PTP Micromag Design Concepts

[GoatBoy]

You've not checked out the DM3's have you???

They came in Left/Right/CenterFeed configurations. And in fact if you are lucky, *I've not been* you can still find the side feed breeches...

You know, I vaguely remember that, but obviously, it's not an automag, so it ssuuuuuuuuxxxxxx! AMIRITE?

OOH, good idea.

Paging Dr. Forrest...

Forrest was the one that patented a breech that rotates 180 degrees from left to right.

It would have been a nice addition to an X-Mag IMHO.

I like the idea of having the detent on the bottom of the breech. It would probably be harder to design but it would make the body look very clean.
The clean look is a big part of why I like the micromag design, and if we end up with a body that has big plugs on the side, I wont buy it.

i just want one produced so we can buy it LOL

I'll take his then !

we'll see about that. PTP stated that the bodies have gone into the design stage so this thread is in forrest's hands now. although, something posted might still influence it . . .

we shall see this thread had a lil dust on it lol

outside of a tube threaded for dual detents and feednecks with cocker barrel threads what do you expect?

Forest will need to come up with something sick looking to get the tiny agd markets attention with all the "custom" milling that has been done on agd slugs the last few years. It would blow my mind if he were actually doing anything with the function of these bodies. My bet is this will be a fairly simple yet original micromag. New feedneck and dual standard agd detents. Should be something to look forward to.

Weight reduction would of course be more in step with current paintball production and agd trends since the last release of ptp bodies.

Of course this has all been said already. Just tryin to get the dust off.

Did we ever discuss the sear pin? It would be nice if it were a standard agd part. Tough to do with the design I bet but an RT sear pin would be ideal as it is stocked commonly by more than one dealer and goes with the better sear (imo).

[Dend78]

personally yes some sear work would help it out something a lil eaiser to come by would be fantastic, as far as overall design something functional for everyone, i mean the older designs were great but some hefty weight reduction would be needed cause well why cary around a heavy micromag kinda defeates the purpose lol

[micromag-man]

Did we run out of new ideas for this?

[Dend78]

weve thrown out tons of ideas now we need some feedback from PTP so we arent just pee'in in the wind

Ok Guys, we have chosen one persons design in here as a base and have done alterations to it. We have also taken some of the different suggestions and incorporated them as well. I don't want to spill any beans until the drawings are finished. I will see what I can do to move this along.
