My pimped ULE CUSTOM project

[Remington]

Well, as Tunaman pointed out, it's kind of a no-no to drill/mill out the little slot that keeps the valve reg in place because it becomes a safety issue when it's not there.

wait this word... saffff.. saaafte... safty? What could go wrong?!? The valve launches out the back of the body and blows a 1.5 inch hole in my head?!?

N.A.T.O.

milling

hey what r using 2 do all the milling i used a dremel and it worked pretty good but would u suggest something different

[nato]

Well, I am blessed with a friend who has an industrial sized drill press that I used for the big stuff and the finishing. In between I tried to use the dremel but found that the combinations of hacksaws, hammer and chisles, and files it worked out pretty well. It also depends on the project.

N.A.T.O.

[nato]

I forgot to say but instead of hacking off the front I decided to take out all the inside weight so there is a huge "dent" inside of the rail where I took out weight that was not needed. I made sure though that it wasnt soo much that it snap in half from becoming too weak.

N.A.T.O.

ooogly. ahh not bad for not having a mill around. but one thing i might suggest in the future of your modifications is draw out your designs and practice on some dummy peices.
im gonna have some fun if i ever get my dads lathe working.

Why practice on dummy pieces? I did do a drawing on the rail but it didnt help.

N.A.T.O.

the smartest way to reduce rail weight would be to send it to Roguefactor and have him mill the rail for you. he is in the dealer section.

been thinking

i like the milling on the rail alot but lately i havnt been able 2 stop thinking wouldnt u be scared 2 shoot with that thing next to ur face for fear of blowing a hole thru ur head?

[nato]

I'm not afraid of that poopoopoo and anyway it WONT MOVE OR DO ANYHTHING DANGEROUS!!! I would notice if it were screwing out anyway.

N.A.T.O.

[shinobidice]

uhh it shouldnt unscrew when pressure is in it, the psi in the reg should keep the threads tight, plus if all else fails, which shouldnt just use some loc-tite. Im pretty sure the valve will stay in there though

[nato]

See! Us Pie Guys dont need to get all worried and stressed about dumb things like that! Great minds think alike!

UPDATE: I may chrome the mag along with an emag and interchange the parts to my likings. Once it comes back from the painter guys I'll show some pics.
