Feedneck doesn't stay on

[Night2o1]

I was in the middle of a game when all of a sudden my feed neck came off, along with my hopper.
I tried to screw it back on(it doesn't look stripped) and it'll screw on but when it gets to where it should stop screwing and just stay there..if it gets turned tighter anymore it totally comesl oose and falls right off, I tried teflon tape (several times, heh.). I really don't have any idea what do it, someone help please :)

[lucky7]

so what your saying is when it starts getting tight it just pops of? sounds like it's stripped

How in the heck did you get it to come off the first time? Mine won't come off, period.

[lucky7]

They are very tight the first time you get them off, after that they come off rather easily.

And night, what color gun do you have? I might be able to get you the stock red feed neck from my bko if you need a new one. and don't mind red.

[JustinGB]

use red/blue loctite.

[Night2o1]

My bko is blue and black, red would sure look funky =)
Thanks though :D
I'll just locktite the mofo :D
Hope this works out ok :\!!

[MicroB]

Make a loctite cocktail, use both. It might stick better or something. Not that loctite sticks, what it does is fill in the gaps between the threads so that there is more surface area, therefore more friction, and therefore (again) more force is required to remove the loctited object. Not that anyone cares.

Will the locktite be able to sustand the rigors of twisting an eggy into the feedneck? This is probably what broke it originally..but..like..it really doesn't take much effort to twist it on :)
Maybe I'll sand down the hooper a tiny bit..but I'm deathly afraid of it just falling off :(!!

[Night2o1]

errr
just tried locktite and the feedneck won't stay on at all..it won't work.
I have no idea what to do, do I need a new body&feedneck? I have no idea ><!

[JustinGB]

you ahve to let it dry

[JustBunkered]

Sand down the egg a little so it fits perfectly into your feed, that way you will not have exert pressure on it when trying to get it in. Make sure you dont sand it down to much.

[Night2o1]

JustinGB - I don't think it'll work like that either because the threads won't lock at all now, so it's just kinda sitting on top of the thing.

Heh...the feedneck is on the eggy and I can't get it off, any tips? I've had like 3 people try to get it off, two being pretty big guys, and they all failed. Perhaps I could vice it...or something?

Vice the neck and twist the egg off.

Then, call ICD and see if they can help you out. I know it is $30 for a BKO tray, so I have no idea what a body would cost.

Good Luck.

Is it still under warrenty? Wouldn't it cover that?

If the neck just came off from putting the hopper on and off, I think it would.

The magical wonder known as loctite takes 24 hours to dry. I use it on my pens so no one can steal the ink cartridges. Or take my pens apart.

[Night2o1]

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.
Ohh 24 hours eh:) Ok I have it on there and I'll just leave it until late tomorrow..we'll see what happens then.
Btw, I got the damn thing off the eggy and sanded itto a perfect fit :)
Thanks again!

I got an APlus clamping feedneck (from Tantrumpaintall.com (http://www.tantrumpaintball.com) ) for my B2K. No more hopper problems after that. I feel for you if your body is stripped, though.

[Night2o1]

The feedneck seems to be staying on pretty well after I loctite'd it. I sanded down the eggy's neck but it turns out it spins around now (though not super easily..if I jerk it around it'll still spin though)...I have no luck with paintball guns!! Can anyone give me any suggestions? What are these clamping feednecks I keep hearing about?

Thanks :)

[MicroB]

You can basically adjust the tightness of the feed neck so it can fit your halo or your eggy or what not, so that it's tight but not too tight. I would get a vapor clamping no rise. Yep.

[cockersplatt]

same thing happend with my high rise.

[Night2o1]

Thanks guys:):D!
Errr what do I do when I get a new feedneck(not for a while) now that it's RED loctited on there..man, I suck :D

[MicroB]

Go to your local gym with a strap wrench and hope the big guy is there. :(

[JustinGB]

dip it in boiling water or heat it up w/ a hair dyer
then use those rubber dishwashing gloves, helps out a lot

[Night2o1]

Holy crap, the feedneck fell off after about 300 rounds were shot through my eggy2.
I didn't hit it or anything, and I had let it dry for TWO DAYS.
What are some recommended aftermarket feednecks for BKOs? Preferably CLAMPING:) And where can I get em? (if you know off the top of your head, I don't expect you to look it up for me :)).
Thanks!
