I kinda see what you did... but its such a jumble I'm not getting it...

Man, that is a sick idea, I'd love to have an e-zgrip, but wow! Look at all those hoses!

Here is a little more detail on the workings of the EZ-MAG
I started with a Banner fiber optic sensor (SM312F) with a bafricated fiber cable, meaning it starts as 2 fibers and combines into 1 and reflects off whatever you are trying to sense. The output from that sensor, triggered by a bolt attached to the back of the trigger itself, turns on a Mac valve, model 35A-AAA=DFBJ-1KD 24 VDC. The air coming out of this valve goes directly to an air cylinder, which I don't have a number for but its about 3.5 inches long and about 5/8 inch in diameter, a shorter stroke cylinder would be fine. The supply air for the whole thing comes from a "T" off the line from the tank that is regulated by an SMC reg, part number NAR2000-NO2. I drilled a hole in the back of the Z-grip for an M-6 bolt to slide through. It is connected to the sear by an oval shaped washer sliped over the bottom of the sear and welded to the bolt. The bolt comes out the back of the frame a little over an inch and is attached to the air cylinder with cross link made from thin aluminum bar. The power comes from the hopper that I added a third 9Volt battery to, to get enough voltage, 27volts. I just tied a small headphone style plug into one side of the 2 existing batts and came off the other side and connected the third in series and back to the plug. I also ended up putting a proximity switch on the safety, because I found that if the electrics were left on when the safety was off for mechanical mode it would fire once by the sensor and once mechanically. The resulting kickback of the sear would push the bolt back across the sensor and if I kept a little pressure on the trigger it would just cycle back and forth making it full auto.

Cool! Yeah I have the same MAC valve. I don't mines as complicated just because I'm not even trying for the mechanical or electric option. I'm going with electric only.

I have my tank running into a double tapped ASA. One air outlet runs the mag as normal. The other goes to a palmer stabalized that holds it to much lower pressure. Palmer ouput runs to the mac, mac output runs to a cylinder. The whole thing will be run off a basic stamp. Think I've just about finished with the programming, just need to figure out if I can cram the cylinder into the grip.

Great idea, but its ugly as sin! Wait, that's what you were going for ! Is it heavy?

[BTAutoMag]

i like it

as soon as i get some time and some spare parts i'll borgify my beast

then it will surely earn its name

[Investorguy]

WOW... so cool it deserves to be resurected.

Wow that is one ugly mag.
