I dont know how much Hills rail weighs.
Just a bad edit (fixed) :p

This rail is still very strong, no flex or bending...

Your pillar style milling is also warp friendly, am I wrong? Is this just a lighter version of that? This can't be pump milled can it? Can the pillar? Sorry for all the Q's :p I like this design, very smooth.

any chance of rail this milled down for the rt length?

Its looks better in person if that’s any consolation.

Close but not quite.

No not really, its just a diffrent design.

I doubt either design would work as is, but I could always tweak it.

Wow...I think I will call it "The Dog Bone"

Yes, that is somewhat. Looks great, just what I was thinking. Now to get it back, cut down the body and get it to ano.

Or the Bare Bones rail.

So, there are two styles of this milling? The first two pictures look different. Only the first picture (which is same as third???) is the non warp notch needed version correct? Is the second picture version non warp notch needed too?

lol, it's the same rail in all the pictures. The first picture was taken from a diffrent direction. Look for the valve lock milling at the back of the rail. ;)

You can still show us how it looks with a frame. That really is a bony rail. These am/mm rail services are so tempting.

So, Luke, is there no interest in an ultra-lite pump rail? As long as your CNCing a rail, it seems like a short step to leave the rod groove in there.

I never claimed it couldn't be done, all I need is for someone to place an order. ;)

Must be like those pictures you have to stare at to see the picture within a picture. I beleive you obviously, but that top shot just doesnt look like it has the 'jagged' edges to it on the ends like the side view pics.....well or I'm just retarded. Which is the most likely problem in this case. Time to shake the couch cushions again...

this is a similar milling from a previous rail which is already named "dog bone" :ninja:

Since its just skin and bones, how about the crack pipe rail.

i do like the rounded front end of lukes better as it flows better with most foregrips. Also the Z lock being left intact is not a bad idea :D

nice work as always luke

Just got it back from Luke's. Current set up with an aluminum frame and no fittings is @ 1.544lbs:

I'm sure some ounces could be shaved by cutting the body and using a CF frame.

So did you find the design to be close to what you wanted?

Well done!

nice looking setup, nice to know mine will likely beat the 1.5lb benchmark though :D

I am intending on getting everything anodized so I am going with the aluminum frame. The rear of the rail could easily be cut down some and keep the z pin slot if you were willing to go asymmetrical. Consider the weight I gave also included the barrel and insert. The only thing it's missing to be functional is an on/off and fittings.

Very nice. It is the same weight as mine but it looks way stronger.

I havent tried cranking it around or anything, but it seems pretty strong. I wouldn't go falling on the front grip or anything, but seems like it will hold up.

That Venom grip looks perfect on there.

luke

The rail is machined to the same exact specs as all my others; I don’t think there will be any failures. :)

What kind of changes?

OPBN
09-07-2011, 09:40 PM
What kind of changes?I would consider possibly offering an angle for the front of the rail to match a 15* foregrip. Maybe some sort of decorative milling on the sides. Possible snatch grip option. I am in no way unhappy, came out like I requested. I'm a tweaker.

luke
09-07-2011, 09:43 PM
Yea, I think I would hold one to this one (the design) but variations are totally doable.
