alright, nice work figuring it out. i can wait to see what you've come up with.Originally Posted by ZoomZ@PTP
and I just realized its even later where you guys are so go get some sleep.
Forest, Tracy,
this is more or less what i have planned for my Micros:
now ain't that sexy!
ok, here are the renderings of the micros with 2 detents and will now go from centerfeed to 45 left or right to 90 left or right.
Very nice !
It was really hard to leave, but I did not want to over stay my welcome. Talking to Tracy and Forest was like talking to living paintball encyclopedias.Originally Posted by Tracy_ptp
One of the many items I got to see and hold on my tour was the Purple Armson Semi... And the book you see below. Let me tell you, it is one thing to read about a paintball marker but when you have the guy that designed and build it give you a personal tour, lets just say it was a very cool day. can't wait for my next visit.

Tracy, deposit sent.
Keep up the good work
GOSH, how are you guys sleeping at night???
You have made an already fun and fantastic body even better, WOW good stuff.
You are making my micromag 2000 look like a Pinto and this new micromag 2009 to look like a Rolls Royce.
WOW! That red looks INCREDIBLE (especially since my X valve is red !! , umm, and my barrel set is red/black, umm, and my warp is red along with my revy, and umm, well you get the picture!)
Man that's nice...still glad I sent my deposit in sight unseen. How thick is the bottom area where the detent channel is now?Originally Posted by Tracy_ptp
Also, if you can work out a backbottle ASA, that would be super sweet. One of the things I considered was a pistol version, with a center feed, angel threaded elbow adapter and springfed mags that slide on over the dovetail. Backbottle ASA would be a convenient place to plug in a 12 gram changer!
Mayvik, that sounds like a fun setup
The newest renderings look great. I'm looking forward to the finished product
Keep up the great work!
THX!

what polishing method did you use?Originally Posted by Tracy_ptp
polishing metal is what I do, and the method(s)
i use wont effect tolerances in the slightest.
close fits were always an issue an several of my former employers.
one was accurate to -0.0005" at 68*F and that was a nightmare.
I'm just one guy so i couldn't polish an entire production run in
a reasonable time frame, but i could come to where you are and show you
how to do what i do. then the ball would be in your court.
im curious here just cause i was up till 3am woke up at 7am and now its 1am and im just now seeing the new renderings. but why not shave the entire front of flat instead of the channel? im just curious its probaly something simple but im to fuzzy right now for it to make sense. regardless i must say im really liking the look of these

CP volumizer

dend, it was to get rid of the gap between the breech and body for a better look. it probably would have to be a full channel though. it could just be a recessed circle where the detent would be since the breech is lowered in place.
and off-topic : ptp is a couple blocks from Forest Ave. ? (yellow road just south of the "A")

I love Portland, ME. What a beautiful area! And you can't spit on a corner without hitting a brewery or pub!
At that intersection take a right and then your next driveway right. You should call or email them before you drop by just to be courteous and make sure they are there. Oh, and plan on at least a couple hours, there is a lot of stuff to view.Originally Posted by Engus
I hate to add to the abundance of requests already here, but could you illustrate/describe how the 45 degree setting will work. Will there be a basic feedneck attachment that will then be utilized by a elbow?
I'm one of those few 'freaks' who actually uses a red-dot on my mag and having hopper left or right is ideal for me.
Even if I don't buy, thank you PTP for all of your efforts on behalf of the 'mag community.

Just an idea to toss out to ptp (might help with the battery case issue). Since I have been asked this a few times already, thought I might pass it on.
if you would want to redesign a new battery pack to fit the design, I would be more then willing to do the battery work to fit the new casing. I can use nice small size Li-ion cells to fit any design, so you wouldn't be restricted to a huge battery.

Very simple and easy to do .
The channel below the breach block is the only way i could get the detents to clear the body when the breach block is at 90L and 90R .
The lower rail thickness is .235 , allowing just enough thread depth for the front grip screw and being made of 7075 give us the strength and hardness to eliminate any flex or bending .

We need to include the feed tube in the drawings (7/8" tube - Angel threads). 45 will allow you to use a standard loader elbow. Don't forget that Armson sights can be used behind a vertical feed: www.armsonusa.com.Originally Posted by Severe
since the feed doesn't rotate, but is aligned into the various positions, do you need the detent slot?
wouldn't a detent hole in the center and a relieved edge for the 45 positions work?
Is that the guy from Minority Report in the background?Originally Posted by doc_Zox

With all the meat left on the body, couldn't you just mill some picatinny rails on to it?
