Great news!!!

I love the sportshot I have now, can't wait to see these!

They aren't actually on sale yet, I guess the release of the catalogue jumped the gun a little.

Thanks to TF for the work he did modifying the old hoppers to run better and to let me use that work to better this one, as well as testing out the prototype shells and final parts. Although if he calls me a wanker again I'm never sending him anything else.

The inside of the body shell is different to work much better with 68 cal paint. It will still come with an insert for other calibers.

We aren't putting the name on the side anymore either, and the lid logo has changed to the more modern ER one.

Here's the tools I used to work on this project...

As soon as they are on sale and I know a price I'll let everyone know.

p.s. I'm bringing back smoke 10 round tubes and quick lids too.

not ETA yet though.

p.p.s. Excuse the crappy beer in the picture. It's all I had to work with at the time.

You made us a new hopper, and the beer was probably free. Definitely excuseable... now please don't hit me with that huge wrench!

When, and for how much, will these be on sale?

They are pretty small compared to other 100rd hoppers (they are wider though) and can be made to sit rather low on the marker. They also feed well and are very tough (same sort of quality as the old VL Revvy hoppers).
