What is the history of the Pump Mag?

[luke]

Thanks Big, I'll study it closer this evening, it looks like some good info....

I know nothing about the stock class. Are there rules that state the BOLT must be manually reset for it to qualify as stock?

The design is very simple and effective, but for some reason I'm having a hard time with the idea of the bolt not resetting on its own. I think I'm going to try a new design, one that locks the trigger after the gun is fired, then releases it for one shot after it's "cocked".

What do you think?

From what I've read about stock class rules (very little) The cocking action has to reload the marker. Which I believe is what the AGD pump kit basically does, the bolt is held forward by the wave spring blocking the feed tube and requiring a manual reset for the marker to fire again. I'm no stock class expert but just locking and unlocking the trigger with pump action might not fly, the marker would still essentially be semi-auto if the lock was bypassed.

Thanks for all the info guys.
I have a full understanding how they work.

Does that mean I get to beta test your new pump design?

If you want to design something usefull. Figure out how to make a pump mag have an AT.

AT = Auto Trigger. Allows you to hold the trigger and pump the arm to fire. Instead of pump then pull the trigger.

I still have the original plastic container that I bought my pump kit in. I showed it at a AO meeting at the IAO a couple of years ago. I haven't tried to use mine in pump mode with the LX yet.

Hey ya ROCP, haven't seen you around since that IAO, how ya been?

[Rocp15126]

Oh not bad, work and school keep me busy. I've started getting into scenario games. I'll definately be at the IAO this year. If you decide to take any road trips for games let me know, I'll try and make it. I'm also thinking of getting a pgp and sending it to Palmers for some upgrades.
