    Possible, sure. Eyes would have to be moved around, but with an unlimited wallet, anything is possible.

      Why would anyone want to do that anyway? Only a handful of ppl use warps even on thier mags. I used to use them, but its a lot better now w/o it.

          The warp ULE is basically the only reason I shoot a mag right now.

              Ion body + epoxy + Dremel + duct tape = Ion warp body

              The bodies are cheap enough.

                Hire Doc to build you a warp Ion. Of course you'll have to wait 27 years to get it. But Docs work kicks arse, even though he takes a long time.

                  Actually, I think the wait just reached 29 years. If you send him a couple cans of Dew with your body he will try his best to get it back before your hair turns gray and your first hip replacement.

                    As much as we pick on Doc for his wait times, he turns out great stuff!

                      we still want warp slugs..

                      i think tom backed out on that...

                      as for warp ions..

                      wanna pay $150 for a warp body w or + shell making it $180~..

                      trust me they wouldnt sell although it would be cool

                      get a no-rise imp threaded feedneck and stick the warp on...1-1.5 inches isnt a big target

                        Don't think it's possible, not the way you mean. I assume what you're thinking is that since the Ion has those swappable composite bodies, it'd be easy to make one with a warp feed left or right breach rather than a vert feed or somesuch, right? The problem is that those are just shells that go on the outside of the Ion. If I'm right, there's the outside composite shell and the inside body, which the shell fits on. That inside body can't be changed so easily, and making a WL or WR shell for the Ion wouldn't do anything, since the feed neck's attached to the inside body.

                        Take a look.


                        Hope that clears things up a bit.

                          The eyes and detentes would be the biggest problem that you would face in doing this... Perhaps if a feedneck could be made with a 45-90 degree curve in it, it would be more feasible... Not quite as smooth a solution as the AGD Guns... Did PTP make an adapter for the impulse? I don't have one in my kit, but may have sold it long ago...

                            Don't they have a threaded breech? Extend some wires, unthread it a quarter turn, Dremel and duct tape a new body, and you're set.

                              You could also make a shell that has a bit of a tube that runs from the top of the marker around the side. It'll add maybe an inch or so on top, but as was said before, an inch isn't so much.
