Wadjapay for your centerfeed barrel?

[damageinc54]

How much did you pay to have your mag barrel converted to fit a centerfeed mag? Do you know how much some places charge to do this? I have a centerfeed emag and I converted all of my barrels to fit it. I am a Machinist and I did it all myself. I have had many AO'ers ask me if I can do this for them and I am willing to but I have no idea how much to charge. So what is the cheapest price you have paid to have your done?

Come on guys where are you??? There has to be some other guys with centerfeed mags out there. I doubt that you are all using stock barrels

[magman007]

hey man, were all either using stock barrels, or freak systems. There are olny like 4 companys that woll do centerfeed barrels. Plus i havnt ever herd of converting your barrels, i never even knew companys did that. Ok and by the way the companys that wil do centerfeed barrels, are: Lapco, Smart Parts, J&J, and Boa. That is it! so we either shoot those barrels( usualy a freak system) or the stock. The stock is marvelous by the way.

I have emailed all kinds of places trying to find out who does this and how much they charge and nobody has replied. It seems to me that this option has been overlooked by many of the barrel manufactures in the industry. I checked with Smart Parts about getting a centerfeed SS back and they told me they only did aluminum in centerfeed. So I ordered my own SS from 888 Paintball and milled the hole myself. I can mill the centerfeed hole for any barrel on the market. I have done my entire collection of mag barrels. If anybody out there is interested in getting a barrel milled so it can be used in your centerfeed mag just drop me a line.

Anybody else interested in haveing their barrels modified for centerfeed? I am going to post some pic of some barrels that I have done soon.

I would like 3 barrels converted

[845]

As soon as I get an Emag I know who to call to get barrels milled. Monetary donations excepted to the 845 needs an E-Mag fund.

I know absolutely nothing about mags but does this have to do with where the hole is in the barrel?

RE: Center Feeders

I have center feed and use a J&J ceramic, but I would like a Center Feed boomstick, do they make it?

[damageinc54]

ChrisRT-I do not know if DYE will make you a custom boomstick milled for a centerfeed. I do not even want to know how much they would charge you for it You could just buy a boomstick and I can convert it to use in your centerfeed for you.

845-You are correct. What I do is locate where the hole needs to be in the barrel slot for the twist lock pin to hold the barrel in the correct position so it can be used on a centerfeed mag.

Squeezer-I can do your barrels for you whenever you want to send them to me. I just finished the ones that I have here so I can do them as soon as you send them.

Here is how much I am charging to mill the centerfeed hole.
1 barrel-$25.00
2 barrels-$40.00
3 barrels-$55.00
4 barrels-$70.00
5 barrels-$85.00
It is more expensive if you only send me one barrel to mill. It is much easier for me to set up the machine and do a few barrels at a time and that is why it is cheaper if you send me more than one at a time. Return shipping is included in the prices. I will post some pics of barrels that I have already done so you can see what I am doing. The hole that I mill ends up being just inside the slot for the right hand feed mag body. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE BARREL ON A RIGHT HAND FEED MAG IF YOU GET THIS CONVERSION!!! I mill the hole so that the barrel stops in the correct location for a centerfeed body and does not go any further. You can still use the barrel on a left hand feed mag. I do not modify the left hand feed slot on the barrel. Turn around time is about one week from the day that I receive your barrels. I can also polish your stainless steel barrels to look like brand new and clean up any bad spots you want fixed while I have them. I will send out confirmation e-mails when I receive and send out your barrels. I accept Paypal, money orders and certified checks. PM me for payment and shipping details if you want to have this done. Thanks!!!

"Right hand feed" is hopper right or what?

[damageinc54]

Yes. Right hand feed is hopper right. You will not be able to use the barrel on a hopper right mag because I mill the hole in that slot to fit a centerfeed body.

.

....CP also makes centerfed barrels. fyi

modified centerfeed barrel

I think you are modifying the wrong aspect of the barrel, I have a modified barrel that will fit right hand & center feed. Mill the groove for the barrel lock to extend to a center feed position. Yes, it will move if you play hard, but a slight turn will line it back up. Also look at it as another safety feature for not allowing balls to feed into the barrel. Just a thought, I like mine!
