Improvising a 1-inch elbow

[Housemaster]

There's a big scenario game going on this weekend at my local field, and I wanna use my Trracer really bad. But noone around here has a 1-inch elbow. Anyone have any ideas for an improvisation?

Lets see, you could probably buy PVC pipe in the correct shape and size at a local hardware store and use that as a makeshift elbow. Or you could cut an existing elbow (one of the generic all plastic non-screw elbows would probably be best) and then use a zip-tie to fasten it on. Or, you could go out and buy a BE Talon (for about $25) and use the black BE elbow that comes with it.

no lies but u might ahv to do wat i saw this kid did at my field, he just put the hopper on and duct tapped it, then whenever he missed fired he just had to tilt the hopper, it worked well for him.

Use your normal elbow and tape it onto the gun with duct tape. You just need it for support.

go to ur sportsauthority............they sell viewloader hopper witha 1 inch elbow, make sure it's included:D

Get a piece of one-inch PVC pipe. Then, cut two pieces, one side straight and the other at a 45-degree angle, use those woodblock things for the cut. Get some strong glue like PVC glue or Epoxy and glue it together.

Yes but that elbow comes with a talon. :P

[Zujin]

actaully, that elbow wont fit ceratin guns. dunno...just weild it on.

[Spartan 2]

Well you could get that talon, use the elbo then take it back saying the gun did not work.....I bet even if you kept the elbo they would not notice ( But you would not do that would you )

Tell that to all the vertfeed electro toting monkeys...
Vertfeeds for $$$$ (http://www.888paintball.com/browse.asp?plid=PARTS&csid=844875429520013824380519362925383028068250104 32715&icid=WDP&scid=FEED+ADAPTERS)

How about $33 for a hi-rise? It's a frickin' tube... at least an elbow has a bend in it. :laugh:

[MadSquabble]

keep layering electrical tape on the feed tube so that the elbow fits tight on it....thats what i did.

If you still need a 1" elbow, go to your local hardware store and get a piece of 1"clear rubber tubing. also get 2-1 1/4" hose clamps, the natural curve of the tubing will hold your loader almost straight up and it should only cost about $2.50
