    my first ep mag...intelliframe...lots of pics

    Let me first say, this is a workhorse, not a beauty pageant winner.....so dont rag on it for being a little beat up.

    This is actually the second incarnation of this EP mag. First attempt was about 4 years ago(right as the ULT came out). It used a basic stamp and a giant noid that needed 12 volt. It worked great then, but it needed an external battery. So I scrapped it....and tried the ULT instead.

    But now it is back.....


    Other side:



    Reg cover off, electrical tape is there to pinch the line against the reg. LP line goes up through the RT foregrip, and into the rail, then back into the grip....completely hidden:



    Up close of the switch.....extra hole is from my initial location, but the trigger was too soft and didnt have enough return force. Where its at now is by far the best feeling trigger ive ever used:


    Now for the money shot.....internals:


    My 3 way adjustable trigger(pre, post, activation point) you can also see the switch a little:

    Yes, I realize thats not an AGD screw....mine is too short for the ULE body and RT rail....happened to have that one handy and I'm too cheap to pay shipping for 1 screw.


    The only real external way to tell its not a normal mag:



    On/off switch is a membrane pad located under the H at the bottom of the grip, the eye switch is a membrane pad located under the H at the top of the grip. I'm amazed ive never seen anyone else do this because it works GREAT. Nothing has ever accidently turned it on....it takes deliberate pressure right at the corners of the grips to depress the membrane.

    Eyes are coming.....probably making the eye holder/cover tomorrow if theres time.

    Only tools really used were a drill press, dremel, hacksaw, file, and taps. I have access to a mill, but the dremel was much easier for all the test fitting.

    Anyhow, just thought Id show off my little project.....cant wait till the it gets nicer out to use it again. I'll snap some more pics after the eyes are finished.

        To be honest, it looks like you threw it together after looking through a graveyard of paintball guns. But... thats the cool part! You can totally throw people off when they look at it, because they'll think it's a piece of junk until you rip with it. And no, I wouldn't recommend ano, lol. It think it'll do quite well just how it is. Great work man, a true tinkerer. Who gives a rats azz how it looks, as long as it does what you want it to do!

              LOL....bet you would never guess that it started off as a standard feed classic about 10 years ago. I'll have to admit, the RT rail and foregrip did come from a friends junk bin, but everything else was purchased from AGD new. I think the rail and foregrip are the parts that make it look bad...other than that I dont think its that horrible. Theres some kind of epoxy on the foregrip, nothing will take it off.

              after thinking how much money is sunk into this thing....just dont make fun of it too much lol


              txaggie08: i'll get some pics good pics of the airline when the eyes come in....hopefully tomorrow.

                thanks! Ive always loved the way the RT pro looks and wanted to keep it as stock looking as possible.

                  thats looks like a mean sleeper. i like how you mounted the led. im planning on doing the same on my ep frame. when you dont have eyes hooked up does the board default to capped semi or uncapped?
                  mag for now, mag forever

                      When you dont have eyes hooked up it is the same as having the eyes blocked all the time. All the modes work just like you have eyes(except of course it cant see if the balls in the chamber) from the manual:
                      -Red - NPPL Semi
                      -Green - Reactive Trigger
                      -Blue - 3 Round Burst
                      -White - Full Auto
                      -Red - CFOA (capped semi)
                      -Purple - Nitro
                      -Yellow - PSP Ramping
                      -Teal - NXL Auto
                      are all the different modes. Dont know if the NPPL is uncapped or not though

                        if your mounting the LED like mine, you might want to do it just a little higher than mine. Sometimes my hand doesnt fully cover it when im shooting.....and that little sucker is bright, espically when its flashing.

                          Hilltop,

                          That is one great sleeper mag you got there... I know you said don't rag you about it, but for the front frame screw you can go down to your local Home Depot and pick up a Button Cap 10/32 screw in any length... I had to replace the one in my Micromag (had a regular allen head) and my Tac One (stripped allen head) and picked a button head screw there... it costs $ .75 and you get 2 screws (stainless no less)...

                          Once again Sweet Mag !!!

                            doh.....IDK if I will replace it though. I use the trigger adjustment allen key to remove it not a screw driver. Honestly its just as easy to install/remove as a regular one.

                            thanks for the complement and pointing out a local screw source! Maybe if I happen to be in the lowes/home depot hardware section I'll pick one up. Till then....ghetto straight blade screw all the way I think it adds character

                              Hilltop,

                              No Problem... Just one thing,,, I went to Lowes first and they didn't have what I was looking for and ended up across the street at Home Depot and couldn't believe the hidden treasure chest of button head screws...

                              You are right on keeping the Ghetto Screw... Keep it sleeper and beater all the way !!! Light some haters up at your next match and have a blast doing it while laughing the whole time to yourself!!!
