I want to mill an aluminum body that accepts twistlock barrels and still has a vertical removable feedneck.
What can I say... I love me some twistlock barrels :D

I have a couple old SS kicking around... I'll search for and post up later.
(I got a nice centerfeed barrel (JJ 2 peice? something like that..) too that has been sitting in my closest for 4 years... /plug)

ok..

6 1/4 long.
about 1 1/4 circumference

Feed hole from 2 1/4 to 3 from front .
twist lock thingy from like 2 to 2 1/2 (you'd best line it up on your rail and stuff)
anything else you need on it?

You should call the factory? But. . .

With some calipers I inherited from my grandpa:

OD= 1.123"
ID= 1.002"
Length= 6.258"

Start of on/off hole (from back of body)= 0.122"
Diameter of on/off hole= 0.231"
Start of Sear Slot (from back)= 1.477"
Length of Sear Slot= 1.429"
Start of Front Frame Screw Hole (from back of body to tip of rear threads)= 3.902"
Start of Twistlock Hole (from back of body)= 4.33"
Diameter of Twistlock Hole= 0.268"

You should know that there is a ~2mm gap between the mainbody and the valve on my mag. Might be the body's fault, might not. And I didn't measure the breach because I can't do it accurately due to the powerfeed being in the way.

My findings.

OD= 1.120"
ID= 1.050"
Length= 6.258"

Start of on/off hole (from back of body)= 0.122"
Diameter of on/off hole= 0.225"
Start of Sear Slot (from back)= 1.475"
Length of Sear Slot= 1.425"
Start of Front Frame Screw Hole (from back of body to tip of rear threads)= 3.902"
Start of Twistlock Hole (from back of body)= 4.33"
Diameter of Twistlock Hole= 0.266"


Mostly the same. What is AGD's tol?

Would someone mind mailing me a spare body, I can have it measured and back ASAP. I'll cover your fees as well. Not that I don't trust ya'll... I just like having firsthand info. :)

Wouldn't it be easier to modify an existing ULE body or get hold of a sluggo? ie ream out the cocker threads and add an extra hole for the twistlock etc.

Or are the dimensions smaller than the stainless bodies? I forget, been years since I've looked at a classic body.

This is not for a mag. I simply stated I want to mill an aluminum body to accept a vertical twistlock barrel. Hence, I need accurate female twistlock dimensions. ;)

I can get one off to you.
Hit me up with a PM or Email.

And I'm curious how a mag barrel would fit in something else? Maybe it's simple but I wouldn't think it could.

I think one problem is that the way the barrel interacts with the body and ball lock in the rail will be difficult to replicate in Al. You couldn’t make it as thin as the SS body I wouldn’t think.

Metal around the twistlock pin isn't really necessary though.

TWISTLOCK & BREACH DROP FTW!!!

pneumagger, idk exactly what you're doing, but I sense impending awesomeness. . .

Hey:

Joe-if you need one let me know. I have to mail you some stuff anyways and you can keep the body for awhile. I also, have some twistlock assemblies if you need some of those too.
