inferno T3 problem

[guppy]

Anyone out there having difficulites with their plastic (Yeah i said PLASTIC!) vert feed on their T3 splitting everytime they play? Contact Arrow Precision in Surrey & they will send a bag full of free vert feeds to keep u goin' until they rectify the problem...probably with a new rubber vert feed which hopefully wont split.

My Heat has plastic vertical feed elbow that I've put through hell. I've never had the problem you are describing though. Is it splitting on the top half that holds the hopper or the bottom where it attaches to the gun?

plastic vert feed

it splits at the bottom..where it connects to the gun. 3 games...3 broken vert feeds! Arrow have admitted there's a flaw in the design. The reason for being plastic is that if it takes a knock the feed breaks and not the breech that it connects to, which would be far more costly to replace. Still useless though when it breaks - even without a knock! Suppose i'll have to carry a pocket of plastic feeds onto the field in the meantime!

i have been using an inferno heat for quite a while now. i have even took it to the canadian national speedball championships (not bad for an entry level marker) and i have never had a prob with it. you must be perty rough on yours.

I agree, I have been shooting Infernos for ages and never had any problems with the feed adapters.

Guppy: Out of interest what type of adapter are you having problems with; the plain feed adapter like the ones you get with Angels or the newer 'rippled' styled ones?

Hi Ray. Yeah, i'm using the 'rippled' feeds. Have you used the plain ones..are they any better? Where do you get yours? I've been getting mine from SmartParts and direct from Arrow precision.

Have you asked or looked to see if the feed tube threads are comparable to anything else out there like an Angel or Piranha to see if you can replace it with an existing feed tube? If that doesn't work see if you can find a machine shop to copy your plastic one with aluminum.

Guppy,

I've never broken a vertical feed adapter so I cant say if they are any better, but any place which sells Angel bits should be able to help. You might be able to pick one up 2nd hand in the Classifieds forum.

Cheers
