    You say, "if you're good at carving wood," what about aluminum? I could give you a model, one to one, but you'd have to let me know what you're limited to as far as a production model goes.

      I don't see some C&C machine doing the works of art you pull off.

        Ditto. I think Dan should make custom body sleeves for Mags. Ive been dying to get crackin on it but my buddy with the mill shop is fairly unreliable (go figure )

            There have been a ton of post already and thats a good!!!

            If you plan to carve a design out of wood find yourself some 1.5" diamter dowell.

            The designs could be made out of anything really....as long as they can handle a couple of pounds of pressure from the digitizing stylus.

            As for the quesiton about a new design taking longer to run.....i should not take much longer and may be a bit faster. It will not change all that much because the slugs are the same size.

            My cnc mill can copy and reproduce any kind of hand carved artwork....not a problem.

              A production body designed by Triggernomics? I think I just peed a little.

                      There are some great designs.

                      I love the blue body from page 1.

                      If the Lions ever came to BE, their would have to be 5 of them.They would all have to somehow mount together in a mini gun configuration!

                      or

                      Good luck on the body designs.
