Just an FYI

[CoolHand]

A couple of weeks ago, I dug up all the production parts I had left to sell and sent them to Air Soldier Products. Have Blue and I have an arrangement now, so he will be doing all the retailing of any production stuff I may manufacture in the future.

If you've been after a UMF, a vert Imp frame, a VSF, or a USF, Have Blue has got you covered.

Not everything is listed on his site yet, so if you want something he doesn't list, send him an email and ask.

He even has a single gloss black Alpha Rail I found. It's brand new, still in the bubble wrap from ano three years ago.

There are no FireBlades though, sorry.

That is all, just thought you guys should know who's got the goods now.

LINKAGE!

Linky works fine for me.

[CoolHand]

Yeah, works here too.

You can also just go to www.AirSoldier.com , click the logo, and then click the "Close Outs" button.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't figure that Alpha would last long.

On the upside, I think I will be doing another run of them late this coming summer, after I get all the UEF's delivered.

When they come, ASP will have them. I'll announce it here first obviously.

[Chronobreak]

good to hear, ive been wanting one for a while.

I hadn't been considering it, but I guess I could.

I do not think that there is enough width in an Alpha to accommodate a pump rod though.

It'll break through the outside of the rail in the narrow part.

I'll have a look at the CAD of the pump rail and we'll have to see if there's enough meat to make it work.

You are right it will break through but I think it still looks great.I saw it here on Jays pump

Yeah, that does look pretty badass.

But if it worked on Jay's, why would you need one without the ULE milling inside? His was a standard Alpha. The holes he drilled through the sidewall like that serve to align things, you don't need a full length groove.

Am I missing something here? Did he have to make an insert or something to fill in the ULE pockets? Got any pictars of the insides of that rail?

If I can do them without a lot of fuss, I'd be more than happy to cut some for you. I just don't want to have to totally rethink my process to make it work.

I always like the looks of the Alpha rail, but I have never seen one in person. Can you use a twistlock body with them?

The orginal version, yes.

The new version, probably not. I dunno for sure really, depends on how the design falls out.

I will be doing a run of originals, and a run of new Alphas that are longer to match the ULE bodies, and to take RTP Sears. We'll just have to see how it all shakes out.

Not missing anything at all. Jay told me it will work uled but you have to have the pump rod bent and aligned absolutely perfectly and it will stay there and work fine as long as it's fitting tight in the pump handle. I just thought it would be more forgiving if it wasn't uled.Either way I'm going to try it
