Details

This tutorial teaches players how to properly use a speed feed on an electronic or mechanical loader. It starts with installation: aligning the feed housing, securing retention tabs, and confirming that each finger or flap moves freely.

Players practice refilling the loader using one smooth motion, ensuring the pod empties directly into the feed opening without hitting the feed lips at an angle. The goal is to reduce spilling while maintaining a predictable refill rhythm.

The guide emphasizes that speed feeds require periodic inspection. Players check each finger for stiffness, cracks, or uneven tension. Damaged fingers reduce paint retention and can cause spills during running.

Cleaning involves removing paint residue from the hinges and allowing the speed feed to fully air dry.

Using a speed feed correctly speeds up refills and helps maintain clean, consistent feeding.
