What feed tube is used on the X-mag??

[vaypourus]

As the title says, what feed tube is on the X-mag? I can't find a good picture, but it looks to me like the feed tube is still threaded into the vertical feed breech. I really like the design of it...who makes it and how do I get just the feed tube?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe it uses removable breeches.

I know it uses removeable breeches. It looks to me thought that the feed tube/breech is not machined piece of aluminum, rather a feed tube that is still threaded into that breech section.

If this is the case, I want to know who makes the feed tube.

On my X-Mag it is a 'fixed' piece. Although I haven't taken apart my breeches (which I don't ever plan to do) It looks like they are two pieces held together by a pair of set screws on either end of the breech (front and back).

I'm 99% sure this is an exclusive piece, not available for other markers. But they do look sweet, don't they?

its one piece
if you would like something else(warp right/left) you have to buy the other modual for it.

It appears to all be one piece of Aluminum and if its not it's certainly joined as if it's one and not threaded so as you could take it apart.

It's not one piece- the feed tube is threaded into the breach piece.

yes it looks like its more than one piece but i bet you
that you dont get it apart

Will yours unthread Jam? I was afraid to try cause I had no idea if they were or not and I cannot see any sign of them so they are perfectly set. Wonder if they are lock tighted in there too?

cphilip dont even try it
look on the inside of the breech where it is cut out for the bolt the bottom of this said removable neck extends farther down.
i just looked at it a little closer
it is one piece as far as i can tell there is no seam.

*edit
another thing i dont think there would be enough room for
threads to hold the neck on anyway

although i could be wrong since im not sure what the set screws do?

[cphilip]

Oh no! I am not going to even THINK about trying it...

[JAM]

OK, I think we're all seeing the same thing, but taking it diff ways...

the whole neck piece is one piece and it threads into the breach block. it's locked in place by a set screw. the bottom of the feedneck piece is machined to clear the bolt and such, so i don't think it's a good idea to remove it and put a dif one in there.

are we on the same page?

[fire1811]

yep thats exactly what im talkin bout

but come on jam be the first to unscrew it and tell
me and cphilip what happens

[vaypourus]

Well, thanks for the replies all. I guess I will have to go with some cheesy Angel low rise instead...

[cphilip]

Yep I agree. Even though it was inserted at some point it appears not to be desingned for regular removal...

but we do want you to try on yours Jam and take pictures!
