Apparently Rainman is doing a preorder for kits over on MCB and I missed the boat. Trying to get him to raise his run so if anyone is interested in a lot PLEASE go over and post up in the thread.

'SMACK!'

I missed this too... I caught the part where he was considering it a few days ago but nothing beyond that.
It's my understanding you haven't missed out on getting a mag pump kit, just the limited quantity of presale slots which are priced at a reduced rate. I believe he is doing a run of them and they will be for sale. He did the presale after many people were begging to get the project off the ground by footing some of the bill upfront with material cost. Therefore, he offered a presale to help offset the upfront cost of doing the project.
I asked if he would up the run too. Hope he makes more
He upped the quantity already...don't see why he wouldn't do it again? I may have someone else who may be interested in another pump kit also...
Get on this ASAP. He doesn't make these very often. Last run was April 2010. They are truly the best mag kits out there.
I posted up but no word if he is keeping spots open or making more slots available.
Wasn't he saying that he would reprogram the kit so that it would be easier to do smaller batches of them?
I'm in for X1. I've already posted on the original tread on MCB if he would be willing to expand the preorder:)
Looks like he added 10 more slots!!! Got mine..
how do I pay ? where do I send the money?
got it thanks.
Just in case people want to follow the build:

Looks like Rainman is going to be making pump kits for Emag length rails after the run of AM/MM length pump kits :clap: At least that is my understanding. Not sure if this had been determined previously but I figured it might be of interest to some.
Well..... got my pump kit in today from Rainman and having some major bindage. I think there is an issue with the pump plate that fits up next to the rail. Think there was a mistake in the radiusing (term?). Rail does not sit exactly flush with plate. Only a MM or so, but seems to cause it to bind.
Well, that is not what I wanted to hear. Hope things get worked out.
Is it possible that it is your rail.
ill check mine when they come in.
Fits same way on another rail.
Edit: Just to clarify, I am simply posting up to make sure people check theirs when they get them. Claudio has always been a stand up guy as far as I know and sure he will make things right. Just wanted to post up so people didn't get them, put them in a drawer and not find out until a year or more later.
Damn didn't know he was already shipping out...I'll find out if I have any issues.
Here is a pic showing what I am talking about:

Any news from RM about this?

Yep, the AM has a goofy angle in that spot (51*) can't buy a standard tool to machine it. I seen several different approaches to work around it...
I don't have anything to go by as this is the only RM kit I have. I know that the stock AM kit that I have fits totally flush with the bottom of the rail and so does the XM15 kit. I did get a PM back from him saying that he thought the rail channel might be too narrow since his pump rod/arm whatever is thicker than the AGD one. I personally don't think that's it. When I pull the assembly apart and slide the pump arm in and out, it slides freely. As soon as I put everything together and snug up the front mounting screw it binds.
OPBN, I'll pm you the info I believe he needs for the fix and you can pass it on to him.
Being told that "this is how my kits have mounted from day 1". Not exactly the response I was hoping for.
Same issue here :(

Unfortunately I have no way of knowing at this point, as none of my classic rails are pump milled. I was planning on doing that myself as soon as I get around to wiring up my mill... which probably wont be for a few more weeks. I'm a picky bastard, and having that gap there is going to bug me... I'll probably end up fixing it myself I guess.
Mine works with problems. It's actually pretty good and doesn't bind or hang up with a pump stroke. I put a little graphite in the milled channel and everything seems to stroke fairly smooth. When I assembled I took the pump handle off and loosed the screws in hopes that any malaligned parts would align with a few initial pump strokes.
I had Luke mill my rail awhile ago
AGD spec.
The correct rod 'material' is available if you know what and where to buy, 'perhaps' it's a mystery...
