Anyone used the ICD stock class feeds?

[Jonnydread]

Talking about this guy. The price is steep, but I like the look. Is this something that would only fit the PRP or could you bolt it onto other guns?

[Handy]

I had one briefly while desperately trying to make the PRP work and if I remember correctly it should work on Empire feedneck stubs. It doesn't have the little lip that those do, but was the right size as far as I remember.

[Jonnydread]

You ever get the PRP figured out? One of my buddies has one and it works pretty well. I had a hard time getting used to it, but I think that was more of a me thing.

[Handy]

I could not in a time frame I was ok with. I talked to ICD, ordered different power tubes/adjusted input pressure and still had issues getting to a useful velocity. The feel of the gun wasn't terrible it had some features I liked, but there were too many little issues for me to hold onto it.

[shooter311]

I have no idea, but I am curious what about it justifies the price?

[Jonnydread]

They're all metal construction which I'm sure is part of it, otherwise it's probably just small production numbers and such.

[Mr. Hick]

ICD is primarily a firearms component manufacture now and they don't care if they make 20 of these and only 5 sell. Also, I paid 25? for a delrin autococker parts one. So an all aluminum one that's anno'd.... 90 seems like a small profit margin

[Loophole]

I was looking into one as well and curious about how they feed. I ended up finding an old Palmers Stick feed made out of brass that has a very similar design at about 1/3 the price. I love it so far! So I'm sure these will work well. Just questioning the price tag.

[Jonnydread]

Totally agree, hence my curiosity from users. I have a PPS stick feed as well and I love it.

Bit the bullet and ordered one, going to see if it works on Empire spec necks and potentially use it on a new Inception build. I will update with pics and measurements when it arrives.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Nice! Gold ⭐️ for the day! Looks like it’s got a detent style feed gate instead of the CCI sock lock style.

[Chuck E Ducky]

If it fits empire that would be awesome as it would make a great option for CCM owners because there are Angel to Empire adapters readily available. I also have a few of the empire mounts for the SC phantom body. Probably more expensive then buying a regular CCI SC feed but it’s nice to have options.

I sent ICD an email this morning asking about another run of lever changers inquiring about how many interested parties they would need to make a run worth it for them. Maybe we can crowd find it if need be. I wouldn’t mind getting a few extra to custom Ano match for a few projects. (Not to get off topic, but off topic lol)

[Lt. head-shot]

Yeah I keep running into problems where I would like to put a good SC feed on a cocker, but don't want to go with 3d printed options. There was a design by TJD I keep running across that I am going to talk to SSC about doing a run based off that concept. It is so frustrating not to have options. I would be in for a lever changer, I keep getting them and then selling them cause I need cash, would really like to keep one around this time.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I keep hinting to Mozak to do a run of those feeds he prints in aluminum. I’m sure they would sell easily even if they are on the more expensive side due to material costs. I have an old Sanchez that’s all aluminum I really like fits in a standard feeneck. But I would pay handsomely for a nice spider style feed like the one I have on my CCM J6 build. I would buy one for each of my CCM pieces.

[Lt. head-shot]

Confirmed, locks on to empire/inception feeds.

[Jonnydread]

Oh science

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh hell yeah! What type of feed gate it use? It’s all aluminum to right?

[Chuck E Ducky]

I wonder how that would work on my FLE emek… hummm

[Lt. head-shot]

Did some swapping. I am 99.89% sure it is all aluminum, but I do not know if it is all the same alloy. A CCI feed will cram into the "elbow" portion, and the ICD feed gate will just barely cram on to the CCI feed tube. The CCI feedgate will not work on the ICD tube without modification (CCI is a little too big). The feed gate is like the old Sheridan/PPS style, where you cram a tube far enough to depress the lever of the feed gate, dump the balls and then when you extract the tube the lever flips up and holds the balls in. I may try to source a carbon fiber tube for the top since my build will feature CF heavily.

Overall very nice build quality. I recently PM'd tjd10684 to see if his design for an empire/ID spec stock class feed came to fruition, but have not heard back. I was considering getting a run (based off that design) made by a machinist (with TJD permission), but this may be a better solution so that we are not infringing on TJD's work. At the moment the only thing I wish was that the screw placement for the screw that secures the feed to the body was on the "rear" side of the gun. That way the front was super smooth and flowed a bit nicer. I might email ICD about doing a run of just the front bit, if making CCI bits work ends up fruit-full. Might help lower the cost.

[Lt. head-shot]

Oh FYI I just found this out. The ICD feedgate is made too small for the "smoked" 10 round tubes. You can get it in there but the fit is very tight and not a quick reload. With a bit of tape it looks like you can get the CCI feedgate to stay on the ICD tube, and so I'm going to run it that way from now on. Only other issue I can see is that I wish the feedtube had some slots in it to be able to see how many balls you had left, like most other SC feeds.

[Chuck E Ducky]

There aren’t slots in the feed? It looks like it has slots in the pictures. That kind of stinks about the newer style tubes not fitting well.

[Lt. head-shot]

There are slots in the elbow part but not on the main tube. Side bonus is if you remove the tube all together you can use the screw to tension that area and cram the smoked tubes into the elbow directly, making it like the PTP and CCM cram n' jam.
