Hey all, I figured I'd bounce this one off some people who would know. I got a 98 Custom Platinum Series recently(No, not for christmas- I wish!) for the woodsball we play down by the construction site. I'm also a lefty shot, and I find the loss of field-of-view doesn't hurt me all that much, but still, I have to inquire: is there any way I can switch the side my hoppers on? If this involves buying parts, I'm fine with that, but a product name would be nice, or, if it involves me dissecting ol' faithful(which I've yet to do at all), some rudimentary instructions would be great. If it can't be done, it's not a big loss, but i've heard of other options such as q-loaders(no-one in my town has one, I just read a short blurb about it on this forum). Regardless, any help you could toss my way would be much appreciated!
 
Thank you,
Jeff
(Also my first post fyi, I'm reasonably certain this is the right forum, reading this article, but if I'm wrong, I apologize)

I don't see the stock feed as a problem, but you could center feed it.
 
As you play more you will shoot as much right handed as left. Center feed
is neutral. You just need to find a place that does it.
This is a stock Custom Pro Platinum that has been centerfed.

Sounds good, I also recently have found the reflection from the "TIPPMANN" and "CUSTOM" labels being to my chest is a plus. Yeah, I'll see if there are any places in town(unlikely), thanks for the clarity.
 
EDIT: Any reputable online stores you could recommend?
