Exactly, what is the point of having to use another allen wrench on the gun if you don't have to.

I understand defending your product, but how about being honest?

The A+ design, and I suspect the RF design (same thing pretty much) clamp a the top only as well. The tapered thread on the main part of the feed neck will tighten at the top only. This is quite effective to clamp onto the hopper, and is much bette than a simple cup (like the normal ULE neck).

Think about it this way, the bottom of the tapered thread is slotted to a point, this is the flex point in the design. The bottom does not get any smaller. Instead each of the vertical fingers with tapered thread flex twords the inside of the next, then they meet the hopper, securing it.

The CCM design works in a similar way, but uses a collar around the top to accomplish the same thing.

The mating I'm talking about is the bottom of the hopper to the inside of the feedneck.

Here, I think a drawing will help. The Blue line is the seal, the Red is not.

i want a ccm simply because its so simple looking. all these clamping ones, rogues, the a+, they're fat. and i'm pickyy

Hexis, the slashed part of your diagram shouldn't be angled out like that. The part that the feed neck rests on is straight. The ring/sleeve is angled not the interior. Therefore the empty area where you have the red line doesn't exsist. I think it all comes down to personal preference, which one do you think looks best!! Oh and I think this thread wins the "most posted in" award for the day!!

That space is exaggerated in the drawing. It does exist, otherwise there would be no clamping action to the clamping feed necks.

I'm a fan of CP's Quicklock feedneck. They make collars specific to your loader. This works VERY well for me .. its nice to be able to pop your loader in and have it just snap into place without any fuss. The folowing link has a couple of pics on my timi.

Yes they are collared. Like I said tehy make different sized collars depending on the size of your feedneck. It takes a bit to get the colar setup .. but you only need to do that when you first get it and after that just snap it in. :)

Yeah for 8 bux a mo I can't whine too much about phpwebhosting. I actualy have a web box setup localy... I have just been too lazy to xfer my data over

I use arteryplanet.net for the same price (now), but get 800 meg of space, 16 gig of transfer and 2 extra "addon" domains, so I run 3 domains off one hosting fee, for 8 dollars a month

I never called you a liar. And now I see you simply don't understand how your product works.

The taper on the top of your threading is the part that constrits on the neck of the hopper. That taper exists only at the top. The collar can't effect the neck below the taper. Nevermind that the bottom is a solid part, and no ammount of normal constriction will deform that metal with out doing permanent damage.

To me its worth using another tool, just because it works better, and to me is still easier. Who cares about paint in your feed? Theres a solid 4 seconds to clean...

[logamus]

rogue, you might want to use a pic of the raw neck. you cant really see the slots on the black ones.

[MarkM]

While you were doing that I was busy drawing the attached pic showing exactly the same thing but drawn from the A+ feedneck I have in my hand.

[Hexis]

What exactly do you think happens when you thread the collar on there and "clamp" down on the Hopper neck?

The top constricts, the bottom does not. This creates the taper you are so insistant on stating does not exist.

[jayloo]

Nice debate...anyway I only have an A+ feed neck and it works great for a revie, halo, and egg...no probs. I know this because I have used these setups.

That is all, please continue.
