    RPG Strangler - I don't believe he makes them anymore.

    IMHO, those style feednecks are very convenient but can't be fastened tight enough to ensure your hopper doesn't spin around.

        oh.. RPG? no wonder i couldn't find it on actionvillage and stuff

        because you had to twist it to tighten the hopper, id thought it would be nice to have that kind of feature. was using the RPG sub-zero feedneck, and its nice and all, but it seems like it's stripping the thread of the collar because of tightening it too much; it wont hold my revvy unless i tighten it a lot! so i switched to a stock ULE feedneck because it holds my revvy nice and tight.

                  Forgot to add...

                  Some believe its a benefit that the hopper doesnt tighten too tight. If you take a dive, and the hopper doesnt give, it snaps the neck. Of course, those style necks date back to ~2002.

                  The one big disadvantage of that style of neck is that it cannot fit all sizes of hoppers. HALOS needed sanding. Revvys didnt. It was just not possible to make a strangler that accomodated all hoppers. Which is why it was replaced with a clamper. No sanding required.

                      There are plenty used ones out there. Look around, you can find them pretty easy. Youll have to look hard to find them new, most manufacturers moved on from that design since its design is inferior to what is currently available.

                        ah, no wonder i see it on old automag guns. i'll keep on the lookout for it, but i may just stick with the sub-zero i guess. as long as its RPG, i know its cool thanks!

                            Put a little electrical tape around your hopper feedneck. That should tighten it up.

                              hockey tape grips better...that's what I use, but electrical tape works fine too
