AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I want to mill an aluminum body that accepts twistlock barrels and still has a vertical removable feedneck.
What can I say... I love me some twistlock barrels
I have a couple old SS kicking around... I'll search for and post up later.
(I got a nice centerfeed barrel (JJ 2 peice? something like that..) too that has been sitting in my closest for 4 years... /plug)
ok..
6 1/4 long.
about 1 1/4 circumference
Feed hole from 2 1/4 to 3 from front .
twist lock thingy from like 2 to 2 1/2 (you'd best line it up on your rail and stuff)
anything else you need on it?
Start of on/off hole (from back of body)= 0.122"
Diameter of on/off hole= 0.231"
Start of Sear Slot (from back)= 1.477"
Length of Sear Slot= 1.429"
Start of Front Frame Screw Hole (from back of body to tip of rear threads)= 3.902"
Start of Twistlock Hole (from back of body)= 4.33"
Diameter of Twistlock Hole= 0.268"
You should know that there is a ~2mm gap between the mainbody and the valve on my mag. Might be the body's fault, might not. And I didn't measure the breach because I can't do it accurately due to the powerfeed being in the way.
Start of on/off hole (from back of body)= 0.122"
Diameter of on/off hole= 0.225"
Start of Sear Slot (from back)= 1.475"
Length of Sear Slot= 1.425"
Start of Front Frame Screw Hole (from back of body to tip of rear threads)= 3.902"
Start of Twistlock Hole (from back of body)= 4.33"
Diameter of Twistlock Hole= 0.266"
Would someone mind mailing me a spare body, I can have it measured and back ASAP. I'll cover your fees as well. Not that I don't trust ya'll... I just like having firsthand info.
Wouldn't it be easier to modify an existing ULE body or get hold of a sluggo? ie ream out the cocker threads and add an extra hole for the twistlock etc.
Or are the dimensions smaller than the stainless bodies? I forget, been years since I've looked at a classic body.

This is not for a mag. I simply stated I want to mill an aluminum body to accept a vertical twistlock barrel. Hence, I need accurate female twistlock dimensions.
Joe-if you need one let me know. I have to mail you some stuff anyways and you can keep the body for awhile. I also, have some twistlock assemblies if you need some of those too.

Want a gun? I probably have what you want or I can build it for you. Just name it, everything is possible.
