Ghetto-rigging a Stingray elbow?

[BobTheCow]

I have a BE Stingray I, I'm trying to get it in working condition as one of my friends wants to buy it to get into paintball (and YES, I've explained to him how it's not the greatest gun money can buy :rolleyes: ). However, I don't have an elbow that fits on the feed neck, and that the other end fits a hoppper!!

I've heard the feed neck on the Ray 1's were super-huge, and that usually adjustable elbows don't work. Is this true? If so, does anybody have any ideas what I can do to have a working elbow on this thing?

Man, seems like such a simple problem... and yet, UBER-FRUSTRATING!! Thanks AO!!

you can try to make your own out of a pvc pipe elbow and some hose clamps.


or try http://www.stinggroup.addr.com/
the be stingray toters internet group. They have very good ideas and ways to make anything work on a stingray.

yes they do have the one inch huge feed neck the elbow you want to buy is readially availbe at like walmarts or kmarts its the vl bow or you buy a little 45 round hopper and one usally comes with the hopper

Duct tape. Solves all your problems.

Couldnt help myself.

Im sorry i swear :rolleyes:

[elpimpo]

lmao. poor kid. please tell me thats a pic of u. that would make my day

Don't bother! Just buy one of the funky tiny hoppers that comes with the BE Blade - the elbow that comes with it fits the large feed necks, I have one on my Trracer pump.

EDIT: paintballbeaver beat me to it.

The Red Green show is on PBS, on Saturday night.

He has a movie called Duct Tape forever. Everyone in the lodge donates a roll of ductape and they build a giant goose out of duct tape. Its so funny it would make Monty Python hide in shame.

[Sparq]

Heheh, I thought I was the only one who saw that movie...

:D :D :D

I'm pretty sure that the Ray 1 feed necks were 1 1/16", which is larger than the elbows at walmart. You could probably just file down the inside of one of them and get it to fit, though, if it doesn't.

Yes, that is my Stingray with an AGD Warp Feed towards the bottom. It has an Automag vertical adapter on it too.

[elpimpo]

my god. its called duct tape. works wonders. come on dude

[BobTheCow]

LOL the matrix poster in the background of that pic makes it just that much funnier...

And pure duct tape isn't gonna work, if the feed neck is too wide to shove itself into anything... :confused:

[elpimpo]

if u cant figure out a way to make it work then u cant call yourself a man

[BobTheCow]

Uh, thanks for the (mostly) helpful stuff... it's all taken care of now.
