Magpul FMG9 Glock conversion?

[The Acer]

we decided to engineer this on msn lol, we post updates of our final designs

[Bob the Angry Potato]

Indeed. If I have time tomorrow, I'll whip out the 26C and do some measurements.

man oh man if you suceed...i may need to contract you to make me one!

Well it seems I'm going to have to make a much stronger mold if we get more people than we anticipated. But first let us figure everything out, design, 3D model, a few card prototypes and then we'll be taking requests I guess.

use solidworks to design. best 3d design program out there.

With that big open area you could try and sqeeze in an extra mag perhaps?

That's what we were thinking of doing, having a little storage space in the stock for one or two extra mags, so that the whole kit would be self-sufficient, not requiring a vest or anything to hold extra mags.

That is so bad ass, potato i wanna see this shit at the next atlantic game...

If you see in the video of the RS prototype it seems that gravity is what "pulls" the stock out and locks it perhaps just a bit of weight in the end of the stock.
also as to not take apart or cut apart the gun maybe a gun with a railed frame would work well it could just slide in ad attach like a pistol scope mount the one for my glock slides on the lower rail has 2 set screws that push up on the lower part of the frame where the notch for the rail is and then the trigger pin thing is replaced by a nut and bolt like this mount the second set of images

Instead of a sight system... May aswell throw a small laser in there... Hell, this thing looks futuristic enough as it is.

Trevor- sure as fuck, I'm DEFINITELY pimping this at Atlantic games. I may just fold it up in-field for shits and giggles, just to snap it open as soon as I see someone.

A laser's actually a good idea, I was thinking about one- perhaps mounded on top, or inside? If inside at the front, it'd have to stick out a fair bit, unfortunately, so mabye attached to the pistol grip.

G26es don't have front rails, so that's a no-go.

There's a lot of extra room in the back, so one could probably put a spare (SHORT) mag or two in there- however, once it's open, nothing's stopping you from ripping out a G18C 50-rounder, slapping it in and going wild.

Also, Hectic, if you look at Milspecmonkey's video, it seems it actually does have a torsion spring in the back.

Bob, id love to see your pistol collection, hope to see you at the CQB thing on the 23rd

Sorry man, probably can't make that one- no drives out from Halifax that're going that far, AFAIK. If it does though, I'll post up- and possibly strap all the pistols to me and go balls-deep.

Sure there'll be more opportunities if this one's missed, though

One thing I've found so far-

These are the mags that'll have to be used when the gun's folded-

Piddly little 15-rounders (mabye even with the small baseplate, but I doubt it), nothing bigger can be put into it until the gun is unfolded and ready to rock.



When it's open, once again, nothing's stopping you from putting a bigger mag in it.

[Bob the Angry Potato]

Hahahhaha, double post but a bit of an update-



I've got some basic measurements out.

Chassis should be about 9 inches long folded, 1 1/4 inches side-to-side, 5 inches tall.

I'll start doing a better mockup when I get some plasticcard, and then design the pieces and internal mechanisms. After that, it's time to get something three-dimensional done- and then a prototype?

[Arthraxis]

Yeah, I'll need detailed drawings of all angles of every part that you would want me to make.
