AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
No one has asked the simple question. What generation body is it? If you are talking about drilling detents I will assume it's a gen 1 or 2 body. If you have a box of Gen 1 bodies (they had non-removable barrels) they are worth a lot more than you are talking. If you have a box of gen 2's. I personally don't think they are worth all that much. Most Gen 2 Micro's had problems and many of which were caused by the body.
Edit, oh and unless someone did some slick custom milling, you can't put a pump kit on a Micromag body.
I didn't even think to ask...

very odd... its like they aren't completed yet - didnt all the PTP guns that had detents have that silly spring loaded blastig arm into the breech?
One thing to note, the edges of the body are angles, it does not appear they use the newere threaded sear axle, so you will need to either tap it to take the newer axles, or have an old style frame that comes up over the body to hold the pin in place. Or get out the electrical tape
I guess one thing we should have asked... why did the shop have this box of unfinished micromag bodies in the first place? did they used to do custom work? Were they rejects from factory they wanted to do somethign with?

styg
You are correct, they use the old sear pins which used the wings on the grip frame to hold them in.
All MicroMags used the spring loaded arm style detent. in the Gen I's and II's it was a one piece plastic detent that was bolted on to the side. The newer Micro's had the body of the detent milled into the body. It was a nice nicer looking design, but sucked when it came to replacing, cleaning or rebuilding.
Ill make sure it is all done correctly, if not i will give you a full refund.
Im not sure why he had so many bodies, but he had them for Many years.
The bodies are complete other then the ball detents. I dont really know the whole story, but as long as they come with a detent then im sure everyone will be happy.
Ill update you guys on the pump kits. Im not exactly sure how many there are but so far there is one with a rail, pump arm, and the rest of the stuff for a pump.
I need the complete kit and rail.
I have a couple powerfeed pump bodies.
How much ?
