    Magazine Fed AutoMag Designs; Opinions Wanted...

    Recently a person posted a thread about a Firearm that shares a kinship with my favorite SMG of all time the 9mm Sterling.

    This particular design is one that could be built using an AutoMag as the core/base gun very easily and remain Magazine fed.
    Using a 20 or 30rnd spring feed and or force feed warp or hopper.

    If I were to start building Magazine fed AutoMags in similar or identical designs to the guns pictured below;

    Would you or anyone you know be interested in any of them?
    Ask anyone you know that likes or shoots AutoMags.
    I want to see if people want these before I start building anything lol!
    Please post your thoughts or opinions on the design ideas or PM them to me directly.

    That would be fun. A warp body would probably help.

      Now I've been thinking for a while that you could mount a magazine from a RAP marker similar to that of the sterling.

        all you need to do is get that mag valve forward enough for the feedneck to clear the gripframe

        then you can underfeed it with magazines....make it look like a tommy gun

          Just my .02,

          Make it something that you can upgrade to an existing marker. I like the side feed for that personally. Then all you need is a warp body.

            If you can get it to mag feed First Strike rounds, there are definitely interested people

            and the sterling is a cool gun

              A magazine that can feed both regular paintballs and the first strike paintballs would be interesting. I was thinking of trying this myself. I want to pick up an old mag body and a barrel and do a little modifying. It would be a fun project.

                make a basic body that can be put into existing metal airsoft shells so that it is more marketable and not just a specific marker.

                    it's easier to move the trigger group, particularly if going Pneumag. hint...hint...

                      that shouldn't be a big issue.
                      i see the FSR feeding reasonably easily.

                        can't get metal Airsoft guns here in Canada.

                          I will not have my name associated with anything as low quality as RAP4.
                          I will build the Magazines the way I build everything, by hand and built to last.

                            I love Sterlings and earlier wooden stocked MP.18's, MP. 28's, and Lanchesters! That would be awesome!

                            I hate the Tec-9's you have pictured though, those are no class ghetto boy toys.

                              I would love a mag fed (underbarrel not side) automag. I know i could do everything except the mags that is what stumps me. I would deffinately buy if it had 20+ rounds per magazine. I'm getting excited!!!
