    To AGD: XMAG warp breech design (idea)

    IMHO, the warp breech design could be better...

    Most mounting configurations of the warp have the feeding tube running vertically up to the breech. The current design of the breech has the feeding tube running almost horizontal. This requires the use of a 90 degree elbow. If you don't use a 90 elbow, you will have to cut or melt your hopper in order to get it as tight and compact as possible.

    I think the XMAG warp breech should have a built-in 'elbow' pointing straight down with a minimal but gentle curve so that the feed tube can slip straight up into the breech with no curves or bends.

    Since AGD makes both the warp and the XMAG, knowing exactly where all the components line up should not be a problem.

    Please consider the idea of redesigning the warp breech to include a small and short bend so that we don't have to cut or melt our hoppers.

    Thanks.

      i like the mod Bob Long did to his Timmy and warp. It would look nice if it was slightly milled but i like the idea of it.

      I have no idea how it works, if he uses powerfeeds or what not but u get the picture.

          not at all. This will lead to a tighter configuration, but it really isn't necessary. The few extreme setups that I've seen with warps on them have the tube just leading straight up, curving slightly into the breech, instead of using the 90 degree adapter.

              I do believe AGD did that mod. I could be wrong. Tom, chime in.

                  Tom knows the current X-mag warp breech design is not optimal, and they have better ones in the works. I've heard him say it many times dureing IAO and the factory visit dureing Shatnerball.

                          Cool!

                          That's what I was hoping looking for... :):):)

                          Thanks for the info
