As any SL owner knows the hopper clamp is smaller than any hopper. Thats why Tippmann had that little plastic adapter. But like many of us that had that adapter, it cracked. Here is the simple solution. Those little ten round feeder tubes are super handy. They fit right into the SL feeder clamp, so cut one down to the apropriate size so it is just a tube. Now you hopper will simple fit over the tube. Use one of those metal screw clamps on the bottom of your hopper and your done. Very sturdy. PS make sure you sand and get any burrs out of the tube, or it will not feed right. Cheers ------------- Dont buy spyders. Step on them. |

I'm accually concidering making/selling a few (not on here, though). Problem is, I only have access to a lathe at school so I can't make a bunch. Gawd I would love to own a small lathe, but space is an issue. Also, I have an APP "SIGHT FEEDER" hopper made specifically for SL's that doesn't require a adapter. Anyone know if these are rare? -------------
