    Extreme Body and Foregrip...

    Hello all!

    This is my first post here! Although I have been reading the boards for months on end and I feel like I already know many of you!

    Anyways, more about me later... :)


    I wish to purchase an Extreme Body to upgrade my Minimag. I will explain why in a moment. I have all the parts I need to complete the marker, but I lack one thing, a foregrip.

    I believe that a hole can be drilled in the front lip to mount one, maybe even two, the second one being recessed a bit, and both being countersunk, for flush mounting. With two screw holes I could mount a RTPro foregrip?

    What are all of your ideas on this? In order to make this work, I need a foregrip on that body, as I am unable to play without something to stabilize the marker with. Any suggestions? Have any of you already done this? Any recommendations for a foregrip? Does AGD already have a plan for this?

    Here is the deal. I have a nice Minimag Retro, LX, Intelli etc, the works. I recently built my friend a RTPro, and the two markers should be the same, but they are not. His fires much nicer then mine and I know it comes down to the trigger sear differences. His marker makes me jealous, but they are two different animals. I am a front player, my Minimag is very tight. He is a back player and his RTPro is a beast.

    After doing alot of research, I know that I do not want to build a RTPro, and I do not want an Emag. Too much to fuss with. But I have found that the new Upgrade Extreme Bodies use the RTPro Sear, so that solves my dillema! Except the foregrip. Everythign else will transfer over to the Extreme body, and I get a better trigger, and an even BETTER looking marker then my Minimag, which I didn't think was possible, but I am in love with the Extreme look.

    What to do with that foregrip?

    Thank you all for your time,

        Erm, extremes don't need a rail. It's built into the body. Hope you get an answer about the foregrip.

          What I now know...

          Hello all!

          Here is the scoop. I found out how to get a Foregrip on this here Extreme body...

          Manike helped me out, he knew what to do, of course he did.

          What I understand, is that I get me a drill press, all nice and fancy like. I drill me a hole, from underneath the front of the body.

          I tap this here new hole with a 1/8" NPT threading.

          I screw in (with loctite) a Vertical ASA, an Eclipse Bushmaster ASA for example, which I have looked at and like very much.

          Then add the foregrip of my choice! No screws showing from the top, under the barrel. Clean looking foregrip!

          Thanks Manike!

          This is a small winter project for me, so I will post pictures when finished. The question begs to be asked tho,

          WHAT COLOR???

          I will have a Black Intelliframe, and I assume I will keep the foregrip black to match. So what color body should I get?

          Thanks All!

            so you plan on sendign the air into a hole in the main body?

            then where? into nowhere ville?? that makes no sense to me. dont the bushy /impy verts send the air into the valve chamber and their retaining screw has a hole in it for the air to go through....

              Foregrip...

              Hello Everyone!


              I hope I have not confused everyone with this. I am not looking for a gas thru grip. I will run a direct line from my flatline tank to the Retro Valve. I just need to use a screw in vertical ASA to mount to the Extreme body, and the Bushmaster ASA fits the job.

              I have no need for a gas through grip, just a foregrip to hold on to!

              Thanks for the imput, I hope this clears up any confusion!

                You could buy a RT-Pro/Emag ULE rail, or a stock RT-Pro/Emag rail and buy a RTP/Emag body which includes vertical feed ones if you want.

                  ah, gotcha now, just didnt see where the air would have fone from the foregrip....lol!!!

                  anyways, magsrule3, i believe the rail will be built into the Extreme(similar to the PTP and SFL emags) and therefore wouldnt work with the rails that you recommended.

                    ?

                    Hello!

                    Ahhh thanks for the info Magsrule3! I am not intersted in making an RTPro really, I like the Extreme Body. My friend has an RTPro, and it is a really nice marker, just not what I am looking for. But I was looking at the ULE rail, and trying to decide if I could have it milled to accept my Minimag body, and Anno it etc... In the end, the Extreme won.

                    I am glad I cleared up the foregrip question!
