Just finished my Pnuemag modifications and I am quite pleased with the results.
The original marker is my classic 68Automag that I bought way back in 1996.
I added an airgun designs left handed(I'm left handed), nickle plated, powerfeed body.
A polished aluminium barrel that I can't remember where I got.
Sanded and polished the stock Airgun Designs rail to expose the raw aluminium.
Added a fore-grip extender that was shortend at the back to accomidate the larger trigger guard, along with a nickle plated foregrip (again, I do not remember where I bought it).
And finally my favorite part, a raw aluminium Logic gripframe from Air Soldier Products.
I modified the logic frame by milling out the top to allow a Clippard MPA-3 actuator to fit inside (my machinist even milled it for the wrench slots on its sides!).
The trigger is Fabco MSV-1. I simply drilled a second #4 1/8th inch hole and used the intellifeed switch mount. I was tempted to get an MSV-2-R (a reverse lever switch) but couldn't find an easy way to order one. The pin from the trigger to the MSV-1 is nothing more than a nail with the point nipped off and ground flat.
The hardest part was drilling the trigger rod hole without disturbing the trigger guard. I own some 90 degree "tight fit" drilling tools that are almost like dental drills (but work on steel).
Also difficult was finding something proper to use for the actuator shaft. The shaft is simply a wall hanging hook from Lowes that I trimmed off with a cutting wheel. It is the exact diameter of the cup in the actuator and stays in without glue, while the tight fit from the sear guarantees that it can't fall out.
All of which is fed from a Palmers Micro Rock low pressure regulator that is simply tee'd into the macroline fitting on the tank. I would have liked to hide it, but for my first pnuemag, I thought it best to keep it where i can adjust it's output. I also should have bought a nickle plated LPR but this will do for now.
I will upload some images as soon as I get image shack to work.
