SFL proto warp breach test results..

[kilaueakid]

Testing went very, very well this morning. I put 1200 rounds through the new breach without a sputter, quirk, barrel break, chop. I tried using the ACE, but it would not sense a ball ocasionally. I had to set the sensitivity very low on it, otherwise it would read the ball to early.

I ended up turning the ACE off and not using it. To be honest, I think if you are using a Warp, an ACE system is not neccesary. Especially if you have a 12volt mod done to your warp.

I am taking some suggestions from the first thread on this and will try to incorporate a ball stop mechanism of some kind so the balls don't back out of the breach, it may be just another ball detent located in the proper place. I haven't had any problems with this problem happening, but I will try leaving it sit awile without shooting, and maybe even run with it to see if this happens.

Anyway...I have already done the hose mod after testing this morning. Here are some more pics.

last pic. After some more testing another breach will be made and will have some milling on it to match the sfl style milling.

And then you'll mail mine right out....

I will run it through some field tests this sunday. I don't want to be surprised. It seems shooting it in the backyard is always a bit different than on the field.

The next version may also have a powerfeed plug on the opposite side. Why you may ask....in the rare chance there is chop, the plug can be removed and a pull through squeegee can be used to clean out the breach. Is this an option people would like?

Load, do you have any mods done to your sfl right now? or is it the exact way you got it....besides the grips?

Don't forget to put me down for one. My SFL has no mods and I think my paint breakage problem is partly due to the ball stack and 90 degree adapter. The breach looks really good and is one of the reasons I purchased the SFL to begin with. Can't wait to get one when they're ready.

The powerfeed plug on the other side would be real cool. Just make it out of aluminum like the Eclipse plugs.

No mods whatsoever. In all seriousness, if for any reason you need another tester I'd be happy to help. I have my own makeshift range with chrono behind my house.

OOOHHH......sweet. Can't wait till there complete cause I want to put a warp on sfl. But don't like how it looks when you have to attach the hose on the vert feed.

As for putting a 2nd ball bent to help with balls backing out. As long as the warps running would it really make a diffference. Seeing how the warp forces the balls in to the breech the balls shouldn't be able to back out. But it can't hurt to put on in just in case.
Keep up the good work.

I'm not sure where the ACE is, but it sounds like it is on the side. If that is the case couldnt you just put it on the top or bottom?

12 volt mod? can you elaborate, or direct me to a thread?

Would it be possible to have the warp feed on the body a little bit higher than it currently sits? High enough to be out of range so ACE can't read the ball till it drops down into the breech. I'm thinking couple mm or so, but then again i have no clue how far the ACE system can read paint so i'm unsure if that would work.

Also a plug on the other side i think would be great, have it like a 1/4 turn lock, made out of aluminum. Flat with the body cept for a little nub big enough to turn to unlock easily enough.

Is this tested with the agd ace?
