    I like the 15* asa better too as far as looks go. And i like the idea of making it pneu, gah, i can't afford that with school raping me the way it is damn you.

      This is just so amazing man! Way to go!!! I like the angled ASA as well. How about a small angled piece of aluminum on the back of the frame? Something with this shape:



      That would make a snatch grip.

        I don't think it would look good on the frame personally. It'd be nice but wouldn't look nice.

          Also, I forgot to mention, that's not a vert ASA. It's actually a -5 degree angle to match the lines of the guard and grip.
          The vert looked worse, trust me.

            I like the vert asa a little more than the 15 degree. Love the vert ram option in this last one. I like the way things are headed so far. Any plans for a pneu trigger rod passage so I don't have to drill one thru the trigger guard?

              I took a few comments and made some changes.
              By the way, I'm using firefox and photobucket... I've had no issues

              I did make an EGO-type trigger gard and It just wouldn't flow with an integrated ASA on the front. looked kinda retarted IMO.
              Plus, it just so happened a rounded off UMF grip is about the same size as the EGO grip. Only difference is the frame angle is a teeney bit different.
              So I left the basic UMF shape. Those UMFs have ALOT of room in them. Plus, they can be tapped for EGO grips.
              Longer tail to capture the zpin. Rounded out the back so the frame insn't so angular.
              Included another version for consideration that has the ASA moved forward. (I still like the 15 degree look more).
              Included the LPR hose line. Fixed the trigger pin clearance issue. Changed the trigger guard shape slightly.

              Curiosity killed the cat, or so they say:

              still cant see pics in firefox....its only with photobucket pics too weird.....just tried it with my other computer, it works fine on there. Just this one, great. OK WTF, picture that was reposted by mpsd shows up fine....but the original Pneumagger posted doesnt.

              Anyway, nice idea about splitting the trigger pivot....didnt realize the triggers were wide enough.

              I like them all to tell you the truth. Nice job on integrating the MPA3 holder. Any reason for not just boring a hole for the piston and tapping a fitting instead of mounting an additional component?

              Might be a pita to machine the spaced out ASA like that....and your going to need a radius on the front of the trigger guard where it connects back to the frame.(between trigger guard and asa). Other than that, it looks great. I really like the extended back for the z-pin, keeps the rail look, with reduced height....only thing that sucks is it will waste more material.

                I like the MPA3 mounting a lot!

                The -5* ASA is much better, aesthetically speaking, than the 15*

                As far as the snatch grip is concerned, I don't see the need. They aren't very useful in the first place.

                    *sigh...starts putting money away*

                    I like it...its a very neat idea. I haven't really even gotten my mag put together yet, but now I'll be on the look out for this in the future I think. Don't even see any mags at hte fields I play as it is.

                      I still think the reg is too close to the trigger guard to hold the top of the reg and clear the trigger guard with your figures.

                        I know I'm probably getting annoying in here....but what about a dovetail rail protruding from the front? Allow customers to choose the angle/placement of the asa they like. Also this will cut down on machine time since the raw material of the frame doesnt have to be as wide as the asa, since it wouldnt have to be a single piece any more.

                        I guess it wouldnt have to be a dovetail..could just be like the classic mag rail.(I know I already mentioned it, but thought I would again)

                        It wouldnt be as pretty as a 1 piece setup like the models posted, but it leaves room for expandability. And it doesnt force the use of an asa type foregrip.

                          It would cost so much to offer separate ASA's that it would kill the order. We've got to hit around 50 orders to have a respectable price on uniframe.
                          Add in ASA's and your doubling the parts count of the order and adding more shop time. I just don't see it as feasible.
                          If we get like 200+ orders ( ) maybe... but that's not happening.

                            I'm not sure that I saw this mentioned or addressed anywhere in this thread... warp bodies? Would they be an issue for the useability of this frame?
