As mentioned above here are the things you need to get right:


Softnose bolt
Ram stroke set properly
Good detents (standard WDP detents are crap. But as Tom Allen says above, two of them work alot better than one). Otherwise Cobra detents are nice.
Good halo board (intelifeed is the best, normal halo with eyes second, reloader last cos it sucks)
If you are not using intelifeed, then a bit of grease on the halo drive belt every couple of tourneys is beneficial.

Lastly Good paint, thats a must!!!

If you get all that stuff right then it WILL work...
^^^Correct.

Uhh.. What's a softnose bolt? Is it an actual make, or is it just one that's got a particular design? Otherwirse, forget it then. That's all too much cash.

I can't be bothered, just that i hate the look of an egg, and I'm buying a setup for a friend.. I was going to give him my egg and buy a Halo B for the money, profit.
I absoloutely adore the look and techinlogical gizmos that a Halo has..

Shame, they're so shiney!
Any info on softnose?

Ok. I'm going to get this:

Softnose bolt,
Ram Stroke set properly (by me? Ok?),
1x Standard WDP Detent + 1x Standard WDP Detent/OR/Special Detent that Tom Allen may supply,
Normal Halo with eyes, rip drive and z-code,
Very occasional grease every 2 months when i see some,
-and any paint i can get my hands on, but only teh fresh stuff, this'll be sufficient, won't it?

Will itta work?
 
Yeah,

A softnose bolt is a great upgrade anyway, even if you arent using a halo.

Ram stroke is easy when you have the angel toolset.
Heres how we do it:
Air up the gun. Turn the ram stroke forward (clockwise) until you cant open the breach anymore, then turn it back a quarter turn or so (making sure you can open the breach)

If you are getting Tom to do you double detents then yeah that should work!


You need to grease the drivebelt quite heavily the first time you do it, then you just need a tiny bit, every few months.


With fresh, good quality paint, it should be fine!

:)

Double WDP detents will hold it then? No questions asked?
Saweet.
This all should cost £50 or so, shouldn't it?

Tom Allen's work:
£20
Postage, both ways:
£12
Softnose bolt:
£18

£40, or £50 including a better third party detent..
