No it wasn't.  The feed tube stuck out of the right side of the body at about a 45 degree angle.

Damn. I need one of those for my Q loader. The warp ULT would look stupid, and my powerfeed sticks up too much.

Go to here:  http://www.lukescustoms.com/page0027.htm and scroll down.  He can even do Warpfeed mods to feed from the side.  Don't know if that would help with your Q-Loader or not.

If I were him, and you did that, I would have shot you... repeatedly.

Because you all become closer as a group due to the nagging common problems with the markers such as constantly keeping them in tune.

Psh. You 'mag guys are like the tuner crowd. Buy a car that works for the sake of it working, and upgrade it as you see fit.

Us 'cocker guys are like classic car gearheads. We get a 'cocker for the simple pleasure of keeping it up and running, and knowing are efforts are what created such a smooth operating machine.

LOL.  This is the reason I took most of the chrome off my motorcycle.  I was too busy polishing it to ride it.  With a 'mag, less tuning = more time playing...

Hah. I don't know how long this friendly jousting will continue before it starts getting serious. 

I should probably just leave it at "Nice 'mag!"

On that note, if a 'cocker works, and you don't screw around with it, it will always work! I've had less problems out of my 'cockers than I've had with my 98C!

We're just ribbing each other.  I have a profound ignorance when it comes to Autocockers.  If any note of seriousness on either of our parts surfaced, I'd walk away from this.

Hah. I love getting into these arguments. It's never long before someone actually takes them seriously! :P

On that note, my Osiris crapped out and I'm gonna build a sweet mech 'cocker. Stay tuned!

Still love the simplicity of that 'mag! One of these days, I'll nab one!

Crapped out???

Quote and I'm gonna build a sweet mech 'cocker.

Didn't you say you have a '65 Skylark that needs attention?

Quote Stay tuned!

Unlike an Autococker?  Sorry, couldn't resist... 

Quote Still love the simplicity of that 'mag! One of these days, I'll nab one!

I still haven't fired this one in it's new configuration.  Need to get a vertical hopper adapter.  The ones I have are for 45 degree feednecks.

Oh yeah. Skylark. Well, the way I see it, I'll have the 'Lark for another, oh, say 60ish years! :)

Anyway, yeah the Osiris crapped out. Internal ram stripped out where the barb screws in, and a Free Flow QEV broke. Until I have the ram fixed, it's dead in the water. I'm thinking about tapping it for 10/32 threads, but that would require a much larger hole in the body, so I'm not gonna do that to my Ripper. When I find the right body for the Osiris, I'll try again. Or I may sell what I've got and just get another Race frame. I do love Race...

I just added "drive a car that's over 100 years old, over 100mph" to my "To Do Before I Die" list.
