Just saying.

You of all people should know that this isn't the point. :) -
It basically takes up the whole cavity. Just fill it up and let it dry. Make sure you spray some type of oil inside to keep it from sticking on the walls. It's still removable if you don't. Just takes a little more time and might tear your work if not done properly. The cure time is 12hrs for most RTV's but it'll be setup enough after 4hrs and you should be able to remove it.Originally posted by Coralis

My point was the Z body isnt worth the time.Originally posted by robertsr1811
I've owned a few of them, all of them had the nubbin.
Even modded a level 10 on one of them.
After building several of them I came to the conclusion
they arent worth messing with.
And as far as being mags, well, they are pretenders.
The hype surrounding them is just that, all hype.
They dont perform as hyped and they are more finicky than a pump mag.
The Apex barrel is far superior in performance.
Speaking from experience and dollars spent on Z's.
Not trying to rain on the parade but a famous man once said :
"It is what it is".

Hype or not, I do know they work to some extent. Albeit more random than not... BUT at least it still works just as well as a regular mag if its not working properly. My deal with them is that I was shooting one way back when and so it's more of a reminder of yesteryears with some great folks than about trying to prove to anyone that it works or not. It's also a way to say that the APEX barrel is not the first of it's kind, or that the Flatline was either...Originally posted by going_homeMy point was the Z body isnt worth the time.

I do know that Yoshi had his made in such a way as to be able to curve the ball to the right or the left, by rotating the nubbin around.. So it WAS possible to "shoot around trees" Trust me.. I was victim to it more than one time both in game and out of game just "proving" it.
And Winddancer that stuff that you use for mold making should work. I know I have some samples of the stuff from the company called "SMOOTH ON" which I'm sure you know about. I do think it'd make some good nubbins, but I've not bought any of it. One thing to keep in mind, is that the ORIGINAL nubbins are prone to "break" and shear off... that is because they are too rigid. It don't take much to spin the ball... and it really has more to do with what kind of shell the ball has than anything else. The old ZAP balls that were "micro dimpled" worked VERY WELL in the Z body! But the super slick/smooth balls of today, don't fair so well. Also Evil works alright, but a break in the gun is most upsetting!
So beware!
Let me know if you need anything else...

If you are the one selling the Z body mag on Ebay you really should disclose to bidders the nubbin is missing dont you think ?

Finicky as a Pumpmag??? I own both the Rainmann and tge AGD/Jay8541 kit and never had a problem. It's more if you don't know how to set one up problem than anything else...Comment

A pump mag is almost as finicky as a cocker.Originally posted by flyingpootang
Heres the test bro, hand a pump mag to someone that has never used one before,
and see if the first time they pump it, the pump doesnt come off in their hands.
You know what I'm talking about.
They pump it once and the marker is in one hand and the pump handle is in the other.
I learned I dont have the patience for cockers or pump mags.
They are both too finicky.

You sure you weren't missing a nut?

It was a Rainmann229 kit (modified CCM).Originally posted by DevilMan
There is no nut except the one aiming the marker.
I guess winddancer decided not to tell bidders the nubbin was missing on the Z body.

What I mean, GH, is that it doesn't matter if it works good or not. We want it because it's old and weird.
I have a RamRod rail barrel and a Ronin Gear Katana adjustable bore barrel for just the same reason.
It's not a matter of "does it work as described"... It's all about the silly. I'll get mine running and rock it out just for kicks as well.Comment
