My Pmag is finally finished!! Review & Hi-res pics!!

[Pneumagger]

cost assuming you already have a grip frame
LPR: huge range for a new micro rock: $45
MPA-3: $10
SMAV-3: $16
QEV: $8

thats for the parts, you are obviously going to have to pay someone else if you want them to make it for you

And you would know this info how???

there is no Microrock here and no SMAV-3. The pics clearly show a Fabco brand 3 way, not a clippard. And that LPR is a Shocktech, which regulates great also.

i know that the LPR is not a micro rock and the 3 way is a fabco

but they asked how much a mod like this would cost, the difference in cost between the smav-3 and fabco 3 way is only about $2 and the micro rock is a very common LPR for this type of mod so i decided to give them the prices as an approximate total of the cost of the parts for the modification

all the prices come from airsoldier.com

Hi Yall

Alright, Thank you for letting me be a part of this community - I like to be around stuff that makes sense :P

I have a question, probably a noob one.. ...

uhh.. reading the other pnumag threads, I dont know forsure how to accomplish a mag like this.. what do i do?

Please indulge me...

So, my Pmag project has finally been completed! I would dare say this is Pneumagger's greatest work... Major props to whistl3r, paint_magnet, Rogue, Luke, and of course Pneumagger for making this dream a reality. On to the review.

The Good

Trigger pull = practically nothing. Measured by Pneu at 1.8 ounces w/ ULT, and 2.2 ounces I believe w/ Emag on/off. This is honestly one of the smoothest shooting markers I've ever used, and by FAR the nicest mech. In fact, when firing its easy to forget that the gun is mech at all. Reaching a sustained 14 bps (see goldwave pic), this marker is by no means slow. Even better is the fact that when the LPR is dialed in just right w/ the Emag on/off, FA can be achieved at around 19ish bps (sry, no goldwave on this one yet).

I envisioned the entire marker as a completely gloss black setup, and with the aluminum panels I was lucky enough to pick up from paint_magnet, the marker turned out FAR better looking than I ever imagined. The only thing it's waiting on now is a new clamping feedneck (on the way), and a WWA Justice series barrel (having problems on that one, Joe isn't returning my emails, he's still got my barrel ).

The entire marker is ULE'd as much as possible (Xvalve, ULE body, ULE am/mm rail...), it doesn't weigh much more than my old Ion, if at all. Sorry, I have yet to officially weigh it in...

The Bad

Only thing I can think of here is that the Chimera frame has a rather smallish trigger guard, making it a little hard to walk the trigger until you get used to it. Not a big deal, it just takes a little getting used to.

On to the eye candy!












THANK YOU, AO FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE!!!

Just to add fuel to the fire

You forgot to add in the cost for the line and the banjo. Still a very hot looking Automag.

cost assuming you already have a grip frame
LPR: huge range, for a new micro rock: $45
MPA-3: $10
SMAV-3: $16
QEV: $8

thats for the parts, you are obviously going to have to pay someone else if you want them to make it for you

[shorty24]

Pneu, help me out here, but I believe parts list for this particular setup is something as follows:

Actuator
MPA-3 (w/ SS MPA-3 ram from Luke)
MSV-2R
QEV?
Air line and 90* fitting
LPR

Look to spend anywhere from $80-$150 if you do this mod (similar to this one) on your own, depending on what LPR you choose, whether you get stuff new or used, and the extent of other custom work you want to get done to it (i.e. rail milling, trigger stops, vert ASA tapped for a forward port, etc...all things I got done by Luke).

/for those who keep asking, NO, I WON'T do this mod for you...especially seeing as how I had someone else do mine for me in the first place (I don't possess the technical ability or the tools), if you didn't pick that up in the first post...

good choice on going with the MSV-2, its a better choice than an MSV-1 for a pneumag. I would have gone with one, but im either selling my mag or making it electropneumatic, its been sitting around unused for too long.

very cleanly done, good job.

Yes you pretty much got it right. Actual parts cost will only be about $75 heavily depentand on the exact setup. But if you don't have all the tools/bits/taps/drills/dremmel/etc...It could be very costly to get up and running. The QEV looks a little funny because I initially was going to have it in a different tighter spot and set it up for the input to go into the side to keep a low profile. But then I decided to install it differently so i installed a plug and cemented it with 1 ton expoxy. Nothing major. When I post some pics of my mine you'll see how I was going to install it.

[Chaos_Theory!]

That looks hot. I think i may have to build one after i get soem of my excess ion parts sold.

Your mag looks a lot like my ion if i had a vert frame on it.

[Shingo]

VERY NICE!!! By far, the best looking PnueMag.

One question... what is that dark grey "goop" on your QEV? Where do you get it?

ugh, just looked at the pictures again. do you realize that you have a lot more hose in between the MSV-2 and MPA-3 than necessary, and if you cut out the QEV and extra hose, it might actually increase the max ROF?

[Jonno06]

definitly the nicest automag i've ever seen.


and i'll be contactice pneumag about one of these beauties soon as well
