Right hand mag release. The MagLev

So this project has been on my mind for over a year. I had a 3D prototype printed last Nov, but it arrived after I sent my Kriss back to VA Beach. When I put it on, the polymer lever was too flimsy to pull the mag catch.

I went out to talk to a metal fabricator to get these made. We discussed the rigidity of different types of metal and he made a rough lever for me to test the rigidity. So now I have a functioning prototype.

Pretty slick! Can you get a patent for that? ;)

That was my plan.

pretty decent, can you take apart upper/lower with it installed? close up pics?

nice work

Yep, and the stock can still fold and lock onto the catch in the folded position.

I will definitely be interested in one if you manage to produce a few more.

I could review and test it as well if you need more testing. I can post vids and pics as well.

No need to test or review it. My shit works great haha. just waiting on the quote.

Haha, love the confidence.

All dependent on price for me now.

Great, another case of someone else builds it and an American fixes it.

Where do I send the check?

Sadly the quote i got is astronomical and puts the cost of these WAYYY to high. So I need to find another quote.

How did you attach it to the side of the kriss?

It is rather simple.

Any word?

Since this thread seemed to die somewhat, I ended up coming across a product being advertised by Ace1Arms, a Chinese airsoft company and talk about it in a different thread. If Solscud007 ever comes back around, I wanted to ask him if this was his product or did someone see what he did here and rip his idea off?

Funny you should mention that. I saw it too. I noticed a lot of similarities in their description that mirror my ideas. Like the use of KWA mags and how it helps you with mag changes.

Anyway I spoke with them, they admitted to seeng my video. They are sending me a sample to test and evaluate on my real vector. I plan on ordering them for us if it is viable for the real Vector.

Can you also ask them what their price will be, and when / where they will be available? And it appears to me the mags KWA makes are dimensionally identical to the real deal, so I don't think there is even a question at this point as to the parts' viability? Sorry if I'm confused about. Here's their magazine:



And if they took your idea tell them to give you a case of the things for free!!! That seems unethical to me, but Chinese companies rarely resemble anything remotely ethical.

I think we should try to organize a group buy right here right now. Throw my name down at the top of that list, because I want one regardless.

I was contacted today by Ace1Arms and sent this link

I will wait until tomorrow to order since I want to call and verify that it is in-stock. I'll follow up after and let you all know how it goes.

Well mine is in the mail. If you wait, I will review it and let you know. The only concern is the aluminum they used. I dont foresee any issues. Especially since I swapped real polymer housings on my Airsoft Vector and it functions just fine.

Also I will be engraving them with KRISSTALK on them. Or Maglev haha. Oh and depending on the shipping, It will probably be cheaper than $41.

Solscud, you're the man!  I am just getting off work so I wasn't able to get anything done today.  My bad.  

I'll await your review and since I've seen the AWESOME work you do with your laser engraver over on your Facebook page, I think that sounds perfect.  I like the idea of KRISSTALK alot, feels exclusive.  Also, I was just wondering what you meant about the aluminum?  Is the stuff they are using not as good?

I hope it's not just you, the real genius behind this whole thing, and me who are interested in this.  Either way I am still interested in whatever you come up with.

Also, I was wondering if I could ask you about that M1 Garand clip you laser engraved with the 30 ghost clip thing.  Any chance I could get a quote on doing a couple Pmags done up like that?  I literally lol'd when I saw that.

I started a new thread about the Ace 1 Arms mag release.
