AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Very cool mod and not meant to lessen the project, but it's not really a new concept. Talks of doing something like that has been around for many years (10+?)
I will update it to state design. I realize that many have wanted to make numerous modifications over the years. I got full of myself to make a statement of "concept". It was really poor phrasing on my part.
I guess I haven't seen anyone take the effort or make the financial commitment/risk yet. Using an existing cocker frame to complete the mod has to receive some originality points?
I am excited that XMT & I brought forth a working prototype after 10+ years of RnD.
Thanks to everyone for the great comments. It is the AO community that MAGS everything possible!

Nice work! I guess the already high value of Eclipse Blades just went up even more!
So your regulator is on the tank? I agree doing a frame with build in asa adapter would be cool looking. Pending price and funds I would be interested. Pneumag options even?
I use the centerflag dynaflow reg with good results. I think it could use a rebuild... I would like to have the dove tail milled into the frame and get a stubby tank. Actually I would like to rig it up similar to a mini/axe...
i like the concept of the pneumags but I am not very familiar with their setup. I want to add a pic with the grips off but been too busy to get more photos. Maybe someone with more experience can add their two cents.
Another Eclipse Hinge frame is on its way!!!!! I think there will be a second one in the works.
If anyone else has this frame and wants to try to work out a deal with XMT, then let me know. It may take awhile to setup a grip from scratch. I am not getting too many names to add to the list... We would need to add the ASA more than likely to get enough interested....?

Very nice job guys, I really like it!
With using the Center Flag reg as the gun reg, you will run into at least 1 issue, stability. That tank reg will not maintain a consistent output from full to 1000psi, its output pressure could raise as much as 200psi and as little as 50psi, varying you FPS. You need either a bottomline double reg like the Center Flag Doolie, Palmers Stabilizer, older Max-Flow or older PMS/Nitro Duck air system. The Doolie and bottomline Stabilizer you can mount up and screw in an HPA tank and have stable output into the valve body. The older Max-Flow and PMS HPA systems were stable without a secondary reg. I have not tested the older PMS systems but I know many people swear that they are good for single reg set-ups.
It was a prototype and didn't really know exactly how everything would line up or if it would even work. Everything worked out so I could look into that for the other 2. I don't know how difficult it would be to grind down the sear. It would be nice to not have the D shaped hole in the back.
