Eclipse Fangz on an Eblade with Halo

[rob_evanson]

I've currently got the stock ADB's on my cocker but thinking of upgrading to eclipse fangz. It's on an custom eblade with a halo b (v35). However with some other markers (Angel's and Impulses) I have know to have a problem with these ADB's as the Halo pushes the ball right past them, also I have noticed that the Nexus cockers don't use them, which says something.

Anybody got this setup and have had problems or no problems?

We use the standard stainless steel adb's on our E2's and E1's. Most of us are on Halos (both types).
My advice would be to stick to the factory supplied ones.

Would have to agree with the above, from when I used a Halo on my old Nexus

It actually says on Planets site..."We do not recommend use of these with a HALO loader" or words to that effect, which I can also vouch for. The fang has too much bend in it, to hold teh ball against the push from the HALO, which means big time choppy choppy.

It shouldn't really matter with a cocker since they're closed bolt anyway, but they don't come recommended for HALO's from anyone.

It does matter...coz while the bolt is open...one ball goes past the detent, the other, is in the way of the bolt and gets chopped...they just arent compatible.

Yeah, that's what happens with Angels too, but the effects probably wouldn't be as profound with a cocker since the bolt isn't usually open long enough for the HALO to push one ball so far past the detent that another ball can get partially loaded and chopped. Still, it's not worth even the possibility, so why take the risk? There's plenty of other detents out there. Frankly, I don't know why they even make the fang anymore (or even why they did in the first place), nobody buys them, they're not compatible with the fastest hopper available, what are they good for?
