THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!

[tysonmachado]

When I get some more money I would like to pick up an I-frame. I've got enough parts for one more mag, after that is done I'll probably sell one for money to start another one...
Here are some of the pictures in a better format:

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

i like what you did to that rail. wouldn't be willing to do another for a fee would you? lmk.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

oohhh god i love that body rail i would like that if i could buy one of those, or ship u mine to mill it exactly the same way!! omg i fell in love right when i saw that! please please sell me one or mill mine and ill pay ya! how long did it take to make that.

[magdude25]

sweet bro..love the back of that body rail...keep carvin' :)

[jah871]

what did you use to mill out the body? i am working on somthing right now and am thinking about doing some rounding and milling to it. i will post some pics when im done.

tysonmachado...

Bad *** dude! :eek:

[tysonmachado]

I'm glad you guys like it! I did all of the work with a dremel, a hack saw, and some hand files. I used sandpaper and rubbing compound to polish it all.
I have two sets done in different styles, and one more style I really want to try out. I'll post pics of all three when I'm done. I need to keep two of them for my mag and my backup, I'll sell the third.
BigRagu and Aliens, send me an e-mail or pm me. I'm sure we can work out some kind of deal.

[thecavemankevin]

now is that a stock body rail that you have just cut and carved, or is that a made from scratch one?

What bit did you use on your dremel? I am getting ready to do some milling on my rail and body, but wasn't sure which one to use. Don't worry, i wont copy your style, but it looks really nice!

[tjussery]

Wish I had that work done to my RT Pro body rail!!!:cool:

[tysonmachado]

I used a router bit but you might be better off with one of the milling bits. The routing bit is designed for wood and has a tendency to 'jump' if you let it bite too deep. I did some with the milling bit, it is a lot smoother but not quite as fast.
The body rail was stock, the gripframe is the older aluminum stock frame, the vertical adapter was stock, and the grip panels I cut from scratch from 1/4 inch aluminum plate.

REPLY TO MY PM!

[tysonmachado]

I just did!

(I like your enthusiasm!)

[Monkertrol]

You should start makin them for people, i bet you could make some money off of them

[shartley]

I am surprised noone has mentioned that it looks like a simplified version of Dan's work (Triggernomics).

But since Dan is no longer doing them, maybe you can pick up a specialty niche need? If you really enjoy doing it, and can maintain quality, consistency, and numbers, I would definitely say to go for it.

[tysonmachado]

Someday I hope to produce work as nice as Dan's. Until then I'll just keep practicing and sell what I make where I can.
When you want the best but can't afford it, get yourself a cheap knockoff!

[SoupRman]

sent you a PM! nice work man.

[tysonmachado]

Up for those of you who missed this. I might have some better pics by next week.

[Muzikman]

You wanna make me some polished grip panels for my Emag?

[Panzerr]

I want one of those body rails. They are amazing! I'd love one on my Triggernomics RetroMag. Will you make me one?

[Tunaman]

now thats funny!!!:D :D :D

[tysonmachado]

Muzikman, I don't have an E-mag so I can't fit the grips properly. If you'd like to send me your grip panels I should be able to cut a pair based on those. PM me with an offer if you are still interested.
Panzerr, I'll reply to your PM.
