Mag Pistol: questions about mounting the magazine

Swahny · 06-27-2008, 09:00 AM

Well, i'm off on a new project - an automag pistol. my question for today is; how do I mount the loading system?
Specifically on a right feed twist-lock body. I would like the feed to run backwards towards the valve, much like most paintball pistols.

Any thoughts?

I used high strength epoxy. I was going to DuraCoat the whole shebang anyway, so the color difference was immaterial. Just about with anything else you're looking at some kind of custom built mount.

Luke's stock class milling is the best thing I've seen for something like this. He's still doing them, unless I'm mistaken, and judging by this scathing review on AO, they're quite the talk of the town.

Not the best pic, but I might as well show what progess I have made here and help ya.

I used JB weld, and held it lightly in a vice over night. So far it has survived two days of play. My next step is stripping the cheap paint job I put on for this weekend, and making it look really nice.

I cut the feedneck down, and then milled the bottom of the PT Pro springfeed to fit over the shortened feed neck.

It's the pistol wielding China-man.

Looks good Chaos. I look forward to seeing that in person eventually.

Jb Weld works but any 2 ton epoxy will do the job. I make the mounts for mine out of aluminum and they slip over the body. Requires removal of the feedneck though.

Nice pistol Chaos, how did you mount the 12g changer?

Special ASA I got from Agent Smith. It mounts to where a bicycle grip would mount, using the same screws.

I am going to be repainting this thing soon, what do you guys think of black and camelion paint job?
