I've been running a halo on my original speed for a bit ... with no major drama's... but i did change the bolt to an A4 soft nose(which you should already have)... I've also used a Egg Z-board on it and thats all good too... so go with what you prefer...

Complete misnomer, ignore anyone who tells you different. Problem with HALO's and older angels was that balls would roll past the detent into the bolt face and allow double feeding (the sensi rod isn't long enough or sharp enough to penetrate paint (at least the three I tried), even with a crazy, overfeeding HALO. People just wanted one more reason to blame COPS/Sensi for something, so they figured that was a good a thing as any). The new softnose eliminates that, as the face is smaller and has the dome of the soft face to prevent balls rolling back, and it's got dual detents. I've run two on my 4 with no problems. I'm sure you'll find the majority of people with 4's have had no problems whatsoever. I'd go for the HALO myself, as the egg is tall, awkward, ugly, impossible to look around, hard to load, prone to breaking (batt doors and lids), not true force feed, and above all, not as fast.

Completely agree. When I put a halo on my 4 expecting all sorts of problems, I was quite suprised when it worked trouble free. Don't listen to half of the BS that people tell you- it's often from reading nonsense on t'internet rather than actual experience.
