been hunting for a Stocker for years.
Hellion360 commented in a recent (months ago
at this point) thread that he had one he'd be willing to separate with and i had to go for it.
my plan was to set the stocker up with a KFrame, just like my heroes, Jonnydread and BLachance75 π (and Mr.Sergison himself)
thankfully, Dan had an aluminum unit in stock and i didn't have to wait long. was a nice learning lesson to find out the stockers have their own, specifically sized kframes. id only had experience with the pgp length, the stockers are slightly longer. funny enough, the frame showed up Saturday night of Stockstravaganza '26, i was able to throw it together and shot it all day Sunday! heres a nice one of me cooking lunch for the gang, stirring the pot as usual
spydrmn offered to work his G&H magic on ole PS180 and she went home with him for a HOT, SPIRAL PORT! incredible work as always
i was having some very slight feeding issues with the flat, Palmers feed plug. not double feeds but every now and then, id have a jam from pumping faster than things could line up. The feedplug on my stocker was thicker than most of the sizes i had laying around. I was initially planning to have G&H turn me a "parabolic"/ramped plug but ended up finding a
super cheap spyder clone with a powerfeed plug that fit perfectly!
The last upgrade i ruined the pristine, virgin, nickle plated brass goodness with was a detent. paint around here is just too small no matter what brand or grade i tried. i followed my usual method for modifying my other sheridans: spyder style nubbin and cover, with the nubbin hole slotted so the detent can fold out of the way when a ball passes over it. This time was slightly different as the spring + feed..... "bead" wouldve clashed with the full sized cover. I chopped one of the mounting holes off and rounded the edges to make it fit. works great and in my opinion, looks pretty good on there too!
im SUPER STOKED on the SUPER STOCKER
it just feels great in the hands and with the small changes ive made, she performs flawlessly.
looking forward to slinging this one at the next Slim's game! See ya there!
