would an outdoor vinyl be a better idea? the stuff you make window frames out of? i know that stuff is easy to work with, and is fairly durable. and its cheap.

[gunboy69 50]

Wow! It sure looks like you pulled it off! Thats a nice job. I got into this late,so

I'm hurtin for any size mag. Just tell me when I can order!

[badz2801 0]

Well ive invested some cash into this, but at the same time I don't want to sell crap. I will let everyone know once they are finished being tested.

Do they have the imbedded reinforcement metal in the tangs? Also, are the body and follower cast copies of the 8 round factory mag?

[badz2801 0]

Metal can be added, but it does not appear to strengthen it. Instead, its weaker in terms of the magazine body. The knotch takes less wear with metal.

 

They are correct in terms of size and have my own spin on them.

Oh F'ing great......now I have to be tied to the pc for god knows how long waiting for the release so I don't get beat out by the rest of you gready bastards. Just like camping out for concert tickets in the 70's, or are we going to go by lottery number Hey,If it gets me a nice meaty mag sooner, I'm a high end Auto Tech with lots of technical ability and knowlege and am far less likely to screw up one of your first production runs than some of these no thumbs creatures. Just food for thought when it's time to start mailing.

Oh, yeah.......BEER

Everyone will get one who wants one. I am producing them now and adding the finishing touches. It will probably be 2-3 weeks out before I start selling. So you don't have to sit here glued. I will setup a mailing list on my website, it will announce when they go on sale so everyone will be informed. All you have to do is enter your e-mail address. You wont get spam and I won't sell your address like Forbes does.

 

P.S. - Dont buy that magazine (Forbes), its a bunch of bloated B.S.

So right away, you are planning to just offer the bodies? Are you envisioning producing the followers, floorplates, etc. at a later date? Feed lips?

 

Jeric

[badz2801 0]

I am going to be offering everything except springs up front. Springs will be along soon after. You can also get one from ZL100, he said he would have chrome springs in a few weeks. I have made several springs but I am working on a production setup to make them before I sell them. People who purchase the bodies, followers, floor plate and spring follower (one whole package) will be given a discount. They will be recorded via serial per sale. You can use the 5 round springs in my magazines, they will work for as long as it takes me to get spring production up and going.

Ian,

I was trying to look at your site & this is what comes up. Not having any computer science(or brains) stinks! Is it my computer & server stuff that is messing up or what? Thanks, MLM59.

Im gonna guess that these are casted from a two part resin. Im affraid if this is the case your gonna run into a variety of problems. The biggest ones are gonna be the strength of the material and the actuall production. From past experience I have found that the actuall molds wear out very fast which leads to a huge increase in flashing and then to the actuall mold coming apart. I would start small at a couple dozen or untill the mold wears out then make another mold and start again. If it seems like something that can be managed with consistant quality then the next step would be to test them out. Only after that would I stock up on supplies and commit to production. If you can get it all to work you will have a gold mine.

These arn't cast (not in the traditional sense, then again injection molding is a high pressure, high temp casting process), its a new process...ie patent pending. To date I have 341 magazines in house, the metal components are being finished as we speak. The magazines are strong, but are not super strong. They cant take anything beyond what a traditional magazine is exposed to.
