Fx Impact mag parts for 3D printed mags

The two square spots look like they are in the same spots just opposite sides for the lock

Correct.

You guys doing a great job on those magazines!! Awesome

I'll throw my mags into the mix as well. red is .25 cal. green is .22 cal. Almost forgot ambi cheek pads for frame only and for Saber tactical riser.

 

[dannya1a]

just did a .30 cal mag as well and made some internal wheel and retention changes. need to get more magnets and step up the size. I was shocked as I was having issues, so I got and Orion iguana hunter mag and his design and mine match very closely in the shells. my 30 cal speed loaders fit and work on his mags. kind of freaky.

You could measure the size of the one printed.. measure the original magazine.. and do the math to see how big of a different in percentage it is.

I drew mine up from scratch.. measuring the original mag and replicating it in Fusion 360

I will try this
Thanks

Well emgfred never got back to me so I didn’t get to play with his design.


I ended up sitting down with calipers and the software and making my own “fx” mags. Looks and function like the factory mags.


The spring part is still by far the hardest part to get right. This mag works perfectly though. I need to find a rod/drill bit in between the sizes I have to get the spring wire wrap perfect.


Pretty happy with the result. Now i have piles of mags. Might have to get rid of a few to help pay for some mags of the other calibers so I can make some of them as well.

Do you by chance have a file for a .30 cal?

Question for the folkis printing magazines -

Some guns (RTI for one) has its breach sealing o-ring on the pellet probe.

That said, are you doing something to make sure that as the probe goes through the magazine to push the pellet into the barrel...is the surfaces of the magazine where the pellets live is...smooth ?
If it's a rough surface like some magazines that I've seen (have !), this will scuff the o-ring...every time that the probe goes in and out of the magazine, hastening the replacement of the o-ring to a shorter life span, than if the magazine surfaces were smooth .

I have two different brands of printed magazines for my RTI Prophets, that rest in the bags that they came in...on the shelf, unused and unloved..!

Well I took up resin printing for some of my stuff and it makes glass smooth prints

Hi Nsboost

I print a lot of different magazines for different guns.

It is very simple to make a torque spring. Use an drilling machine and a piece of pipe or rod. I use ø12mm pipe for Impacts mags.

The finished spring diameter will be more than twice the diameter of the pipe.

Then choose 0,4 - 0.5 mm spring wire. I think I normally use 0.5 on the large impact magz.

(I normally purchase a spool of 60 m wire thread.)

For Impact magz. When you stand with the drilling machine in your right hand and the pipe pointing left.

Attache the wire close to the drilling machine. Wear a workhandshue and make some resistance by running the thread in and out between the fingers. Attach the spring wire closest to the drilling machine. Run the drilling machine backwards and wind the spring with guiding the thread by your left hand. Wind like 200mm spring lenght.

Cut the spring into the right lengths, and bend the ends into needed shape with a plier at last.

Very easy.

A hint many rotations on a spring gives a more equal force when turning the rotor. The OEM manufacture seems to makes springs far to tight, and with not enough winds.

Not a big problem on large calibers due to more ridgid pellets. But on .177 it can deform the skirt slightly and often you see poi changes from first shot to the last.

I normally use 0.1 mm thinner wire thread than the OEM and wind twice the amount of windings. This gives a very even force on the rotor compared from first to last pellet.

The magz. on the images is my own design and I have only made Impact magz in .177 and in .22 so no experience on the .25 yet.

The spring manufacturing part is very easy.

NB - I don't manufacture and sell magz. I do it mostly for fun and to find the most ideal magz design - For easy use and most importing for accuracy. I see no difference in accuracy when using my own magz. vs using single loading. The flip cover design for the Avenger has got two versions,- the pellet version and the slug version with the rotor designed like the impact. If some wants to go down the diy lane. I will be happy to send a copy of the 3d files.

Feel free to send me a message.

Many kg. of print filament has gone straight to the bin before the designs are finished.

Good luck

Friend, I have a big problem. I bought an FX Impact M4 3 weeks ago, but when I load the magazine with pellets (I tried several, JSB, H&N...), they get stuck when loading (the probe engages). It's different when I use pellets, they all load perfectly. Do you have a model (standard type) of magazine that was used in the M3, so that I can use the pellets, without needing the single shot?

Hi Flavio,
I am sorry to hear that - I am sure its related to the Pellet hole size, Chamfer at the exit hole. I use the .177 Pellet Care Magazine myself too without problems. But if you want full accuracy then you need the Manuloader magazine. It is like a single loader - but here you use a full capacity magazine and click the rotor forward manually between each shot. What caliber are you shooting?

Impact ManuLoader .177

The same magazine with covers open.

Or alternative the Slugs style - but they are more difficult to make.

Same with Cover open

Same with Cover I'm using .22 lead, I tried some singleshot magazines printed on my x1c, but without success. Where can I get these manuloader magazines, because they are no longer available at 3d cult?
