Looks even cooler in the gun.

You must MUST continue the quest and make these for the rest of us... I have a Fudd uncle that would crap himself if I showed up with this.

PLEAAAASE!

oh dear god

Damn Gas Can, that is starting to look really good!

 

[TheWharGoul]

ITS ALIVE! ITS ALIVE!!!!!!

I have hope.

Damn Gas Can put them into production already. Contact Chris from CanAm I am sure he could make it worth your while.

Drool........

 

[zooch345]

how many does that one in the pic hold?

 

[Gas Can]

As it sits it only holds 9. I'm hoping I can tweak the follower to get it to hold 10.

Just finished stress relieving some stronger springs. Hoping to do some live fire tests soon but I now have some other stuff on the go.

Only 10? Wouldn't it be more simple to just have a banana style or double stack mag?

Seems complicated for 10 rounds!

Nonetheless, keep up the damn good work!

Dammit Gas Can - I WANT!!!!!

Please hurry up and start making them!!!

Those would be great for my local 3-Gun matches!!!

10 rounds in a straight magazine would be massive, I would think. I guess you could use it like a tripod. Would a double stack work with shotgun shells? Maybe they already have all this in the US, I don't know.

The 10 rd would be huge, but may still be pretty cool.

I don't think I have ever seen a double stack shotgun mag. Could be something to consider. If someone was good at sheet metal fabrication they could give it a go.

A single stack mag would be a little long to me.

Good job, post some video when you shoot it

 

[MegaMonkeyChunk]

10 rounds is good, but 32 is better

 

[Gas Can]

I figure any more than twelve would be akward to pump with a traditional fore grip. Your arm would hit the side of the mag.

Bump.

Where we at? Drum goodness...

 

[Innercity]

Double bump for info

 

[the_klenzer]

Everytime I see this bumped my hopes shoot up... then are dashed again.

I finally got out to the range last weekend for some live fire testing.

Despite being mostly made of plastic it held up against birdshot and Win Lite slugs.

Cycling was pretty rough, and more work needs to be done. However there were some brief moments of glory, usually about half way through the mag.

Gonna play with the spring tension, and tower angle to see if I can smooth it out.

The one thing I was worried about was the rim from the lower rounds in the tower skiping infront of the upper rounds under recoil. During bench testing this would cause the next round to go into the chamber to "nose down" jamming against the front of the mag. Thankfully this didn't happen.

Right now there seems to be too much "Nose up" angle with rounds jamming with the front of the shell just inside the chamber and the base down low on the bolt.
