MistakenMexican Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 A little while ago, I got an AFG-9. The AEGIS TM spec one. I thought “wouldn’t it be cool if you could fit a tracer in that internal dead space”… Long story short (and several dead tracers later), I have a working prototype. it’s a removable unit that fits in the space between the charging handle and the front of the kit. It’s been challenge as there’s not a lot of space between the front of the kit and front of the charging handle slide racker. I plan to sell these as a complete drop in kit for those who have an AEGIS AFG-9 in the U.K. However I still have refine the design and see which tracers can be modified to fit internally. I’m also working on a thread adapter that doubles as an inner barrel stabiliser, as you can run a 160mm TBB right up to the end of the FMG-9 kit. I’ll probably end up sharing the CAD files online for those who don’t live in the U.K. or don’t want to pay for a complete kit.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted March 19, 2023 Supporters Share Posted March 19, 2023 Not personally a tracer fan, but I do have the extended inner+outer barrel combo that was sold briefly a long while back inside my PTS FPG and it'd make sense to do that in the Aegis too for sure. Thanks for the reminder. MistakenMexican 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistakenMexican Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 I’m working on a barrel extension/ stabiliser kit for the FMG9. It should have printed today, so I’ll be collecting it tomorrow 😊 On 19/03/2023 at 14:34, TheFull9 said: Not personally a tracer fan, but I do have the extended inner+outer barrel combo that was sold briefly a long while back inside my PTS FPG and it'd make sense to do that in the Aegis too for sure.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted March 22, 2023 Supporters Share Posted March 22, 2023 Nice idea, but is that that an Acetech Lighter-S in there? If so, I'd note that I've had two fail on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'd note that I've had two fail on me. So right now it’s a Lighter S, but for a similar reason, it failed on me, so it’s not costing my anything to cut and grind it down to fit. I’m able to run power through it to check I’m not shorting or disconnecting anything… but functionally it’s U/S. Acetech have also informed me that the Lighter S and the Lighter C are discontinued so my next Acetech option would be the lighter R. I’ve been recommended to look at the Xcortech or G&G equivalent. If either of them fit and are reliable, I’ll probably go with that. Got a second round of prototypes out of the printer. Will test them tonight. Ones a barrel extension stabiliser and thread adapter. The other is the tracer adapter with a protective front face. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistakenMexican Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 So it fits exactly as I’d hoped! I just need to modify the design slightly to allow for a longer inner barrel to be fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistakenMexican Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 Small update. I’ve not had much time on this due to cash flow bottle necks and family stuff. I’ve got a final chassis that holds the tracer in place. I just need to buy various tracers and see which fits best. I’m also very close to getting the long barrel adapter sorted.

atacam Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 @MistakenMexican Any update on the tracer side of things? Got one for my son for his birthday and he'd love to put a tracer in his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shypizza Posted Thursday at 08:57 Share Posted Thursday at 08:57 Hi, a little late to this thread but by any chance did you ever release the files for the 3D tracer parts? I just got an fmg9 and stumbled across this post and I’m really interested, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
