| These ball ports double as a feeder locking device. Adjust the ring size to fit and secure your loader size. |

| Review: |
This is an awesome feed neck. It is very cheap, cheaper then the ndz no-rise and is better because it fits any hopper. They come in alot of colors. They make the hopper sit pretty low to the gun and it wil never fall of and it is very easy to take the hopper out. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this because it is a great addition to youre gun. |

| Review: |
I got this feedneck with an Ion I bought off ebay. To put it plain and simple, it's just not any good! My hopper fell out twice in one day while playing. I didn't even hit the ground, I just slid into a bunker. My paintball gun didn't even hit the bunker, it was just the force from my rear end hitting the ground that made it fly off. It is also very hard to close properly. In order for me to get it so my hopper would stop swaying from side to side I had to torque it very hard and it still fell out. Luckily someone at the field sold me a SP Q-Lock they weren't using to me for $10. I would highly recommend it over this one. From the prices on the page it's only $5 more, and that's good seeing how the Q-Lock is years away from this feedneck. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get the SP Q-Lock instead. Lower profile, tighter grip, and easier to lock. |

| Review: |
At first it was a little hard to install because it would not go in all the way ( poopey gun you know how it goes). I had to file down the metal around the feedneck opening to gat it to fit properly.Also during installation the coloring chipped off. (my fault). once i got it on though i've had no problems with it. Although ive had problems with the hopper twisting around but it is no big deal. and another thing is there is nothing to grip on to really tighten it down. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Kind of hard to find and a cam-lock is more preferred but it's not bad. |

| Review: |
I love this feedneck, it iis very strong, and hold the hopper on very nicely. I like the fact that it is a twisting feed neck, its very sleek and stylish, the only problem is that its kind of high. but its not that big of a deal. it also come apart so you can clean it easier. |

| Review: |
I had to get a new adjustable feedneck because my EVO II wouldn't fit on the stock Impy feed tube uless you shaved the EVO neck. I decided to get the twister feed neck. Its nice looking and its adjustable so you don't have to shave any loader necks and you'll always have a nice tight fit. The nice thing is being able to dive into bunker and know that your twister feed neck is going to hold your loader so it won't fall off. I personally really like the twister and if I had to get another adjustable feed enck this would be the one. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want a nice adjustable feed neck get the twister |

| Review: |
Does its job, hold the hopper. I prerfer the ND no-rise for a halo. Good product, high quality, simple and easy to use. Sleeker than a clamping feed that uses a allen wrench to tighten. Well built. Avalible is high and low rise, and many different colors. No much more to say. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want loader options, get this. If you're just going halo, I'd suggest you get the ND. |

the little plastic peice that holds your hopper needs to be broke in. |
|
| Review: |
If you are plannin on gettin an egg or somethin with a larger neck, get this. This is the only feed neck i could find that i could use an egg on that i wouldnt have to alter the plastic neck on it, or have a risk of breaking it when i try to force it on =P. The neck is easy to twist and secures your hopper very securely. Even though gettin off your old feed neck may be a very big pain in the @$$. i reccomend heating it with a blow dryer and then put a paper towel around your old one and pull out the plyers =). |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are plannin on gettin it, just get it. o yea its not fourty, i got it for $25 dollars at my local pball proshop. |

| Strengths: |

|
| Weaknesses: |
none in comparison to the demonic strangler or the stock neck |
|
| Review: |
At first I thought it was going to be loose, but it wasn't. It doesn't chew up the feed neck like the Demonic Strangler and it fits every style of hopper unlike the stock. The price was right and now I am going to type until it lets me post this... There really ins't much to say about feed necks anyways... does it hold the hopper in place?... Does it feed balls correctly?... does it tear your hopper apart?... |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all a good buy, probably the best. Worth the money if ony because it doesn't muff up your hoppers feed neck. |

|
| Review: |
This product is terrible, as soon as I got my impulse I had put one of these on, it wouldnt hold my eggy, a halo, or even a freaking grav-feed. It had bad threads so it kept fallin off with my egg on, and you certainly cant run with it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
just get a clamping feedneck, any clamping feedneck is better. I gave it a two cuz it looked cool |

| Review: |
I bought this, as a aftermarket feedneck for my impulse.
I was disappointed when i discovered that i need to find the right inner ring for my hopper.
I went to 5 local pro shops. None of them carried the rings.
I called smart parts tech, and they had no idea what i was talking about -_-
And i emailed smart parts and i was not replied too.
After about 2 weeks of searching i found one on a website.
Put my hopper in, and went out and played.
My hopper fell of 3 times!
twice when i slid for the 50.
And once when i was just holding my gun, by my side |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is the worst feedneck i have ever used.
Simply put, do not buy this. Ever. |
