Well thanks for the offered help, I feel pretty comfortable with how it functions though. I talked with Palmer's, seems their CNC Mill recently went down and my project was next to be milled up. Although You could mill up that banjo bolt for 50$ instead of 100$, I've already entered into a verbal agreement that I would prefer not to back out of, and ruin future business, if any. However thank you again. Also, I'm currently working on redesigning my trigger frame, all I have to say about it is that the idea is crazy, but I think I've figured out a way to get my own design to have a select fire mode of single shots, 3-round burst and full auto. Just depends if I can fit everything into the grip frame. Working on some animations right now, doubt I'll be posting those those

Very easy answer....

There's magical elves inside the front block....

[new ion?]

I remember when people used to say WGP bodies had gnomes...

[Geldor]

Well, great news! Informed by Palmer's today my front block and banjo have been completed! However I'm deployed over seas right now. Hopefully once they arrive back home, I'll get my family to send some pictures to me. So maybe in a week or two I'll get the pictures posted. Then it'll be on to finishing the grip frame and then it's game time baby!

**EDIT**

Well I got one photo from Craig , more to still come though . . .

[Geldor]

Well got the pictures faster than I expected, so without further ado . . .

Started to work on the grip frame idea this morning, I figured with the "almost normal" front block, that I'm going to try to have everything integrated into the grip frame so that at first glance it looks completely normal to the untrained eye. On the one side of the grip it'll take the normal 90 degree bent timing rod, but on the other side it'll take a straight timing rod that will connect to an internal bracket that runs out the back end of the frame. Then I'll have a bolt on actuator that will hang off of the back block, to trigger the frames ram.





Any thoughts?

[klaut00]

That's a cool idea. I like how your doing it in a unique way in lieu of just trying to copy the original design. Keep it up.

[R420804]

I'm really interested in you project and getting a copy for myself

If this comes out and reasonably priced...I might just have to find a 2k+ cocker to buy.

Well so far with the custom front block and banjo I'm 300$ into the project. Only bad part about this kit is that it would only work on full bodied cockers (because it has no port under the block) Even worse is the fact that the body I want to put this on is a mini. So I've gotta get a sort of "mini repair block" to bolt onto the front. But once I get back to the states here in a month or so I'll start working on this again. I need my calipers and spare parts so i can accurate measurements before i finish this. Current plan is to modify a high end slide frame and retrofit it with a Clippard ram. I'm thinking the stroke on that is more then enough.

[Geldor]

Been waiting a while on getting these, but the more I'm in debt to the project, the more likely I'll be to finish it! lol

[hutcho]

Gotta follow this one. I would be in if you end up selling them.

[Geldor]

Here She is, A Black Magic with some new magic to go along with it. Tested the frame on my Boston reflex autococker. Got it to cycle a couple of time before I ran out of air, since then I ran down to the hardware store and had to re-spring the frame. Last custom thing to do now is second 3-way actuator rod, which I'm still trying to figure out what the best way to accomplish that is, now that I've gotten this far. Oh and to drill/tap a mounting hole for the on/off slide check too (which will sit mirrored to the ram).

[Geldor]

I'll try to get a test video up next week. The final parts which are the 2 timing rods and 2 couplers for the 3-ways and also a new vasa are in route. Until then one more piece of eye candy, Just got the slide check mounted.

[719Hooligan]

Hurry up and get this ready, my birthday is on Monday. This would make the perfect gift.
You wouldn't happen to be the fella who let me shoot the bps reflex at Covert Ops that day I was reffing there? That was and still is one of the highpoints of my paintball memories.

[Geldor]

Yea that was definitely me at Covert Ops Haven't seen you down there in a while though.

[719Hooligan]

Have not been out o Ops in a minute, I wanted to go out today, but had to work. We need to meet up some time, I picked up a p/a Brad Nestle SHO with an auto trigger. You need to shoot it, it will make you smile.

[Geldor]

well sorry might not be able to get a video up this week. It's working great, for the first 2 or 3 shots (by manually pulling the second timing rod), then the secondary 3 way blows an O-ring off, and then grip frame ram can't get enough pressure to push my finger. SO O-rings are now on order, but the gun is going out for anodizing in about a day or two. So hopefully now in about 2-3 weeks once i get it back, together and working; then 'll shoot a video of it. I'll keep you all updated.

EDIT:

Okay, I lied found an extra O-Ring in an old wgp 3-way, so heres two little quick tests but these really do no justice for the capable speed at all, feels just like my BPS Reflex, but with a shorter pull.
