    what to do with an empty emag frame

    So I got this in a box-o-parts recently and have no idea what to do with it.

    What you see it what I've got. No trigger, no safety, no electronics or battery pack...

    Of course my first idea was to actually buy the spare parts to make it an emag, but it would cost way too much to buy every part separately. It would be much more cost effective to just buy a used set of lowers.

    Next idea was to simply convert it into a mech frame. which should be easy enough, and not too expensive. Although then there's the problem of all the, um....holes that would be left over. There's a hole in the back for the safety...a hole in the grips for the LCD panel...a hole in the left side behind the trigger for the sensor.... I'm not sure how to fill all those without making it look strange.

    The last idea was to convert it into a pneumag frame, which would involve cutting out most of the brackets inside, but then again, I'm left with all the various holes.

    Part of me actually wants to make it into a weird looking pistol, actually. Just leave all the holes for "character" and whatnot. Then I don't have to worry about finding a battery pack for a foregrip (or modding something else to work), and I can use the EMAG rail I've got lying around.

            I'd sell it, depending on the price. Easier than figuring out what to do with it.

            But then what are you gonna do with it?

                  rawbutter:

                  In 2001 Tom showed off the Jacksonville Worriors Custom E-mag that had a cut down e-mag frame.





                  Throughout the years I have been collecting really old e-mag valves and decided to make a tribute gun. A few years ago I had the Armada X built and sent this over to Caustic Customs as well....





                  I have an external battery mount, but I have only kept it in mech form so far. Btw, just fill all the holes with e-mag parts. It will look fine SPD Custom grips will cover the LED screen as well. Shout outs to Luke Customs and Caustic Customs

                    I have all the parts to build these empty frames up. It is not as expensive as most think. Email me if you want to fill one up.
