DocsMachine , question for you good sir:
Recently acquired one of your AC adapters for mags. I tried to install it in my sydarm but it feels really tight. I might be neglecting something really obvious too, so forgive me. Just want to be careful with this relic.

Doc, since you don't answer email or pm I'll once again post here. I'd like my solenoids back. Months have passed and there have been no updates or communications from you. I can only assume that you are not interested or too busy to work on this project. I'd like to move forward with this and thus far I'm still waiting on you.

This, suffice to say, is not the case.

Pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
[...]or too busy to work on this project.
I have a couple hundred dollars in material already cut and turned for this particular project, and several hours into doing up some proper drawings for the part. But hey, won't be the first time I've thrown money away... Good thing I make so much of it, right?
I'd like to move forward with this and thus far I'm still waiting on you.

For paintball stuff, I have a longish list of fun custom projects that I'd love to do. I've had a plan for a pretty radical PGP for, like, fifteen years. Just before the old board croaked, I posted a thread starting a recreation of a classic early Carter pump. I have the grip and a couple other parts, and still want to finish it before too long. I have a 'Cocker I disassembled and sent off to have the anno stripped- before I learned how to do it myself - back in '96 (!) and it hasn't been touched since. I even have one of the rare old Marksmann/Smart Parts solid aluminum early-syle single-screw-grip slider frames for it.
And the latest addition is now that Curt's talking about recreating the Morlock, I want to recreate my very early prototype E-Cocker, which I made before anyone'd even heard of the E-Blade.
I also still have a ton of shop projects, machine-rebuild projects, a couple cars and hot-rods I'd love to work on...
Out of sheer curiosity, How many customer projects do you have in queue right now vs. personal projects?
The titanium bolt pin I posted in the Dead Zone is literally the first truly personal project I've worked on in probably six months.

How hard would it be to Make a aluminum pro/carbine Front forgrip/feed neck. (Perhaps with a larger barrel opening or feed neck only so I can run my crossover barrel kit in it)? what would something like that cost?
Alternatively I thought it be possibly to make a adapter that would mount the 98style feed necks onto the carbine/pro lite series markers.
I truly enjoy running my pro/carbine. It’s a toss up between the carbine or the 68 Automag as my hands down favourite markers of all time. And although my forgrips in perfect condition. It’s the one part that’s near impossible to replace if it were to ever have an issue.AGD 68 Automag, AGD ULE 68 Automag, Azodin KPII, Tippmann SL68II, Umarex TR50.

Hoping those PGP grip frames I sent you a while back are still in your queue and not the post office black hole?
I heard back from doc in less than 48hrs recently.

You could try a clamp-on feed neck (which would be considerably less expensive) and maybe something like a separate wood foregrip...

Doc, post some photos of all the work you've done on the project. Hundreds of dollars in materials? You must seriously overpay for aluminum. Frankly I don't buy it and I'm am definitely not the only one considering the pm I have received since my last post. I'm glad your time has value but mine does not. Getting the solenoids back is a moot point. There's already functional prototypes with more solenoids that you guessed it I also paid for because you can't get the job done. All these hours invested. Lol my guy 3d printed a prototype to test fit and cut them on his from aluminum on his cnc in 4 hours. Thats from drawing to production. Maybe your just not as good as you think. Better yet don't even worry about a measly 80 bucks in parts I sent you. Keep them. You obviously need the money more than I. I just expected follow through on you word. If 5 months isn't enough time for you to complete a job you are obviously not the guy.

-Oh aren't you cute. I love it when people try their best passive-aggressiveness on me. Stamp those feet!

A twelve-foot stick of 1-1/4" aluminum round. That's 12' at $5.40 a foot local price. There's $65. No big so far, right? I cut that bar into approximately 56 pieces roughly 2-1/2" long. These are my blanks, and that took me roughly an hour. I have a faster saw, but it produces a wider kerf, and I'd have only been able to get 52 pieces out of the same bar.
Each one was then faced in the lathe to give me a consistent length, First one end, then the other, an unfortunate requirement when using manual machines. That's 56 pieces each loaded twice and faced in separate operations. That all took me about another three hours.
So that's $65 in the actual raw material, and another $300 or so in labor INTO the material.

If you want plain/unannoed, I can get you one today. If you're looking for black, those are still 4-6 weeks out.
