Custom 10 and 15 round Mrod mag *NEW* Final Version for Sale

[Tomg]

Are these for sale?
And do the acrylic/plastic come in different hues/colors?

[Jr_Explorer]

You are an artist!  I will chime in with the fantasy that you should manufacture these!  But with the reality that you probably have to charge $75 each to make it worth your time how about some fully dimensioned drawings for the various machining stages?  I'd love a right hand 15-16 rnd, .25 caliber magazine.  I have a buddy with a machine shop.

PM sent.

Im still fine tuning the mags trying to make them as perfect as possible before I consider letting them get into other people hands. I have a couple of attempts so far haha. They all work just don't have that perfect feel yet.



For different colors what do you have in mind the housing or the inside piece. Im always open to suggestions.

thanks

Aluminum or even titanium for the housing, so they can be anodized in crazy colors.

I will also be keeping an eye on this  , I have one .25 cal with a BNM breech and this would be a great addition for it and another reason to build a .22 as well. The color would be nice but would be my last factor with 4 PCP's at this point (3 I built and 1 purchased) I really need something other than a hand pump.

It would be cool if there where a Bright Yellow/Green variant, so it would be easy to spot, if you dropped it, or misplaced it.

Nice work. There are a lot of small details which most people do not notice even in such a small devise as a Marauder magazine.

I fixed what Tomg said so it would apply to me.

I've made a couple more prototypes over the last few days. I've found that I'm battling a couple issues. First one is that my end mill that I was using for almost all operations what worn out and giving poor tolerance.  After putting in a new end mill I'm getting much better results.

Next I think my plexiglass fixture for flipping the part to machine the slot for the barrel (the area that is giving me all the issues) is just a bit to flimsy and isn't giving me good repeatability. Tomorrow I'm going to try to make an aluminum fixture and try again. 8th time is the charm.

I also took into consideration some people suggestions for easy to see colors. I painted (poorly) the inside of a magazine housing with a florescent orange paint. Since its inside don't have to worry about it rubbing off or scratching during use and makes a neat look in my opinion.

Looks good, I like it, the orange glow is definitely different! I think just about any color would look good that way.
Do they make Plexiglass in different shades? Translucent!
You are definitely doing a good job in customizing thats for sure.

As far as coloring, you could leave the surface rough, and get with a hydrodipper, and just have them dipped different hunter-safe (  ) colors, or camouflage colors... 

I could send you a Rapid 7 shot mag, if it would help you with designing a smaller mag for the mrods/BNM breeches.  Keep in mind though, that the Rapid's mag doesn't fit in the Mrod, though it would be a good 3d model to work from.  Just an idea.

you let me know when you got the 25 cal mags ready for sale,i want one,maybe a 22 cal as well if the price is right,,,thanks,  like what your doing..

You can get it almost any color I believe. I particularly like the smoked acrylic myself. Looks like tinted windows almost.

Thanks for the suggestion hydro dipping is really neet but not sure on the cost side tho. Also thanks for the magazine offer, but I need to get ahold of the breeches for testing tho. I really like my design I have and can scale it accordingly to account for different calibers, breeches and number of rounds. Unfortunately all I have is my .22cal mrod for now.

Well after multiple attempts and getting mixed results on the magazine I finally pinpointed my issues, 1 a worn end mill, and 2 sloppy fixturing when flipping the part. To try to get the best the absolute best results I could, I did the fallowing.

1. New end mill
2. Changed from a piece of acrylic to a squared off face milled piece of aluminum

3. Used a new zeroing method that aloud me to machine down to the vise level without removing the z stop.
4. Used a zero offset around the part and fixture.
5. Scrubbed down the vice and parallels (twice)

And Im proud to say I have one perfect housing. There is absolute no wiggle once it is snapped in. I am finally satisfied with with the fit met. Just need to make a small change to the cover piece and how should hopefully have something that I can call finished.

That's awesome!!!  If I had any different breech's to send you, I would!!  This is great what you're able to do!

Well I don't have a Mrod but I definitely use Mrod magazines in my .25 ca that has a BNM breech and Green Mountain Barrel. I would love to have 12-15 shots per mag.

WoW!!! I want one,very well made.

I have been giggling about your proposed pricing; if you want an off-the-rack mag for a Daystate or FX, you're into ~$100. I'd be more than willing to pay that much for a custom for long .308 boolits. The work is fantastic...I patiently await the opportunity to buy some of these jewels you produce.
cheers,
Douglas

something to swallow these: http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=72024.0
Not sure I'd want any, or at least much increase in capacity; I anticipate a tune for one 7 or 8-round clip/fill with a 250 Bar tank.

Wow thats one big chunk of lead. What beast of an airgun would be lobbing out these cannon shells?

[PakProtector]
