This is my rifle mag build. The body I am using right now is from my pistol mag (some of you have seen it). Still to come, I want to get a left pf body (the one without the twist feed lock) trim it down and use a 50 shot hopper, get some hardline and run the remote nipple down to the bottom of the stock, and paint the entire thing black (everything but the valve).




The insides, The front bracket has a hole where a bolt runs through the stock, through the innards, then back through the stock. The back bracket holds the aluminum trigger (stainless trigger pin runs through the rail, through the trigger and back through the other side of the rail.
The middle block is a hunk of aluminum (to raise the mounting block above the sear) with a temporary hunk of nylon cutting board (to be replaced with another hunk of aluminum and tapped once I find the machine screw I'm going to use) that the front trigger guard bolts in to (through the trigger guard, through the stock. in to the mounting block securing the back of the innards to the stock).


You can see the cool shiny new trigger I hand made (see other post on how I did this) and the new sear rod made from stainless welding rod. The brackets are aluminum U channel and tapped so that the machine screws bolt right through the rail and into the bracket. I used stainless machine screws as well.

I wanted to keep with tradition and use only aluminum and stainless. The body and valve bolts are just stock automag trigger frame bolts, washers were needed to take up space for the body to rail bolt (also stainless). The block of aluminum that the valve bolt runs through was drilled to accept the rail bushing so no washers were needed. I guess that's about it, I will post more pics as progress happens (usually quite slow around here).

Any questions or for more pics/info just LMK, thanks for lookin!

Very nice! I'm assuming you used a barrel shroud?

Yup, but it only extends 1" past the barrel tip.. It's a 15" All American. The shroud more or less takes the step out of the barrel. I also plugged all the porting.

oh man! now this design is gonna be stuck in the back of my head forever. Props to you for that.

Lol, Thanks man. I knew what needed to be done, and had a real good idea of how to do it. I had all the parts before I even had the rifle body, I looked around at what other people were doing and wasn't happy with any of the mounting styles I saw.. So I stuck with what I thought of first. And it works great..
