Default My new Mag...



With left hand...

With right hand...


The feed hose was split at the end and not long enough to cut it off and with Normandy only 4 days away, I created the tubing out of 3/4" pipe and fittings I had...

The pipe, where it meets the Warp at the bottom, was flared slightly into a kind of 'funnel' by setting a Ballpeen hammer in the end of the pipe and tapping it with a dead-shot mallet. This allows unrestricted feeding into the tube. A 90* elbow fits onto that and that fits onto a 45* elbow, which mounts onto the angle-feed. This provides a 'seamless' flow so that any sharp enges (that I might have missed) won't cut a ball.

I wrapped the entire contraption with electrical tape for now because I don't have time to mess with it any more this week.

Whutchya think??

Yep. I was going to use my Ion as my primary but we just received our orders and...well...let's just say I'm going to be in the field a loooooooooooooooong time...lol.

If I use my Ion, I'm going to be burning through the paint like there's no tomorrow...mostly because I have no self control when it comes to slowing my trigger fingers.. ..

For me to be out in the field for an extended period of time, I need to conserve paint and air. My Ion's way more efficient than the Mag but the Mag is a slower shooter. I'd rather carry a spare 20 oz than a case of paint - especially since I made a 5+4 to mount on my vest. Any more paint and I won't be able to move...lol...

Haven't seen a warp feed in a couple of years! Carrying all that paint PLUS a warp fed mag - man, you better eat your Wheaties and bring an energy bar...

Better yet, since the tube was fixed up, put it in a back back, filled with paint and run it like that....remember to lift with your legs, not your back, LOL!

Mag looks great, by the way - I like the smooth look to those babies...

Simple design, simple operation, closed bolt mechanism...old schoolness is a plus and you have to shoot one to be able to appreciate it.

Thanks and Ok.
Perhaps...I want to see how I like it first before I go selling it off. Besides..."Canukland" is going to cost you

I know, they are a dying breed it seems.

I'm plenty strong for the task...lol. I am, however, taking the energy bars for when I'm feeling the 80*F heat...lol.

You wouldn't be suggesting I create my own TurtlePack...now would you?

Yep...thanks.
