So you want to build a Mechanical Ion?

[thirp]

Just need to find a handful of cheap ions to play around with

Does anyone have 3D-printed files for SMAV-3 mounts that fit the SP-1's frame?

[The Inflicted]

Also, anyone got a spare T-33-2? Clippard only sells them in large quantities and there's a 20 day lead time.

...or the guts out of a broken SP-1 Solenoid? I've got an intact housing but I'm missing the moving seal piece.

Mettle Air stocks something similar.

You could buy a Dye Rize or Rail solenoid (2011 or later) and mod the cap to fit. The disc armature will work as well as the cap. Or you could replace the entire solenoid with a Rize noid. This thread has the details

Updated my OP for the "Tippmann Ion" bolts. Discussion in the Tippmann forum and link to the ANS listing at the bottom!

I won’t comment on a diy attempt. SSC is local to me and charges $10/bolt for the dual tail mod. It’s worth it to me to meet him at the local field and just trade cash for work.

Is Stanchy still in the biz? I can't get him to return my emails.

He recently machined two ion bolts, a B2K bolt, and a trilogy feed neck for me. 🤷♂️ Try FB

I don't suppose there would be any way you could adapt your SMAV mount to work on an SP-1, is there?

Maaaaaan, we talked about this on Reddit. Lol! I'm prepping for WCPL along with life stuff. I planned on starting in on it after I got back. 😉
