When I was playing the other day, I got REALLY tired of constantly having to adjust my warp... Sometimes it wouldn't activate... so I go to adjust the sensitivity, and whenever I touch ANYTHING it goes off... so I figured Intellifeed was the only way out.
Now instead of tossing out $100 for a new intelliframe (which I probably will end up doing anyway) I just got bored today and tried out a home mod.
It wasn't too difficult... The hardest part was finding a good spot to mount the roller switch (I used all the same parts from the PDF at www.airgun.com )... but I found it mounted well to the very back, there is a spot on the sear of the AR frame that moves on both the pull and release of the trigger, so it would feed all the time...
Then it was just figuring out how to get the damn thing on there... A good machinist, or someone who isn't incredibly lazy probably would have come up with a better way then me... but hey, I figured that this isn't exactly something that needs to carry a high load, epoxy should hold it fine. And there ya go.
The other problem that I ran into was on my Warp... I sent it to Havoc Online quite a while ago, before I even thought about intellifeeding it, so he installed an on/off switch not very far away from the female phone jack that it plugs into... its a tight fit, and the warp plug is actually touching the on/off switch at all times. I'm going to wait and see if that becomes a problem, if it does I'll have to cut down the switch, the phone jack casing, or just move the switch.
But anyway, here are some pics... Now how am I going to clear a spot on my title for "IF" (for intellifeed...):D
