You'll need to sand the feed neck on the halo down, they intentionally left alot of "meat" on it so you can customize the fit.

Mr. Dremel is your friend. Took me a whole 36 seconds to have the perfect fit with Mr. Dremel :)

I just got my Halo B back from Odyssey with some new free smoke shells, and I literally spend 25 minutes sanding it to perfection to fit my ULE mainbody. I went through almost one full sheet of sandpaper. I forgot the grit, but I can check if you really want me to. I have a big ace blister to show for it too.

Sand sand sand! I have a matrix LED and a clear HALO B, and I had to sand that baby a LOT to get it to fit into the stock feedneck. Keep trying.

Yeah the Halo fit in my no-rise when I used to have one; the profile on a ULE is a little bit lighter but with a Halo I hated not being about to take off my barrel without taking off my hopper too.

jeebus dude just sand. If you have an electric drill you can probably get a sanding drum for it, but just sand. You need to get in touch with your masculine side :)

Yea you will have to sand, but be warned.

HALO HORROR STORY!

Friend of mine, had his halo for a while sanded it to feed his imp feed neck. First time I played with him he had a feed problem. No big deal rite? Wrong. He took the Imp feed neck off and the outer layer of "meat" was broken off in the imp feedneck. Luckly we were saved. Because that day just happen to be the day when the youth group rented out the woods and there were tons of girls there and they saved us with pretty pink nail polish. So remember be easy with the sand paper and when you don't have epoxy use nail polish.
