it looks really plain and boxy. Now if plain and boxy is what you're shooting for then great. But most mags are smooth and organic. Even if you added some ptp type milling grooved into the sides that would add depth but right now it looks borderline like a dremel hackjob (albeit, if done by a dremel would be decent)

well there is some design to it, you just cant see it in that pic, around the screw holes theyre are like slots milled into it, and it adds a little bit of depth and design to it

it would look better if the front was symmetrical

and by that i guess you mean if the rail lined up with the body and the batt pack

i guess its sorta a personal preference thing some people like the boxier look some dont, to each his own i guess, thats why i wanted some input, i like the boxier look but thats just me

if the front was all flush it would be sweet.

yea but i made this for my gun and it was pretty flush with the regular ss body it looked sweet on my mag, but i didnt have a sear for it, so i sold it to that guy who did, now if i had custom made it for him then i could have made it that way, but seeing as it was for me

I'm a big fan personally of definitive lines and (no offense) better pics. But depending on the setup and anno these could be looking really cool and i just dont know it

I think it looks fantastic. I like the smoooooth clean look. With a nice anno job it would look super.

not bad for a first (sort of) job. Though i am a big fan of a slick and clean look, i dont think it gets as clean looking as a Shadow rail.

Put a tattoo of a naked chick on there and your rail approval rate should raise to about 90%.

There was a rail like that on Ebay a while back, I would've loved to pick it up if I'd had an emag.
It was gray and the girl was lasered on I think.

mill it all the way though to the other side. u would lost the use of the screw holes but i have always wanted to see one with windows milled in it.

I don't like the notch on the back. If after curving back down, it didn't reach the same bottom level as the rest of the rail the snatch grip would look better. And maybe some sort of angle in the back?
