autococker pumps

[Railgun]

A couple of drops of oil down the ASA before airing it up each time or two to lube the reg and valve and you should be good. Outside of that once in a blue moon you may want to take off the trigger frame and check and put a touch of oil onto the hammer. Although the little bit of blowby past the valve pin may well take care of this for you if you oil it through the ASA reasonably regularly.

Dry fire with no barrel after oiling to blow out the excess without it getting into the barrel.

Because it's a closed bolt setup you'll need to do something to avoid rollouts. Always aim high is one option that doesn't always pan out... . So a barrel kit is one option. Electrical tape strips or painted on fingers of paint or nailpolish in the back of the barrel to lightly pinch the paint when chambered is another. But one way or the other you need to do something about the rollouts.

They are hella fun to play with and feel great when firing them. Fantastic toys.

CCM (Phantom) 12 gm changers FTW. The double start threads ensure that it takes only about 1.5 to 2 turns to seat and pierce the cartridge. Get 'em through Wevo, Horizon or any other Phantom dealer. WWV changers may be much the same but I haven't seen them at all.

I believe most stock class rules stipulate either 20 or fewer balls horizontally or 10 or fewer vertically. Not totally sure on that, let someone else who's actually played a stock class tournament confirm/deny.

Assuming that's the case, though, just go to your local hardware store and look for flexible tubing. Find one that fits your feed tube, buy a foot/yard/minimum amount of it, cut it down and stick it on the marker. If you're concerned about balls falling out, stick a piece of wire through the hose and bend a loop on the end of it so you can slide it back and forth. Stick something on the end or bend that over so it doesn't fall out, and there you have it. 10-ball stacks for any marker you want. Did it to five of mine so we could shoot each other in my backyard. And by backyard, I mean the middle of the woods.

A little ghetto, but it works. And it's a few bucks to do it to a ton of markers. Beats buying an expensive stock class feed tube. I guess you could wrap it in fabric or tape to pretty it up, but I've never felt the need. Probably buy a pocket hopper, too, then you can use that when you're playing non-stock class pump.

for anyone who knows anything about these or bought one: they are autococker threaded correct?

[Rudz]

Yes cockers are autococker threaded

The Psycho Ballistics Lightning is just a brand and model name for an autococker that isn't made by WGP. There used to be LOTS of them. Dye, AKA, ANS, Freeflow and many others all made autocockers.

The only quirk with PB cockers is that the frame mount screws are 10-24 instead of 10-32. The rest is all standard cocker standards.

Stock class rules have very specific standards but not a lot of groups play totally to the letter of the stock class law. The basis is that you're supposed to have to "rock n' cock" for each shot. That means you're not supposed to have a ball stack at all. There's L tube "stock" loaders that fit on over feednecks but technically those are not stock class legal since you can get an assured reload on the next pump without the need to "rock" it to tip a ball into the breech.

Some groups are just so happy to have you out pumping that they'll overlook a lot of these finer points. But just realize that even if you have a horizontal tube loader that it may not qualify as a pure to the letter stock class setup. As for vertical tubes again there's no "rock n' cock" so they are not stock class by the letter of the law. But again a lot of groups are just so happy to have more pumpers out there and to see you trying to limit yourself to stock class that they'll often overlook or otherwise tolerate this. But if they start running stock class events for serious then these "sorta stock" setups won't be allowed.

i know what stock class loaders are but what i was curious about was if you could screw off the hopper feed neck and put in a rock and cock feedtube in its place.
