*new Product* Aluminum Minimag Style Body

[Xmagterror]

Last week i started a thread to see what people would like to see made....the majority of you said you would like to see a aluminum minimag style body. I worked a stupid amount of hours this weekend on this prototype.

all thats left to do on this is cut the slots in the front...I will do that tomorrow or wed. Check back for updated pictures.


Body specs....

-Made from high strength 7075 aluminum
-Threaded for dual angel detents
-Uses autococker threaded barrels
-Angel feedneck threads

These will be sold in a pre-order with a 6-8 week lead time. watch the dealers section mid to late this week for details.


XT customs specializes in automag parts....With both in house cnc turning and machining centers there is no job we cant handle. Need a custom part made???? send me a PM


After milling minus front slots

I Sir, and your first buyer! Looks Fantastic! :cheers:

[rseb4agze]

Sweet, any discount for the person who made the suggestion first :D :bounce: :hail: :shooting: Is there any way they can come pre milled for pumpmag set up???

[OPBN]

Very nice.

[renie]

Nice job :) whats the price gonna be?

[Xmagterror]

Nice job :) whats the price gonna be?


Im not sure...gotta run the numbers
It will be much cheaper than my full 3D machined bodies!

[rukh013]

NEED one.

Are you thinking of a warp option maybe? :D

[VecTor]

Pump milled would be a great bonus.

:)

[RST]

Uh that looks nice :)

[Carnage reigns]

I need a couple of those. I'm thinking of building 2 myself. I want to hear the price first.

[BiNumber3]

are you going to be including the steel washer n c-clip?

also, wonder if it would be feasible to make some twistlock? and at that maybe one without the minimag slots milled in front:D (if that's doable I'd want to make it RT classic Styled in front)

and yea, it's asking a lot and don't worry if it's not doable or would be to much to do so:D

Yes they will come with the washer and c clip.... Autococker threads only

Pump milling may be an option....warp feed? Not sure

[Justus]

I know this idea had come up sometime within the last year (even remember seeing some 3D drawings), but this thread shows actual progress. Very nice!

[sjrtk]

Pump milling would be a huge plus. After all thats what i am going to use it on.

[rukh013]

Can you mill the bottom minimag slots less (just the bottom) so that this works with a emag\rt style rail?

[maverick13]

Very nice.
Could be interested

[RST]

.......RT classic Styled in front.......


Well, if this would be an option too I would like to get one of each :cool:

[audioSLAVE]

Looking forward to seeing final product. Will they be annoed (what color) or raw?

[sQuidvision]

Awesome! Depending on price I will snag one of these.. Looks great!

[knownothingmags]

same on price ,

heck yeah more parts.

[Hobbez]

Very interested depending on price.

[LK-13]

consider making the rail part of the body forming a unibody?
with the body contours of the MM...
like this only different:

[sQuidvision]

^^ Bottom feed?

[Ando]

Scott's also in the process of doing a run of these bodies for some of us over on BEO. :D

He's been in talks with a shop to get them done.

[Xmagterror]

I milled the slots tonight. This body should look really awesome on my acid red emag once i polish it.

for those that are wondering ACE and Pump milling services will be available options.

Ive gotta run some numbers this week to figure out pricing and then i will start the preorder in the dealers section.

My goal is to keep the price low on these. They will be slightly more expensive than a AGD ULE body.....More material and also deeper bores takes longer to cut.

a warp version might be an option...just need to take some measurements and modify the program a bit.

I made a unibody...the shockwave....its not bottom feed though

still playing with the rifle mag idea! Did you ever make good use of the blank you bought from me around 4 years ago?

[river031403]

I think the unibody would be great this way it would rule out pim alignment issues with body to rail :)

[Carnage reigns]

Not a fan of a unibody design. Hopefully he would make a body by itself if he does decide to do the unibody.

[Carnage reigns]

What's the radius of this body compared to a ule? It looks skinnier?

[OPBN]

Looks good.

[C_losjoker]

Unibody will add time and cost. I like having the option of using any rail on this one.

[sQuidvision]

What's the radius of this body compared to a ule? It looks skinnier?
I'd guess that's an illusion caused by this body being longer. It would have to have the same measurements as a ULE radius wise to be compatible with other parts.

[rseb4agze]

It would be cool to see pics of it side by side against a ULE body. Also maybe another pic of the Aluminum body attached on a AM/MM style rail w/ barrel attach?

[Loguzzzzzz]

Yeah, and maybe a picture of a barrel screwed in so we can get the full affect!

[Xmagterror]

I dont have any old school parts to take a picture of it on. The radius and such are very similar to the ULE body its just longer in the front. I will post some pics with a barrel in it...just need to find an anodized one so it has some contrast. planning on polishing the body and will post pics.

I started the preorder on tue...its in the dealers section.

[magtard13]

AWESOME!!!! i wish they were available a long time ago. i definately want to get one. centerfeed minimag with cocker threads.... perfect.
what colors will there be?

Polished......go to the dealers section to order

[Runamok]

Looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short...again. I just made my "MMULE"(mini mag ULE) body out of a cut down ULE body and tubing, still got to finish it up and polish it but same idea. I wish I had a machinist around here that would even look at custom work. Mine will be pump milled, since it's going on my RT rail that I'm making a pump kit for. Great work and "curse you aquascum"! :cuss: :rofl:

[GEE TEE]

Finally got the pump together on the new body. Really pleased with final look. It makes the gun a lot lighter and gives me a whole new barrel wardrobe to try out :D

[RST]

Sweet pump!

[Carnage reigns]

does anyone have a weight on these bodies vs a ULE?

[Nobody]

i would assume safely that, because both bodies are the same material, but the minimag style is longer, it would weigh just a little more than a standard ULR with the same parts.
