Topic: is this right so far?

Hi i got my Kit today and started assembling today.  I have a question concerning the hopper placement. My Serial Number is  1239, and i ordered a printed hopper with the package, so as i understood it should be a V5. I placed it as in the manual discribed with the flat side away from the wood and if i look inside there seems to be a shift between the hopper whole and the whole in the iron part. assembled correct so far or did i read something wrong?

You can flip the hopper around. I experimented with moving the cutout a bit (ended up not really mattering), and flipping the hopper lets one hopper work with both barrel styles.
