Its an am/mm rail with some simple mill cuts.

Worth is subjective.

It is a AM/MM rail, it may be one I did, if so the machining is worth about $25, stock rail would probably go for $15-$25. (??)

Were those made by PTP?
It looks like mine:

thats a sick mag. how much to make it a pump? i love that mag. colors are original as well. i might try and make mine a pump one day if the price isnt too high. is making a pump easier than making a pneumag?

You run C02 through an X-valve?!?

It's a pump. Probably not going to have the "pressure spikes when under rapid fire" problem.

It's more of an "X-Vale recharges so fast that the CO2 turns to liquid during the process" problem, which leads to an "all your seals are busted from liquid CO2" problem.

Which is funny, because co2 has been run thru xvalves before without instance.

Just kinda gotta "Know what you're doing"

Madmarx, can we see the other side? I'm curious about your ASA and valve connections. I mean, the other side of your rail. Yeah.

Taso made rails like that. Although due to the slots being raw aluminum I would thing it was done by a person after the rail was made.

Here are two examples of taso rails. Both were new in package when I got them.
large slot milling http://www.mcarterbrown.com/gallery/data/1005/medium/sc_mag3.JPG
small slot milling http://www.mcarterbrown.com/gallery/data/1005/Prototype_automag_2.JPG

Im sure other companies made similar rails as that was a popular milling.

Had the same discusion a dozen times, co2 on pumpsmags is fine due to the low rof, I haven't had an issue with mine, nor have any other pumpmag guys using x valves, the weight savings over a classic valve is amazing


Mark simply mounted the stock agd backbottle asa to the rail with 2 counter sunk screws the the inside of the rail and rain a short macro from the back bottle adapter to the valve

I'm intrested in the pump..looks like a wevo? Did u mod a phantom undercocking kit?

You are correct on all counts sir.
That was a test fit I was messing with the wevo pump.
It currently has a Cerberus pump kit on it.

How are you going to run the macro; straight, vertical U, or horizontal U?

I have a pump mag with a vertical U that likes to leak at the hose is why I ask.

Shorten the line and try to run it straight, maybe try diff fittings or stronger macro, I had one with a slight U and it never leaked, set up like marks only I had a co2 bottle and not a cci 12ie changer

I can understand the whole pump thing, but I had a friend destroy all the o-rings and quad ring in one of my X-valves by running anti-siphoned C02 through the marker... It even had a micron filter.
