I wouldnt recommend the A + or roguestyle feeds, they really arent that great unless you want your hoppe to spin around, or you want to put your hopper in feedneck all goofy.

I'm trying to figure out what you mean. I've got a RogueClamp and my hopper neither spins nor looks goofy. Only problem I did have with spinning was before I actually loc tited the feedneck on.

I'm using two of the A+ no-rise with Halos. No sanding needed. It doesn't spin either. I don't know what thats referring to. Use a hair of loc-tite if your that concerned. Hand tightened mine have never moved during a game. The HALO is in there tight, it might be looser for any sanded hopper or Non-Halo, never tried. I'm sure my Rev would need a bit of tape to get it tight.

what I mean is that you cant just stick your hopper in there and clamp it down like chipleys. You have to adjust the collar BEFORE your put it on. If you dont you cant get it tight. Its a goofy system, that chipley perfected.

edit: When I said spin, I meant your hopper. If you try and tighten it with the hopper on the feed already, it will still be so loose it will spin. So you cant do that. You have to put it on AFTER you adjust the collar, which just seems goofy when you can just stick it in and tighten a band with an allen wrench (chipley, checkit)

I have the A+ feedneck on my Angel and I didn't need to sand either my Halo or the Egg...all you have to do is slightly bend the screw part apart for the first time of using as it can be a little too small to begin with.. prise open every other section and I do mean slightly and when the neck is screwed down it is totally solid.

That's new to me. I never once had to adjust Rogue's. All you do is loosen the clamp put the hopper in and tighten it down. No messing around with necessary. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe others aren't.
EDIT: I've never had any of my hoppers spin. The whole neck spun only cause it wasn't tight enough but I fixed that part.

I run into the same problem squid's talking about with my timmys and cocker, but then all my necks are smaller than a stock halo. The best way is to adjust the neck before putting the hopper on.

Ya, I guess roaddawg just isnt catching what im saying. Its a litter harder to explain without having it here to show you.

EDIT: Gah! thats what I meant! You HAVE to adjust the collor before you put it on with A+ and rogues, with chipleys and check its you dont. However, I DID like my A+, I just think they are not as good of a design is all....

I have an A+ neck, and it's nice and all, but I'm ordering a CCM neck soon. It's quite difficult to get a nice tight lock on the A+ design because of the design.

I think the CCM design is a better setup.

[RoadDawg]

I'm guessing that your meaning you have to pull the clamping parts out a bit to make them fit correct? If so the only thing similar to this is the fact I played with a unsanded TSA and ended up having to play unclamped but it was still heck of tight. Rogue's clamp neck is a inbetween of the halo and Revvy. Anyways. It would be easier with graphics but I think I get what your saying. I must've been lucky cause I haven't had to adjust the neck besides a little sanding which wasn't much anyway.

FBM makes a choke chain that is sick .. i had one on my impulse and never had to sand my halo to make it fit ... check out their site ... www.fireballmountain.com

When you get the feedneck it threads together fine as the thread is a nice wide one but if you try to put your unsanded loader into it it won't fit...so as there is some tolarence with the nice wide threads you adjust (bend) the threaded section outwards to make it bigger the hopper will then fit and the slack is then taken up when you lock the collar down and will stay at the correct size to fit your loader...I personally have not had any problem with getting the A+ lock down tight...wet gloves or sweaty hands and yes you will find it difficult but then I prefer the look of the A+ as although easier (but need a tool) the Chipley has gaps that paint can get into if hit in the feedneck...the A+ if you look at what you are doing you can get the feed neck of the loader totally to the bottom to keep the loader as low as possible. The choice is down to you.

[wyn1370]

but the gaps in the chipley will be filled by the hopper neck and once it's tightened down the paint won't go any farther than the hopper neck

[Hexis]

All of the clamping designs have slots cut into the part that mates with the Hopper, otherwise they wouldn't clamp. In all of the designs the hopper neck should form a pretty good seal at the botom of the open part of the neck. Paint should not enter the feed neck in any correctly setup clamping feed neck.

[MarkM]

I understand about the slots but even with the slots closing due to the clamping action if you don't make sure the feed neck is all the way down there will be a gap on all of the clamping necks that clamp at the top like the chipleys...Rogue and A+ are covered by the collar, just because some people realise that you "can" get the feed tube all the way down doesn't mean that everyone does it...think how many people ask questions on here that to be honest are common sense.
My choice of an A+ feedneck was not because of this possible problem it was supply as I couldn't find a Chipley at the World Cup in the colour I wanted. it was only after using it I noticed that the gaps "could" be a problem with the other versions.
