I was watching the Q/A with simon last night. the ID body looks amazing. It's not even anything close to something I will ever have or use but I can't deny it's impressive. these manufactures are gonna mess around and figure out they can make money on AR15 platform and we are gonna lose em from paintball...Comment

I wonder if they can be poked hard enough to make us electrococker guys a sweet frame since everyone else hates us.Comment

Haha no joke, paintball margins are rough. It's more of a passion project at the moment but it would be nice to make some money. I don't really want to mess with the ATF so I don't think I'd make AR's but there are better ways to make money than paintball.I was watching the Q/A with simon last night. the ID body looks amazing.

I partnered up with Langills Machine https://langills.com/ so they could definitely make a sweet ecocker frame. It's just a matter of cost. If the design is simple and it's aluminum without any insane tolerances we might be able to make it affordably. I wouldn't mind programming it for them because I've got a soft spot for cockers, but the setup/fixturing/machining time is going to be the expensive part.Comment

I’ve been hoping someone releases a cocker frame that is designed around the sci-fi board autococker board and front facing LCD screen, and maybe slightly change the ergonomics and other small items to allow the use of different grips etc.Comment

Hey man, Welcome to MCB! We love having content creators here on this site. What's the word? What's your story? I'm sure I'm not the only interested guy.

Thanks! I've been playing for about 15 years. Went to UCD and became a machinist/industrial designer. I went into the trade to be able to design/make my own ideas and it's taken about ten years to get to a place where I actually can. I've been the lead 5 axis programmer at several prototyping facilities making everything from jet engines to robotic submarines, along with working as a 5 axis applications engineer for DMG Mori (a high end machine tool builder). I've taken all my knowledge and teamed up with a machine shop in Sacramento, California where I have access to the machinery I need, but only on the weekends when the shop sleeps. I do all my design in Solidworks and program in Gibbscam. Currently on a Haas UMC750 which does the job in aluminum just fine.
Recently I got into magfeed but the only options for play are all milsim guns. I think milsim is awesome, but since I love airball I wanted a "spacegun" magfeed option. So I'm making a magfeed conversion kit for the emek to emf100. I think a lot of people would enjoy magfeed if there were some affordable options, so I'm going to sell the kit for $300, and I'll be releasing it next month.
After that I'll be making a 50 round drum feed magazine for the emf100. I think magfeed would be a lot more fun if there was a bit more capacity, so that one will be awesome. If planet ever releases their 20 round continuous mags that's help as well. After that I'll probably make an AR style emek to magfeed conversion kit. I've got a youtube channel with some pretty successful videos, so check those out if you like. There's one for this product linked here: https://youtu.be/XrdztAs6g2U . I'll also be posting progress on my instagram @_jordan_hart if you want to follow what I'm up to. Nice to meet all of you, I've been more of a pbn guy but I like the more tinkering focused aspect of this forum.Comment

Wait a conversion for the Emek? Interesting it must be a frame sounds cool. What mag will it use?Comment

It's going to be a full kit, upper and lower. Dye magazines, so same as the emf100. Just finished up the modeling on the lower, getting tooling ordered and working on fixtures made now.

Same here, if you do a pre-order list I would jump at the opportunity!!! -
Thanks guys! Haha that makes me feel better about the amount of time I've spent on these. Should I do pre-orders? I feel like whenever I've pre-ordered something it always ends up being a bad experience due to delays, product changes etc. Then again it would be nice to offset some of this production cost up front. I should have my first production run in four-ish weeks. -
Maybe keep a list of interested people. I definitely want the full kit frame and body. Keep us in the loop.
