I'm simply stating that THIS product does not accommodate micromag bodies. If we changed it so that it did, it would no longer be THIS product.

    Perhaps I am missing the point though; Are you guys proposing two designs? One for micromag bodies and one for ULE?
    Who said anything about changing the design? I didn't, I only suggested to Pneumagger that perhaps it would be easier to mod the frame rather that the Micro body. NOT in his production run, but after the fact. If the frame can be modified for a few dollars it may increase your

      Ah, I gotchya now luke; thanks for the clarification!

      Pneumagger, have you had the chance to look into this at all?

            i haven't read the whole thread, but have some input...

            what about the strength and durability? when i hold my mag i know that it's not going to fall apart...

            with this design it might seem more like a balancing act once the hopper etc is on the gun.

                      I sumbitted quotes to one AO'ers shop last week an waiting for a response.
                      I'll to submit it to two or three more shops unless the first quote is doable.

                      When the quotes come back for each of the 6 different versions, I'll post a vote thread and we'll choose a price/frame.
                      After that, it's a race to fill a minimum preorder number.

                      The six variants will be:
                      15 degree with .45 grips
                      -5 degree with .45 grips
                      AGD rail extension with .45 grips
                      Each of the above with an intriguing interior and ego grips.

                      This thread has pretty much run it's course and I cant wait until I can start the voting thread.

                        On a side note, I've considered doing the anodizing myself.
                        An in-garage anodizing setup spread over the cost of 25-50 frames should be nearly negligible.
                        Couple of 5 gal uckets, power supply, electrolyte, some water/dye...
                        I can already do blasting (dust) here and send out to a local auto shop for polishing.
                        Basic colors. ROYGBIV. How had could it be?
                        Plus, it's cold as balls here so if the ano tank was put into a larger Ice-bath bucket, I could probably get some nice anodic layers.

                        Long as I'm not doing the polishing for those who want it, I think it'd e a great time.

                          and it motivates you to get the setup, and then you can mess around with cool patterns on your own stuff

                            wow kind of weird you mention anno, Ive been looking into it a little bit for some home stuff.

                            Best site ive found is http://www.focuser.com/atm/anodize/anodize.html

                            It really doesnt look too difficult for basic solid colors.

                            Saves on shipping cost to and from anno, and avoids annodizer's markup.....that should pay of the initial investment in the anno setup.

                              I haven't paid attention to this thread until now, but I would definitely be in if it had a vertical ASA, would work with warp bodies, and was not much more than $200 including black annodization. Bonus if it has the dovetails on the bottom of the grip, the extended rear, and no safety. Looking forward to the next stage of this project!

                                I really like it. ESPECIALLY b/c it integrates the rail and the vert asa into the frame for one solid piece. I'd like to see it with a straight reg asa and possibly the geometry of a UL frame. Or a Marq frame. Something slim.
