Review:
I absolutely hated my stock ion feedneck. It was rediculously hard to get any hopper in. It held the hopper tightly but broke o-rings almost every time i took it out. So a guy who works at my local field and also plays for the New York Dogs recommended a Q-Lock. I love it, so easy to take hopper off/put in. I would reccomend using a bandsaw to cut your hopper and make it lower down. I have used an Egg2 in it, a halo B, and a reloader B. It holds them all great and is easy to use. I like the latch on it a lot. Much easier than feednecks that require alan wrenches (ccm.)
Conclusion:
I would reccomend this feedneck to anyone. If your looking for a feedneck that very easy to use, yet grasps any hopper tightly. This is for you.

Strengths:
Looks
Works like it should
No tools!
Weaknesses:
Too tight of fit even when loosened (see review)
Review:
Well, for starters, it's the best neck I've ever used. It looks good, works great, and no tools required(one of the few necks like that). I got one on my ton ton shocker and love it. The only thing that was not to my liking was that I had to sand my halo's neck down just a little so it could slide in easier...now it would fit in there with the clamp all the way loose, but you had to put some force to get it in there.
Conclusion:
It's the best neck I've ever used...Smart Parts did it again. It's way more than worth it...go buy one!
Very low, Nice colors, very tight grip, easy release
Weaknesses:
It is so low that the hopper doesn't go in all the way.
Review:
Well, I had to get this because my stock feedneck could not hold anything and turned my hopper into a blimp on the field. Now my hopper it about twice as low. The feedneck of the hopper is basically on the gun. The locking mechanism is the same as most bicycles. It tightens VERY easily and VERY tightly. It also releases VERY easily. I have never seen a better feedneck. The hopper does not go in all the way, but that is O.K. because the hopper is so tightly clamped.

Review:
I got my gun and i found my halo b loader dosnt fit on my smart parts ion. I got this q lock thinking it would b great and it was until a little rouph play loosened the treades and the breeach in my gun and the treads on my q lock both striped. For a price of 35-40 dollars i dont think its worth it. thanks to this q lock i have to buy a new breech and q lock. And it wont be the same. i am disaponted in this product and i dont recomend any one to buy it.
Some good things about it though are that it realy holds the hopper in there
Looks good
Conclusion:
Over all i dont think any one should buy this q lock. a better one is a redz q lock. my brother has and and it works perfect

Review:
i bought this product because i read on here that it can fit any hopper and heard how the halo b had problem with the ions stock feedneck so i bought this has a quick fix. Now i dont know if i got a defective one but my halo b would not fit on it on the account the halos feedneck was so big i was torked at that becuase it says fits any hopper especially the halo b. I fixed that problem by taking 5 minutes and sanding it down now heres the kicker i sanded it down almost to the blue plastic thing and i barely fits without the lever on the feedneck. the pros of this feedneck are it looks cool and it brings the profile of your hopper way down.
Conclusion:
Again doesnt fit any hopper out of the box i had to sand mine but nice design and low rise. for the inconvince i am givin it a 7

Strengths:
Its not made of cheep plastic
Weaknesses:
Its not big enough for the Empier loaders
Review:
This feed neck was horrible, I got it and put my B2 in it. It wasn't even close enough for the loaders neck to fit in. Finally when i got it in, i screwed it onto my gun and it never stopped turning so it was loose as can be. So it just spun around every time you tilted the gun. Even When i lock tightened it it still didn't stay in place, this neck is horrible If you have a Reloader B Or the B2 do not get this.
Conclusion:
If you are using a Empire do not get this get the NDZ Pro Lock its perfect for the Empires.

Review:
I have one on my shocker and i hate it.... I have stripped the thread on it and i am on my second. The cheap aluminium is a shame to SP and my friends Ion no longer has a working breach because of his q-lock.
expensive and nasty.
You can get much better Feednecks for a lot cheaper.
