Modular Breech V2 (Idea)

[OysterBoy]

Hey, we all know that AGDE has the patents for the X-Mags body/Modular Breech. This is a let down because AGD can't make the bodys which in the end just messes us all up. I thought of this, don't know if it's any good but, I think its a decent solution:

(Insert fancy milling and stuff..)

Basically, the vert feed neck is threaded onto a knobby metal bit, which is in turn threaded into the body. The detent is threaded in a metal knobby, same size and thread as the neck-knobby, which is threaded into the gun. Therefore, they can be swapped, allowing vert feed as well as warp-feed. The pictures may not work, if they don't then I'd be happy to email the pictures to someone with a host and wouldn't mind. Thanks...

so your saying a body, with 3 holes for vert, left, and right warp. Then 3 donut shaped plugs for those holes each with a detent in the middle.

???

i don't follow your description very well.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Sounds like a good idea. So bascially you have a completely removable feed neck as well as detent. They both have the same holes and can be switched places. Sounds like a good idea.

i agree this does sound like an interesting idea...

[FooTemps]

someone should try this... FOR A TAC ONE!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

GOOD THINKING! I remember somewhere Tom saying they couldn't put a side detent on a warp body for some reason. Someone get a prototype of this!! Hehehe

Wonder what TK thinks..

Just a quick idea tossed in.



Might not be to spec but more for demonstration to get the idea across. Something could be done simple and effective. Or if this might piss off WDP (depends if they have certain rights to this breech concept) then have it instead 2 pull pins on either side, and the breech completely is removed. Rather than just swinging over.

[OysterBoy]

Several ways this could be done. For example, You could probably use the same method of hopper placement as the mayhem, unless they have a patent one it.. The body is 3 pieces, a front piece with cocker barrel threa, a middle with the neck, and a back with the valve. And of course, the front and back could be combined. I just like the screw in dealy idea because I know its original..

[WenULiVeUdiE]

If you wanted to go thru with this idea, the body would need three of these holes or w/e you would like to call them. One on the left, right, and center. This way anywhere you put the feed you can have the detent in the correct place, on a 90* angle from the feed. Any time you have it left or right feed, have the detent on the top. Any time you have it vert feed, you can place the detent on either side, or both sides. To have it both sides, you would need to be able to take out the detent.

Added a new photo(chop) of what could be...

I never liked the modular idea. I say if you want to change from warp to center, just change bodies. Yeah, it might be a bit more expensive for you, but for as easy as it is to change a body on the mag, is it that big of a deal? Besides, how offten does one change from warp to vert? I do think there needs to be a warp version of the Tac-one and that Tom needs to think about the trapdoor loading again. I think this was a great idea for the warp.

i have to agree with musik, the modular breech was nothing but a hassle for me, always wiggling and coming off-center and causing the LX to jam up when it rubs against the side of the breech

its a good idea, but not one of the most practical ones ever created

but the thing with the warp is either you hate it, or you love it, thus why you have a vert body or a warp body, no need for modular breeches


plus a warp tac-one would be pure sex
