    New mag project

    Just picked this up as a project, anything I should really pay attention to when ordering replacement parts? Also do they have drop in trigger guards for these?

    First thing I would do is air it up and see if it leaks somewhere and/or get a rebuild kit. The AGD Wizards will chime in soon with more info I’m sure. As far I know if you want a trigger guard you’ll have to buy another frame. That one looks to be cut off.

        Getting rid of that body and putting a power feed one on would be my first order of business. Those early bodies are terrible to play with because so much is hanging off the side of the gun once you put a loader on.
        Trigger frame your out of luck. Unless you home brew something your looking at buying a new frame. The expansion chamber kinda acts like one so there's always that.
        Valve shouldn't need much. Maybe a rebuild kit and that's done.

          The feedneck can be cut and use a Sconi adaptor

          If you plan on changing the body, I would really recomment to change it for a ULE body. They are a little more expensive, but so much better.
          The ANS reg work. But so does the stock one.

            Yup cut down the neck some and you can use a clamping feedneck. I have couple setup this way.

            Trigger guard you can use spyder trigger guards that utilize the front frame screw. Few options on ebay. It have someone 3d print you one, make one by bending flat metal bar or tube. Seen a few of those that do not look bad.

              For the cut trigger you can probably find one empty with a good trigger guard for cheap (you will only have to transfer your trigger, pin and grip hardware). If you have not found one by the end of the week, I am sure I have one I could let go for cheap. Just not home currently.

                woouulf has some trigger guards that would accommodate a double trigger.

                  One thing to mention is that for o-rings, stick with AGD. They have all the proper materials and durometers and are quality. In fact, they still sell everything needed to rebuild these.
