hopper for a PMI

[Revelation911]

Should i get a special hopper for a PMI Piranha PRO TS G3? the standard hopper doesn't seem to fit?

Just wrap some tape around it. Its something we all gotta deal with

Instead of using tape that might bunch up, you can buy a feeder spacer for about $5.

get a straight elbow. straight elbow=no more fitting problems + more balls stacked:)

Most vertical feeds don't accept elbows. The hopper slides into the feed on most markers.

very true

32* hoppers seem to have a bigger feed on them, they stay in a little better. Has anyone tried to put washers or Orings on their hopper necks to see if that takes the play out? I jsut thought of that.

seriously, my friend has a straight elbow on his Terminator T3. Try and find one then see if it werks on your gun.

i have an APP hopper and actually had to shave it. three friends of mine got G3 Pros and thier vl200s didnt stay on well, so we taped them. We used that really thin, translucent brown packing tape and just put one layer around the whole neck of the hopper, and it worked perfectly. also, it isnt permanently attached, so you dont have to worry about that. It took about five minutes of careful work per hopper.

also it puts your hopper up higher making your hopper an easy target. i would say if the hopper is to lose put tape around it if it just wont fit you may need to buy a vertical elbow. but like it says above and it is truee for most fhishys your gonna have some problems.

my revvy fits really tight in my fish. is the prob only with VL200?

I hear pre-BE Viewloaders fit perfectly, but the newer ones have problems staying in.
