You can also Rhop any non-square barrel. I've gotten really good at doing PDI and orga barrels with the angled and curved windows.
My point was it's chancy to Rhop a stock barrel. ESPECIALLY when you're charging $45+ for it.
Dude has you Rhop a barrel that turns out to be bent, scratched and otherwise just crap. Then complains to the world your Rhop sucks. You explain the problem is the barrel. Then you get flak for knowingly charging $45 to Rhop something that was destined to never be good.
I'm not going to have someone waste $45 on a crap barrel no matter how much I dislike them lol
It's a far better idea to spend 1/3 of that money on a good hop rubber that provides similar performance AND is transferable between any barrel.
Rhopping a stock barrel is like putting racing slicks on a stock vehicle and expecting it to be a race car.
