ok so i have discovered that when i put my halo b in to my feedneck the rings go down further resulting in them sticking out...im thinking that maybe this is why my gun is not shooting, because the rings are stopping the balls idk if this is true its just a theory what do you guys think, should i sand the hopper down?

sanding the hopper down isnt nesassary. get the smallest o- rings and put em in the feed neck. it might still be hard to get in but once its in there its not comin out unless its on purpose. and also dont loosen the feedneck all the waywhen ur puttin it in because then the o- rings r just sitting there so tighten it about half way and then put it in.

you have to be very careful when you install the hopper. It doesn't matter what type of hopper you have, if you aren't careful, when you insert the hopper the orings will roll around and block the passage of paint into the marker.

I put my hopper in with a rotating motion so that the orings don't roll.

I always put everything on the hopper throat that I can, then gently push it all into the feedneck and rotate just a tudge as I push it in.

Then you almost need a three handed person to hold the gun while you rotate the twist feed.

I find it works best if :
1. install the hopper before you install the air tank.
2. invert the gun with the hopper upside down in your lap so that you can use your spare hand to push down on the marker and as a result, this pushes the hopper into the feedneck.
did i say you need three hands?
