My idea disclosed

[RavishingEddie]

Hi guys,

Recently I was planning on creating my first railess mag. Well at least for a ULE that stand point that is. I'll explain; I was thinking about how to make a mag shorter and came to the conclusion that the only way to do so, is to integrate a rail onto a frame.

The frame I chose for this is an Ion frame.




As you can see there is enough spacing between the trigger and top edge of the frame. My idea was to tap a sear thread onto the frame itself and thus I would not need a rail. I decided to use a scenario dreams board and an SMC sub miniature solenoid. Ion frames already come tapped at the front for a gauge, but this can be used for the LPR instead.

I had though out alot of stuff to start working on this, but I need to cut down on expenses and I don't have the tools or time to work on this idea. If anyone thinks that could make it happen, that would be awesome. I would love to see it realized by one of you magically smart AOers

Actually, it's been discussed before. Pneumagger was working on something that never came to fruition: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=236717

I think p8ntbal4me was looking at possibly reviving it. http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...7&page=1&pp=30

its a nice idea. Problem becomes it lock you into a certain VA/frame layout. Seems everyone on AO likes something different. You will not please everyone. Dont try. The other issue is that if you drop the sear you should drop the trigger to keep all those relationships the same thus canceling out the fact that the sear was droped lower into the rail.

Material & milling costs also go up substantially from making them separate.

Dont go crazy. I believe something like this is already well in the works.

I would think that depends on his goal. he could make it a dedicated pneu-frame and then that geometry becomes less critical.

Hm. Believe? I believe I know what that means.
