Ultra Light Mag

[hill160881]

I have more than a few projects going at the moment and here is another one. This one has been a while in the making.

Here it is, Only missing a sear at the moment and it is so light it feels like a toy. I will get a true weight at the post office later because my scale wont work at the moment. Its well under 2 lbs though.

This was a collaboration between me and the Devil (Devilman). I still plan to take a good amount of weight off the valve but the progress so far and it is looking good.

Nice touch on rounding the back of the rail by the frame.

If your just going for ALAP take the foregrip off.

I wonder what weighs less. Capping the valve and using a reg like a stab or fatty? Or just keeping it how you have it?

If you capped the valve then you could remove that much more rail from the back.

Also is that a ccm barrel? Does the ccm barrel weigh less then a dw barrel with an insert?

Also if you caped the valve you could use the reg as the forgrip, I prefure forgrips on my markers.

DW makes the Null barrel, no inserts just CF and little alum for threads, or stiffie (sp?) makes a full CF barrel with no alum.


nice mag I like the rail too...

Capping the reg is a wash on weight as I discovered. The AGD reg is pretty darn light. That for grip is ultra ultra light.

As for the rail, it was done with a table saw and a dremmal.

whats the plan for the valve? teardrop milling?

[hill160881]

Not sure on that yet. That will be up to DM.

Dont mill the valve. You may ruin the 3000 psi rating.

[Mongoose]

I have a fore grip for ya

I would guess that less than 1% of the valves out there ever see 3000psi.

Yes, but it's still a safety factor. I personally wouldn't touch the valve because it's there for a reason because you could get it so that it should be able to hold 1000 psi, but things still find a way to fail even if they shouldn't. Plus the fatigue life of aluminum is never infinite, so milling an x-valve is even more foolish of an idea than a classic valve.

Here is the weight. 1lb-7.75 oz

I've got a lighter feedneck for it as well... not sure how much lighter but it is a bit... hmmm... where else to shave weight
