Smile Straight feedthrough elbow.

Hey guys I was just wondering if any straight feedthrough elbow would fit on my Spyder Victor II. Or do I have to buy a specific elbow? And straight elbows are better than bent correct?

Please help me I just bought my gun and really want to play. Thanks guys

If the elbow is adjustable, either through wingnuts or screws with allen wrench fittings, it -should- fit your Victor II. That said, your mileage may vary.

However, can I ask why you're looking for an elbow? If you spend a bit more, you could get a clamping feedneck which would negate the need for an elbow.

Indeed
Clamping feednecks will make your profile lower, hold your hopper better, and will never break, so you won't have to keep spending money on elbows

The feedneck on a Victor isn't removable as far as I know. Straight elbows are needed on markers with a vertical feed and the bent ones are used for offset feeds. Your victor is a vertical feed so you would need a straight elbow unless you wanted your hopper hanging sideways.

It should come off, either screw on or with tabs or holes

So a clamp is better. Will this clamp. Spyder Clamping Feed Neck With holes BLUE Feedneck AXC - eBay (item 370230824523 end time Sep-14-09 16:31:16 PDT)

Fit this gun? http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/large_im.../200771216.jpg

If so do I need to just get two screws and all I woulh have to do is put the hopper on top?

That seems like too much effort for a $50 marker. I don't really see the problem with elbows I only own one and it serves triple duty on my Automag, Stroker and Hurricane and not once has my hopper fallen off or the elbow so much as cracked. As long as you splurge for a clamping elbow your hopper isn't going anywhere.

If you are going to go with a clamping feedneck make sure you have better than a gravity hopper. The blowback can cause problems with paint feeding properly.

Yes it will fit
Take the screws off the stock feedneck, and attach the new clamping feedneck with the same screws

Then open up the lever, stick your hopper in, close lever, and you're ready to rock!

right now I have a gravity hopper, but Im looking to get a halo. Also what do you guys think of that marker? would it be fine for woodsball? and how about this spyder flash? Kingman Spyder Flash EMarker Paintball Marker - eBay (item 120465995634 end time Sep-10-09 15:58:50 PDT)

I know the flash is better since it is electric but could it work in speedball?

I'd even use a clamping feedneck on a shake n' bake hopper

But Craw does have a point, maybe you should invest in a nice hopper as well
The VL Eye-Force and the Invert Too are amazing and can be had for $50 and $60 respectably

And I don't ever think that there's been a rule saying that you can't use electro markers for speedball

A friend of mine said he saw the Halo Toos on ebay $50 BIN free shipping recently. If so, that's a great price for them. They're a bit faster than the EyeForce, but don't hold as many paintballs.
