Sacarathe Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Did anything ever come of this? I'd could really use a scorpion evo adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Druid799 Posted June 5, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 5, 2018 When I saw the price of platform specific ones I thought “sod that !” So I made my own adapter , old knackered STANAG cut to size , all the internals removed , then a short length of loading tube epoxied in place , a chunk of quite dense foam glued in the space to brace my mags against it and job done ! Once you get the hang of it you can load pretty much any mag , I use it onTM recoil AK/FAL/MP5/Sterling/M14 and even shotgun shells with a bit of ‘jiggling’ ! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted June 5, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 5, 2018 probably the simplest method would be to look at getting something 3d printed. at least thats what i plan to do when i move away from exclusively stanag stuff.

Problem with 3D printing is there fecking expensive ! Basically shapeways are the only ones that do multiple platforms and last time I looked the cheapest was something like £25 and the most expensive was close to £40 ! ! ! Hence I made my own ‘universal’ one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine of Facebook. It looks surprisingly like @Druid799 hand made one. Cost me a tenner and the only thing I'd like to have seen different is that the handle could fold into it. Works great with my AK and Evo mags. The bic pen tube he used is a touch of genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Druid799 Posted June 5, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 5, 2018 Like it , I have actually made a MK2 out of a plastic mag which has a handle cut out ! Yup bic tube is a good idea , I was lucky I had an old pistol loading tube so it’s got the ‘claws’ on the end so I don’t loose any bbs .👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to get a soldering iron on it to cut it out, but wasn't sure what the infill was like. I'd probably ruin it trying. 2 minutes ago, Druid799 said: Like it , I have actually made a MK2 out of a plastic mag which has a handle cut out !

Did the same with my springer, had some awful lump of lead in the stock held in place by plastic, that fucker got drilled out quick. Same with my CYMA barrel being .5 inches too short for the front A site to clamp on the gas buffer stopper thingy mcwotsit (don't act like you don't know what I mean) so I promptly man-machined a new pin slot further up with a couple hand files. Took my time and got it spot on so the site is perfectly straight. Had I hesitated I would of fucked it up. Generally jumping in balls deep has hapy results, if not hilarious ones.

Somewhat amusingly I did not forget that thread when I posted - but I got chewed up for a "necro"a few days ago (albeit in totally different circumstances). I would have thought this products viability long term would be reliant on adaptors, but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
