Introducing the Micromag 2009

[ZoomZ@PTP]

I was thinking about it too, did you change the actual location of the detents?

No , you will see it tomorrow ,, drain bead , seed nleep .

[Engus]

No , you will see it tomorrow ,, drain bead , seed nleep .

Forest, Tracy,
this is more or less what i have planned for my Micros:



now ain't that sexy!

[Tracy_ptp]

ok, here are the renderings of the micros with 2 detents and will now go from centerfeed to 45 left or right to 90 left or right.

[going_home]

Very nice !

Anyone is more than welcome to stop by and see us.......just ask looper who saw us yesterday. We are still unpacking and trying to get organized so it is a bit of a mess, but we have lots of parts and cool things for people to see. And of course we have lots of knowledge from the last 20 years so if you happen to come by when Forest is there it is likely you will be there for awhile.........Isn't that right Looper?

It was really hard to leave, but I did not want to over stay my welcome. Talking to Tracy and Forest was like talking to living paintball encyclopedias.

One of the many items I got to see and hold on my tour was the Purple Armson Semi... And the book you see below. Let me tell you, it is one thing to read about a paintball marker but when you have the guy that designed and build it give you a personal tour, lets just say it was a very cool day. can't wait for my next visit.

Tracy, deposit sent.

Keep up the good work

[micromag-man]

GOSH, how are you guys sleeping at night???

You have made an already fun and fantastic body even better, WOW good stuff.

You are making my micromag 2000 look like a Pinto and this new micromag 2009 to look like a Rolls Royce.

[Hgblues]

WOW! That red looks INCREDIBLE (especially since my X valve is red !! , umm, and my barrel set is red/black, umm, and my warp is red along with my revy, and umm, well you get the picture!)

ok, here are the renderings of the micros with 2 detents and will now go from centerfeed to 45 left or right to 90 left or right.

Man that's nice...still glad I sent my deposit in sight unseen. How thick is the bottom area where the detent channel is now?

Also, if you can work out a backbottle ASA, that would be super sweet. One of the things I considered was a pistol version, with a center feed, angel threaded elbow adapter and springfed mags that slide on over the dovetail. Backbottle ASA would be a convenient place to plug in a 12 gram changer!

[micromag-man]

Mayvik, that sounds like a fun setup

[SummaryJudgement]

The newest renderings look great. I'm looking forward to the finished product

Keep up the great work!

THX!

Payment sent!

Forest says on the splash ano -- one concern is that since this is the first we are building these we may have issues with tolerences after polishing (we learned this the hard way with the micro and we had plenty of extra bodies that we could just dump in the trash - well not really...)

what polishing method did you use?
polishing metal is what I do, and the method(s)
i use wont effect tolerances in the slightest.
close fits were always an issue an several of my former employers.
one was accurate to -0.0005" at 68*F and that was a nightmare.
I'm just one guy so i couldn't polish an entire production run in
a reasonable time frame, but i could come to where you are and show you
how to do what i do. then the ball would be in your court.

im curious here just cause i was up till 3am woke up at 7am and now its 1am and im just now seeing the new renderings. but why not shave the entire front of flat instead of the channel? im just curious its probaly something simple but im to fuzzy right now for it to make sense. regardless i must say im really liking the look of these
