? on standard feed

[BajaBoy]

ok right now my p-f is on its way to my house, but i have a torny this weekend. i do shoot pretty fast 4 a classic mag and i have a cut down feed tube (maybe by one ball lenth) and i did chop paint last saturday, but im not sure it could have been my paint or me short strokin.. but ill deal with those things later.. i just need 2 know if the shorter feed messes anything up (b-c if it does ill use my friend old stan feed that isnt cut) please help

I was warned against cutting mine down but I didnt get a reason why. Sorry I cant be more helpful.

cutting down the tube is now problem. It was made long to dissuade that ONE person who would decide to put thier finger in and pul the trigger.
As long as you have an agitated loader you'l be fine. Using a classic feed mag with a un-moterized loader is asking for serious toruble. A ricochet loader has a roller switch instead of a infared sensor like the revy. This blocks balls from going back into the loader, so hold them down, preventing blowback. A classic feed with a ricochet will give you preformance as good as a powerfeed.

actully cutting it down can be a problem.

the feed tube is long enough for 3 or 4 balls if i remember correctly and the weight of those balls is what helps keep the next one in line from bobbling due to blowback.

bigger stack = more balls. more balls = more wieght. More wiight = more blowback would be needed to puch the balls up. bigger stack -= less bobble.

Yeah, and besides the wieght issue, there is a problem with the position of the balls. If they are halfway in the correct position, you could have feed problems (slow and chops). It depends where you cut it, and I dont know the correct length.
