Hey boys. I've had a spare valve and frame for a while now, and I came across a cheap rail and sear. It made perfect sense to buy a SF body for 25 bucks and completely ruin it right :)
Hehehe, anyhow guys, I wanna make a horizontal feed mag with 2 tubes on top (copper for now), on either side of the body. They've got a .75" ID and it seems like it'll be fine. The 2 tubes will be selected by a "T Lock" barrel, so you can switch between clips with just a twist.
I originally wanted a little sidearm but I think its turning into more of a rifle now.
Basically what I want is opinions on how y'all think I should fix the tubes to the body. A mag feed plug with a couple layers of electrical tape work great for routing the paint into the 2 holes in the body (already dremeled those out btw). I also ordered 2 new springs for my "broekn PT extremes" clips from 32* but they haven't come yet....I'll call back and hassle um in a sec.
If i had a welding setup I'd try my luck with that, but I'm gonna screw around with some 5 minute epoxy before I go out and find someone who can weld. Also, how do you do "silver soldering" which is how I believe the feed tubes are connected by AGD. The marks around feed tubes look a lot like when I did welding in auto shop a couple years back, but if silver soldering is do-able without too many supplies I already have I'd try my luck at that...
Anyhow, Here's the pics. It's a 14" PMI barrel. Once i get the 2 tubes fixed I'm gonna worry about what I want for air supply (considering 4oz co2), but I'm not sure where I'll want it for balance. Maybe I'll get a big stock though and use a 12oz tank under it...not quite sure yet.
Without further ado, the pics can all be viewed Here (http://moss.servebeer.com:3000/camera/01-16-2003%201204p/) , but I'll post a the few decent ones too.
here goes.
