How To Put An Ego Frame On A Mag

[Nicholai]

why over engineer things?

I was just thinking of a solution to what appeared to be issues at hand,

1) fear of noid leaking.... I have no idea if it does or not, but I'm sure there must be some advantage to having the full size noids and/or the ability to use noids you might already have in your possession from other guns.

2) Ability to use other frames such as inteli frame etc and then in turn allows for the use of more common rams that are already easily modded for that frame and others....

3) Could also possibly hold the lpr?? Or make it easy to put the LPR sticking out the front under the barrel like a lot of other p-mags do, then u could route the hose to the noid easily right there.

But I agree I am going to do this mod exactly like how it was already done (gonna have to use an 05 ego frame though), I just need a firm answer on what ram to use. But I thought I would share my idea with others as I like to dream and know the users on the board are great at making some killer mags and might like the idea. Also would remind me of an invert mini.

how ever you do it is fine. Just showing one possibility and that it works.

Any word on the ram you used????? type, make, model?

How about some places to buy actuators in general, I'm ok with trying a few out but I can't seem to find anywhere that has a descent selection.

I was just lookng at your ram you used.

Looks ALMOST like mine. Mine is a bit longer and slightly deeper but drops into the I-frame with no milling required. Whats the width of that EGO frame internally?

My bore is larger too,... Im using an 8mm bore. I was going to try the 6mm & 4mm bore but between gas usage and the stoke to strike force on the sear using an R/T on-off.... 8mm as the way to go.

the 8mm was 16mm wide and didn't fit as i remeber. It could be thinner if other mounting options were choosen.

compact automations. is one. You would need a business license to be able to order direct. Google what you need and many options come up. I have not taken the time to find out about the ram yet.

Thanks that would be awesome!


I tried looking for compact automations and no joy, also looked around for just generic actuators and not having much luck either. If anyone has a good link that would be very appreciated.

# Voltage: 12 and 24 VDC
# Power: 1.2 watt / 1.35 watt with/LED
# Response Time: < .010 seconds



voltage is too high for an ego board.
Power consumption is higher
10milisecond response is ok, but slow.

Edit: cv is low too

im not too savvy with this sorta thing. im gonna need to learn some more about this. were there any other options on that site that would work?

I bought an 06 ego frame off e-bay and put a mpa-3 in it. Just have to shave it down like you do for a pneumag. I believe the o6 frames are a bit wider than the 05. Picked it up for $120 with maniac board. Should be done with most of the frame soon, and will put up some pics. I am gonna have a few surprises with this thing so am excited to get er done.

after i finish my o5 frame, ill pick up an 07 frame and try it. this seems to be an easy mod for the most part. im going to run out of mags to put frames on lol.

Really looking forward to seeing some pictures of that! I love the 06 frame the best, and the I'm curious to see what u can get out of that maniac board as it can be set above 15bps!! How sure are you that the 06 frame is wider? DO u think I can cram that sucker in an 05 or forget about it....
