I know this isnt the hopper forum but since it is us pumpers that use them I figured it should go here......Anyway I did this because I dont have 10 round feeds and dont want to buy some seeing as I also dont have a harness for them (or money).

I started with a regular BE pocket hopper and ripped off the lid. I took a sharp point (knife not advised) and poked a small hole where I wanted the flaps to go through. I then took a small flathead screwdriver (or staking type tool) and enlarged the whole into a rectangular shape big enough for a small ziptie to go through. I then put the ziptie through from the inside out and went in a circle to latch it so that the flaps would be arching outward. i did that as many times as needed (6 for me). Then I held the base of where the ziptie starts so that the end would be where I wanted and hot glued the base of the ziptie to the hopper. Once you do that to all the flaps, you're done.

NOTE: the flaps will be stiff so you'll have to bend them back and forth to to soften them. Must use the 4 in. x 1/8 in. (ish) for this to work properly.


And now for the finished pics....

pretty clever use for"fingers", and it looks very clean. Good job

[p8ntxxxball]

thats cute...

Why don't you just cut a hole on the hopper lid for 10 round tubes, if that is what your using it for. Anyways, still a very nice job, very clean.

I dont have 10 round tubes....or use them for that matter....plus I wanted to be original and come up with something myself

[NewbKilla]

Very nice!

i've seen people use that method for they're halo and stuff, but yeah. nice.

[Glockmaster1]

Ya but they have speed feeds out for halos...and I wouldnt want to worry about cracking my halo shell when i could spend 10 bux for a speedfeed....but i like lids on my halo; i just did this cause the lids on these sux

[Yomama101]

Nice Work.

Not very original...


Used only w/ 10 round tubes because they are too stiff to bend under the weight of 50 balls

[F0rgiven]

is that a winchester? hard to see.

[abr5]

Yeah, its a Winchester

[Glockmaster1]

My goal was to use with PODS....not 10 round tubes....(like I've said 3 times)....so it's still original

Lets be realistic here, i've seen "speed feed" pocket sized hoppers aside from yours and the thread starters. And pumpenstian(sp?) used speed feeds on thier hoppers [althugh actual sized]. Difference is the materials used and his "design" if you will of the fingers i found original and usual. Otherwise homebrewed speedfeed's on hoppers pretty much lost any originalty.

is the knife how you got that sweet cut on your thumb?

pretty much. I didn't say mine was original
Good thing I didn't put my foot in my mouth with that one.

that was just a spot where my a deep amount of skin got rubbed off when i was riding a quad for 7 hours.....and about the originality, i didnt know about otehr peeps cause I have only been into the pump "community" for like 2 weeks

[Potz4Prez]

Now try shaking it.

[Glockmaster1]

I did....I actually thought about throwing at the wall cept the shell would prolly break......nothin came out and I shook it HARD

put a vid of you dumping balls in and holding it upside down then i might try it,it doesnt look like it works and in the pics the hopper isnt full is that because you were worryied about it not working
