PTP Micromag Bodies

RT style sear FTW.

I think as far as improvements go most of us will agree with

1. RT style sear
2. angel threaded feedneck
3. dual angel threaded detents

Put me down for one of these.

Tracy,
Is NO anno/plating an option?

Shouldn't this be moved to the dealer forum?

im not sure on that luke possibly though, cause im not really selling anything, but at the same time i am gaining interest for a company frack i dont know ill put ya on the list though

I don't see why it wouldn't be appropriate, others do it all the time. I would guess that more people will see it there. Personally I didn't even know about this thread, I followed your link from PBnation.

ok guys last night Tracy and I spoke on the phone and Tracy asked that we all try to come up with a new body design/look. she is wanting us to do something different that sets the look apart from the past micro bodies. obviously its gonna be the same shape and shell but the exterior design is what shes looking to change. for instance they first came out with straight lines milled in them, then the las run had the wavy lins milled in the side. now she is looking for some new design ideas to complement the new body. I may start another thread for just the ideas ppl have for this

Something a little organic, maybe some influence from the Karta/Xmag wouldn't be too much problem. Not saying a total copy but certainly influenced by....

Or along the lines of, say, an SFL?

yeah im working on something like the karta x-mag look right now some smooth pronounced curves would be nice to see im my mind as well. i think that would bring the body up to date with everything else but it would still be set apart with rail and body as one

and too confirm i am still interested in the project, with the talk of new designs that would be pretty awesome too. Some may want to revisit the mag body contest thread for inspiration.

There were some plausible designs in there that with a little creativity could be shortened and combined into a new PTP micro mag body. Is there going to be a design thread started or do we just flood tracy.

and i know its belated, but thank you Tracy for coming in an clearing the fog and bringing this project closer to reality.

Yes these will be available raw, so that you may ano it they way you wish to.

Personally, I would like to see something along the lines of this body-wise



Clean, lean, with a little bit of ornamentation, but not much.

Basically a body that says, "I'm serious about playing."

Your Welcome!

Just remember while you guys are coming up with new designs, that if you go too crazy just means alot more machine time. Be creative, not crazy. We want to keep this affordable for all.

I agree. I think it should be based more on function vs looks. Something like the one in the pic could be made modular in the fact that it could be sleak and simple for the tourney guys and have places to mount extra rails for the mil sim/scenario guys, that would be a plus in PTP's favor as it goes with the current trends in paintball popularity nowadays.

Another aspect is, imho, is to stay away from the fancy milling like the SFL and XMags share onl y because that was one of the reasons that nixed the X Mag project. All the extra time that went into the milling of the X Mag bodies would slow down production time and raise production costs which would raise the price of the bodies. Another Idea would be modular breeches like the X Mags had. The CF style would appeal to the tourney guys while the warp breech would more then likely appeal to the scenario gents. This may raise the costs some, but at least the design would appeal to both sides of the sport.
