This is a brand new item from the red hot Critical Paintball line. This awesome feedneck is currently only available in Ion/Impulse threads and blows any current feedneck out of the water. It has the very popular clamp style lock and lever, which makes it very easy to remove and replace hoppers. It is also knurled on the inside of the feedneck for a better grip on the hopper.
- Positive Lock Cam Lever (you can feel when it is locked and it does not open by itself)
- Very Lightweight - 30% lighter than the competition
- Internally Knurled for a better grip on your hopper |

| Review: |
I had somehow managed to strip out the threads on the brass insert for my Mini's stock feedneck lever, so after looking at several replacements, ordered this one from Critical.
The threads fit nicely with no problem, and I secured it with some blue Loctite. The neck fits well and clamps very securely onto my Magna Drive, Torque, and Halo loaders. The lever snaps into locked position and stays secure. The neck is skeletonized, so I had some fear that it may be somewhat fragile, but that was unfounded. After being used at some aggressive play over the course of 9 full days so far by myself, my son, and my GF's younger sister, including sliding into bunkers, being dropped, fallen on, and other normal abuse, it came through everything in one piece, still clamping the loader securely. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I would have to give the Critical feedneck a solid 10 for the above reasons, not to mention that it is arguably the best looking feedneck available at this time. |
