    Ghetto-rigging a Stingray elbow?

    I have a BE Stingray I, I'm trying to get it in working condition as one of my friends wants to buy it to get into paintball (and YES, I've explained to him how it's not the greatest gun money can buy ). However, I don't have an elbow that fits on the feed neck, and that the other end fits a hoppper!!

    I've heard the feed neck on the Ray 1's were super-huge, and that usually adjustable elbows don't work. Is this true? If so, does anybody have any ideas what I can do to have a working elbow on this thing?

    Man, seems like such a simple problem... and yet, UBER-FRUSTRATING!! Thanks AO!!

    you can try to make your own out of a pvc pipe elbow and some hose clamps.


    or try http://www.stinggroup.addr.com/
    the be stingray toters internet group. They have very good ideas and ways to make anything work on a stingray.

                  If the women dont find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                            Don't bother! Just buy one of the funky tiny hoppers that comes with the BE Blade - the elbow that comes with it fits the large feed necks, I have one on my Trracer pump.

                            EDIT: paintballbeaver beat me to it.
                            "I would like nothing more than to walk around
                            wearing a shirt with a giant arrow pointing
                            downwards, but I have this strange feeling
                            that most people would take it as some kind
                            of sexual suggestion rather than an attempt
                            to infer one's final destination."

                              The Red Green show is on PBS, on Saturday night.

                              He has a movie called Duct Tape forever. Everyone in the lodge donates a roll of ductape and they build a giant goose out of duct tape. Its so funny it would make Monty Python hide in shame.
