    Posted: 05 August 2006 at 1:14pm
well yesterday a friend and i went to our local paintball store...i brought 120 bucks with me just in case of things. I origanlly went there to have the guy check out my ion and tell me how to change the rate of fire and how to change the mode your on. He wasnt much help, but he did set my rate of fire. Im still sort of confused on how to change the mode though.
    anyway, I ended up buying a Halo B.





ya i know you have all seen a Halo B before. But i got it and i wanted to well show you guys i guess............anyway question. Why wont it fit in my stock ion feedneck? I want to use this gun today cause im going paintballing, but it just wont fit. How can i make it fit? and it also wont fit in my custom pros feedneck either....

Halo feednecks are really large.

You have two options.

1) (best way to do it) Look inside the feedneck on your ION. Alot of them have two Orings inside, pull those out, now it should work fine.

2) If you've already done that before, and it still won't fit, take some sand paper and work evenly around the feedneck of the halo.

3)

4) Profit

Did you sand the feedneck down? I've never seen an instance where that didn't work.

Yea, idk how that wouldn't work. Maybe you just dont wanna sand on your new baby? Cause it can't really be that much larger.

Just get your new feed neck as soon as possible and you won't have to worry about sanding it.

Ok, I don't see how it won't fit in the custom pro's feedneck. Mine fits perfect. Just make sure that on the custom pro that the bolt is screwed out far enough to let the Halo slide in. I love my CCM feedneck on my Ion so I would highly suggest that.

Just sand it, really not hard at all, and it will have an awesome tight fit.
