ULE Body with snap on stock class feed tube?

[sjrtk]

Looks great. Love the idea and execution.

[knownothingmags]

looks ready to field test. i'll volunteer as a beta tester!

i will say that i like the look of the first one better than the second one though. the girth of the upper diameter seems massive and sort of degrades the sex appeal of the trim stock class mag. it also still seems to me that you need something further back to prevent twist and also to compensate for downward pressure applied to the top of the CCI feed tube towards where you'd feed the balls in. repeated wiggling or downward bumps on that part of the tube seems like it might degrade the threading on the clip mount to the point that it's useless and no longer holds the feed tube sufficiently.

that said, i get that the whole thing needs to be pretty beefy to stand up to game after game.

noted. and working on the final of this.
I will include a buffer for the rear of the cci tube. so there is downward force resistance.
ill work on aesthetics when I get fit finished.

thanks,
these types of support really help.

I'm following this thread, and will get a Power feed body version when available...

Sign me up for two for ULE bodies, and one for a PFR/HL body if it gets made. I just don't know how you'd keep that one from sliding forward and backward, since the body shape is the same all the way up and down. But if you do it, I'm signed up.

Also, if there's a choice on material, I'd go for the stuff you made the first proto out of (kevlar impregnated) rather than the flashy red. It's just that my markers are all black and silver.

Also, let me know if there will be a difference between feed necks that take CCI tubes and those that you can just stick a 10rd tube directly in to. If there is a diff, I might mix up my order.

ill make both, a threaded one and a push on with an oring slot in it to hold the tube in,
the red is just for proto, the fiber black that I was using before seems to be what ill end up using to get this out to the public.

on the note of the powerfeed bodies, ill need to figure out how to keep it from sliding forward and back .
ill figure it out when I get there.

I would take on with either a cram jam or taking the 10 round tube directly actually would prefer the later.

[knownothingmags]

working on a functioning proto now.
who can test this for me ASAP?
I can do it but its around 0* on average, when I am able to actually test, so cold is not good for me

[knownothingmags]

this looks like the design im going to roll with
for both the cram and jam and feed tube type feed.






so what do you guys think?
I can make a video to show how well it clamps down. let me know if anyone wants to see that.
or it there are any spects you would like me to test and video it.

Hard to say, I think the color is messing with me! lol. Seriously though, if it works... Is it possible to taper the "legs" so that they run back into the body at the bottom. That and the square cutout around the breach would look better if it had a radius in each corner. Not sure if either of those are really feasible.

anything can be done,
the radius is fesable.

the running back into the body I don't understand what you mean

[dboggs79]

So that they are tapered and get thinner as the reach the bottom of the body.

[knownothingmags]

yeah
but there is a fine balance in strength....
meaning more taper the less the circle wants to stay a circle around the body.

but I sure can see what I can do.

my different material after it is left to sit get super strong im very impressed so I may take this design to its limits tomorrow and see how stiff it actually stays around the body.
