It's time for a new automag body... a "resurrection" automag

[C_losjoker]

Can you do a clam type body that would incase the ule? I have an idea.

I could print you some one color skins to go over you ule.

if you have thoughts and such, drawings, or just questions, pm so I don't kill this thread of the rails.

ccm owners dont complain about them because most are underboring anyway. i havent had working detents in my s6 in years. this detent system has already been done.doc machine uses them on his mag to cocker adapters. i would rather have the ball detents than the nubbins. but if you are trying to make them. i would mod a rebuildable detent to work if it came down to it. use one of these http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/misc/v2/ fill in the part that threads in and redrill a hole for the nubbin and put it back together. saves you having to do machining to the body and will fit all mag bodies.

What's the bore size of Doc's Adapter? (Twistlock to AC) Can you underbore it?

What's the bore size of Doc's Adapter? (Twistlock to AC) Can you underbore it?

It's just an adapter to allow you to use any cocker-threaded barrel. It has no bore size, because there is no bore. Put any bore size on it that you want.

Actually, the adapter does have a bore size.

The automag bolt is very close to 0.680, so the adapter has to at least clear that. I've got one of Doc's around here; I think it came out to at least 0.685 measured. If I find it I'll see, but for the purposes of the question, you can't underbore the adapter because then the bolt's going to have a bad day.

I have to disagree. A bore size is just that - the size of the bore. Since the adapter has no bore, it can have no bore size.

It does have a breech size, but that makes no difference on underboring, overboring or bore-to-paint matching.

On twistlock barrels, the bore and breech are permanently connected as one barrel (or barrel back in 2-piece situations). On cocker-threaded bodies (ex. ULE bodies) the breech remains as part of the body, and the bore (barrel) is connected. On TL bodies with an adapter, the adapter serves as a less easily removed breech, to which the bore is again connected.

Ah yes; that's technically breech size.

Breech size can matter though. It's where the ball drops in. If it's too large, it allows the next ball in the stack to partially enter the chamber and you get the wounding-the-next-ball effect.

Or if you have a curiously shaped paintball with a skirt on the backend that you don't want the bolt hitting -- the way to address that is by adjusting the breech...
