I just finished the drawings for a new 8mm hopper for the belt loaders. I need to make one from templates to check all the dimentions and fit. I will have finished hoppers and kits for those who want to build thier own. a rendering of the parts is attached.

I'm in for one Pirate!

Im in for 1.

PM me with the details.

Will this be for modifying the modern .308 loaders to load 8mm?

I'm in for one kit, and two finished ones.

it is an entire new hopper for the 308 loader, you keep the old one intact.

I would be interested in one but I would also be interested in obtaining a .308 belt loader to convert. Anyone know where to get one?

check rtg, northridge intl and I think the ammo store.

call and ask at Allegheny at MG34.com ....although he says he is out on the web site, he sometimes has the items but doesn't list them if he is really low. Also, check coles at http://www.coledistributing.com/. They might be out also,

UPDATE! Robertrtg has loaders back in stock

The website on Robert RTG says out of stock. Anyways I would still be interested in a conversion kit. Thank you all for the info. I guess I need to look a little bit harder before asking questions .

I put my order in for another one so I will have one in .308 and one in 8mm. I have one of fxo's conversions. That way I can have 2 loaders going at the same time at the range so I can keep up with the demands of my friends.

I think RTG has some or is receiving some. A friend was able to order from him last week.

look half way down the page. In big red letters it says back in stock. At the bottom it says out of stock. So I don't know which is correct.

The person selling those did a group buy at weaponeer. There were extra ones from when
he finally delivered the loaders. Here's a link to Gnbrkr where he has one up for sale:

I plan on selling these as both kits and completed hoppers. I will add some holes to the parts so those of you who can't weld can pop rivet them together. I plan on ordering 20 sets of parts, and planned on selling the kits for $45.00 and assembled ones for $70.00. i
the next step in quantity for a price break is 40 sets, if there are at least 30 of you interested I will order 40 sets and pass along the savings, this will put the kits at $35.00 and finished hoppers at $60.00

They will be quality parts, I just got an order of pistol lowers in from them and they look excellent, photos below.

Pirate--

Great Job!!! Please put me on the list for an assembled hopper.

Umm Stan, is that a picture of the hopper, or of the new lower receiver for the Pirate's Plinker?

These are the pirate plinker lowers. I got them last week, they look great and fit great, I am really pleased with how they came out. the hopper parts will be the same precision cut and bent parts as these. I am almost ready to ship the pistol kits. I need to spot weld in the bracket in the lower and test the templates. The project has taken a lot longer to finish, but it is all top quality parts and builders should have a 100% success rate with them.
