Two 10-32 screw mount>

Both would come with Lukes Customs milled in the side along with some kind of "side milling".
Both are gas-through.

I like the look of these. I was actually thinking about something like this for my minimag.

[AutoFiend]

I'd buy a couple

[OPBN]

You know I'm in for two. My one question is how deep is the groove on the top? It looks rather shallow.

It's about 0.100"
Depth really shouldn't be an issue, it's only there to keep the fg from spinning. If it's tight it wont go anywhere. ;)

EDIT: The fillet on the side did steal some of the depth of the dove tail cut; I made the adjustment to deepen the mount.

Ok, i realize its only there to keep it from spinning, but aesthetics are important as well. Adjustments look better.

[AutoFiend]

Have you decided what kind of side milling might go on these?

[Smokee_2_7]

Any idea how this would look with a dallara body? I thought about using one for a project gun sitting on the workbench.

That was my intended use.

Do you want me to decide? If that is the case I choose to do these>>>

[robander3]

I like them, I may be interested in one pending the price, one of the middle ones most likely. for the RTP
-Rob

[OPBN]

Middle two are what I am after. An alternate design would be something similiar to the CNC Emag battery cases. Something to flow with the Dallara body would be awesome.

Price would be the same as the others (MM). ;)

[luke]

Hit me with a .XFA or .sldprt file of the body and rail and I'll take a look. :) :D :ninja:

If I had a clue what either of those are, I would. :rofl:

[splat15k]

I would be shocked if Colin ever released those files to the public.

I would also like to express my interest in having a Dallara-style gas-thru.

[luke]

Its a 3D file like what is in post #1 in this thread. ;)

That comment was made in jest, just a polite way of saying it aint gonna happen especially in a run of 10 pieces. ;)

I'm willing to do a run of these in small numbers because the design and programining is done. :)

It’s a mute point but, if I had files I could pull geometry off the other parts that would make the design a piece of cake, but I know better to even make a request like that. I know what goes into it and to ask someone to give that work away is more than just a little tacky.

[tolar250]

id be interested in a RTP if i could get a lpr port tapped on the front

[knownothingmags]

on the note of CNC battery packs,

luke will you ever get a milling option on the battery pack that is identical or as close to the cnc design battery packs.

KNM.

[luke]

That would not be a problem...

[DeuceSV]

I'm expressing my interest: Want one for my Micro with the milling design A. Should match the grooves in the body pretty well.

:cheers:

These are for AM/MM and RTPro rails. Luke did a run for Micros awhile back.

[Fatalis]

Will take a 2-hole C cut in dust black if poss. Pending price of course. ;)

I'm thinking the plain one "B" would look pretty good on the Dallara.

PM sent

[VooDoo_Coatings]

My order looks good!

[tolar250]

my order looks correct

[maverick13]

That's perfect for me

[OPBN]

Looks correct.

[luke]

Machining is about ½ done on these. I’m gonna hang out with the family on Sunday, will start making chips again on Monday...

Great news!

[audioSLAVE]

Looks right, good to hear! :shooting:

[maverick13]

that smells good !

[luke]

Made a little more headway today, we're just about there. I just need to machine the mounts, any side milling that was ordered and the curved front. I hope to knock all that out tomorrow. (Tuesday 1/24) :cheers:

[luke]

Just about done.
Need to machine the top mounts, any side milling and any special requests.
I hope to finish up tomorrow. 1-26-12
:cheers:

[OPBN]

:dance:

[luke]

OK, the "special" request machining is done.
All side milling is done.
The RTP style mount foregrips are done! (not the powder coating).

All that is left is the Automag mount machining.

:cheers:

[luke]

Machining on the Foregrips are done! :cheers:

[knownothingmags]

here's mine,
so so nice,
great work,

its getting setup for anno

[maverick13]

Now the anodizing !

And we'll get them !!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[luke]

All orders are processed, packaged and ready to ship Monday morning. (Some were shipped Friday.)
Thank you gentlemen for the work.
:cheers:

[OPBN]

Got mine in yesterday, they look great. Shame about the powdercoat going wonky, but it was just going to be a temporary fix for me anywyas until I could get them anoed, so not a huge deal.

Thanks Matt.

[djinnform]

i'll take one

[tolar250]

got mine earlier this week.

now if i could just get the eyes to work

[luke]

i'll take one

I did a few extra, AM and RTP styles. In B and C desigs only. (Plain and 3 line side milling)

Shoot me a PM with what you want.

[river031403]

OFF TOPIC there is more interest in the "WEDGE DROPS" we spoke about a month ago check out the forum! :D

[luke]

I know, I have not forgot. I just have stuff ahead of it, plus I need to still design it. ;)

[VooDoo_Coatings]

All of mine arrived early this week and I am very happy with them. Here is a picture of the first project I used one on. I just finished this one up yesterday in our bone collector pattern.

Very nice. Hydrographic?

Wow that turned out nice, you didnt waste any time either. :cheers:
How does the graffic look over my logo, or did you work around it?
Also, how close are we on the milling for the pump?

[VooDoo_Coatings]

No, I did it with our Cerakote finish.

Thanks, This was not the original plan but I was doing a batch of Saiga rifles in that pattern and I thought it might look good so I ran it with that batch. Your logo looks just fine the Cerakote is so thin that it does not fill in the engraving. As for the milling for the pump we were spot on! Thanks for working with me on the pump modification. Turned out great!

[OPBN]

No, I did it with our Cerakote finish.
? I didnt realize Cerakote could be done with a design pattern?

[VooDoo_Coatings]

? I didnt realize Cerakote could be done with a design pattern?

Yes we can do almost any pattern or design with Cerakote, it just requires a modified cure schedule to allow the layers to bond together properly.

[splat15k]

Does anybody have a pic of the B grip on a dallara?

[OPBN]

I can pitch a couple up later.

Awesome, thank you! :cheers:

[Hobbez]

Sorry for the piss-poor quality of these pictures, all I have for a camera right now is my Iphone. Just got mine from Luke today and put it on the Pheonix that I'm building. I think it looks great with this body. Getting it and the barrel anno'd gloss to match soon.

[splat15k]

^nice, that's the exact setup I have (minus the new grip of course)

Do you plan to use the gas-thru feature or just run macro straight to the valve? The height difference between the foregrip and the M90 makes for an awkward fittings situation.

[maverick13]

I think it will be perfect with my triton !

I will be using a Bob Long Gear drive that is sleeper modded. I'll have to check how I'll go to the foregrip, but will use it at a gas thru.

Probably similiar to this:

Oh, snap! I didn't even notice those were skulls until I saw your new website! :cool:
