Ego/Etek Mag conversion how to

[RT Lover]

They have both shot 5+ cases each so far without any problems. I've Run an RTPro valve on the egomag for a while with stock on/off, and it took a lot more pressure to cycle the ram. The ULT is the way to go as it'll make the noid work at less pressure. I'm going to give the SMY noid that Hills mentioned a go as they are rated to higher pressure and flow more air. Creed mag maxed out at 17bps and started to short stroke (chuff) if we went any higher, but that feeds air to noid via a modified LP reg in Creed foregrip. I only shoot this at 10-12 bps on walkons anyway due to site rules. As for spiking... not sure if backing the LP reg out to shut of flow before airing up would help?

thats overkill!!! lol i guess when i can smy is the one that wont bulge the grip? if anything do like a emag front or even a VD front grip and put the bigger one up front

that creed mag is sweet, nice work

how can i tell what frame i have?

This is solenoid used in all my EP builds so far including Creedmag. It's only 21mm long x 11.5mm deep x 7mm thick, and it fitted in the frame no problem

All of which I've seen used on EP conversions and plenty of others can be made to work

etek frame, i like it... i guess i could switch it to pneu if i dont like it or if it blows noids, but since i would have the bps tuned under 15 as much as we know i should b fine?

This is what I did for my egomag using etek star frame. Really easy to do using Hill's instructions. However, I'm having difficulties doing it on my UL frame. Maybe you guys can help me.

Wat noid did u use?

[livebrando]

The one from airsoldier, SMC S070C-SDG-32. It's the same one that Renie uses too in his EP builds. Reason for the shiny is clear heatshrink tubing. Did you get a frame yet? If not, I have an extra Ego 6 Dark frame I was going to list in the sales threads.

I have a set up just need to mill for thr ram and need a noid and lpr.... worried that I will blow thru noids hill had posted its easy to do? Is a dremmel best to use to mill the inside the frame for the ram... I want it to look good!

[livebrando]

I used a dremel with carbide burr bits and found it to work very well on the soft aluminum and the ram. You want slow speeds. At some point you'll have to shave the ram to fit.

One issue I had is drilling and tapping the bottom of the ram. You need to drill the hole very close to the edge or you'll have a useless ram. here's the picture of one I messed up.

Yes, there is one that is Normally-open and one that is normally closed. If I remember correctly, you need the one that is NORMALLY CLOSED.
