Re-birth of Project rATS 2.0: A longterm solution to the parts problem

[Snowpuff]

oh man please send me a picture of what they look like i have been searching like crazy but nothing.
also i tried to pm you about the dam mag well but i guess it never went through, i was wondering if you could share that file? also i seen there is an old post about some one with a zeta mag well adapter but the files are not there or broken link.

so i aslways put air in first then the mag i went out side to shoot some more (was shooting it all day with valken graffiti rounds) having the time of my life then it jams so bad i cant take the mag out so i take out the 13ci 3k psi tank then im able take the mag out but the bolt is stuck forward i can feel that rubber oring through the breach so i take it apart and as soon as i take out the guide plate the bolt goes back and i see the metal leaf spring broke, so i put it back together put a mag in and it jams the mag...i think the mag i have jams in the bottom corner im sure you know you made some type of shim for it (which i would like to see a picture of if you dont mind) it jamed 2 balls up the feed and cracked and broke a bit of the black plastic that guides the fingers (easy fix).

and yes i dry fire the gun with no mag then dry fire with mag to see if it cycles then use paint, (with the broken guide plate it will cycle the mag, BUT when i load paintballs it will jam the mag and gun and sometimes try to chop a ball) so it seems this guide makes it so it does a full proper cycle, why i dry fire without paintballs it looks like it cycles because its moving but i don't think its timed right for balls.....i think that's just my idea

Nothing out of the box ... Finding an old spare ifls you best bet ...
This is part of why I've been working on mag adapter. At some point we'll run out of spare plates and mags ...

I can tak a pic of a new one if it helps 👍

PS, if it broke you might have your air up procedure messed up. How do you air up the gun?
Also, do you ever dry fire without the mag?

Any one have a solition for broken guid plates? My metal leaf spring broke after 500 rounds I'm currently trying to make a new one but I don't know how they look when unbroken, here's what I got so far

[XEMON]

Thats the easier side 😁

[chplnstone]

just the clear/left sides, they tend to die faster...

[XEMON]

I have one that was made for me, since then, i got the right printer ...
So i got the tool and the files, i need to give it a go and see how they fit.

Do you need the right or left side? Or both?

[chplnstone]

is anyone successfully printing mag halves? I'm digging through my mags and am finding i could use 8-10 mylar mag left sides...

[XEMON]

Right now it will drop the ball in the gap/transfer tube, i made sure the gap is about 0.68" so it a whole ball and doesn't chop.
Once i have it functional, im gonna look at adding a detent in the transfer tube to hold that last ball in there and don't smash the stack on reload.

[chplnstone]

lookin good, is there a top gap (will it drop a ball during mag swap/flip)? I have an old pump ats listed for sale that could use this (no mag chain pawl)

I'm glad it worked out!

Looks great XEMON

[XEMON]

Proof of concept is in: DMAG will work and I don't even have to chop up the gun!


Thanks again to anson for supplying the mags.

[XEMON]

Im probably the last guy trying to keep playing with it, but i finally got started on it

Thanks to anson for getting me some DAM mags, i was able to start on a magwell adapter.
The first prototype is printing, looks like its gonna fit better than expected.



PS: its round ball only, i may or may not worry about FSR later ...

PS2: It will remain round ball only ... too much problem get introduced trying to feed FSR through the adapter. Also, no mod to the gun needed.

This is a zombie project I can completely get behind. Thanks for keeping the ATS alive.
