Stock Class Feed

Bones · 11-26-2006, 10:17 PM

I saw a Sniper II for sale and I thought it would be nice to have. I haven't bought it yet but I would like to know the options for putting a Stock Class Feed on it. Direct feed isn't really my thing, maybe I could put a 50 round hopper on it, but I would like a Stock Class feed.

I am thinking PVC, but I would need the measurements, if some one could get me those that would be great, if not, no big deal.

Are there any other options for putting a Stock Class feed? I am looking for a 10 round feed.

(The cocker is a right feed body)

Also, if I wanted to run 12 grams on it with out a reg would I need to switch up the springing? If so, what spring kit would you recommend?

If I wanted to run it with a reg I assume you could leave the springs alone unless you needed a major velocity change.

Well, you could modify a simple plastic plumbing elbow to do the job. I was looking at doing something similar for a 7/8 feed as well. Does it need to be horizontal for you or is a "stickin' up in the air" sort of thing OK? Bearing in mind that it wouldn't be a truly stock class since there'd be a ball or two vertically in the feedneck which is frowned in in the true stock world of things. But if you're just looking for an easy way to stick on a tube.....

At least one opinion that I saw about running my cocker pump on straight CO2 was that it would likely work fine with the original spring and just a bit of a tweak on the adjuster. I think it's because the amount of gas is more directly related to the energy in the hammer than the actual pressure in the system. My translation being that a hammer hitting a higher pressure valve will open it less and for a shorter time than a lower pressure system but the total MASS of the gas coming out will be the same and that weight of gas will expand to the same volume and propel the ball in the same manner. The mass being passed being related to the energy in the hammer.

Makes sense to my addled brain in any event..... At worst you'll need to swap springs. Cocker spring kits are still available from various shops.

PS: If you're looking for a true stock feed then you'd need to cut down the angle feedtube and possibly bevel the corner of the body on a mill or with some patience and hand tools (yes it would work and only take perhaps an hour) and a bit more work with that elbow and some scrap sheet plastic and some epoxy to make the adapter.

I don't need it to be true stock class, just because. I would be ok with it sticking up in the air, but I want it maybe just a little horizontal.

Thank you for your help.

Check out Palmers. He has a horizontal already made.

I was looking through PPS yesterday and I saw two different feeds, a Stocker tube, and a Stocker tube 90. I assume the second one is the get a 90 degree bend along with a right hand feed.

Is that the difference or am I just looking at the wrong place?
