    EZ-MAG (frankenmag)

    I think my original thoughts about this project came from looking at autocockers. I just decided that it would be really cool to have an air ram actuated electrically controlled mag. I used a Z-grip because it gave me the most room in the back to work with. All the componentsI used, I got from work. I started with a bafricated banner photoeye that looks for a bolt that I added to the back of the trigger. It opens an electric solenoid Mac valve which in turn sends low pressure air from a seperate reg. to the air ram. I needed at least 22-30volts DC to operate the electrics. I thought about a seperate battery pack, but couldn't find a good location. So I added a battery in series to the hopper. Giving me 27volts from the hopper but still allowing it to work normally.

          It's different and interesting, not to mention an electronic Z-grip.

              She's been updated since with a nicer LPR, a chrome taso barrel and chrome body. The black stull is all getting anodized blue/silver acid wash.

              basically a teeny tiny ram I built toggles the sear. It's controlled by a small timer curcuit, a Humphrey's 301 valve and a 9volt.

                holy cow! Look at all the wires/tubes down there. I'd be afraid of yanking one of them off.




                Is there any way you can tuck some of that away in a box or something?

                    Punisher - For some reason I thought your design was run off of a mechanical cocker x-way? That's cool.


                    EZ-MAG - I'm guessing I'm using the same type of Mac valve you are. Unfortunately I'm trying to cram it into a stock frame. Having some issues getting the cylinder to fit correctly. I need to find a slightly lower profile microline fitting

                      looks like it has been assymilated by the Borg from Star Trek.

                              I seen this in the other thread the other day before it was explained and was like What the *ell is that. But i guess that explains it now.

                              Props to echo419 for the sig
