Has anyone ever made the a-5 magazine feedable? Any plans for it? Possible?
Any ideas, contibutions, or help would be nice. I would absolutely love an a-5
magazine feedable for woodsball.

Please no negative feedback. If you have nothing to contribute, leave.

Nope, I'm sure it can be done, but it wouldn't be cost effective or anywhere close to being easy

How big of a mag are you thinking of making?

A 10 round one can based on a spring feed like what if found on some of the semi-auto pistols

Larger ones can be based off the cyclone feed but would take more work.

How about a fifteen round? Will that be able to be spring feed?
Can I just cut a whole right under where the paintballs are supposed to be and
make a clip that will snap on?

Mortisdeum

Ya you could but alot of it depends on your fabrication skills and some planning.

If you want you cold go for the "SMG" look and have the clip sticking out the side like one of the old Tippmann guns the SMG 68

I am not really likeing the idea of having it out to the side.
Perhaps a design like the thompson smg clip? Stick or Drum Ideas?

Danh Vu

Any good plans on how to do this?

Mortisdeum

ya sketched out but nothing done up in CAD yet. To tired at the moment I spent most of my day fixing about 60 rental air tanks that all had different problems and running air fill as well.

I got 2 version drawn, a stick that is spring fed and a "Drum" style the is based off the Cyclone feed.

But give me a week or so and I will have some rough designs and an estimate on how long it would take me to do it.

BTW you do have a spare set of shells for your A-5 that can be sent in for machining if needed?

Also pm me your A-5 set up so that I can use the right set of measurements to lay things out

Thanks for all your help!
Spare set of shells for a-5???

I would love some rough designs so I can make it.

Thats alot of rental tanks... Why you fixin em all?

Danh Vu

When you said "I'll estimate how long it'll take me to do it"
Does this mean you can help me mod it?
I'll pay of course. An estimate of the costs?

Mortisdeum

Cause it's less expensive to replace broken parts and regs then it is to buy new tanks when all the tanks are compressed air tanks and are good for another 3 years.

Once a design is decided on it can take any where from one to two weeks for me to do the work and test to see that every thing is working. This is after the marker arrives at the shop.

Final cost depends on the design and materials.

Hmm... great, thanks.

I bet this will cost a fortune, lol!

Danh Vu

how is it going?
Perhaps this will be easier on another marker.
Also, It has come to my attention that I want the mag to be right in front of the trigger just like the Thompson. The a-5, where the ball loads to is too far up front.
Any other marker good for this? I am willing to use any reliable marker.
If it can be done, I'll pay for the marker needed and the price of the customization.

Mortis, how are the plans going?
