ULE Body with snap on stock class feed tube?

[zulubravo44]

did this project die out? that'd be sad if it did.

[knownothingmags]

sorry to hear it's still busted. that's no fun!

part might be in the mail today.
but the wife comes back from deployment soon, so I wont be doing any printing while she is home for the 2 weeks.

Im still fixing the printer. its been broken.
and im waiting on the fix of the file from a friend.
I don't rush him since he is kind enough to take his time to help.

I hope OPBN didn't derail this project with his ideas for strangely shaped pump handles :P

Maybe turn it into a complete stock-class kit with a printed pump rail as well?

working on the fillet design to glove around the body better.
A buddy has offered to help.
Im just stuck on this part of the design, so once this gets hammered out, things should be in the works for finalization.
For the cram and jam design and the feed tube as well.

awesome!

i picked up a 10 rd tube holder and some other stuff to get myself prepped for testing.

Edit:

Something just came to mind in the grogginess of early morning... What about adding a set of C clips on either side of the main clip arms to serve as 10 rd tube holders, sort of like a dual sidecar built into the overall system. Maybe that would be too much hanging on the one set of main clips, though. Food for thought, anyway.

an alternative would be to print a set of clips that mount by a small plate that runs between the rail and the VASA/foregrip, with short arms that put the clips a little further back on the gun and carry two 10 round tubes right against the rail sides.

Thanks for the offer to design something specific.
But, I'm good with what you got going on so far. I'll continue to monitor your progress.
If you still need a beta tester, I'll be out at the field more often now, so I could report results in a timely manner.

maybe I can design something to tailor to what you need
the base design is done.

maybe something like your snap on with a tiny bit of powerfeed action would work? that way you could bring the horizontal feed back to right on top, even if it dropped into a cut powerfeed body.

[knownothingmags]

no thanks, I prefer it parallel with body.

I could always angle the tube up instead of parallel with the body?

Reverse valve?

Also, I would be interested in one for ULE as well if its available in black. Maybe red, but black definitely.

yeah reverse valve was my thought too.
I just ordered some black material
working on the final design. to get the fillets worked out around the feed hole.

this way I can be more ready when the printer is fixed.

I mocked up the mag I was going use a powerfeed version on. It was at that time I realized it wouldn't work. My feed hole on the body is on the right side, same side as the valve air port. it wouldn't have clearance for the cram and jam.

So, I'll have to do this on a ULE body after all. Please move my purchase intent from powerfeed style to ULE style.

thanks
