RT classic body compatability question

[big poppa fluff]

I was using a measuring tape to estimate how much would have to come off. I won't know exactly til I get back to work.
Also, is the rt classic body SS or aluminum? I was just wondering because it's so much lighter than my MM body.

SS. Don't think AGD did much with AL till the early 2000s. Lol.

OK. As promised

Back half OD difference is .1255

Classic rt valve back half OD - 0.996
Classic rt main body OD - 1.1625
Classic rt main body ID - 1.0165

RTPro valve back half OD - 1.1215
RTPro main body OD - 1.1155
RTPro main body ID - 1.0305

Now for grins.
Classic minimag valve OD - 1.1260
Classic minimag main body OD - 1.1255
Classic minimag main body ID - 1.0500

Thank you for this. You just made my job alot easier, hopefully the machinist at work aren't to busy this weekend!

Ok, I was just really shocked by how much lighter it was.

Here is a before pic if anyone wanted to see it. Sorry it's so dark.

Never really thought about the body weight. Mine has been totally dismantled 3 times I think since 97.

No problem with the specs. Did that while inventorying a pile of pb stuff I'm getting ready to post up for sale.

Interested to see the outcome to this. I've always preferred the classicRT look also. And thought about doing what your planning. Just never did it since I use my classic rt as a main gun anyways.

Only point that I see that could matter. The retaining pin in the reg portion. On all normal mag valves its close to the back on the left. On the classic rt its close to the front on the right. And hooks in to the main body. Not the rail. Me. I prob wouldn't worry about it at all. But others might.
