MK23 Socom to HPA Drum magazine Adapter

MK23 HPA Adapter to Drum magazine
Adapter inspired from my MP7 to drum magazine HPA Tap, converting traditional MK23 socom magazines to Drum Magz,

This build is for those people like me, who are 3D Printing and airsoft enthusiasts.

Needs:
- 1/8 Air Hose
- Drum Magazine screws
- Drum magazine unit as shown in the photo
- HPA - 1/8npt female thread
- 1/8" PT Male Thread 6mm Push In Joint Connector
- Teflon Tape
- Silicone Paste/Gasket
- Epoxy seal

Assembly is pretty straight forward, there are a lot of YouTube videos you can search to remove the base of your socom magazine.

Process:

Print the files and prepare them for assembly, you can try fitting them together so you have the idea of the details.

The BB Tube single stack is design to be longer so you can print as many as you can and cut them later to your desired length (Recommend filament for tubing: ABS or PLA+Carbon Filament)

Your air hose will directly insert to the center hole of the upper adapter, secure it with epoxy and let it cure.

Insert the BB Tube single stack to the magazine, and cut the excess.

Put Silicone all around the base of the print before inserting the magazine, you can re-use the pins that you remove during magazine assembly but you need to put holes on the print (For me to save time I just secure everything with epoxy to make it secure and tight. Just let is cure)

Cure! Cure! Cure! - "Good things happens to those who Wait"

Assemble the HPA connectors and insert the male adapter to the air hose

Recommended for post processing so it can look like standard manufactured adapter. ^_^

The rest... Enjoy using your Socom, HPA Tapped with Drum Magazine maximum BB firepower ^_^
