[Soonersdds]

I don't have rail to mill right now but can I just buy a spot for the future.

[C_losjoker]

For the ultra light can you use a rail that already was warped millled?

Also all the milling are on emag or rt lenght rails correct?

[luke]

Sorry man cant do it. I need to get your rail in the group with the others so they can all be done in one setup. ;)

I'll get payment info out tomorrow on the new orders.

:cheers:

[shooter311]

Payment sent...

[river031403]

Luke I'm trying to get more funds so I can send in more rails I'll send payment tonight and ship monday

[shooter311]

It looks like there will be plenty of raw metal after this. Would anyone want to see if we could find an anodizer willing to do a batch of gloss black? I'm assuming most will have it ano'd gloss black and it might make things simpler for Luke to ship most of them to one guy, and it will probably be cheaper in the long run.

[wixxxman]

Payment sent :clap:

[El Zilcho]

Luke, might I suggest taking photos of the various rail types while you have a bunch in house, I know it would have been helpful to me to see a actual picture of the rail when I was trying to decide which style to pick. Not picking on your CAD drawings but sometimes you can't beat a real picture, just a thought.

lol, everyone hates on the cads, all detail is lost on raw aluminum in pictures. I like the cad because it shows the actual shape. ;)

Perhaps to appease us whiners you could have both the CADS and actual pics :D Like I said, just an idea, either way I will continue to look to you for most of my milling needs.

[BTAutoMag]

just a small request... can you get a group shot of all the rails when theyre done :p

[luke]

^^ This.

When this started up, I went looking online to snag a AM/MM rail for it. Too late. Then I spot one in my own sale thread! Doh! :eek:

(Hard to keep track of what you have in the sale box when the wife makes you clean up everything and move it all down to the basement :mad: )

[luke]

Sorry guys this is closed and wont be reopened.

[sQuidvision]

Legend tells of a man who milled rails without even taking them out of the box they shipped in... Lightning Luke they call him.

:ninja:

Wasn't me, but I do put set screws in the sightrail holes on my Emag/RTP rails. Sorry to hear that Luke, did it ruin a mill?

[knownothingmags]

NOTE TO SELF: Always check and make sure customer has not left set screws in sight rail holes! :cuss:
hope it didnt kill anything.

[luke]

Didn't kill anything but the final product kind of sucks. The only way I can think of removing them is in an anno tank.

Get some reverse drill bits. Use the smallest one you have, make a hole then use a larger one and go very slow. Usually the larger one will catch on the smaller hole and that might turn out the rest of the screw. There's no pressure on the so it should just come right out.

Uggh, I hope I was not the culprit. I was in a rush when I grabbed the rails and threw them in the box... If so I'll make an additional donation to the save AO fund...

I didnt catch them before the rail was milled, the only way to get them out now is an anno tank. ;)

ding-ding we got a winner. :)

No worries, my biggest concern was on the pump slot. I was afraid it would break the tiny end mill, but didn’t.

I was able to sand out the chatter marks on the side of the rail, but the left over set screws can not be removed without going in the anno tank. (Anodizing will burn them out.)
