cool feed trick

[FooTemps]

Tunaman set this up for me and I just noticed this pretty recently... maybe a month or so ago. This is a standard body with a 90 degree feed adapter on it. The setup makes the hopper sit right above the gun like on a high rise marker. Neat huh?

Here's a pic:

here's another one

edit: yeah, I know the camera's date is screwed up...

put one of those on the other side and its a very low profile warped body(turn the 90* upside down)

[FooTemps]

yeah, I tried that too when I set up a warp on my marker. It worked well. The only problem is that it wobbles when it's upside down. The feed adapter is held on by a screw against the feed tube. All those classic bodies have that tiny hole right at the base of the feed. So that means when I turn it upside down the screw goes into that hole and that means wobble.

[PzYcO]

ah ok it was worth a shot =P

[FooTemps]

That warp idea works though. It just gives me room to move the tube around for a tighter fit.

Looks nice, how about a whole gun shot tho? I am getting a classic body that I really didn't want, it may turn into my first body modification!

[EsPo]

wow.. thats really cool, its lower than powerfeed...

[FooTemps]

It shoots nicely. At first it was a bit bad but after I changed some o-rings and the reg seat it was fine.

BTW: The only reason it shot poorly was because tunaman made it for me out of his parts box (or something of the like). It's nothing I can really complain about, it was free.

edit: weeee, talk about misreading to the max... I'll get those whole gun shots up pretty soon.

Is that a warpfeed adapter? I was thinking of doing that to my backup classic marker but wasn't sure if it would work with a hopper elbow.

[FooTemps]

I'm not sure what kind of 90 degree adapter it is...

okay... I just looked. It's a pro team adapter. It should work though since both warp hose AND eblow fit on mine. I don't think you should try it with plastic adapters though.

Is that feed cut down?

[FooTemps]

yeah, it's cut down.

Nothing new, did this years ago ;) and then only got the metal powerfeed 'cos I kept snapping the plastic ones.

I bouhgt my first mag in '96 and that is the way I did my powerfeed. I think you have a PTP powerfeed there. At least it looks like the PTP one I have.

It makes it real nice to clean if you have a break in the hopper or feed neck.

[Kevmaster]

PTP made those back in the dy for the stingray....great product now and then. never thought of using it on a mag, but i suppose...why not?

Yeah, I'll give you a whole gun shot. I need to pay more attention...

[FooTemps]

here they are! yeah, I know the date is screwed up. Yeah, I know I have a stuffed pikachu. Yeah, I know there is no airline on it...

[FooTemps]

blah.... I know it isn't much different from the other side.

[ChucktheMAGician]

Thanks for the pic. I just wanted an idea of how high it made the hopper in comparison to the whole gun. Oh and I woulda said that was my sisters Pikachu!:D

[MarkM]

If you want the hopper to be lower then you angle the PTP power feed towards the rear of the Mag and then turn the feed tube in such a way as the hopper is in a straight line to the body, it doesn't lower it much but it is a small gain.....just like the pic in my previous post :rolleyes:
