    Post Automags/Minimag Warp Bodies from AGD.

    Now you can get a Warp Body for your Auto/Minimag. AGD is making both mainbody versions with the shortened feed tube so you can use the standard length plug on the top and the warp feed hose on the bottom. We had a few at IAO and they were all polished. I don't know if they have any black ones or if they will do the same kind of exchange on them as with E-Mag Warp Bodies, but I just thought I'd let you all know that they do exist and if you're looking at getting a new mainbody to make your Warp setup easier and a smaller gun profile, call AGD and ask them about the Auto/Minimag mainbodies. No guarantees on them having some in stock, if they have black or if the have the same exchange on them as with the E-Mag body.

    Good news, good news!

    I have been trying to order a Black HR Minimag body for several months but they are always out of stock at AGD's warehouse. The new Warp Feed body, along with a PTP bracket, should complete my set up nicely. Now I know where my tax rebate is going!

    Keeping my fingers crossed for black...

    Hasta,

    Matt

    EDIT:

    By the way Black, nice shooting on Saturday! We definitely had some good teamwork action going on.

    I would like to purchase a black rt pro style warp feed body right. My present body is a chrome power feed hopper left. I wonder how much it would cost? Black....?

    Well, I don't have a picture of AGD's polished Warp Mainbodies, but here is a pic of my MiniMag with a Warp Right Mainbody. This is what it will look like as compared to the long PF tube you currently have. This isn't a factory AGD Warp Body, but I milled off the feed tube on this Mainbody so it would be the same as a Warp Mainbody. This is a lefty gun, so it will look backwards to you (provided you are right-handed).

    DarkPhoenix- Call AGD and see if they have what you are looking for. I don't work there, so I don't know what they have in stock or how much it will be.

    The ten or so balls he can't fit in his hopper is off-set by the smaller profile. I've got a revy just like that and I'll bet you wont see much of me as I lean out to shoot.

    You also have to remember, what he loses in the loader is made up by the warp. That hose that is running through the loader is filled with balls.

    Whoopty doo... Think a bit harder... Since there are balls in the tube, that area in the hopper where the tube is still has balls. It doesn't decrease the ball capacity by anymore than the thickness of the Warp hose. I could care less about 10 balls less capacity. If I get that low in a game something has gone wrong. That's why I carry pods. So no offense, but think harder before you criticize someone's setup.

    Hey Black, can you give me the exact measurement of what you cut off? Or how much to leave on. I'm gonna do this to mine too. I like the whole idea very much. TIA

    i called this morning
    joanne (sorryif i spelled that wrong!) said they didnt have warp bodies for the regular mag/minimag yet. She said you could get a hopper right body and accomplish the same affect, which i already knew but she was very nice and helpful!

    Well, that's odd that they said they didn't have any. Maybe Joanne doesn't know they have them yet, or are waiting to get more produced and then start selling them. Because at IAO we had a box with I think six of each. Automag and Minimag Warp Left mainbodies. They were all polished.

    Also, you can do this yourself if you have the right tools and a tubing cutter isn't one of them. To do this, I used a vertical mill with a 5/16" end mill. Size of the end mill doesn't matter, you just need to mark your line right where you want to cut it.

    Final length of the feed tube is 1.530" The feed tube should be cut so that your length from one end of the vent hole to the closest end of the feed tube and the other end of the vent hole to the end of the feed tube are equidistant. I cut the long side off a few thousandths so that I could use the set screws in the plug to fine tune the seating depth of it. If you cut it too long, your plug won't get over the edge of the feed tube and you'll have a lip you can't do anything about. You'll have to cut it again to shorten it up. Since you have to use the parabolic PF plugs and since they have the set screws, it's actually better to cut it a bit short.

    To setup the mainbody to be cut, I clamped it in the vise so that the feed tube was along the Y-Axis parallel to the base of the mill, mainbody tube was along the X-Axis and the end mill came down from the Z-Axis. I moved the end mill across the X-Axis to cut off the feed tube and moved the knee up a reasonable amount for each cut. Move the knee up instead of the spindle down to cut the feed tube. You want to lock the spindle in as close to the Ram as possible for tool stability. Just take your time and pay attention to what you are doing. Make sure the mainbody is held tightly and use a bit of coolant since you're cutting SS.

    If you have anymore questions, let me know.

    black vcg, i was wondering if it was difficult to get a grip on your foregrip with your right hand with your warp there. it seems like your forearm would be rubbing it alot but i could be wrong.

    You'd have to hold it for yourself to see, but the way I have it setup, my right hand touches nothing but the foregrip.

    Well actually the balls in the tube do nothing. the wheel is what works. Cuz if you have nothing in the wheel, nothing loads. Unless you want to turn your gun upside down and then kinda tilt it, and you'll be able to shoot those. But the paint in the tube just puches the other balls. If im wrong, correct me, but all I know is the balls in my tube dont do me much good.

    P.S. not trying to flame.

    ENDO!

    I just called AGD and they said they don't have warpbodies for guns besides the RTPro and the EMag! NO! If they in fact DID have some sort of exchange policy, and it was cheap I might have done it... Anyone know if they are going to have these soon? Or if anyone who has done the feedtube cutting would like to make a few bucks, Id pay for a warpbody conversion thingy!

    ENDO!

    Note that the hole in BlackVCG's hopper is going to be in a different location because of his Z-Grip. If you have a regular grip frame it should be more like this:

    I kinda like the cut he made in his revvy. That way if he sees his hopper empty, he still can shoot if neccesary and then reload. When I see my hopper empty, I usually get shot trying to reload or will run out and shoot blanks at people.

    I carefully used a Dremel. You can use a hole cutter, but you're best off using a drill press for this and not by hand.
