Pump question

[Kellen_p8nt]

IUm going to be buying a Maniac II pump gun for dirty cheap but I want to have it stock class. It currently uses a tiny hopper but I need it to use the 10 round things. ANybody know how or who can achieve this?

post a pic if you can, it may help in deciding what needs to be done before offering options.
if it has an elbow to attach the hopper, sometimes the std feed that the elbow attaches to may actually accept 10 rd. tubes. I know my old trracer did.

bleh link doesnt work but copy and paste that and it will. What I want is to make this thing stock class legal.

Use a PVC pipe "stick feed". Attaches to the vertical/right/left or whatever feed you have, make it to hold no more than 15 rounds if it is horizontal and no more than 10 rounds if it is vertical. I believe those are the limits of the stock feed rules.

[Fred]

for true stock class (horizontal feed tube parallel to the barrel) you'd need to chop the feed tube off, and somehow attach a new stock class tube...

for modified stock, just stick a 12gram changer on the back, and a pvc elbow... technically you shouldn't be stacking balls over the bolt, but most of us stock classers don't care, its good enough that people are playing any kind of SC... :D

would this be considered stock class? :confused:

Looks like it :)

[Big'n slo]

It can hold more than 10 rounds at a time, not sure if it would be considered true stock class?
But i do get a whole 20 shots off a 12 gram!

If the stack is horizontal, you can hold up to 15 balls.

For pump/stock play I have a CCI Phantom VSC. My stock breach holds 15. Hopefully soon I will also be able to switch it between pump and semi-auto! I wanted BradAGD to convert an extra trigger frame for the job :)

I am pretty sure that would be considered "modified stock" and not true "stock" class. The reason being, in stock class you must be able to hold only one ball above the breech and have to rock the gun to load your second ball. With the power feed, you would have 3 balls ready to feed in quick succession with out the need to rock and cock. It's pretty close though.

Ahh.. I see

Gives me a reason to break out the hack saw. :D

There is this on pbgear, can't say I know anything about it, and it's almost 50 bucks http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/010-6050.html

You can try a hacksaw and a pvc. You don't realy need a spring for a punp because you naturaly hold it back when you pump, for example the pgp has no sping in it's loader.

[Kellen_p8nt]

Well its kinda disheartening to know i wont be true SC. BUt when im getting this pump for somewhere between 30-40 bucks its kinda hard to pass up.

My main reason is I know playing pump will help me become a better player in general and will just be fun.

[Fred]

personally, I wouldn't hack up that pump, I had never heard of it before you posted... just use 12grams and the tiny hopper, or the pvc option...

or you could just use a warp 90° adapter with a 10 round tube or something.

and... for 40$ for a working marker you can't go wrong!

This website explains what you need to have to be considered stock. http://www.pbmarshals.com/WHATISSTOCK.htm It says that the tube must be gravity fed be parrelell witht the barrel and must touch the barel.

bleh I juct got back from that place. Looks like i wont be shooting a pump because those thigns were POS.
