| I love the armson elbows and the aci ones. The reason they make cheap hopper shells is they make so much money replacing them. They created their own market.

   | Modern hoppers are really the worste things ever. Any molded plastic even those cheap winchester hoppers are very tough compared to the brittle halo shells and other hopper shells, it is pathetic. My VL 200's are tough compared to current hoppers and I bought them in 2000. The Armson 7/8 elbows are nice but they are a bit small for almost any guns feedneck and almost any hopper, they are strange sized, but very durable and a cool smoke color. I like them.

| They just get over tightened and brittle and crack. I personally have had great luck with my 1 inch clamping VL bow.

| I have one of these for a micromag. Very nice, excellent construction. He makes all of the parts himself because he couldn't buy what he wanted elsewhere, down to the knobs. He's very talented machinist and one of the "good" manufacturers. I reccomend both these and the compression kits very highly.

| That game has a lot of potential. If it takes off like it should, I could see it turning into the biggest event in the Midwest. There were a lot of vendors there too, and I wouldn't be suprised to see an attached tradeshow like at the NPPL events.
