Ten Round Feedtube- Concept Drawing

[luke]

The real thing, 12 round RNC feed tube>


What do you guys think?

This is to scale (Automag) with a 10 balls in the tube (11 with one in the breach). I added one extra ball because I don't know what kind of caps are available. If there are caps that fit OVER the tube then it could be shortened by .68".




It would be all stainless steel conctruction, T.I.G. welded to the body like I do my other feedtube mods.


I'm moving this post comment up here so it dosen't get over looked.

Sorry guys IF I do this, it will be for SS bodies only. No threads- non removable welded to the body.

All SS bodies would be eligible, including Centerfeeds.

I will lower the tube to the surface of the body, NO problem. (I'm busy the next 3-4 days but I'll redo the drawing) I'm also going to remove the rear spacer, it really dosent need to be there and it just drives the cost up.

I will gladly look a a spring feed design if someone can turn me on to some ideas. Was the sidearm spring feed or rock-n-cock? At this point I don't see why I couldn't offer both.

For you guys that want to use a removable system that can be purchased on the market (held on by a set screw), I can redo your powerfeeds with a short tube coming straight off the body. (Like a cut down Automag feedtube, non-powerfeed) This I can offer today.

Why not do one threaded to simply screw into the ule body?

[hitech]

It looks good. Is the idea to have a spring loaded "cap" or is this a rock&load type?

[flyingpootang]

If you brought the feedtube close to the body it'll look better

Agreed.

Spring loaded or rockNcock?

What's involved in the sprinloaded cap? If it's just a matter of "space" that's no problem. That is easily adjustable. Really don't know anything about it.

This too is no problem. I'm think about 1/16" gap between the body and tube would be nice.

Perhaps when I'm set up with CNC machines, but for now this is for the SS bodies.

this would definitely go great with my pistol mag! good thinking mr luke

[Chronobreak]

luke, good work but as others have said



that looks alot better, and cleaner and requires no welding or permanent mods that im aware of other than the small set screwhole

[luke]

Well since there are options I won't bother, thanks for the heads up.. Moving on..

[GroovYChickeN 2.o]

honestly I would love this conversion for my mini mag body on my pump mag....

[Empyreal Rogue]

WWA still makes those tubes?

Luke I don't think anyone is trying to deterr you from releasing something, I for one would love to see something you could do. A spring loaded aluminum feed tube with a simple or even elegant design would be awesome. I would definitely start working on my PumpMag project sooner if that's the case, and I do mean that.

i guess the people have answered mr luke... . do you think it would be possible to make enough threads in a SS body to hold a phantom feed? the ULE bodies get around 6-7 threads.

[Chronobreak]

luke your conversions alot better and very viable for those that have powerfeed or side feed ss bodies.

i just know i and others probly want something closer to the body

[Ninjeff]

I would love one, if its spring feed. Ive been wanting a mag pistol anyhow, and this would give me good excuse to do so.

[snoopay700]

I wouldn't mind one, i've wanted to do it with another body but i don't have the resources. Always something that appealed to me about making my mag into a sydarm (essentially).
