id imagine they work pretty good but they look like crap. -

They've been done before.
Keep in mind that a plastic elbow on your feed neck is a sort of "fuse". It breaks to keep the gun's feed neck or the loader's neck from breaking.
A $4 elbow is much cheaper than a new set of HALO shells or having the feed neck pressed back in or rewelded to your gun body.
Fact of the matter is, 'til somebody redesigns the loader-to-gun attachment method, we're stuck with the legacy thin, fragile feed neck arrangement, which was designed years ago to hold up unpowered, thin plastic 40-round loaders. Today we're using an only slightly beefed-up version, to hold two-pound loaders filled with batteries and motors and another pound of paint, and we're running faster, swinging the gun faster, and taking huge dives and tuck-and-rolls into bunkers.
I am constantly patching Angel-threaded bodies, when the feed neck strips out. Those bodies don't have the "fuse" of a cheap, replaceable, breakable elbow, so the next weakest point is the thin threads where the neck attaches to the body.
