$5 says i could make it fit

[MINIMAGMAN]

ok so when ur out of the bunker and ur rushing is it hard to shoot and run with it?

Heh, pyro, my solution is going toward machining the Z-grip. It will make the gun tighter anyways. Who wants a micromag if you have to add a ton of crap to it. When i get the grips re-painted and finished, i will post pics.

No, it isn't hard. It is the main thing you have to get used to. But the Z-grips (in my opinion) force you to pay attention, because practical firing position is the most comfortable way to hold the gun. How many players have you seen in tournies and games run with their gun pointed at the ground? A lot! Because that is more comfortable than shooting position. Not with the Z-grips. When I said I wanted them, everyone on my team was sceptical, but now I have every man on my team loving the feel of my gun (The RT valve doesn't hurt). But the point is that you should play with your gun up and ready at all times, and this is more comfortable for that. I reccomend them to any front or back player, because front men need to be tight, and back men shell out a lot of paint, so the grips are more comfortable for that. Tape runners do a lot more running around like idiots, and holding their guns at arms length and shooting. If this is you, it might be time to think about an ELCD grip, otherwise, try them out. Ask a guy at a local field to try his gun. You might fall in love. I did.

again, does anyone know if a dye 2x for an automag would fit the micro body kit?

[thlibo]

None of the automag barrels fit the micro body. It uses autococker barrels, which if I am not mistaken is the same threads as a Spyder. To me this is a downside because I have a really nice mag barrel, but I guess cocker barrels are cheaper and there is more selection. All I need is one...

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

i dont' know if you were talking to me but i was talking about a grip frame. and autococker and spyder barrels have different threads.

[thlibo]

I was talking to you, and I misread your post, sorry. I have heard that the micro body works with any automag grips, except the classic Z-grips. I don't know though because my micro isn't here yet

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

ok kool, thanks.

vert feed

I was just wondering if anybody has had any problems with the vert feed on a micro, since it seems a little short.

[ShinyGuy]

Ok let me see if I can make this clear. ANY mag grip frame will fit a pre-99 (powerfeed) micro-mag. This includes;
z-grip
dye
benchmark
inteliframe
stock frame
anything I haven't thought of

The 2000 and newer (vertical feed) micro-mags use any RT grip frames including;
RT z-grip
dye
benchmark RT
inteliframe (not entirely sure)
stock RT frame

The standard mag frames MAY have a raised edge while the RT frames and frames made to fit both do not. Any time you mount an RT frame to an auto-mag or micro-mag you need a spacer around the field strip screw. If you have a newer micro you should have this. If you don't either AGD or Pro-Team should be able to hook you up.

As far as foregrips go micro-mags DO NOT use standard mag foregrips. Standard mag foregrips and accessories (including the KAPP extender) will not fit micros. The Micro-mag foregrip and vertical ASA fit with the benchmark frame. They do not fit with the z-grip and I haven't tested any of the other grips on the market.

[thlibo]

I am completely cleared up. Instead of thinking about a foregrip extender I am thinking 'micro' and going to mill my Z-grips to fit with the foregrip on the micro. This will give me the amazing power of the Z, with the small size of the micro. I will post pics on this thread some day when it is all working and pretty. Long live AGD.

Ragu, I have a vertical feed micromag, and automag grips may not work for it, they will only work if the upper part that touches the bottom of the body is completely flat. It will work on a powerfeed micro but not the vertical. On the vertical you'll need an old RT frame.
