How exactly does a Pneumag frame work?

[ThisStarNeverFalls]

Im wondering exactly how a pneumag frame works....Ive looked around at how to's and been frantically searching for a DIY thread, and I still cant find a thread or something that explains how it operates... I know it consists of a 3 way, ram , reg, and etc...but id like to know exactly how it works and what else is needed with it ULT, Xvalve, etc in order for it to work. Thanks and im looking for some help because im trying to get a mag again and try to build one. Thanks AO!

All the pneumatics do is when you hit the 2-way, it releases air from the 2-way to the ram/cylinder. After the air gets to the cylinder a rod attatched to the cylinder hits the sear, thus firing the marker. It's not complicated at all. Just logic will solve this little problem of yours.

Got ya. Ive got the idea established and the way Id like to have it setup, but im having a hell of time finding all the parts needed, specifically the MSV-1 2 way by FABCO Air, so if anyone could point me to the right direction...maybe a link?? It would be greatly appreciated.

go to thealphamag.com and look at his parts list, there are links to everything you need

[ThisStarNeverFalls]

Yep

Thanks alot guys for the help with links and such. Found out everything I needed to know, now I just need to get ahold of another mag, and the parts needed for the frame to start producing on it. I think im going to try it on a Intelliframe and stick with an all black approach, been a while since ive owned a mag, and getting the parts seems to be the hardest part. AO Thanks again, you guys are always a great help, best damn forum around!

Check these guys out. They did a hell of a nice job on a Pneumag.

Also before you go buying parts from Clippard and paying their $20 handeling charge, ask Have Blue over at www.airsoldier.com if he has any of the parts you are looking for.

i just finished by pnuemag, i will post pics up this weekend, it is pretty cool, not as walkable as i thought so i guess i have to bug all that out. i like how i cannot short stroke it at all

Question number 2-

Out of most of the things ive read ive heard mixed about the ULT, so im coming here again to ask so I know this last detail before I start on my pneumag project. Is the mod more compatiable with the ULT or without it??

[WakeJake05]

i did mine with it

I have a question also. Will you be needing an x-valve or retro for this project?

Any valve works.

[ThisStarNeverFalls]

My project beings once I get the mag I just bought off of a fellow AO'er, once it arrives its just a matter of getting the parts put together..It will be being done with a retro valve, seeing as I currently cant afford to do a xvalve as of yet

[tae]

Bah, no need, the X valve is just lighter(aluminium instead of stainless).

GL!

Thanks guys, once I get it going Ill post pics the best I can(I have alot of trouble posting them on here) and an as througho walkthrough as I can type for you guys! Also if this mod goes as well as im hoping I may start building the frames for people if there is any demand for it at all.. we will soon see what the near future withholds!

ult in a retro valve

I have a question also. Will you be needing an x-valve or retro for this project?

actually you can't use a ULT with a standard retro valve. It doesn't use the same o-ring setup as an x valve. I am not sure about the rt.pro/ emag valves. Anyone know?
