    Does Benchy frame w/ Wings fit Micromag?

    I just picked up a vert feed micromag body and need a frame. Will a benchmark frame w/ wings fit it, or only the wingless?

    Thanks,
    Sky

        Actually, Micro2000s are designed with a wingless frame in mind... That's why they accept emag lowers without any "slop" space that would otherwise be filled by wings. I will check and update this post, but I think that your body will not accept a winged frame.

          I just double checked... The vertfeed Micromag (Micro2000) will not fit a winged AGD or winged Powerlyte frame.

          I currently have a wingless R/T style Powerlyte frame on my Micro2000 and the edges line up prefectly, which is why I doubted that a winged frame would fit. That said, wingless frames are easy to come by, and wings are easily milled (though I advise against it since some winged frames aren't as easy to find as they once were).

          Thankfully, most new(er) frames are wingless.

                I knew it wasn't exactly the same, but like you I looked and thought "But... That really is close..." so it was worth checking for all 3 of our sakes.
