VL force and cocker barrel

[cheapguitarscheapthrills]

*ALL SOLD* please remove

Got a box of random stuff with an Etek purchase

VL Force electric hopper. Not super familiar with them, looks like revvy inside. Pretty clean but has a cracked lid at the hinge, and slight separation towards the backside but seems solid enough. Put a battery in it and she runs, nice and loud like old times! Would make a good pump/mech loader. Comes with the original manual and stickers! Edit* I installed the speed feed I had kicking around $30

No name autococker threaded barrel (feel free to chime in if you know what it is) spiral porting bore is clean no scratches inside or out that I noticed $15

Prices shipped in the lower 48 bundle and save!

Oh man, buddy of mine had that hopper. They don't stop once you turn them on. They just continually spin and slap the paint in the raceway.

I will say though if anyone is looking for a little project, they are kind of fun to mod and put a sensor in to stop the feed when you are not shooting. We modded my buddies to be a "touch force" where we put a switch in the raceway, when paint was pressed up against it. It stopped the motor, then when it fell into the breach the motor would spin more. I'm sure there's other solutions as well.

I want to say that barrel is from a psychobalistics cocker. At least that's what it's striking me as right now

I was thinking one of the budget WGPs but can't say for sure. Thanks of the insight!

They actually made them with eyes. I’ve got a Force & an EyeForce. Not bad feeding loaders at all.

I would keep it but I've got the Valken VSL and basically use it to fill 10rd tubes 😂

Hoppers like the force aren't great but for what they are if it just happens to be in the bag when a loader goes down they work and feed paint in a pinch but yes they are loud and awkwardly huge

One of my favorite hoppers when they were still around were the torque loaders, they continuously spin as well but if you take the cone apart and flip every other magnet in the cone when the stack is full the magnets hold the cone from spinning, you can still hear the motor hum and I'm sure it's not very good for it but it made it one hell of a force feed loader, really small very light loader and if you get the loud mouth shells they are easier to load, might have to pick one up if I can find one

I got retrofitted a Force to run off of an Empire Reloader II board, so it's sound-activated.

Oh that's a good idea. What all needed to be modded?

Very little, as I recall. I had some spare 9v battery clips to solder together a quick little in-series rig and connect it to the Reloader board's battery leads. Hooked the motor inputs up the same way to the little wiring connector on the Reloader board so that it would spin for half a second after it heard a shot. To mount the board I just drilled four holes in the bottom of the loader tray- one for the board's only button, one for its status LED, and two to loop a zip-tie around it to keep it snug to the bottom of the tray.

Dang that's pretty cool. A sleeper hopper build for sure
