    Yeah, I sanded mine to fit somewhat loosely in my vert breech and didn't think about how i was buying a warp soon, so no my Halo doesn't fit in my warp.

    BTW, anyone know a quick fix for that?

      coffey, do you mean your Halo now is too loose for the warp? In any case, if its too loose, here is what you do:

      make paper 'shims' for the neck of your halo.

      Break the Halo halves apart. Cut a piece of paper however tall the neck of the hopper fits into the feed neck of the X-mag ( I would estimate about 7/8") and make it about 2 inches long. Now slide it between the inside of the outer shell, and the blue feed ramp tube inside the halo. Make sure it doesn't crumple when you put the other shell half on. Now, you have a paper spacer in between your halo shells and the blue feed tube inside it...and believe me, it works quite well. If its not tight enough, double up on it.

        or you can just cut a small piece of sand paper and glue it to the inside of the warp. That way when you put you halo in it, you have a piece of sand paper acting as a shim between the warp and outside of the halo neck

        thats what i did and it seems to work real well.

          CoFFeY[NiTrO] Got it. The barrel had to be screwed as tight as possible.

          hehehe!! Always something simple!! I often do really stupid things like "oh c r a p my gun doesn't fire" and i start taking it apart and then I realise my air was off.

            No no no... Dont use sand paper, or paper shims. The sand paper will further sand your Halo, and the shims are a pain to hang onto. Use JB Weld. Its the stuff that comes in two parts (black & gray goo) and you mix them together. Mix the two together, and smear a thin amount around the neck of the Halo.(1/2 high or so) Don't cover the seams of the neck.

            Now let that dry, and then resand the JB Weld to fit what ever its going in. That stuff is tough as nails, and sticks well to the Halo neck. Plus you can always repeat the process. If you sand it smoothly enough, you can get a real clean finish too.

                    Electrical tape melts, slides, and gums up your gear. Thats bad.

                      I am having similar problems with mine which I got 2 weeks ago.. My marker with the warp breach chops paint like crazy. There is no burs on the breach. The detent is screwed all the way in tight.

                      Marker with vertical breach shoots fine, no probs.

                      Only way to get my marker to work decent is to turn SPS to about 13 with ACE on 00. ACE 01/02 doesn't even work half the time and I am using solid color paint. So I leave it on 00

                        Yeah i'm tired of messing with the warp breech. I just use the center feed and haven't had a prob since. that was 15,000 shots and 0 breaks ago.

                          yes because electrical tape melts between a hopper and warp, where are you playing hades?

                            When you set up an X-Mag to use the ACE and Warp, you need to adjust the eye different from how you'd adjust the eye for a vertical feed setup.

                            With the breech off, the gun on, air off and safety on, take a ball and guide it towards the eye as if it was feeding in from a warp breech. Adjust the pot accordingly.

                                ive had many many experiences with electrical tape. i can personally assure you that if u put it on right and tight and then dont let any edges of it hang out, it will be more than fine for the day. it will give the hopper a snug fit as well. at the end of the day, u just find the edge and take it off. it also makes for easy cleaning if somebody somehow hit u in the feedneck (has happened b4, as well a the side of the barrel and idk how this one happened but my...finger. i was holding my hand up and called out after i was hit, and then i see one paintball looking like someone lobbed it out of the bunker and bam right straight to one of my fingers. it felt like a direct hit too.
