Hello, I've been following this thread and the other one about the RAP4 mag for awhile and I like the "hopper" mod below the gun. I have an AT85 and I want to create my own mod. What I'm thinking is the M249 box magazine style. I already have the hopper adapter but has a somewhat awkward feel to it.
Before I start, I have a question about the feeding system. Was it a Reloader B or Reloader B2? What other hopper systems or what would you recommend that I could use that will force balls vertically?
I going to buy this and try to mod it. Maybe I'll have to weld 16 gauge sheet metal to resemble the box mag and go from there but the weight would be too much.
The m249 box mag dimensions are 197x160x80mm. I constructed a cardboard box of the stated dimensions, which roughly held 500+ rounds. That estimate is without the internal parts, AT85 mag and the diagonal slant that the box mag has. Perhaps around a 400 +/- round capacity. After typing this up, I think I'll go with the prefab airsoft box mag for time and cost of building my own from the ground up. Another thought, perhaps I will fabricate my own box mag and reduce the size/capacity for weight and aesthetic purposes. What you think?
