Tippmann X-7

After years of using my Mini/Lite, I bought an X-7 and the first time I used it, it broke balls. I talked with the guys at my local store and they said to look at the arms of the Cyclone feed. I looked and it wasn't the arms, but a spur leftover from molding on the bottom of the cylinder under the arms was rough enough to split balls. I bought some fingernail files at the Dollar store and cut one done to fingertip-size. I worked that around until the area was smooth. I used it the following time and was very happy I hadn't just wasted $239!

cyclone feeder

Sorry, no pics, but if you run your finger around the base of the feeder under the arms, you might find some rough circles left over from the moulding process. I checked another guy's A5 on Sunday at a field and found the same thing.
