    Dual ULE Detents and Brittle Paint / Reloader B on a ULE Mag

    Well, after having bought an Empire Reloader B and being stuck with a nightmare because the hunk of junk activates with even the slightest noise and causes the Level 10 to engage on the next shot, I need some solution. I was thinking dual detents might help with this by making it more difficult for the loader to push it forward, but I am worried what this will do for brittle paint.

    Has anyone who has done this noticed increased breakage with brittle paint? Also, does anyone know if it sounds like my Reloader B is defective? The faint click of my E-Mag's solenoid with the safety on is enough to trigger it.

    Dual detents would definitely help fix any double feeding
    or you could try a Kila detent, they are adjustable force so if you throw an extra magnet in it it should br strong enough to hold back a Reloder B

      I had bad luck with Kila's. Took one apart to adjust it and couldn't get it reassembled. The magnets kept flipping. Guess there's nothing stopping me from sticking a quick disconnect o-ring on a standard detent as a spacer to let me back it out farther in case there's problems.

        Use blue loctite on the Kilas. Orings get compressed and you either end up screwing the detent in too far or it comes loose.

        Also, I'm not sure how the tests ran, but Bitwizard on here had a mod for Reloader B's that made them more adjustable than B2's, with sensitivity and power adjustments.

        I set my ULE body up with my loader and tested it with .688 paint. I go to a game and get sub .684 and there was nothing I had that would keep it in the breach with a B2. An old Halo worked fine though.

          Here's a question. Someone told me the new Halo's use breakbeam eyes so they work with dark paint. Is this true?

              Any other ideas before I send my ULE body off to Luke?

                Get a torque. Best hopper on the market. Mags love them.

                  I would honestly get a new hopper.
