A+ Paintball will be making a ULE Body clamping feed neck

[Animal Mother]

This thread: http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=94274 is pretty much dead so I thought I'd make a thread just for this. Not many companies make stuff just for mags...

The problem with clamping feed necks is they're a bit more bulky, and on an Angel it has to be tall enough to clear the breech door. So that pretty much stomps out any chance of a no rise feed neck with Angel threads. Well A+ will be making no-rise clamping feed necks just for our ULE bodies!

A+ is expanding their shop right now, I am told the necks are made but not anodized, so around 8/18 they expect to be anodizing again. Also, they do the anodizing for Airgun Designs, so theses necks should match the anno on our ULE bodies!

Here is a quote from A+:

Hey guy's I just want to let you know that we will have NO RISE CLAMP FEEDS for your ULE bodies in 3 weeks. I made some the day after IAO and we are testing them now on a few ULE's. We are rebuilding our shop (doubling the size) and as soon as we are up and running we will be ano-ing them in any colors that you want.
Just to clear up one mis-quote. We do not do all of AGD's anodizing (I wish) We do about half of all the X-Mags and some ULE's.

Why do you need a clamping feed neck? I like a lot of people found out that when you use a Halo this can happen:


Quite a few have had this happen.. also I wasn't too thrilled that Odyssey had my Halo for 10 days and when it came back to me it looked like it was dragged across the sidewalk.

Also having the shortest feedneck improves feeding with the Halo as Tom pointed out so a no-rise should work a lot better than a low-rise.

Yep, I have one already with pics in another thread. I managed to get the last one they had on hand of the test batch for IAO when I called.

Oooh, I thought that was the Low rise and this new one would be a "no-rise".

Anyways... can't wait to get mine :)

am I the only person thats thought this thru? impulses have angel feed necks correct? or am I wrong here. if so, the ULE body also takes angel feed necks. then the twister feed necks for the impulses made by smart parts should fit, no need for someone to machine or special make twister necks for the ULE mag body.

imps dont use angel feed necks.

[jayel579]

oh ok, my mistake, i was never completly sure of that. thank you for setting me straight.

No they don't, but said they will in the future. I wanted one and was e-mailing them for a few days, but as of now all they have is a Low rise feed neck in Angel threads and not a no rise. I wanted one really bad.. but all they had were low rises.

But now that I have seen the A+ one I think I like it better except for the swrill milling.. but I can live with it.

odd... cause a guy at my feild sells gloss black CCM no-rises in all feedneck threads for $40

i'd get one for my micro-e but the feedneck is pressed in... oh well

[Animal Mother]

No rises for all other guns, just not the Angel. Angels have that breech door that swings open, with a no rise the door will hit the feedneck and not allow it to open.

With a ULE body that has Angel threads we don't need to worry about that, but... there is not a huge demand for it. I really wanted one too, but A+ seems to be the only one making no-rise feednecks just for our ULE bodies. CCM was really nice in answering all my questions, we were e-mailing eachother for a few days.

well apparently the guy at my field sells no-rises for the angel in the chippley necks... maybe an older model... i dunno, but i know for sure that he has two of them on his angels

While I think it is awesome that someone is producing something just for the 'mag (and will support the decision by making a purchase) I would like to point out that the stock ULE neck is darn near no-rise - and my CMP clapping is just about the same height. I'd guess (haven't measured for sure) that the CMP is only 3/16th" (1/4" max) taller then the stock, brazed no-rise. If I remember correctly that stock ULE is almost the exact same height as the no-rise.

Not trying to steal the guys thunder - in fact I remember thinking that "there's a little bit of room for improvement" when I bought the CMP - I just wanted people to know that they had options in a pinch. I'm still interested and will for certain purchase the new "no-rise."

I really wanted that no rise feedneck from chipley, if you look at it, it really does not rise at all, it looks shorter than the stock ULE neck. But I like the fact that you don't need tools on the A+ neck and it was just for the ULE body.

Like someone said before.. it's rare that companies make mag only upgrades.

God... if they only made decent wrap around rubber grips that looked like they belonged on a paintball gun and not a ivory chromed out colt .45...

[SIGSays]

those mag only upgrades above

and damn it i just bought a damn feedneck...

[Animal Mother]

....none of which fit on my ULE e-mag.
