JT Revvy feedneck dia.

[glaman5266]

Does the newer JT Revolution have a larger diameter feed neck than the older VL models? I’ve been trying to use my old VL model on my Resurrection but I can never seem to get it cranked down tight enough, even with tape around the hopper neck. Last time I used it I sheared the o-ring on the feedneck adjuster knob. I’m probably doing something wrong, but I’ve been forced to use my Rotor because of this. (which I don’t want to do) I’d maybe pick up a newer JT model if it had a thicker neck that would fit modern marker feednecks. Would anyone happen to know?
Thanks for reading.

3D print a spacer?

Thought about that, but I don't have access to a 3D printer.

I don't have calipers to measure, but I have noticed the newer JT marked Revys have a neck slightly larger than the old soft pre-BE Revys I have. This is just an observation when trying to cram the different loaders on the same elbow, pre-tightened for either one (looser when inserting pre-BE in a JT adjusted and tighter when inserting JT into pre-BE adjusted).

Both of mine are pre-BE shells. Good to know. Thank you very much.

All of mine are the older type shells, but OpusX is right the newer JT branded ones seem to be a lil larger diameter and thicker in the feedneck area. This may be due to the older shells being brittle in that area and prone to breaking. Maybe JT wanted to reinforce the shell a lil more.

standard VL is 1 1/32 diameter.
i'm 99% that jt shells are still that dim.
