OKay OKay.... i've been looking around on where to find a milling company that would change my gun from right feed to center/vert feed.... inless you know where one is... i'm thinking i have ot do it myself... how do i go about doing this? .... i was thinkming about cutting off the right feed, then drilling a vertical hole, then drilling in threads.. then screwing in a vert feed adaptor...

.... will that work.. i mean... will it..?

lol.. thanks guys/gurls:D :eyes: :drop:

I really don't know how exactly that would work. I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you could figure out a way. I think that it would be much more time efficient to buy a vertical feed cocker body. I also think that it would look alot better if you went with a vertical feed body rather than modifying your right feed body.

well i was trying to look up some information for you. I've seen a sit on how a professional machine shop owner in europe converted his right feed cocker to vertical feed, and it takes a good amount of percision to do a good job. I suggest you take it to a pro, who knows what the heck he's doing. If not you could mess it up, and you'll end up buying a new body anyway. I'll try to look for the site for you again.

to get it made it to one would probably be close to the price of buying a new body, why not just get a nice new body? like with some nice anno or milling on it? that would be much cooler ;)

Yea, I'd go with a new body too, it would probably cost just about the same to get it converted, plus this way you can get something really cool looking like venom said

hey.. yeah.. i'm rilly emmbarest to tell ya guys.. but even though i do da tourneys 'n' shtuff.... i haven't bought a 12 volt rezy.. hehe.... so i'm getting one this weekend at a tourney and i should hope it will solve the problem i got which is why i want vert feed.... (shooting to fast.. gravity hopper won't keep up... chops..) so i'll get that first.. then if it won't solve my problem... i'll get the vert feed body (if theres no body that will convert it cheaply enough) .... if you got any other ideas.. it would be most helpful... thank you

If I don't use a revvy with my Impulse I get a few shots then I have to shake the hopper.:)

ok guys i dont want to flame here but you guys have guns that are that much money and capable of shooting that much paint and i assume you play a decent amount of time say once a week? speedballer why didnt you just not buy one upgrade for that cocker and you to venom and buy a revy they are like 60 bucks. or just not play for a week or 2? man without a revy i couldnt play paintball anymore. i tried a mag with out one at the michigan monster game last year and i felt really dumb skaing my hopper while trying to shoot alot i mean when you shoot that much paint at someone at a game where there is around 1000 per team it is kinda nuts

how you could shoot anything other than a pump and not have a revy is beyond me...ive had them since the newbie days back in the woods with my spyder. (umm...i mean..... i never played woods....honest...:rolleyes: , well at least i got smart about 4 years ago and got on a speedball field, never left since....never will!)
