One more thing, how do you unwinde the Q-loader? Let's say that there a gap's between the paintball's how do you unwinde it to get the gaps out?

Did you not read my earlier post? Use the crank handle.

True, but there's no EASY, SIMPLE, and SLOW way to unwind it.

You have to kind of feather it when you take the cap off with the crank socket on it.

Also its not something you'd want to do at the field, because if you accidentally let the cap out too far, that spring will go crazy and get EVERYWHERE. It'd be nice if you could just push in a button and crank backwards to slowly let them out, instead of having to shimmy up the cap, then put the crank socket on then sorta feather it out.

Anyways, I'm with you about having more secure detents. My siloh's detent fell out at the field, and I forgot to bring the spares, it was a total pain trying to feed the pods without that detent. Possible, but you almost definitely need two people then.

[Avery]

No, no. Don't undo the cap on your pod.
1) Take crank handle out of loader socket.
2) Push crank handle into assembled pod.
3) Unwind. (careful, it will spin)

check out my 90 degree angel threaded qloader feedtube

[Avery]

Nice. Exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, only it looks a little long in front and back. Couldn't it be shorter? Can you post more pics?

Nice work!

[fastingrage]

ill post more when its back from my machinist, i had a problem with the threads not being long enough so i sent him the body as well this time. it could be shorter but you wouldnt be able to get the knob out, its there to angle the entry into the feed tube because 90 degrees is too abrupt of a change, if you took that out youd misfeed a lot.
in the front its no longer than a normal feetube collar

[Avery]

Hmm, I'll have to wait for those extra images before I can picture it in my head.

Meanwhile, does a regular, Angel threaded feedneck screw into a right angle adaptor which then screws into the marker? Or is it one solid piece that replaces the original feedneck altogether?

[fastingrage]

no the threads on the adapter are keyed into the body of the adapter, not threaded, this way he made it so that on my gun, when all the way screwed in it faces straight forward

you know, you dont have to buy those 90 degree things, just get the warp feed adapter, i use it and it works great, if anyone wants to see my angel with the Q-Loader and warp feed adapter just email me

1.) crank handle off the loader socket? so like I've got just the socket in my hand the open end pointing down. You have to push with force on the triangular protrusion in the middle and pop the actual handle off the socket itself?

Correct, it takes very little force to pop out the crank handle. The tech guys at QLoader are the ones that recommended it.

[fastingrage]

andre, the point was to have something that looked a lot better than the ugly warpfeed thing

[paintballman_13]

So, does anyone know where to get a new hub? (that black thing on the end of the spring) I was taking a pod apart for some practice and wouldnt you know, the spring has a lot of power (like the manual says). The hub went flying and now i cant find it.

[Paintballkid04]

hey i am thinkin of gettin one but all this stuff sounds very confusing i mean socket, crank handle,the spring and all this other stuff and i am only 13 i mean is it easier to understand with the manual... i mean the thing i dont understand the most is the prewind thing...what does that mean...i dont want to buy it and then break it or not know how to use it and have it be a waste of 85 or 80 bucks..ya know...is it easy to understand with a manual..

[paintballman_13]

Its really easy to understand with the manual and like it says THE SPRING HAS A LOT OF POWER! To prewind it you just hook it up to a reloading socket with a hose going to a silo (which houses the balls before loading) and you just spin a crank (like you used to do to roll down a window in your car)

[Paintballkid04]

ok so when u wind the balls from the silo into the q-pod and get all the balls in there and put the q-pod into the socket on your gun is it ready or are there two kinds of winding

[paintballman_13]

Yep just wind it with balls then put that into another socket on your gun.

[Andre the Bald Giant]

lol, it doesnt look bad at all, you just wanna sell that thing, its a better deal just to buy the warpfeed, and you know it works.

[Andre the Bald Giant]

i stripped the paint off of mine and polished the silver on it, and it looks cool, not ugly.

[dzastrow]

if u have a 90 degree in the feed, dont the balls push agianst a wall of the feed? it seems like that would stop it from forcing the balls into the gun and instead push it agiasnt the wall of the 90degree turn, i know this is a bad explanation but i dont know how to explain it errrrr

[Paintballkid04]

one more question...when there are no balls left in the pods but some in the tube how do those keep feeding
