| Strengths: |
Made of metal, one piece twist tight, and no hassle |

| Weaknesses: |
The grinding noise from the twisting (very minor). |
|
| Review: |
Well this is what I notice...
1. Made of metal, won't have to worry about cracking
2. It replaces the tube feed, so no worries of it scratching/breaking/ruining the tube feed
3. The ring on top screws to a fit of your desire, get it if you don't want to deal nuts and screwdrivers.
4. As for it securing the fit on my hopper, it does the job.
5. I didn't try any other hopper. But to the looks of it, you don't have to worry about sanding, taping the hopper into this feed neck.
6. The height of this feed neck seem shorter than my plastic elbow. I like it that way, but I guess that's personal perference.
7. When twisting the ring, you might hear a grinding annoy sound. It's very minor. But if that annoys you, it can be easily corrected by putting more grease (comes with a bit of grease already) inbetween the metal ring and its feed neck adapter. But if ya like me and don't want to deal with those stuff, use P.T.F.E tape and it'll work just fine.
8. There are two design for this feed neck, with ears and no ears, depending on the type of Kingman vertical feed markers you have.
9. Also comes in black and chrome color |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great product, a nice way to solve your problem if you're having trouble with ya plastic elbow breaking. |

| Strengths: |
It isn't made of cheap |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It is sometimes tough to tighten |
|
| Review: |
This product lowers the hopper to the gun, making it more compact and it seems to balance the gun more.
With this product you dont need those cheap plastic elbows that crack if tightened to much and seem to come loose
It fits all hoppers without sanding or tape or anything
It is sometimes tough to tighten it all the way because the hopper is closer to the gun |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall it is a good upgrade, no fumbling with plastic elbows and it probably lasts longer than the plastic things. |

| Weaknesses: |
Trouble finding the perfect tightness |
|
| Review: |
This is something every Spyder owner should have. If you are sick of breaking cheap plastic elbows and want to lower your profile and make you gun look cool get this. the ONLY drawback i had is that i had a hard time making it so i could not move my hopper at all but i guess everything isn't perfect. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you break elbows alot like me get this you won't be dissapointed |

| Review: |
I bought this product after hearing great reviews. Although the Fenix did come stock with a tightening feedneck i hated the fact i needed a screw driver to do it.This feed neck has worked great and has kept the loader in its place. They now make these i many colors such as green, black,blue and black.The only reason i no longer use this feedneck is because i have found other with an even lower profile. This product is easy to install.I did find that tighteningthe clamp was difficult with wet hand or hand with paint on them. Lapco should look inot maybe getting a couple of ridges on the clamp to make for better grip |
|
| Conclusion: |
Would recomend this to any one. Much better than using those ugly Plastic high rise fittings. with this it will stay low and stay on |

| Review: |
i bought this feedneck for my spyder TL-X and it holds my revvy decently. after a few games it loosens up but that isnt really a big problem. i like how it holds the hopper lower than the stock elbows do and i love how its shiny( i have a thing with shiny). |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its a good buy but it doesnt deserve a 10. |

|
| Review: |
I first installed and it looked great right away. Only thing i had to do was take out to screws with a phillips head screwdriver, then take off the old feedneck, put the Lapco feedneck in its place, and rescrew the screws back in. I could tell immediately that it made my marker tighter. I didnt have any problems with fitting the hopper in, no sanding or anything necessary. The chrome finish looked great with my black e-99 with the silver splash. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would suggest getting this product. I havent had a single problem with it, i picked it up on ebay for like 4 bucks. At that price this item is a true steal, instantly solving problems that arise dealing with plastic elbows. |

|
| Review: |
Does exactly what you hope it will--holds that hopper in there!
I like the fact that there is no thread exposure or vent holes. If you take a hit in the feed-neck it doesn't get paint pressed into the feedneck and screw up your ball dropping.
The only negative I can come up with is that the glossy finish on the parts gets really slippery if you get paint on it and then try to un-screw it.
I had to lube up the threads when I first got it to help it tighten down and loose smoothly.
The empire reloader 2 feed neck had to be sanded just a little bit to get it to fit without having to "gorilla-force" it into the feed-neck. Not a big issue. You should expect to sand a feed-neck pretty much for anything....
I give it a 9 because of the finish making it slippery if paint is on it. IF they did a knurled finish on the locking ring you could grip it even if there was paint all over it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Excellent piece. Holds hopper firmly. |

| Review: |
I bought this feedneck with holes to replace my stock plastic feednack that came on my e-99 avant. I paid like 24 dollars and I am satisfied with it. The only thing that I dont like is that when you put the hopper in there and screw it tight the hopper isnt all the way stable. Also when you screw it tight it feels like its gonna crack. It is very lightweight and it made from metal(i think). It does not come with the screws so make sure you keep the ones that came with your gun. Make sure you know what kind to get. What I mean by this is does your stock feedneck have holes or tabs.(my friend got the wrong 1)Well i hope you find this review helpful and I hope this helps to make your decision. |
|
| Conclusion: |
You should buy this if you want a good looking feedneck and want a lower profile but remember that it feels a little cheap. |

| Review: |
I'm very happy with my feedneck, so far i've used it with both my Ricochet AK and Halo B loaders. I used to have problems with plastic elboes not hold my loader when doing some muneuvers (diving and such) but buying this completely eliminated that. The metal is nice to, don't have to worry about it cracking. it also lowered my gun profile by an inch or so, which is never bad. The only problem i have with it though, is that it's hard to reach the screws with a screw driver. if you just take off the top piece you'll be fine. not a big deal |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all i am ecstatic with this product, it is a great buy, enjoy |

| Review: |
This item really sucks, I give them credit for making it look really nice, but, its terrible. No matter how loose you loosen it and put your hopper in, you can not get it to tighten up tight enough without a wrench to keep your hopper in. Most of the guns that have any shake to them from the action of the bolt, like all spyders, the hopper with work itself loose and shimmy up until it falls out leaving you with a broken hopper and all shot up.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
I found a item at the paintball store that was only 10 dollars that could be used with my stock part on my spyder, this one slipped over that neck and clamped on with a decent sized allen wrench to hold it in, and then you push your hopper down inside of it, its made by java or something like that, but, if you get your hopper pushed down in it far eough, it wont come out, way better then the lapco neck. |
