Clamping Feedneck?

idkfa · 12-12-2007, 09:04 AM

As I posted earlier, I recently won a nice little Mag (my first) on eBay. Here she is (are Mags girls?

):

I have most of the parts needed to finish it up on their way, including some hose, quick disconnects, vertical air adapter, a rail mounted on/off ASA, as well as a PPS Male Stab that I am getting for Christmas. However, I am not a fan of the tall feedneck, so I am thinking of cutting it off an mounting a clamping feedneck.

I am curious as to how these necks attach. Are there set screws or a clamp that will secure them to the piece that I will leave after I cut? I know that clamping feednecks clamp the hopper, but what would be a good choice for one to attach to the neck? I don't want to end up with a threaded feedneck...

Something in black preferably. I want to have an alternating silver/black colour scheme on this marker.

I would contact Craig over at PALMERS, they are now using a clamp feedneck on their New PYRE pump blazer.

The neck clamps onto a .875 bare stovepipe riser.

The PYRE feedneck may actually fit without any kind of spacer. Otherwise you use an EGO feedneck and use tape, a copper pipe, aluminum pipe, or any other material pipe to fit the feedneck on (EGO feednecks are a bit too large).

The pyre feednecks are smaller because the blazer feed tube is also smaller than an ego feedneck. It may be directly compatible. If it isnt, it would mean a smaller spacer anyways, so I would get that.

I think they will be 25 or 30 bucks, while you can find used stock ego feednecks for under 10 dollars on pbnation.

To remove your stock feedneck, use a hack saw and then grind the tube as strait as your eye and see. Woot.

Ye Gads!! Hacksaw? Shivers. I use a tubing cutter you can get from an Air Cond. supply house or Electrical house. Give you a straight cut then slight filing and your done. I just cut down a Vert feed Minimag today. So I'm looking for the same type clamp. If you get the Palmers let me know how it works out.

on a side not, why are you double reging a Mag ? Double reging the Mag will actually starve the valve during high rates of fire. The only time you need to double reg a Mag is on a Pnuematic conversion.

I've tried it before, using a stabilizer barrowed from my Houndstooth. So long as you have the regulator pressure from the regulator set really high (around 750-800 psi) the recharge rate is just fine - but then I'm fireing from a old school classic so I rarely get over 5bps.

It only helps consistency a little, but the biggest bonus is keeping liquid out.

I am using CO2, and I play in cold weather, so I thought a Stab would be a good thing to use.

I highly recommend HPA for your mag if playing in cold weather.

CO2 in cold temperatures causes liquid/pressure problems, especially for mags.

I know I know.

Thanks nonetheless.

I am going to have to use CO2 for this winter (for the few games I play outdoors, most are indoors), as I cannot get HPA at the moment for myself. Most of my playing will be indoors, so I am guessing a Stab w/ Anti-Siphoned CO2 will be fine...

Should be. Run the stab at max output.
