Fixed my Mag

[SteelSoul]

I will tell the story of the UberTight MAg

Back in Sept the son and I went and played some good paintball at our local paintball place "TXPB"
SO my boy was at the chrono and his 98 barfs up a O ring and he was like DAD LOOK AT THIS, so I go here man go play with Steel ( My mags name :D).
First game of the day, first sprint off the tape, right after the ref blows the whistle a root reaches up and grabs his foot and pulls him down...
Sadly to say Steel broke his neck http://www.themythclan.com/Palladium/data/images/Broke.JPG

Well I saw this as a golden chance to work on a project I had wanted to do for a while. A low rise off-set kinda center feed

More pics to come once I get the slag filed out of the main body I can put my Revvy and my Egg II on that feed neck. I will also tell yall if it feeds worth a darn.
If it blows then I need to get a ULE body :D

good idea! how'd you keep from warping the body from the heat of the weld?

Tig Weld
Foudn out we have a Big Ol Tig welder at work that we never use so I talked this guy into letting me play with it and man does it weld sweet

Looks like that
Did it at a very low voltage and used a lot of scraps to practice on

lol, I've worked with a tig machine, and I never really got too good at it. Plus the UV burns that I got for welding in a T-shirt the first time werent too fun:D as for the time being, I'll just keep to the mig end of town, where I live in style:cool:

That's EXACTLY the idea I had about a month back. Man,it looks like it worked well, time to proceed to make it.

Seems like it should work,if the feed area is a clear path to the breach and not restrictive.Kinda a vert powerfeed kinda thing.

Let us know how it shoots/feeds now.

Good effort,
Jay.
