Got my Halo-B back

[spacemanspiff]

Wow I sent in my Halo-B for some repsirs and it was back to me within 5 days man it was sweet. Funny thing is though most of you know that I cut my halo to fit as a no-rise on my SFL. Well on the repair slip that I got back with my halo the guy wrote in big letters:
Note- Do NOT cut the inner feedneck!!!

I understand why he wouldn't want me to do it but needless to say I went right out to the garage and cut out the new one they put in there.

Got to love the B......(this poor thread just needed to be replied to.

my first halo-b was one of the ones with the faulty motors. odessey repaired it for free (expected with a recall) and their speed and customer service was excelent. while it was irratating that a whole batch of hoppers made it out with bad motors...their immediate attention to the matter and great customer service in getting it back to me in less than 7 days from the day i mailed it to them made the differance between odessey and some other companies ive dealt with.

thats good to know about their customer service. I was gunna get an egg2, but i dont know now

You won't get that kind of treatment from Brass Eagle, that's for sure. Go for the Halo.

i've just heard so many feeding problems w/ the haloB

[TRIAD]

Most, if not ALL, of those are user-induced problems either from faulty ball detents-, bad dwells, etc.

[cphilip]

Yep I had one o dem bad motors too. They fixed it right up.

I not sure why you are cutting the inner feed tube. Is it a lack of a "bell" to slip the neck into and you are putting it over a cut feed tube? If so you realy should invest in one of them Angel feed necks and not do it the way you are. It will feed better I think.

[magman007]

but phil! us sfl owners want a no rise also, and shocktech nor agd have done a dang thing for us in that area. The java adapters are butt ugly, and create a highrise. We want to slip our hoppers over the feed neck.. ITs the best way, and it seems to feed really well... Id rather be using a halo b athen a 12 vt in this situation as well

[spacemanspiff]

Yes cphilip like magman said I with a no-rise heres a pic to show you what I do. I also run my revy the same way and works great. And if I remeber correctly the halo works better on a shorter ball stack in the neck. Until the no-rise breeches are made available to us SFLers I'll be hacking up loaders to fit like this.

[Load SM5]

And it works like a charm to. I was tearing away on mine in Hybrid mode and it never missed a beat. It feeds great. The remaining inner core meets right up with the top of the SFL feed neck.

Spaceman-It's kind of funny that they scolded you about cutting the core like that when Chris thought it was such a good idea at Shatnerball.

Do the upgrades for the A model work? I can score an A model for $45.

Yup all HALO A's can be upgraded for I believe it is 35 dollars to the HALO B.

lol so true.

I guess the repair/tech guys don't get out much to see what people can do with there loader.
