, you don't have to remove the gearbox. That's provided you are comfortable with taking the barrel retaining "C" clip off while it's still in the receiver. After that, just slide the inner barrel forward and there'll be only one screw that holds the chamber to the gearbox.
It's probably easier to just take out the gearbox though. You'll have to eventually fix the QD spring anyway if you ever plan on having this feature. Also, it will make taking out the gearbox a lot easier in the future.
