are you saying you want a better feed neck? check Rouge's stuff.

in case you haven't noticed this is a twistlock body with a feedneck sort of like the hi-rises but not so huge. Rogue doesn't make clamping feednecks that just slide onto a metal tube, otherwise i'd just use a pipecutter and slice the thing off.....at least i'm pretty certain it doesn't have threads for the feedneck.

Could it be done? YES but it would cost more than a ULE body, if you include the price of the body and the work. it would probably be around, and I’m just guessing, $80-$90 for just the conversion, and probably a several months wait.

fireblade, good idea but its still non-adjustable
space weasel, good god thats alot of money i might as well cut it off and tap it myself for that price and wait time. anybody else beg to differ and say it would be cheaper? i'm tryin to use this body so i can stick with twist-lock.

in all honesty, give up on twistlock. it just isnt a viable option any more. With straight shot squeegies, etc on the market, not to mention level 10, twistlock is no longer needed. it doesnt really surve a pourpose in paintball any longer. also, you will be hardpressed to find a twistlock barrel any more. Especially one in vert feed.

even if you did want to use the twistlock as it was origionally intended, to take your barrel off on the field and clean it, with a vert body, it is nearly impossible, short of turning your gun upside down, and resting your hopper on your knee while you do this, and if you have a halo, you can forget that even, as those balls will be propelled by the drive cone out of the marker as it is.

I think you are all overestimating what this would take to do (I could be wrong). Figure out what thread and pitch one of the systems you would go with is - then take it to a machine shop and ask them. I expect with the right equipment you could do this fairly quickly and simply, of course you might ruin the body doing it.
