Assembly: 5-minutes.
Shopping trip: however long it takes you to drive to Home Depot.

Home Depot Shopping List:

• copper pipe, 3/4-inch (0.75"), about a foot of it
• copper 45-degree elbow, 3/4-inch
• "Plasti Dip" paint/spray

Assembly Instructions:

• Stick the tube in the 45-degree elbow; attach with glue, solder, whatever you have laying around
• Spray with Plasti Dip.

You've got a 45-degree stick feed for use with open class markers.
Want a more "stock class-ish" feed? 90-degree elbow.

Add a cap or feed gate to the end to keep paint from rolling out. CCI Phantom gate for extra style points.

Buy a "rubber chair leg foot" at Home Depot and cut it for extra ghetto points or a tight budget:

Nicely done CJ

Is this Plastidip stuff readily available at Home Depot, or is it something obsure?

[Stilgar]

It is readily available, or you can use spray paint...or camo tape...or silly putty...or last nights lasagna...

also caps can be rubber cane tips or certain chair leg..bottoms/ alittle creativity and a feedgate goes a long way for them. or find a CCI one.

I finally found a situation where loading a stick feed with 10rnd tubes becomes a problem...

When lying prone in tall grass! lol, I would reach for a tube and loose 2-3 in the process.

tried this myself and found that the elbows from the hardware store are a little small when using my CCM feedneck. i have to either use a lot of grip tape or electrical tape to get it to fit tighter before the clamping collar bottoms out. found a solution. i took a 3/4" pipe coupler, the straight pipe for mating 2 3/4" pipes together and cut a groove down the length of the coupler. then stretched it over the elbow end that goes in the feedneck and soldered it down. now it should have enough meet on the feedneck side to allow my marker feedneck to lock it down tight without the tape. just thought i would update for others trying this feedneck style.

Yes. I did find it was a bit small. But Plasti dip fixed that problem!

The picture above is of mine so you can see it did work!

these will fit over a right feed cocker feedneck so you can slip a stick feed on if you don't want to use an elbow. if you can get a small brass nut, you could solder it to the feedneck and add a set screw to it or cut a groove and put on a pipe clamp to make it more sturdy. so many uses i am finding out on these. i did see a buddy at the field get away with using wine cork to seal the end since he didn't have a feedgate.

[Stilgar]

^Wine cork! Awesome! especially if it was a 'vintage' marker! lol

here is the three i did. the straight one works on right feeds with a plastic elbow. by adding the extra thickness with the coupler really helped to get it to lock down in the clamping feednecks and plastic elbows. don't really like the plasti dip spray paint because it doesn't feel like it fully dries. still a little sticky feeling even after couple days.
