Cocker/Mag Hybrid

[ZyperioN]

I live about 45 mins north of Philly and support my home team no matter who sponsors them, plus they are the 2003 NXL Champions. I support the team, the team doesn't make assinine business moves, the team doesn't try to monopolize and ruin the sport, so in that case i have nothing against the team, i know 2 of the guys personally and they dont completely agree with the moves made by SP either. So just because they are sponsored by them doesn't mean that they agree with everything that SP stands for, hell most of them don't have a choice and are just happy to be on a pro team. It's not like other sports where there are many other opprotunities whether it be with different teams or in other pro leagues, so most of these players would jump at the chance to play in the NXL no matter who it's for.

Yeah thats what i thought you were talking about but i wasnt sure, for a second i thought my limited knowledge of the hordes of spyder guns was failing me lol. But yes in the em1's case it would be better to use a 2-way penumatic ram instead of a srping return because of the lower pressure that could be used plus it would cycle faster than a spring return, but i can see where your going with that one. Once again i wanna remind everyone that my project has been put on hold due to financial issues, most of which is my quest to buy a viking, so in my mind i'd rather have the viking than try and make a penumatic mag. So once my quest is complete and i obtain my viking the pneumatic controlled mag project will be back.

Thanx to everyone for their input and support!!!

Can you give me a link to the ram that you bought?

My friend adn I are gonna do this project and I can't sem to find the right ram (it is the same design as yours).

By the way, great design. :)
After we do this we are going to move on and make a searless mag (mew haha). I'll give out my designs for that at another time though.

Thanks,
Andrew

But the guys that own the team and play for them do?

whatever though, I know what you mean.

[ZyperioN]

Toranga just look on McMaster.com, it's a steel cylinder ram with a throw of about a 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch.

[ZyperioN]

What do you mean the people who own the team, as far as i know no one from SP plays for the team and SP does not own the team. The team just took the sponsorship, SP has no rights to the Philly Americans.

ZyperioN

i dont believe the gardners are on the team , i think they both have retired from playing pro, they have to be quite old you know.

Im not that great at saving money either but the viking is and im willing to go to get it:)

yikes!
yeah you don't want to do that. the valve just controls the air cylinder(ram). the lower you can get it to operate the better IF you are using a mechanical 3-way.

now if you are using the ram as double acting, like on a cocker, then you need to use a 4-way, like on a cocker. but I've found that for pneumatic sear control for a mag, you really only need a single acting ram, and a 3-way.

if you make it electro, then you just need to keep the input psi in the range of the solenoid valve you are using.

I just tapped a hole in the front of the vertical asa to put a palmer's micro rock reg on to feed the ram.
