custom cocker body and gun "theme" ideas w/ sketches

[dyeguy65]

got bored after finals today and sketched up this cocker idea. id do it myself but i dont have the proper tools and machinery. ive seen this type of half body back block before and thought id recreate it. i was thinking about a through metal milling of NoR*CaL in the sides, but i might just laser engrave, or not do it at all. anyway...too the pics...ill explain more as i show them.

NOTE...sorry about the sideways pics...i forgot to flip em before i uploaded em. i cannot be held responsible for strained necks. look at your own risk

heres the gun. you can kind of ignore the pnues and shiz. what i wanted was a shaved tube design like the FBM bodies, but incorporate the moving back half in with that. there is some wavy milling i drew on the side to busy up the rest of the body. also, cockers have lacked a snatch grip, thought one would look pretty nice. i havent sketched up a beaver tail yet...ill ge to that later. the feedneck would be angel threaded and id like to make a roguefactor-like diamond-gripped clamping neck with money sign with a matching bolt pin. possibly a trigger too. thats something i would talk to doc about. not to mention his spiked cocking rod. other than that it has some pretty basic milling. oh and cut down for a mini-cocker

heres the body w/o the back block on showing the 2 tube design. also the back block.

Looks sweet, I'd love to see that in real life! As for the main body design, the milling looks awesome but has one problem. Most tube designed cockers have major problems with alignment. It'd cost more to have the whole thing milled out (instead of having the tubes pressed in) but in the end, you wouldn't have to worry about the bolt not lining up right. I kinda like the idea of the entire logo moving back and forth, but it will increase your cocking mass and make it slower to cycle. Cool tho!
