CF Sleeved ULE Body Mods

[warpedmephisto]

Alright, I've teased you all long enough. I forgot to get a before weight measurement, but overall, the mod drops about 60 grams off of the mainbody, if I'm recalling correctly. The next one I do (yes, implying that I am going to be doing these) I will get before and after weight measurements for sure . Right now I can't come up with a way to make a sleeve for the front half of the body, but its something I want to work on.

Enough with the talky, on with the picky.







Happy Friday, ya'll!

I glanced through the older posts on this, but didnt see the answer. Is the CF sleeve permanently attached or is it pressure fit? I have a body that I am interested in having this done on, but it needs to be reanodized and need to know if it is better to send in before or after anodizing.

It is a "pressure" fit and more slips on than anything. I have one of these and once the valve is aired up it will not move.

Cool, thanks. I am not really concerned about the body coming off as much as still having the ability to send the body out for anodizing afterwards.

I would get it cut and mod'd BEFORE anno just because the anno hardens and protects the AL a bit more than leaving it raw.... and since it's not an issue then I'd go that route.

Just my .02

im sending mine out for ano with no problems.. i tell you what though, it makes it a lot easier to take out the ring inside the body....

[warpedmephisto]

Yes, it does make removing the ring inside the body a LOT easier.

Looks like this has already been beaten into the ground, but just to confirm - yes, I would have the CF mod done before anodizing. Anodizing shouldn't affect the fit between the CF sleeve and the breech. Just make sure you line up the sear slot in line with frame screw hole on the underside of the breech when you put the CF sleeve back on.

Oh, and just another note - when removing the CF sleeve, pull straight back on the sleeve. It also might help to give it a little twist as you go. If you tilt the sleeve at all while you're pulling back on it, there's a chance you might crack the sleeve.

What happened to this design?



Are you still thinking about this, or is it shelved?

So is this body still on the back burner?

[warpedmephisto]

Unfortunately, yes. Unless there's a fairly large interest, and I could get some pre-orders, I can't justify the time and expense to do a run of them.

[TK-421]

How many pre-orders do you need? I'm interested in having this mod done.

[TOTShadowCompany]

WM still doing this mod???

[Ruler_Mark]

wonder why your asking
