Theres not too many ways around this, if you use one that isnt adjustable the halo weighs so much it will just fall forward or backward and then just fall off, but if you take electrical tape and do the same it will eventually do the same. All you can do is get an Egg or a ULE
Yay! I Only broke 3 feedneck elbows today!!

you guys give up to easily, I'll mill my own elbow and use set screws if I have to (dont want a ule) However, I will try a few more types before I resort to that. The majority of the elbows that I have broken recently were made of some type of acryllic anyway and after looking at them I think they were designed to break after a few uses. making elbows that don't break isn't a very profitable business, you can only sell to a customer once.

The only elbow I ever used was an ACI. That thing lasted for years. Finally broke when my air hose was shot off and smacked into it. After that I started using a warp and had no need for them anymore.
As for the people that are saying to get an egg. I would be pointless; cause the weight of the egg full is pretty much the same as a full halo.Comment

This sounds kind of crazy but get a 90* warp adapter, the one that looks like a powerfeed and slip it on your body then run an elbow off of that. It will make your setup alot taller but you will have all the weight centered over the gun evenly and will not break. OF COURSE IT WILL LOOK WEIRD but it does work. If you bought an atomic elbow you wont have problems. You could also look around for a vert feed minimag body.Comment

ive had my VLbow for a really long time, around 3 years i think, i stopped using it about a week ago cause i got a vertical feed body. it is a way cool elbow.Comment

you guys keep sayin to get an egg, but you're forgetting the fact that when they're both loaded up with paint the weight of a halo with 6 AA batteries in it and full paint is the same as an egg with the two 9v's and full paint (only cuz the egg holds more paint than the halo)- 68 classic, customizing in the works

Just go down to the hardware store and in the plumbing section pick up a copper elbow. They're like 50 cents. Make sure your halo fits in and that it slides over the body of your mag. Works well and is shiny. I used one on my warp setup for awhile.Comment

Hey, you get what you pay for! An elbow that never breaks is way better than one with a lifetime warranty, because if it breaks while you're playingOriginally posted by RRfirebladeYeah.....and it's only like $60+SH
, the warranty don't mean squat!

Atomic Elbow @ $2.50/$60=A lifetime of elbows for at least two dozen people. And I've yet to see one broken so far.
But Whatever.

cause thoes are for a warp, its 7/8" to 7/8"
feedneck elbows are 7/8" to 1.040" (eg: mag) or 1" to 1.040" (eg: talon)Proud Member Of The AO Cesspool Since 08-24-2002Comment
