    Twist Lock Question

    Can a power feed right twist lock barrel work on a warp feed left body

    I want to start a warp project with a classic RT but all the classic RT's I am finding are power feed right.

    Warp left bodies generally use autococker threads.

      I was talking about twist lock bodies.

        well to answer your question i believe it can... however i wanna clarify some things just to be sure

        (anyone who reads this please feel free to correct me but this is what i have been told)

        first off i always thought there were 4 types of feeds on a mag... standard feed, powerfeed, centerfeed, and warpfeed

        standard feed it set like the powerfeed where it is tilted in towards the center of the gun and a 45* feed elbow is required to attach your hopper, the only difference is which side the top of the feed faces... if the top faces the left it is a standard feed, if it faces the right and is on the left side of the body then it is a powerfeed.

        The center feed is just that... a feed coming straight up from the gun which usually contains its own feedneck so that you do not need an elbow.

        the warp feed is a feed that requires a 90* adapter to attach to is and is located directly on the side of the body for warp useage

        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
        now to answer your question... there are 2 types of twist lock barrels... the first is a centerfeed twistlock which only works on centerfeed bodies... and the second is a left/right feed twistlock meaning it would work with either power feed or standard feed.
        I might be wrong on this however, so if i am please correct me anyone.

        just to note, the new autococker threading bodies do not come in standard feed, powerfeed, and some centerfeed bodies

        but other centerfeeds and warps contain the threading built in



        good luck barrel hunting

          The way you described it is how I understand it too, just wanted someone else to confirm it.

            Power feed right hopper can be turned into a warp feed left quite easily by cutting or using an adaptor plug, not a strict by the definition warp feed left but personally I like it a lot better than using an adaptor...This one is of course, a hopper left, warp right mod...

              I run a powerfeed left body with a warp. Check out my thread in the workshop. I ran the hose under the gun, I think it's pretty cool and it's really compact.

                actually i believe the powerfeed is its own feed reguardless of which direction---powerfeed has the plug and the tube welded to the body in either left or right
                standard feed is where the tube feeds straight into the the body with no plugs-original automag classics had standard feed

                  you can get a barrel thast only pf left or right, there are also barrels that are both ways, if your barrel's twist lock dealie looks like a T then it works both ways. but if its just an L then it only works one way.
