"powerfeed" mags

[Mrmacdude]

i know a lot of people who are turned off of automags and minimags because there is no vertical feed. My idea is to make a "vertical powerfeed" that functions as a powerfeed but leaves the hopper dead center.

the idea involves taking the p/f that exists now and turning it 90 degrees. this puts the end part of the p/f into the gun, but i have a drawing which shows hows it could work. Ill find a scanner or draw it on a comp some other time.

huh

Well I think that TK has already thought of that one. He calls it a NO-RISE

[Mrmacdude]

not like the no rise, they arent optimal for most classic/minimag owners, i.e. me. halo=cashmoneyea.
a powerfeed thats, well, straight.

[Mrmacdude]

Tom's been there. Tom's done that.

They were the "european" powerfeeds. Sosta or some crazy european thougth them up. A bunch of the first original RT's came with em, but people reported misfeeding and chops (which Tom now chalks up to the old non parabolic elbows).

Anyhow, i've had an RT one, and i bought one that fits regular mags too. Got it from Edboe, you see em around every so often.

Personally I love em :)
