A drop-in kit for a spooler would probably be very costly.

I agree...Lasoya said there is a blueprint for the rotor IF the .50 cal ever goes through..which i highly doubt it will after everybody is starting to find out the real deal

it would be way harder than a gun like an ego.

the easiest way i can think to do it is :

make a bolt teh same except for the front 1 inch is 50 cal, the rest is the same diameter so it doesnt need a different beer can...if thats even possible depending on how much space it needs for cycling. i dunno. just some way that the bolt can be replaced without everything else.

no wait, then there needs to be an insert back there. can that be done?

and then another new eye pipe?

how would all this work? ugh. all this trouble could potentially steer people away from spool valves IF 50 cal eventually does start taking over just to be able to switch back and forth easy without a new gun.

With the bolt fully retracted, the first inch of the bolt is inside the beer can, so if the beer can is left the same, it wouldn't seal the bolt. As soon as the bolt started to move back, and the .50 cal section reached the front of the beer can, air from the LPR would leak out of the front of the beercan, and the bolt would most likely not cycle.

Short of perhaps switching to a breech drop design rather than a bore drop design, I don't think you can avoid the need to change the beer can.

although.. imagine a dm. with a super tiny bolt section. the body/bolt/breech/ everything could be a ton smaller...

im open to the .50 idea. but idk bout the price aspect of it.

a drop in kit can b done. but like others said. it would need a bit of "moding" to make it.
