    Ummm, why would you need to mill a slug rail to a classic. Why can't you use a stock rail?

    I have a classic rail for cheap, that will save you money on milling.
    but if you are looking to get a classic style rail that is RTP length then I can see where you are coming from.

    Isnt Luke doing a run of this exact thing? It is slightly different I think in that he isn't milling the under cut or whatever since no one uses those anymore. Otherwise I would imagine you are SOL since the cost of a one off would be stupid expensive. I'm sure if you throw enough money at it, someone would take it up. Which is usually the problem. We all want custom on-off crap but when we realize it will be lots of $$$$$ we all make do.

    Weren't classic rails extruded? Maybe there's a length of extrusion out there that can just be milled.

    I think the point is, he already has a slug rail and simply wants someone to mill it to the exact profile of a stock rail, just longer. Maybe contact XMagTerror and see if he can try to do it. My guess is, someone would have to do some fairly extensive cad or what and its not worth it for a one off.

    I have a feeling he is other wise busy.

    but worth a shot

    That, and you'd either have a "lump" or need to shorten the sear axle. That's why I was thinking he should look into an old piece of extrusion, if one can be found. Cheaper too (probably).

    goodluck,
    extrustions are long gone.
    i know of one person who has some lengths of extrusions,
    but have yet to hear from him,
    he is pretty busy, and hardly ever back in the US

    still can print it, even can cad it to whatever you would like.

    I can do the CAD in just a few minutes because I have a cad of the stock rail. However you don't even need a cad file to program it. The setup time and fixtures to do these odd-ball angles of the side profiles are not worth the effort to do one rail.

    It all boils down to the time that's already invested in designing the AM rail the first time which was hours and hours work. Once the profile geometry and the working geometry (That's a term I coined to explain the areas of a part that have to do with the function of part, i.e. sear, bolt holes, etc) are done it's easy to manipulate changes. With my current files I could design a working factory AM rail 10, 12, 14 inches long in a matter of minutes. Adding the extras like ULE milling custom sides etc would take extra time, but a basic rail in any length would be easy.

    Where did it come from? From a distance it looks like one of mine, did you by chance get it from knownothingmags?
