how did you get the hopper to fit the ion?

i just want to know...I had to sand mine donw and take 2 O-rings out of the stock neck

Well, if you push hard enough, it should fit in. My Ion came with the two top o-rings missing. So it leaves a beatiful little mark on my Halo

all you gotta do is buy a new feedneck...i wouldnt ever sand down my hopper neck...id just buy a new feedneck...its easier & looks better

Edit: if your too cheap to buy a new feedneck, then just put a little gun oil on the o-rings...

I have a Q-Lock, but can't get the stock feed off. Really hard.

take the gun apart and just heat up the feedneck around the threads with a hairdryer...or put the feedneck in a vice if you dont care about messing it up...

CCM cures all

Literaly JUST got it off, had to use a belt wrench. I found one at work

**DAVE** · July 21st, 02:23 PM

Strap wrenches work wonders in gettting feednecks off.

Just wet the o-rings with water and twist the halo in. It works for me.

don't do that unless you want your feedneck to come off while trying to take the halo off..

Clamping feednecks work wonders......

**bobide** · July 22nd, 09:53 PM

I'm really curious as to why oddesy doesn't just toss in a piece of paper saying "sand the feedneck dumbass, then it'll fit" That would save us so much explaining.

**Kdrx1** · July 22nd, 11:29 PM

Q-Lock + sawing the feedneck lower = sex.

**pbpro115** · July 22nd, 11:36 PM

It scratched up my Halo pretty bad. You should just do ^that^ than put the o-rings back in becuase the feed neck is now paper thin (over-reacting)...

Why do you care if your feedneck on your Halo is scratched? It's not like it changes the performance or anything. And you dont see it when the Halo is on your gun. My feedneck is scratched like crazy, thats just from twisting it around in my q-lock though. Do I care? Nope, I never see the scratches so why should it bother me?

But yea, if you don't want to buy a nice feedneck (you will want to in time...believe me) just take out one of the o-rings in the stock feedneck. So what your Halo feedneck gets a little scratched, no big deal.

Just sayin.

The Q-Lock works like a charm
