Pump setup for Automag

[marfish]

Hey, I recently saw mention of a pump setup for turning an Automag into a pump marker.
1. Does it use a different rail?
2. Is it spring loaded for pump handle return?
3. Can it be used on any bolt/valve combination?
4. What modifications are necessary to the body?
5. It should make the marker more efficient, no?

The rail needs to have a groove milled in it for the pump rod. some older rails come stock ready for pump kit.
The pump handle has no spring.
There is no benifit to using anything other than a classic valve and lv 7 bolt, but I don't see why you couldn't use an x valve, retro valve, etc.
The body must have the slot for the pump rod to enter it to return the bolt. Older classic 68 bodies have this slot. I suppose one could be milled into a diff body, but you would really have to know what you are doing.
Effeciency? I don't think it would be better. Your tank would last longer only because you would probably shoot less

The pump handle has no spring.

there is a spring in the pump handle to return it to the forward position.

Mine parts didn't come with a spring, so I assumed they didn't have one. My mistake.

wonder if someone could make me one of these for a fair price.....
