After waiting four months for the UMF, and after spending two months buying/collecting parts, and after spending two or so weeks fiddling and drilling and tapping and tinkering...
It's finally done.
First, the pics!
And some pics of the Internals
(That paper clip has since been replaced with a custom-built pin.)
(This last one is a close-up of the air line coming out of the 15* ASA. When the 800psi air hits the T-fitting attached to the Palmer's Fatty, part of it is redirected and lowered to about 60psi. Then, it goes up into the blemished 15* ASA and out the little port that I drilled and tapped.)
And I even have some high-quality videos! (They're about 6mb each.)
Shooting with a straw! (right-click...save as)!
Walking the pneumag! (right-click...save as)!
I still need to practice my trigger walking. This is the first gun I've ever owned that is walkable, so I need LOTS of practice. I can do 11 bps when I'm just messing around in my house, but when I'm out on the field and my fingers get cold, it's a different story.
Specs:
Things I learned in the process:
Special thanks for cyberave and pneumagger for the tips, pointers, and parts! You guys rock!

Specs:
- X-Valve
- Logic UMF with Dye Stickies
- ULE body
- CCM feedneck
- Splinter rail
- Scepter barrel kit
- 15* blemished ASA (you can't even tell I painted it myself, can you?)
- Palmers Shorty LPR with T fitting
- MacDev Pushbutton LegionAir (which slides nicely onto the rail on the bottom of the UMF)
- MSV-2 and MPA piston for the pneumatics
- black shrink-wrap with AO logo
Things I learned in the process:
- You don't need all those awesome tools to make a pneumag (although I'm sure they help). I did this all by myself with a hand-held drill, roto-zip, a few clamps, and lots of little tools that I bought for about $50.
- Function is more important than form. This gun was originally supposed to have a Dallara and some other goodies, but they had to be sacrificed because they just wouldn't work with some other parts I bought. But when it was all said and done, I LOVE the way it turned out.
- Pneumags are FAST! Even with my lousy trigger-walking, I was able to outshoot a Halo Frontman hopper. (It's rated for 8-12 bps, and I definitely hit higher bursts than that while practicing with some reballs.) After my first game with the pneumag, I decided to upgrade to a Halo B.
- Speaking of which, reballs bounce. A LOT. And then they roll under everything and you can never find them again.
- Oh... and the shot counters on Halo Frontmans? They suck. After blowing through a bag of 500 reballs, it said I had only fired 237 shots.
- I can get about 800 shots from a 68/4500 tank with the pneumatic conversion and Level 10... which is plenty for my needs.

. have fun with it!
and watching all the video 
no fatty reg or 15* though.
