Warp + Rico = not a good fit

[CMDane]

Bought a Warp this afternoon (Merry Christmas to me! :) ) but am having a minor problem getting the Ricochet to sit properly in the feed hole. I've sanded the neck down to about the same size as a revvy, but the rico still doesn't sit right. In fact, with the retention screws tightened down a decent amount (not enough to crack the warp shell, but close), I can pull the rico out of the Warp with little difficulty. Anyone with any suggestions?

My revy wasn't to tight either. So far I have put one ring of electrical tape around it and that seems to do well. I also plan on drilling a hole thru it like http://store.airgun.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=17&Product_ID=297&CATID=15 I think that will help stabalize it alot, or at least I hope!
--edit-- 2 holes!

this might help

Ended up doing a couple of things. First, I added a couple of grooves to the neck to add my own o-rings. The only way to get this bugger out of the Warp is to unscrew the warp body, the o-rings are in that tight.

Second, I fired off an e-mail to the prople that make a Rico, asking if the o-ring shell is compatible, they need to specify on their order page if any sanding is required to work with a warp, etc. They're sending me a new shell, without my asking, for free. Can't beat that with a stick. For all the complaints about the Rico's looks, not feeding, too loud, etc. their customer service can't be beat.

use electrical tape but here is the key loosen your shells so the hopper slides in nicley with the tape on then tighten no movemnet what so ver:)

yup, yup, i got mine to fit with a right of duct tape around the feed neck... then i orded my new o-ring shells and put the fattest o-ring on, opened up the warp, shoved it in, and put the warp back together

that little bugger ain't commin out anytime soon :D
i can even grab my rico while on the warp, and warp on gun and it wont budge one millimeter... thats how sturdy it is :eek:

i think that AGD should make the inside of where the hopper neck goes into the warp like the PMI Evil Smokestacks... o-rings inside to hold the hopper tight... i think i'll email them and suggest it to them

unless someone else wants to rush me to it :p
