Any advise on how to get the ULE feedneck off the body (without scratching it with pliers)? Thanks.

Definatly go with the strap wrench. Even with cloth wrapped around it, a metal wrench will still scratch your anno.Comment

try boiling some water first then turn the water off and put the feedneck under the water for 2 minutes then use the strap wrench to remove it ...owned mags since the begining of time . arguably the best gun in the world . 12 years with both mags and still not a stumble in either one . over a billion bunkered .coming to a feild neer you slinging streams of paint and taking names .Comment

Put a spacer in your hoper neck, put it as far in the feed tube as you can get it and start turning it till it loosens up. (NOTE: this is how mine came loose, when I didn't want it to)You are the Wormtongue of AO.~bofh

Go with the strap wrench, by far the safest way to go. I had to do that to mine.
Once I got it off I coulda swore it had lok-tite on it.Comment

I'll go with the strap wrench. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who had this trouble. Looks like I'll have to loctite my new feed tube in when I get.Last edited by cphilip; 06-06-2003, 08:26 AM.ULE Body Level 10 Automag intelliframe + retrovalveComment

Dooh! LOL...Sorry aaron!!! I am in a fog of antihistamines this morning. I was thinking X Mag feed necks when I was replying!!!
How embarrasing... 
Yea but I do think they might have lock tighted some but I have not tried to take mine off yet so I should not even have commented above what has been said. Had I been thinking clearly I would not have. If there is some locktight then heat would be the trick...Comment

Loctite
Just to confirm, there is red loctite on the feedtube threads. My HaloB wasn't sanded down enough and I was in a rush to leave the pball fields in a downpour of rain so I just ended up unscrewing the feedneck using my HaloB as a torquing device... yes, it is that tight in there, LOL.

Cool. For a second I thought Tom had lost his mind!!! I hadn't seen a post about not taking off the feed neck but I was thinking "why did I buy this if I can't customize it?"Originally posted by cphilip
