    Halo feeding past detents

    Ok, first I blamed it on a detent issue and siwtched to stiffer detents, no help. The problem is my HALO likes to force balls in strings past the detents on my marker, its fine for short bursts. How do you weaken the tension on a HALO?

      Shocker SFT at this point.. though Ive seen the problem on several other markers and heard rumors of turning down Halos?

        Wel, my Reloader B kept feeding past my 04 Viking detents last weekend, so I just stretched the spring, haven't tried it to see if it works, but hopefully it did. I'd imagine that turning the speed down would help, since i'd think that a slower speed = less spring tension.

            Or, find a Victory Board. You can set the speed of the Halo. Takes care of the problem
            X-mag #10. Nuff said.

              That is a problem with a lot of older guns. They werent really made for the tension of Halo. It was only the revvy and egg and those were aggitated loaders (yes the egg to me is an aggitated loader). While the halo b is a trrue forcefed laoder, just like a warp, and qloaders. Even those would push past the detents of an older gun. Stronger detents might help and maybe a longer feed neck.


              Is you sft a power fed design?

                The only SFT Shockers are the new style. He doesn't have the old shoebox.

                    my friend had this problem on his 04 matrix lcd and his empire B, all ya gotta do is first get some new detents cuz its likely you already wore down the ones in there and then turn down the speed setting. He had his loader on ultra fast when he was only hittin like 17 bps so he turned it to medium or so, now he just has problems cuz he blew his board.

                          Hey Jimmy beam
                          Were you the only one to not see that was an opinionated statement.

                          As for my previous post I will admit my mistake. I just read up on the SFT. I was thinking of the old school 4x4, turbo and the like didnt SP have another version. Something like a SVTnot sure but that was what I was thinking of.

                              That won't help.
