Combo vertical and warp feed ULE body

[hitech]

How many more people would be interested in a ULE warp body if you could easily convert between vertical and warp feeds? Well, here is my idea for making one. Take a ULE vertical feed body and drill and tap the warp feed hole. Then make a threaded plate that screws into the feed hole. Drill and tap the plate for the detent. Just put the "blocking plate" in the feed you don't want to use and the appropriate feed neck in the one you want to use. Simple.

To those of you who thought I was going to make these, sorry. I only have the capacity to make ideas, not products.

That's a pretty good idea.
If you had the detent on the right side of the body, wouldn't it not be nessicary to put the detent on the blocking plate?
Of corse then there would be no way to accomidate us leftys.

There was a long discussion in chat about this topic about a year or so ago, complete with some very sloppy diagrams....

IIRC, the problem was the detents, and where they would be placed. Although, I think that too, was figured out.

I know tato was involved in the discussion, maybe he can recall more.

As I remember, the vert feeds have two detents, one on each side. The warp feeds have the detent on the top. So the plate(s) would need detents.

Of corse then there would be no way to accomidate us leftys.

Actually, that would be easy. Just drill feed holes on both sides and make an extra "blocking plate".

Thanks...

You guys couldn't convince Tom to do it, eh? Maybe one of our resident machinists will run with the idea...

YOU FREAKIN READ MY MIND!!!! i thought of this about 1-2 years ago. i have drawings, 3d models, and...no patent...

anyway, i talked to tunaman last week and this came up. agreeing with him, just useing adapters is an easier/cheaper way. but my design looks pretty cool.

or how about a vert ule that goes warp.

or why not have two sets of mounting holes for the Ule body.. so it can either be mounted on the rail upright or in a warp configuration on it's side

I believe that the ULE's are made from slugs. Since the slugs are not round that will not work. Otherwise it would work, but not too many people want the extra slots, holes and taps on the side of the marker body.

Great minds thnk alike.

The adapters work, but not nearly as well. I'd rather have a SS warp body than a vert feed with an adapter.

hmm..yes had the idea too

would this be expesnive...ie cheaper than just buying both bodies seperately?

whynot just use a vert warp adapter un the vert .....

seems like alot of trouble

btw does this eman the warp slugs arent coming out ..ever

sounds interesting and if it worked good/reliable i might purchase one...looks are also a factor(karta doesnt move ot the side for no one )..or i can build another mag :)

I wouldn't expect this to be expensive at all. But I'm not in a position to make any either.

I have NO inside information on warp slugs. However, I don't ever expect to see any...

ok guys how about this

make a feed neck thats looks like the 90 adapter and screw that in when you want to warp and when you want to go back screw back in your vert feed neck. im working on a patent

look at my post above

that was my idea, have a ule with 2 holes, one feedneck and a screw in plate with a detent on it, that way it will be on both sides when you have the vert hopper, and when you have a warp it will be on the top. also you woln't have an extra feedneck sticking up/out there, also easier than pins. and it coule have a design or something on the plate or a sticker but it would have to have a way to screw off, like a small hole to put an allen wrench into and then you turn the allen wrench around like on a hand powered eggbeater.
