The only $#ty difference w/ the Redux feed tube front is that it's a solid piece...

No worries Short304: just add a bit of putty to the inside bend in the Redux feed block. You're not harming the metal by doing so and you could remove it later.

My two cents:

I doubt being a "perfect parabola" makes much of a difference with a Redux.

The issue with the Redux is simple: being milled with a ball end mill, past the feed port, there's a place where a ball in the tube can "high centre" the ball ahead of it, preventing the first one from falling into the feed port. (this is illustrated in the second of the three diagrams)

I don't know if I achieved the same profile as the powerfeed plug, with the epoxy putty I pressed in to the feed block. However, it made a sufficient ramp to prevent jamming.

All this to say: don't get too hung up on a "perfect" parabola.

C'mon folks. We need some other TESTERS for this! Break out your epoxy putty.

Yep I noticed this on day one. The only time it has ever been an issue is if the user over stuffs the feed tube to the point it prevents the balls from rockin back and forth. I'm not sure if it ever affected the feedability on the Redux when properly filled. Maybe try some silly putty.

I had done it to my Nellie a while ago. Should have been sooner.

I may consider this, but in all honesty will probably for go it just cause it ain't broke . . . .so I'm not fixing it!
