      Top rail is from an Empire Trracer. Good ol' fashioned epoxied that sucker right onto the steel body; couldn't find any other way to really attach it. Need someone to put weld nuts on the top of my body and all my crap will have a nice hard mountpoint.
      Looks like the older model because the loader would just sit on top there (2 pieces). The newer model has everything in one package.



      Huh... I just noticed that your lid is where the hopper would insert. I like what you're doing here with the barrel adapter and the mag clamp. Nice!

        and that pic rail on top what is that off of , and how is it attached?

        you gave me so many ideas.

        this will be fun this summer.

        if I can go to tunaball I'm going to try to make as many parts as possible and bring them with me.
        there is no if, there is only come or stay home.

          could print people pneumag triggers on the spot.
          cant offer triggers for mechanical mags, they would break quickly

              BigEvil should be doing a game this summer. But that would be fun to have you at the cabins with everyone drinking and eating while printing parts.

              I will not be there, sadly...

                O snap ur rite. They don't let me out much so I didn't know there was a newer, newer model. There was an old-old rip clip, then the rip clip that I have, and now that one.

                That sucks that you can't tac cap the newer model.

                Uh actually... I've been running a 3d printed trigger in my mech mag for a few years now... granted it's the SLS nylon stuff. But it's holding up just fine.

                    I have one on a TM7 with the RF chip (older version). I have enjoyed it over the years and have had no problems with feed issue with the RF chip. Without the RF chip I would think the sound activation would not be a problem with the mag. As far as specs of rate of fire, etc....I would refer to the manual for that. I do not recall of the top of my mind.

                      Love the idea of the rip clip on a mag, wish it would fit on the other side. Always kind of bothered me that tippmann and BT put their feeds on the right side of the marker when the majority of the human race is right handed. If you pop out the right side of a bunker(as most are inclined to do) the hopper will be out of the bunker before the barrel making you a target...

                      Just an observation, still love the idea!!

                        So I got my hands on some o' dat PETG filament to try out, and actually successfully printed an adapter on my Play with it. Yes, a successful print on a cold bed with just kapton and glue stick.

                        I'm actually pretty happy with the part; it's not as stiff as PLA, but not as fragile either, at nearly the same cost. And since this doesn't need to be that stiff, that winds up being a 'win'.

                        The problem is two of the words in "PETG" are "polyethylene" and "glycol".

                        Which uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh should sound familiar to some of you. Might need some research...
