i was just wondering if anybody before me had made a gun that uses an amo clip. I am working on and am almost done with my version of a semi-auto rifle. It uses the zero valve and various other components that allow for about 10 shots per clip. I am making my clips out of pieces of sheet metal that i soddered together. Does anybody know of anywhere that you can get boxes that are about the right shape? This would save me a lot of time and work. I would be glad to share my full design but it mite be kind of hard because i have no way of using computer generated pictures to show what i have done. Thats all for now.

Sounds neat. What exactly is "the right shape" however?

By that he probably means one that can hold stefans one on top of another. I don't know of a better way of getting a clip like that besides making it like you are. Although I would personally make it out of wood since wood is easier to work with.

i guess he's talkin bout a easily bought box that can be substituted to form a clip, and i guess its hard to say because we dont know the barrel size nor the size of the pressurised shells, because this can vary largely.....

any specs??? try contacting a plastics moulderer-a-ma-bob..... they do that work cheap....

i would check cheep store like doller stores or like wallmart for box like figures, they might sell them there. ir just make it out of wood and pvc tubes...?

Excuse my memory; I can only remember Boltsniper's clip, considering it had direct application. But there have been some offshoots of just basic box clips I can remember... My friend even made a little cardboard one two years ago for his Unknown breech. But for anything spring-powered, and more than a box, I only remember Boltsniper's.

I'm making a little semi-automatic pistol prototype soon, and planned on making the clips out of folded sheet metal (bonded on one side, though probably not with solder), using a basic clock/coil spring to generate the upward motion to move 1/2" CPVC shells into a breech. It's also going to have a little door locking mechanism to ensure shells don't pop out the top unless pushed inwards. I'd draw it up, but I'll be making it in a bit.

Go for the cheap, 30GA sheet metal for ease. You can cannibalize it off a Duct end cover if you're desparate.

As for the coil spring? Cadmond recommended a Dollar Grabber toy, whatever that thing is; I'll be looking for that. Otherwise, you can probably find something at a hardware store. Boltsniper got them from an old Walmart display.

Same here. Zero, when you finish could you post some pics and put it on this sites homemades section?>>if it works!

[EleMenT]

thanks forthe ideas people. i had like no time at all this weekend so i didn't work on it at all, but i mite find some time this week and next weekend. zero, it looks like you were thinking of the same ideas as me. I am planning on using one piece folded over, but i am told that bending metal accurately is hard, but im not sure. i also can't wait for pics of the pistol

It always makes me laugh that these guys wait up to a year just to do this kind of crap. Do you guys think it's another paintball/airsoft troll, or do you think he's just retarded?
