| Review: |
This Little expensive piece for a gun is a ver nice upgrade, looks great, and fits my Halo perfect.
It is expensive but it IS a piece I need to fit my hopper.
Also with the no-holes type, it doesnt quite fit right, and due the way it's made it's hard to completely screw it in tight, and when I put my Halo on after awhile it starts to get loose, not the hopper to the feed neck, but the feed neck to the gun gets loose. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great piece, expensive, not quite the best. |

| Review: |
I used to have the Lapco Clamping feedneck, the old style that looked sweet, not the new cheap looking one. I think you can still buy it for $25.00 on Zephyr. It's a lot more adjustable, meaning you don't need tape or tools to make your hopper fit, or take it off. And I would recomend that by far over this one. It sticks up a little higher, but It works a lot better.
My two big gripes about this feedneck are
One: It's too big for anything accept a Halo-B I have an Evolution II and I had to wrap the feedneck twice with electrical tape to get the neck wide enough for this feedneck to clamp on to. Wich means that I can't get it out with out an allen wrench.
Two: Why is this little piece of Aluminum $45.00??? I wanted the low rise, but now I wish I would have just bought another Lapco.
Also, they could have made the cam on the lever a little bigger, It barley releases the hopper at all, and after having to tape it, there is no way you can get your hopper out just by fliping it open.
But I must stress that all of my problems except the price would be non-existant if I was using a Halo-B, but that 's the only hopper that will work properly with this feedneck, and that is not what they claim in thier advertizing. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you have, or plan on buying a Halo-B this is probably the best feedneck to get. But if you have anything else, hopper wise. I would sugest you look into the Lapco. |

| Review: |
The stock feedneck on my Spyder was this long, clear, plastic piece that looked like it would break if you touched it. I was taking hopper shots all the time. This feedneck dropped my hopper down considerably and was simple to install. My Spyder needed the version where the tabs sit flush to the surface of the gun. After I initially installed it, it was too loose and my hopper would wobble around (the tabs where too thin and the screws went flush to the gun, but not to the feedneck). I took the feedneck off, took some electrical tape and layed it on the bottom of the tabs (about 3 layers did the trick) and then reattached. Fits nice and snug now.
The Halo Reloader B neck needs to be sanded down to fit most feednecks ... not with this guy. I simply twist the Halo down into this feedneck and I get a snug fit. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Bit pricey and I didn't like that I had to use electrical tape to get it to fit. Also, I couldn't find straight black and ended up with this electric blue feedneck. But, I am happy I bought it. |

Leaves hopper low clamps in so that it will not fall out, looks good |

|
| Review: |
Overall its a huge improvement from hte stock feedneck, this brings the hopper lower, with the adapter the bottom of the hopper was 3 inches above the gun . It would be nice if it clamped my revy tripod in better but rapping a little tape around the neck of the hopper fixs it easily |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great feedneck for a cheap enough price |
