yeah i went off topic a bit.

hope you get all your projects finished.

since everyone has been very supportive of my projects.

let me know if there is anything i can help with i have some parts.
very few but i do have some.

[BTAutoMag]

well... most of it is going to be hand made...

the chain foregrip I want anoed and since you cant ano steel, it needs to be aluminum... they dont make 3/4 aluminum chain, so I will be making it out of aluminum round bar, a welder and patience.

the rail was machined by luke

the body, CF sleeved in back and then sleeved in front as well so I could reshape the front. it will MOSTLY look like a ULE body but alot more sleek.

the grip will be luke's when ever he gets one done.

the barrel will be a WWA freak with a 2 inch tip... if I can ever find one when I have money to buy it with.

gonna do a CP on/off with an angled up wedge, will be machining that one when I have time.

ano will be a gloss black with lime green splash

I know luke is going to be including grips but I kinda want to get an SPD grip for it... dunno yet.

will be tits when its done

my problem is, i keep finding ways to get my hands on electro's and dont even like playing with them...ive got builds in my head with 90% the parts for my emag and xmag and once i finish them, they are going to sit unused...its just hard to get rid of them i guess...

OPBN, on your retro project, would it be easier for you to mill in the round PIM hole on the rail rather than mod the body, like the late model factory AM/MM rails? I had a modded body or two pass through my parts box a while back. . . just didn't like the fit between them and the rail after mod. The round PIM bodies on the factory round/square hole PIM rails - all good. This would keep you from being as nervous about grinding on a rare body?

. . . and staying on topic. . . yep, in spite of my best efforts, I still probably have more or less two guns worth of parts and maybe a little extra (most of an emag, and maybe a pair of classic mechs if I stretch the parts pile). I just need to purge the totally "extra" parts again, finish fixing up and sell an electro that has been sitting on the bench for months, and get to actually finishing something.

. . . and maybe, just maybe, actually playing again one of these days. . . :rofl:

Since you have time, I have a selfish suggestion. You could use some split aluminum round rings,

and instead of a single link chain, you could do a "rope" chain, which seems like it would make a more comfortable grip. I would like to see that.

Time is the nice part of not having the money for projects. It keeps me from buying too many parts I won't use and lets you use files and scraps to make parts. No money and no time is truly sad.

had enough mag parts laying around to give my uncle a classic mag so i wouldnt have to tech his guns at the field lol

Would take me about 3 minutes to sand down the pim using my bench sander. I've done it on a couple of other bodies and not had an issue. I know these bodies are getting seen less often, but they really don't seem to be that rare.

keiko: :rofl: guilty as charged on both counts. The electro I've got on the bench. . . I think I've owned (and sold) three of them now in the last year or two. . . same gun every time. . . this one is the last time, though, I swear. . . ditto on the emag bits (on set of lowers that have passed through the parts box #2 yet to become a gun). . .

Here are my stalled projects

this one is the pumpmag I built a couple of years ago. I had to part most of it earlier this year, but I plan on restoring it to its previous glory.



Next up is my spring-fed pistol-mag project. The barrel will probably get cut down along with the rail and the body. Add a spring-feed set up, and bam! there it is.



Next is my never-ending Tac-1 project. got the Brand-new benchmark frame mated to a Tac-1 ULE rail. Still needs a lot of work and parts.



I also have my classic Sl-68 project. Doesn't need much in the way of parts. It is actually stripped now and waiting for a black Cerakote job. This thing is bad, it still shoots straight as an arrow, and gets like +/- 5 fps on the chrono from CO2. It is from the very first run of these that Tippmann did, and still works as well as it did when I got it



I've also got an ACI F4 Illustrator project which is in too many pieces to bother photographing it. It needs several parts and a new barrel, as well.
