Needed to post some pics of this.

I had some spare parts left over from a previous project and decided to make a nice backup.

Luke did a centerfeed mod, powdercoat, and a very good tune-up to his previously installed trigger stops and sear mod, and this thing is running like a champ. And now it looks as good as it shoots.

"Luke did a centerfeed mod, powdercoat, and a very good tune-up to his previously installed trigger stops and sear mod"...


Yep...I am the same guy on the tippy forums. I own a "few mags". :rolleyes:
In fact, the only Tippmanns I own now is an old SL-68II pump, and a 68 special that I will never get rid of.

My ETac is my baby, but this little unit is growing on me. Shoots great, and is very pleasing on the eyes.

Dude, she looks sexy. The only thing that would make her sexier would be to anno it candy apple red. But that is a nice gun!

Where did you end up getting your feed cup from and what marker was it made for?
(I have people ask all the time.)

Yea I know, but the slid on type are hard to find nowdays. The only ones I've seen latley are the ones with the tabs on the bottom of the neck.

CP Basic one

Interesting thing from CP - adds a Cocjer threaded feed Thread to the top of the Sptder - migh tmake for a pretty high feed neck though

Clamping and looks nice

My favorite - even though they cost more - I think compulsize carries a few that would work

or

Need more I can probably come up with some

The first to links are the ones with the two "tangs" on the bottom, I don't think those will work. But, you did list a feww others that would work, thanks.

StygShore
12-05-2006, 02:06 PM
actually first one is a slip over collar

Second one has tiny tangs, but is still a slip over collar, as there are no screw holes in the tang ( not sure why they bothered leaving the tangs on, but they did )

but plenty of others on there, I like the REDZ one the best, it has lowest profile, and smaller than most of theme I have seen

The one that I used is the Kingman Java.

It was the only one that I could find at the time.

Cost me $7. :headbang:

I realize that it is ENORMOUS. But it works fine and holds the revvy perfectly. It beats the hell out of the HUGE plastic tube dealio.


Thanks again Luke :hail:

If it's for a revvy, then don't pay any attention to the people screaming about lower a profile.
You'll want a taller ballstack when using a revvy.


Next time you see it though, ask your loader how the weather is up there for me.

Thought very seriously about zipping it in half on the band saw.....the feedtube I mean! :wow:

But I think I will use it as is for a while, and maybe buy one of the feednecks linked to above, a clamping feedneck would probably be best.

Looks like CCM makes one: http://www.chipleymachine.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CM&Product_Code=CCM-1A0001&Category_Code=FP

Anyone seen it?

New Pics
Strangler feedneck from Rogue on the ETac.
Redz clamper on the Blackmag
I paid $30 for that brand new Egg3 and it sits right down on the marker with that feedneck/tube.
The Cam-105 for Spyders works perfectly with Lukes centerfeed mod.
Thanks for the advice

Or you could just PM Luke here.

Not sure how to take that comment. Should I be :mad: , or should I be :cheers:

I also belong to PbNation, Warpig, MCB, MilsimOG, DocsMachine Guild, OMHW forum, iPod forums, iLounge, Notebookreview forums, PBreview forums, Sony Clie Forums, Chordbook forums, and Cellphone forums. All with the same user name.

Not sure what that has to do with me being an AO member, or an automag owner.
I would venture a guess that if someone has played paintball for more than 5 years, they have probably owned a tippmann at one time or another.
One More pic...just for fun.
