Pneumag Debacle

[OPBN]

Micro isn't really used anymore. At least not with Mags.

This is the best stuff. Weather it be macro or miroline

I just prefer it, I only have a 1 1/2" piece between my drop and grip... probably impossible with macro. Plus I ran it with a hyperframe long ago with micro and a crappy pmi steelie, id like to continue running it if I can

Yeah, stick with the airsoldier stuff. Micro took a hit in the "bps wars". High pressure or low pressure, the fast markers needed macro to move enough air. With pumps or a slow enough marker, micro can be safer and smaller for the same performance.

Yeah I understand the macro/micro thing since everything now is electronic. I like those fittings but it sucks they sell em in 5 packs only... I need 5 total but not all of the same style. Ill probably find somewhere that has individuals and replace all of mine when I get my package from Ans. Haven't been on there in years and all their mag stuff is on blowout so I bought a bunch of spare parts for ten more years down the road haha... and a new barrel for $4

Here's how I did my pneumag.

I like that a lot ^^^

I guess I could angle the reg on the same plane as my drop and make it a little less conspicuous, then run a 90* nipple straight back... nice

I see we are both a fan of 3M

I had a stainless body and B2 covered with the realtree (iirc) 3M sheet. It was hard to spot in the brush. I still have the loader with the same covering for about five years now. It's faded a bit and starting to lift in places, but the loader is pristine underneath. That film does not like isopropyl alcohol.

Well, I ended up buying justus' intelliframe in the FS section. I'm going to Polish it up and put it on as is for now.

Also, just to throw a little wrench in the plans... I found one of my older elec. Markers in a bin in storage. Still works, i pulled the eyes from the board and it also still functioned. So now my questioning is about the switch that is used for intellifeed. Is it like a 1/4"x3/8" rectangle with a small metal flap that hits a switch? If so, I'm thinking I can go full electro with this frame, everything works and its just a simple board with 4 wires...

The only thing that I don't know is, on the current gun there is a set screw built in to the frame to stop the solenoid from just flying out the back, I dunno how id stop this in the frame...

Ill just take pics and be back, then get ideas... or just get everything and throw it in a box and send it to someone... be back with pics

Heres the switch


Screw hole for the set screw that tunes the solenoid


Here is two shots of the board, minus the eye wires, the board works with or without them hooked up (eyes are blue/black and red/black wires in the pics)
kind of crappy shot but shows the size


better shot of the buttons and entire board size



any ideas?


EDIT: nevermind, I just saw a cad file of the intelliframe and the switch is horizontal not vertical.. oh well
