Building Stock Class feed tube.

[cdacda13]

I need to know how to build one. I figured copper tubing with a 90* bend. But Im haveing trouble figuring out what to end as an end cap.
Any suggestions on how to build one?

Also, wait to you see my 10 round tube holder. Will be made out of duct tape.

These work very well. You can usually find them all over the place, dollars stores and the like. Just find yourself a coupling of the appropriate size and either sandwich it in between it and the tube, mill a broove for it to snap into or get getto and use some more duck tape or something.

You might check on http://www.stockclasspaintball.com/ for the specs on feed tubes for stock class. IIRC these have to actually meet the barrel housing and run parallel to it - ie. the transition to the bore/breech can only hold one ball at a time and can't be gravity fed. Modified stock allows different orientations.

If you use a larger diameter feed tube, you could insert the 10rd tubes into this directly, like a cartridge. This is a bit faster than emptying the 10rd into the feed tube, and I think that it's stock compliant.

i found that i could shove a phantom feed gate over the copper pipe when i made a few of these.

Total cost= 5 dollars. 3 of them were for the gold handle.
