I had to make it myself by cutting down the feed tube. It's impossible to get a clean cut with a tubing cutter that close to the body so I used a vertical mill with a 5/16" end mill. Size of the end mill doesn't matter really, just one that is sharp and will do the job. I clamped my mainbody so that the feed tube was parallel to the table of the VM and marked my spot. I brought the end mill down and started feeding the endmill down each time I made a cut across the dia. of the feed tube. RPM was set to about 500 and I used a small amount of coolant.

AGD makes bodies with the PF tube short enough to use the standard length feed plug, also known as warp bodies. At the time they weren't making them for MiniMags, so I milled it myself. AGD now has warp bodies for E-Mags/RT-Pros/Automags/Minimags.

I think that cutting down the tube looks pretty cool. Do you have a Powerfeed or Standard feed? I cut mine down and it looks pretty sharp. I'll get up some pics when I get my body back from redrider. Where is Black's Gun???
