Paint ball feed help????

[Dotcom]

hey i just got into paintballing and i got a silver egal brass egal gun, it has this diaginal thing that a normal hopper wont fit in, so i bought this elbow feed, the thing about this is the elbow feed has two different holes one has lines that makes it thicker, while the other is smooth, so if i put the hopper in the smooth one it fits but the other end wont fit in the gun and it the same the other way around? whats wrong?.....

Hi mate.

Your marker sounds like one of the old Brass Eagle jobbies (really old!).

Anyway, feednecks used to come in different sizes, so chances are the "elbow" that you bought, is the wrong size.

The Elbow, should fit over the feedneck on the marker, then the hopper slides into the other end of it.

Pictures would help, but if you measure the diameter of the feed neck on the marker and measure the hopper, that will help when buying the right one.
Somewhere like Fatbobspaintball.co.uk may be able to help you if you ring them.
They used to be measured in inches, like 1 inch or 3/4 inch ends.

If it's marginally to small, all you have to do is get a mug/container of boiling water place the end of the elbow in it then and leave for 30 seconds or so then fit on to the gun.

Hope this helps
