Anyone making doing custom pneumatic mag frames?

[GT]

It looks like there is no hope for pordution pneumatic frame. Can anyone make a custom one?

[slade]

yep. lots of people have/are making them, just look around, theres plenty of threads. but you wont be able to make the pull as light as the hAir trigger... well if you do manage to, tell me what 3-way you used

[11 Bravo]

maybe Nicad could recomend a three way.

[onedude36]

or make us one (hint, hint)

EDITthe 3-way that nicad used, his custom super light one. )

i have no idea what im talking about.

I tried to, but PTP threatened to sue me. No lie.

[Chronobreak]

..if im correct its not the components used its...how you place them

ie mainly the uhm,,,thing connected to the sear.

remember how automags work, check your pivot points

thats all im saying

"Search" is your friend!

I guess I should jump on the bandwagon too!
This is where I adopt the 'woe is me' mag shooter attitude.

It really isn't as difficult to do as most make.
Half of it is planning, the other half is actually getting the balls to cut up your frame.

Use barbs, they may be more permanent then push-quick's, but they save a ton of space, and it really adds up.

Just remember that you can legally make anything you want for your own use. When you start making products to sell it can be a different story if the product is patented.

...yeah, those fittings will take up a LOT of extra space. and in the logic frame i have, there isnt much space to spare. and wheres the QEV?

also, the fabco msv-1 is huge. even though it has a lighter pull than the clippard smav-3 they have a lot of extra brass on it, im guessing, for mounting for a particular application. you can cut off a lot of material, just take it apart first so you dont cut TOO much off, and make sure you clean it before reassembling. also, you can adjust the sensitivity of it (the pressure on the spring) by adjusting the screw on the back, although you will have to re-apply loctite.

oh, and if youre using a logic frame, remember that the bore size of the clippard actuator is .375", and the spacing between the walls of the frame is .375". there is extra material on the clippard actuator you can file down, but the sizing means its not possible to file it down enough to fit in, since you need to leave some material. also, you will have to have extra material at one end for the c-clip, although you can cut the threads down to the c-clip. you will have to mill out the frame itself, for which i would suggest using end mills and a mini mill... i had to use a drill press because i dont think my school would let me use their $5000+ milling machine without taking a course first (which, i would note, my required classes do not allow me to take... ) and a drill press does the job but its not exactly as stable as a milling machine. i would not recomend a dremel.

(i could probably cut more material off of the msv-1, but its not necessary as of yet.)

i dont have any pictures of my frame because my mag is in NJ now, im hoping tuna can fix it cause i couldnt figure out what was wrong with it. and no, it wasnt anything i did... i tried my y-frame and it wouldnt shoot, and swapped out parts with my friend's mag and couldnt get it to work.

and this is why you use 6061 aluminum... home depot just doesnt cut it.

[Arstron]

I have all the parts to do one, but couldnt cut up that blue Chimera, I know have a used black intelliframe that they will fit nicely into though. The only problem I am having right now is building the piston, since I cant find the right size riv-nut, I am going to have to make my own. I am thinking a bench grinder and a old drill bit or bolt should work nicely.

That's a outright lie and you know it.
