These are not just for reballs even though my photo's are with reballs. It works even better with paint.
from the HB Webcast, Simon said the cost will be around 5 dollars.
Well I logged on to PBnation the other day and had a PM from Simon saying he’d be sending me the new anti-jam kit also. I had no idea what he was saying but I got something to make my Reloader B’s better for free so why not? I received them today. I got 1 of each of the anti-jams my package. My first thought was that they’re going to break easy. Well that is and is not the case. I’ll be putting them all through the ringer next week when my indoor field goes back to reball week(we’re currently in a paintball week).
This is a drop in replacement for anti-jam beads and spring. I am a huge fan of the long anti-jam spring, and I know that not everyone uses the long spring so I put my short one back in to test the reballs.
One thing I noticed when I was almost done with my preliminary testing I noticed that the black ones are not as strong/flexible as the red one but the red one is not as flexible as the yellow one. Somewhat like the spring kits in the S4 and the Clutch kits.
Most flexible to least flexible.
To install it in your loader you remove your shells, then remove the raceway from the board and remove the spring and beads. Once you do that there is a little stick on the side of the new kit and that goes under the top part of the raceway (the removable part of the raceway) then the pin slides in were the anti-jam beads are in place at. It should look like this.
I ran some of the worst reballs I’ve seen in a long time though this and did so till I got a jam with both the Clutch kit and the S4 drive cone. It didn’t take long with the S4 to have what I consider a catastrophic failure were when you spin the ripdrive in either way and it doesn’t take care of the problem. The Clutch kit I left in my Tournament slant pattern from my review of it. It didn’t take long either.

the jam with the clutch kit
the jam with the S4
What I noticed is while I still got some hiccups with the reballs it was MUCH better then without the new kit. When I did get a jam it wasn’t like the ones with the bead/spring with a little jerk of the loader it almost always cleared it, just tap the ripdrive and it 100% of the time cleared it. It seemed to get jammed the same place as with the spring but still not as bad. I ran about 2 cases worth of dirty reballs, and only had about 1 jam out of every 15 pods.
I know this isn’t long and as impressive as my other reviews but this was the prelim. I’ll be testing all 3 more next week.
will definitely be buying this as soon as someone puts a link up lol.
