Switched rails now having issues

[Nobody]

Come on Nobody, you've already been down this road before. Luke has put up disclaimers and items to look out for on his site. We're lucky and fortunate that Luke does take the time to respond to people with issues to try to get their stuff working again.

Just as your title under your name says, "Nobody's Perfect". Remember that.

Disclaimer? Just staying in spec would remove the need for a disclaimer and the problems associated with a part that does not work.

So, everyone that made products(Magnus, Tuna, XMT, KAM, Deadlywinds, etc) is wrong for staying within spec? Did they take it upon themselves to alter parts just for their needs? No, those before knew to stay within the guidelines so everyone can use parts without problems.

And it's 'Nobody is perfect'...

Oh come on. That statement is not only wrong but extremely inappropriate.

No. The one feature, before it was a feature, was the modularity of AGD products. Other than the classic RT, you can take any product and apply it to any other and it will function properly. Not saying things won't wear out or come out of spec(spring packs, sear rods, springs, etc), but within the hard parts, their should be a set spec that you stay in and things will work as intended by Tom Kaye.

By changing the spec, you are changing the reliability and the use of product.

The Classic AM sear sits below the bottom of the rail too.

Neummech and I have already discussed this, he said he was going to make adjustments on the next run of frames if he makes more.

To be fair, it's just as fair to say Nummech isn't compatible with LC rails. It's a two-way street and and that incompatibility can pretty easily be fixed by Nummech. The sear design on hybrid rails is a design choice, not an oversight.

This is an overlay of the RTP and Hybrid rails, the only spec difference between the two is the .0714" BELOW the sear pin. The proper spec is maintained between the sear, on/off, bolt, and body. I have compared my CAD to the AGD CAD files and they are exact where it matters.

If these rails or anything I do pisses you off, hold my beer because I'm only getting started! :rofl:

You are probably right. My marker was working fine before I switched rails and I switched it back to the old rail with a new sear with unadjusted trigger rod and it isn't shooting either, so it can't be the rail.

No worries, we'll get it straighten out.

Did you get the marker in the mail yet?

For all intents and purpose Hybrid Rails are Automag rails, and they are to spec where it matters. I have sold 100 Hybrid rails, I'll warrant these two markers have some other issue.

No one uses Automag rails on Emags, does that make classic rails out of spec?

Pro Team/Benchmark, 32 Degrees, Dye, Omega, Taso, almost all of them couldn't get the spec right. This is why when you sent your gun to AGD with any of these aftermarket parts on your gun AGD would take them off. The parts were basically ****. Not saying Luke's stuff is bad as I have never had one of his rails that didnt work. Always take your dimensions off of an old school 68 Automag and it will work every time. Dont change the specs and expect people to know any different down the road.

Suffice to say, because Luke could not follow AGD spec, any time you use a Luke rail, you will experience a problem. You loose the reliability, you loose the flexibility of swapping parts with any AGD product(except for the classic RT), and you just plain loose. Its sad to say, but the truth is, Luke's new rails changed the geometry of the sear and you will have nothing but problems.

PhrostPhreek and Ross, contact me about making arrangements to send in your markers, I'll gladly take a look at them.
