thats pretty cool


Just need to get some carving on that rail now....:)

[FalconGuy016]

Wow thats really cool

[ChucktheMAGician]

Looks nice but where's the detent?

[toysallround]

The detent is going in the bottom of the body between the rail and the body.

I've go to thread the hole and install the detent. Hope to do that tomorrow.

[yagrmiestr]

hmmmm.... detent in bottom of body eh?

I like it! :D

[TheJester]

Just back from the annodizer, warp fed sluggo with ULE rail

it's a sluggo

[rehme]

how did you make it go on it's side, the feed?

Jester,

It was a verticle feed sluggo sold in the AGD store.

I filled in the original keyways with a tig welder.
Rebored the inside on a lathe.
Turned down the outside on a lathe, all except where the new threaded hole to hold the body to the frame needed to be.

I turned the body to the angle I wanted the feed to be and figure out where the new mounting hole needed to be. I had to use a mill to mill the body down around the new mounting hole and threaded it.

I milled out the rail to accomodate the side feed.

The ball detent is in the same place as on the original sluggo, however with the body turned it is now underneath.

I didn't have the rethread the body or worry about the ball feed since it is as original, just turned 120 deg or so.

[Russ]

Wow! nice work!

What is the thread pitch for the angel feed tube?

[LittMag]

Very Nice. The only thing I'd recommend is drilling the hopper for the warp hose for a tighter fit.

[Cristobal]

very nice work! the carbon fiber barrel sets off the black nicely.

where did you send it to be annodized, and if you don't mind my asking, about what did they charge for a job like that?

and to answer Russ's question, I believe that angel feed necks have a very fine metric thread, with a pitch of about .75mm I think AGD lists it on the sluggo drawings as something like M21 x .75 6H

[toysallround]

I took it to Southeastern Annodizing in Clanton, AL. 30 minutes south of Birmingham. It cost me $35. Took it in on Wednesday had it back on Friday morning. Maybe could have found a cheaper deal but couldn't have found better service.

How is the feed tube connected? Does that only takes Cocker barrels?

Wow, I don't know what all that means but it's way cool!

[Liquid Plummer]

Very impressive. I guess that gives those looking for warp-feed sluggo bodies and option to explore. Thanks for the pics.

[MantisMag]

wow that's great! i'm definitely getting a warp sluggo when they come out.

[hostage]

like wise, i love my warp!

/me envy's toysallround

i want warp sluggo

[CayleG]

You obviously have the skills to make a nicy body out of that sluggo... why leave the sluggo a basic cyllendar? C&C it up man!

[MantisMag]

i don't think he would be able to carve it up since he rotated it...

[Fatjon]

I think he had to make it round since he turned it side ways. because the bottom of the sluggo is round to fit the rail. Am i right?

[toysallround]

You're right.

What was once the bottom is now the side. Didn't have enough metal to do anything with. Maybe next time.

Ball detent is in(side). Body done, for now. Time to play!!

Ed,

It's a standard sluggo body threaded for an Angel ball feed and cocker barrels.

Where did you get that full carbon fibre barrel? I want one badly :D

[ChucktheMAGician]

Here's a link to the barrels maker, http://www.sitemfg.com/store/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=33 Hopefully toysallround can tell us of a store which perhaps has a lower price?! :confused: :D

[manike]

I just e-mailed them to find out if they will ship to the UK.

I wonder if I can get a discount for several barrels at a time...

Also can anyone tell me how long the first bore length in the stepped design is? i.e. the main starting control bore distance.

Cool stuff :cool:

[toysallround]

I got my barrel from Paintball Quest, our home field, here in Birmingham, AL. It was listed at $120. Roy was nice enough to let me try it first. I have to say it is nice!!!

Holds a tight group, super light, and quiet.

[RobAGD]

Simon - I have one, I would say the control bore is about 5" maybe 5.5 ish Its out on loan atm so when I get it back Ill break out the micrometer and see where it really falls.

The one I have the internal finish is outstanding but the porting on mine looks a bit rough. I have shot it and it seems quite, but I am in the shop shoting to a 6" PVC pipe so.... Had a rather intresting talk with the guy that sells/makes them, he didnt care much for my questions about a few things because the are filing for a paten :) But over all they are intresting.

so far everyone I have loaned it to have raved about it ( all good so far ) but 130 for a barrel is a bit steep in my book.

Its going on my fUgLeY mag for the offical weigh in when I get all the stuff together. I am shooting for lighter than the C&C Xmag ]:>

-Robert

[toysallround]

1st bore length appears to be 5.25"

[manike]

Thanks guys. I'm waiting for a reply to my e-mail :)
