Chronic - Yes, it is rock hard, puts friggin' holes through you when you get hit with it! I got the welts/cuts to prove it!
Excellent Paul, well, the next Sunday you go up the field let me know and even if there is only a few of us, we can at least test that...
The standard IR3 detents aren't rebuildable like the Speed ones. The Speed ones are similar to the Cobra rebuildable ones that ARE available for the IR3 (probably where WDP got the idea).
I've heard some people have fixed the problem with Halo/IR3's with a Cobra detent (remember there is only 1 detent on an IR3), sometimes by pulling the spring longer if need be to make it stiffer.
I'll get a Cobra detent ordered and give it a go - it would be nice to get to the bottom of it...
