Sk8ermog Project #2 - Gas Through M86 Trigger Frame - DONE!

[Sk8ermog]

So this was a project I have been wanting to do for awhile and I actually almost finished this within a week.
Here is my original idea pics:

I originally wanted Macro fittings on the outside and inside, but there wasn't enough room. I ended up going with micro line and I had to do some internal milling to make sure the sear didn't hit the air line. I milled the hole on the right side of the frame, but because of the internal plate for a pneumatic kit the hose didn't fit right so I milled another hole on the left side and just went for my reversed Minimag valve. I'm thinking about cutting down the air line, but I only have one long micro line hose so I don't want to shorten it.

I did the "Sleeper" mod myself and I don't think I will ever do that again. I messed up several drill bits to get a hole in my CP on/off at the right angle and large enough for an oring to work correctly. Next time I'll let a professional tackle this mod. I dunked the whole marker in water with air and there were no leaks to my surprise.

Here are the pics of how it is now in working condition:

Just need to get the cross milled into the grips like I wanted and do a nice black or blue paint job. I can almost check this off my list which makes me very happy.

Big shoot-out to cougar20th for getting this M86 frame to market and hooking me up with a great deal for a "blemished" one.

UPDATE 10/13/14

THE SLEEPER PUMP IS DONE!

Shooting great and looks even better.

Pretty cool

[cougar20th]

Very very cool. Im really glad that worked for you. I like it alot.

I wasnt sure it would.

[StygShore]

really surprised with all the hoseless guns now nobody has messed with making a new rail and front for the mag valves with o-ring seals - or would pressure be too high?

I think in an alternate universe where we all had infinite free time it'd be great to make a gas through uni frame with matching lpr asa

Start with a banjo bolt and modified valve back, maybe imagine something more refined while working on that...

Do you think anyone would want to pay $300 for the valve + another god knows what for a rail and body combo only to eliminate $1 worth of hose?

I'm sure anything is possible. The Sydarm can take a normal tank through a CA adapter and the air has to go through some metal body parts that are sealed with orings. The classic RT mag used the rail to pass air through it into the valve. I always wanted to use that combo for some cool external hose-less mag. Dang that reminded me of another project and I haven't finished this one. grrrr...

Very nice job.

can you do it to a y-frame ????

Of course, it's AO....

me me I will.

sk8ermog,
awesome man.

If it could look like metal like poetry?
Then I would spend the money, or the time.
But just to hide the hose? No not for me.

Flatliner333 did it! Eddie mag

Flatliner sparked the idea for me awhile ago, but RavishingEddie's shocker mag was more the look I wanted to go with.

can you do it to a y-frame ????

Maybe. Biggest issue is how much room the sear needs to move in the frame. Macroline is super thick so you would need to get the line as close to the back of the grip as you can. But anything is possible with mags.

me me I will.

sk8ermog,
awesome man.

Thanks buddy. And if someone produces some for mags we know you'll be first in line.

Yeah spending a ton on this project was not my goal at all. I wanted a cheap option to get rid of the line on my pump and the M86 frame seemed like the perfect option. Turns out my idea wasn't as crazy as I had thought.
