    classic rt powerfeed problem

    I have a classic rt powerfeed mag, using a forcefeed hopper (halo b, evo 2 zboard,reloader b) the balls occcasionally lock up in the feed neck causing dryfires. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it (different powerfeed plugs/checking for debris/gelatin build-up, removing barrel/valve)still locks up. Any suggestions?
    Can a ule body be fitted to the rt classic? and still retain the original valve/rail?

    Thanks

      Yeah:

      When you put the hopper feed adapter on the powerfeed feedneck, make sure it sits as flush with the powerfeed as possible. Sometimes, when I put the feedneck on the powerfeed, I'll have a small gap at the crook of the adapter where the feedneck bends and the edge of the powerfeed meet, creating a small "platform". Paintballs will sometimes catch on that ledge and not drop down into the breach. My fix for that is to make sure there is no gap there. Feed rates improved dramatically.

        Do you have a parabolic powerfeed plug? If not, order one from AGD. The original plugs had a flat spot that would cause the balls to not feed right. The way to tell if it is a parabolic (besides looking at the curve) is it will have two set screws in the end to adjust it's depth when in the feed tube.

        No, the ULE bodies will not fit on the classic RT.

          thanks for the help, I looked at the PF plug and it is parabolic shaped however I found no evidence of set screws to adjust depth? maybe I have an older version?

            If it has no set screws it is an older one and is not a true parabolic. The older ones will cause force fed loaders to jam. AGD found this when they developed the warpfeed.

            If you look at the old one, there is a flat spot in the curve. The new plugs are a constant curve.

              Hey, I just ordered a plug from AGD, got it last week, I dont see any set screws either? What gives? It also looks to be curved slightly more than the older plug.

                Hmm, interesting. All of the parabolic plugs I have seen have set screws. Maybe they changed them. Might want to give them a call and ask. I am interesting in knowing because the set screws were the way I would tell people if they had a parabolic plug or not. I would hate to be giving out false info. Maybe I'll ask Tater or Rob in chat tonight.
