Just thought I'd show those of you itching for a project what can be done in about 3-4 hour.
Material List:
45 degree 3/4" PVC
Threaded/3/4" PVC
PVC Glue
2 1/2" wide 'L' bracket from the hardware store
Tool list:
Grinder/File
Drill / Bits
Dremel
My project opjective was to mount my Q-Loader in such a way that it would be out of the way/low profile and functional. I didn't want to buy the bracket that one can get for the Q-Loader because it cost to much and probably wasn't customizable enough. Since my air is remote weight isn't an issue since it's for woodsball.
The first objective was to use the down angle feedneck of my powerfeed left RT Pro (Emag Valve) on the right side to feed the Q-Loader. My idea behind this was to create a lazy downwards arc to the Q-Loader allowing free movement of my firing hand without getting bulky. I sort of Dremelled the threaded PVC connector so that the 45 degree connector could fit into it before the threads. The reason for the threaded PVC connector was that the Q-Loader feeder hose twists (threads) into it snuggly without falling out. The 45 degree fist stugly onto the feedneck without any modifications.
My second objective was to use the Q-Loader as a stock bringing it close enough for a good shooting stance, but also high enough so that I could aim through my mask easily. The last sort of tweak I did was drill the holes in the 'L' bracket in such a way to 'Dog Leg' the Q-Loader to fit better into my shoulder. The only thing I will change in the near future is tune the angle of the 'dog leg' and also maybe see about making the 'L' bracket out of aluminum to make it lighter.
Final Product (not yet tested or parts painted) is a well ballanced functional woodsball marker. I won't be getting any more hopper shots or give myself away when the hopper pops up.

don't laugh it takes lots of concentration and a bathroom mirror to aim a camera and a gun at the same time
