Yes, It is hard to put it in and than harder to get it out(almost impossible). I thought it didn't require shaving! Anyone else have this issue?

ummm, do you have the nut on the feedneck backed out and not tightened down? cause I have never heard of this before.

yes, the nut isnt even in! But I figured a way to easily shave it (put feed neck on hopper..put vise grip around feedneck...and start spinnin..does no cosmetic damage to feedneck on inside and out, makes perfect shave on hopper) That is if you have this problem.

The three empire shells I tried to fit in the check-it neck required extensive shaving before they'd fit. So you're certainly not the only person experiencing issues

Yes, and if you are still in the process of shaving to fit...I recommend trying my method....works excellent!

I use bluwe for my feedneck and if I have any issues I tighten it about 1/4 turn more. I have never had one come loose when I did not want it to come loose.

Yea, I just put it on. The kind I used is LOCTITE Titen for Bolts, and the writing is Blue. Is that what you guys have? Also I have my angel hanging upside down so the glue wouldn't run onto my eyes on accident. Just in case, but theres not even enough on there to run anyways. But is that the kind of glue you guys have?

I had to sand my most recent Halo down for my G7, to fit the stock and the Checkit neck. Although my 2 previous halos, both of which I have used on my 05 Speed, required no shaving down at all and fit every neck including the G7 stock and my Checkit. I dont think the mold process is quite accurate for the bodys of the Halos.

Hearing that, you could definitly be right
