After deciding whether or not I should buy medium cap or low cap magazines for my M4, I figured why not make some of both and see which I prefer. This afternoon I went to my local art store to buy some plexi-glass, but after seeing the price, I kind of lost hope. I wasn't even sure if the final product would work at all. When I got back home I remembered that I had some sheet metal left over from another project, and thought that it would be fine.
Three hours later, this is what I came up with.
Oh, and I had no thought of asthetics for this prototype, so please don't judge looks untill I finish off a final product. The final product will be a lot more realistic, and hopefully not very noticable that it was made in my basement, because now that I know this works, I will go ahead and buy some plexiglass for future mags(and that is quite a bit easier to work with).
Mag holds 28 bbs.
The mag feeds perfectly, and internals are easy to replace if anything happens.
If you would like pics of any specific part, let me know, and I'll put them up.
Suggestions, comments, questions?
And I apoligize for posting in the Accesories forum, but I figured it is the most acceptable place besides the showcase forums as for some reason I cannot post there(I guess because I am not AVed?)
