Magfed Minimag

[Hook]

Stumbled on this on MCB and on Facebook. How is no one talking about this here?? This is amazing, I can finally ditch my clunky Dye DAM!!

Sorry if this has been posted before; haven't seen a thread about it.

Its very cool but that is an RT body, not a Minimag. The mod is like $345 and I would like to see some pics of the mods and the quality before I dropped that kind of coin but it is very cool.

Correction, you are right. He cut the end of the RT body to use an XValve.

Anyway, I sent him a Classic mag to have it modified. I'm really stoked about this.

Let us know how it goes and take lots of pictures!

Eh, it's just another mod for 'Mags...like Pneumag setups or stock class feeds.

Full disclosure, I'm not really into the whole tactical/magfed/First Strike movement anyhow. Don't get me started with "sniping" in paintball. With multiple Army deployments under my belt I guess I've had my fill of that style and enjoy simple, fun, traditional paintball.

But to each their own!

Cool, opens up magfed games but at what costs? Granted it would be less than a Dam but the costs for the mags certainly outweighs that.

Keep the blimp on the top. So much simpler

while im likely in the minority i think its probably still easier to go with a fn303. first strike capable, cocker threads, magazines are tougher to find. It does open itself to 3d printed housings. especially since most people will be using a remote line instead gun mounted tank. if you wanted to do capture nuts then it would be doable.
you do lose the option to have the level 10 bolt as the bolt is longer than a standard mag bolt.

I'm in line. The more cool Mag stuff the better.
The real trick will be getting a Mag fed mod that works with a pump.
Somebody get on that.

It's nice work; this had always been in the back of my mind but the metalwork kind of turned me off. It's a pretty... motivated mod. I mean you know it's srs bizness when the Tactical Tennis Ball comes out.

If he's planning on doing this on a larger scale, I think it would be better to just suck the magazine receiver into a custom integrated rail. The receiver geometries are not that difficult to replicate.

This is just a quick off-the-cuff mockup.

That's very cool, but I was thinking about Mags.

This is really what I was hoping for: someone should mill a one-peice rail/magwell/trigger assembly (one that would accept standard M16 grips, like the old Nelson pumps from 20+ years ago). For $350 a piece, should be doable and would probably be sturdier, although his build seems to be strong. As I keep dreaming of it, I might still order a modified kit from him as I've always dreamed about a Mag-fed Mag.
