| Review: |
All i can say is it works well once you do some modification to it so it wont move any more. It will not break like the plastic ones that you get with the gun and its not as tall as it but still taller than some. kinda of expensive for what you get which is a tall neck that needs to be modded to work correctly.
I have been sent some messages about how i stopped the wobbly feed neck problem this is what i did. I took it to the shop and they gave me orings that can fit the screws for the feed neck. i put the orings on the screws and screwed it in. That's all it takes to stop that problem but i cannot guarantee it will. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I kinda regret getting this item but it will do the job for what i use it for so before you buy this neck look around you will probably find a better one for cheaper or same price. |

| Review: |
This thing sucks!
I paid nearly $40 for this thing and it doesn't even hold onto my Halo TSA. Even after sanding I can twist my loader around and around. The color finished is easily scratched. The overview says you can twist this thing to a death grip with your fingers. BULL! And this thing definitely isn't low profile. It's just as tall as the crappy plastic one that came with my gun. The only good thing about it is that it is metal. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This thing is not worth the $37 price tag they put on it. If you shop around you can find something much better with a cam lock or twist lock and save $10-$15. |

| Review: |
This product, I was not surprised to find out it was from Kingman lets just say. Kingman is great for entry level gear, and thats what this is. It looks good, it looks flashy, but its really not all the great in my opinion. The biggest flaw is the bolt to tighten it. It takes a while, and its never as secure as a clamp. If you have a Halo B in the clamp, you have to nearly all the way to get the Halo off, and this leads to it falling out and you losing it...which has already happened to me after one use. Its difficult to toil with the bolt, and I really dont care for that at all. The pros are the it does what its supposed to, it hold decently, looks decent, and wasnt overly that expensive. For lower end players it works well. But for tournaments when you need to fix hoppers, change out batteries, and quickly unclamp and reclamp the feedneck this is really a pain. For what its worth though its decent. If you have the extra money get one with a clamp. Enough said. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I give it a 7 because its looks alright and does what its supposed to. It exceeds no expectations but definetly can meet them. |

|
| Review: |
Well it's a pretty nice feedneck overall, but I wouldn't buy it again. First of all, you can't tighten it well at all with your bare hands, even though the large screw is meant for it. So you end up with a wobbly hopper or you get out an alan key to tighten it.
Second, the neck itself is difficult to attach - the wide top end of the neck makes it hard to get at the screws to screw it into the receiver - you end up screwing at an angle and weakening the screw head.
_Doesn't come with screws.
The fat part screws off, for no apparent reason.
Looks sexy though. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy something with a clamp or something. Avoid this one. |

| Review: |
The guy at my local paintball store recommended that I'd get a feeder. More constant feed and the hopper sits lower. Blah blah blah, I got home and put the bad boy on my gun, and test shot a few times.. so far so good. I later noticed that the best possible feature about the feeder was that paintballs barley ever chop. My friends electronic hopper did not fit well with the clamp. The hopper felt like it was going to fall off the neck. Otherwise my gravity hopper works well with the feed neck. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you're looking for a feeder that'll chop less balls then this is one of your options. Make sure to test fit your hopper onto the clamping neck first. |

| Review: |
When i first got it, it had a nice finish coat and was a nice color. It seemed durable enough and when i put it on my gun it was a great height. My halo fit perfectly on it and did not seem to want to come. Then when i started to move around it started to wobble. I looked closely at the bottom of the neck that was in my gun and it did not go down far enough. Now when i moved it side to side it would rock back and forth. It does not affect the capability, but it does get very annoying. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great feed neck , but is a little expensive. If you have an old spyder and want to get a neck, this would be a great one to get. If you have a low budget try to find a different one or suck it up and buy it. |

| Review: |
I didnt mind this neck, it was better than the plain Check It Neck, but once I got tired of using channel locks to un-do the screw, I bought myself a New Designz locking feed neck from Action Village for like $30, WELL WORTH IT, it locks your hoper into place, NO SLACK, very low rise as well.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Save yourself couple more dollars, buy a locking neck, its alright if your friend lets you use it for a day, but if your using it to play all the time, you'll fed up with the screw down. |

| Review: |
Strengths:
height
clamp roatates
hand tighten (no tools needed)
the ST feedneck works great on my marker. its recessed with ears so i just replaced my stock feedneck, fits perfectly! no more adapter and less height for the hopper! also very stong clamp, i can tighten it with my fingers and hold my marker from my hopper! it has grooves on the rotating clamp which works well with my hopper since it has grooves on it also.
Weakness:
35 bucks not cheap
lack of colors (my marker is dark blue the and my feedneck is shiny blue, but hey what can you do)
Field Test: this thing suks! i'm in the game... i'm snap shooting. i'm running to bunker and my damn hopper falls off! needless to say i was shot all due to my feedneck crapping out on me. the stupid feedneck doesnt work! you must constantly retighten and retighten this thing every minute. i just took it off and but the stock one on. dont get this thing, i wont even call it a feedneck! |
|
| Conclusion: |
There are better ones! dont get this. cant hold for more than i minute. |
