Nose down Mr. Bulletfeeder to Starsizer

[Doublej]

I thought some of you might be interested in a solution I came up with to accomplish this. I used a piece of cutting board and dremeled it out. It works basically flawless if the powder coating of the bullets is nice and uniform. I sometimes have a problem of excess powder coating from the bullets sticking together and making a little bur when pulled apart. This usually only gets caught up in the stargazer feeder tube and not the mr. bulletfeeder. If someone could do this with a 3d printer it would be much nicer!!!. Anyways its proof of concept and plan to use it till Mr. bulletfeeder comes out with the official nose down adapter. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The attachment links don't work, and I don't know how to fix them.

I can't see them either.

[Doublej]

I'll try to figure out a hosting solution to post them, it a close up shot of the cutting board. Does the YouTube video work?

Does the YouTube video work?

Yes it does.

Works for me and it is cool!

[rancher1913]

that is really cool. my first thought upon seeing the photo of the part was that's pretty rinkydink, but man does it ever work slick. thanks for sharing that.

hay smoke4320 are you seeing an opportunity here for your 3d printer.

[Doublej]

The idea behind it being two parts is in theory could use different bullet sizes using a different size "shim". I only load 9mm on it so I'm not sure how 45 would work.

[Doublej]

If made on a 3D printer you could also attach the drop tube to the actual shim

Looks like a winner.

I can watch the video all day long. I really like the spring steel "Kicker" that boots the bullets that ride on top out of the way. The whole set up is slick and ingenious.

[Doublej]

Can't take credit for the kicker, that is all part of the Mr. bulletfeeder design which is meant to feed bullets base down. I only made that little shim and moved the bullet catch over to the other side.

That is awesome!!

Isn't there anyone else who could machine those modified nose down guides? It looks like a pretty simple design, I have some pretty detailed photos of it. Need to ask Rick for permission before posting them I guess.

I am sure that many of us would be glad to give Rick his cut just to be able to get them in our hands....

No doubt! From what I can see, the conversion seems to work flawlessly, so I don't really understand why it isn't out yet.

[woodbutcher]

Me thinks that that cutting board material could be machined with a router with carbide bits very easily.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

I suppose there is a chance he doesn't have a patent on a nose down modification yet.

I talked to owner of Double Alpha at the SHOT Show for about 5 minutes. He said that there are some testers out there with nose down units and that it is easy and only needed a new "plastic piece" to make his unit do it. I said so We will be seeing this soon so it's so easy. He kinda smiled and said that it won't be soon. I thanked him for his time, went 6 booths over and ordered the other guys bullet feeder who spent 5 minutes with me we figured out how to do both types of feed with his. Once I get it up and running I will start a spate post on it.
