Just when I think im "custom" or "cool" or "special" you show me up and put me in my place.

That is a beautiful build!

Dear Goatboy,

How much? Can you make me one? Do you own the 3D printer? Can you make one that's got a powerfeed but can switch to the rotary magazine? Also congratulations that is awesome/beautiful and a great contribution to the platform and community.

What is even more impressive is that given the state of your entertainment center, you developed this back in the mid to late 90s

You are doing it wrong.
That's very slick. Nice work.
I also like that you are consistant in your admiration for the old school. SS autmag body, CRT tv, and is that a PSONE?

How did I know you guys would notice my 90's era backdrop? FYI when I was a kid, I didn't even have a Playstation -- that's a Super Nintendo.

Haven't formally test fired it yet; will try to do it this weekend. Inspection and manual cycling with chopstick seems to indicate it will work just fine though.

Uh, well, I wasn't planning on letting this out of the bag but yes, you could just merge the rotary loader housing with the BT Picatinny adapter and have a DAM-like dual feed system. It would require additional work on the mag2cocker adapter and possibly the body to allow the breech to freely rotate and semi-lock, but I think it would work. Not sure if it's something I feel like undertaking at this time.

Speaking of -- this is pretty much just a prototype, and as such it was kind of expensive. My prototypes just have the bad habit of actually working. The rotary FS loader alone, with it's 3d printed parts and a few metal bits, cost about $100 in parts (I'm sure that can be easily brought down but again, this was a prototype). It doesn't work alone though -- needs a warp notched rail to lock into that still supports the classic pim style (hence why I went ahead and 3d printed one of those), barrel or adapter cut for FS rounds, and a classic body also cut for FS rounds.

So... I'm not much interested in selling these. I don't own a 3d printer (or any relevant machinery or even a decent shop) -- all these parts were drawn up in OpenSCAD and produced by Shapeways. Mechanicals aren't even my area anyways, much less actual manufacturing... I'm sure there are much more capable people in these forums for both of those tasks.
