The Mystery frame from Tunaball3

[Wrathbringer]

I will make panels for this frame if you guys will do pre-pay orders. Ando has offered up his frame for the design.

Put me down for a set!

[Ando]

I'm going to make a separate post for the panels. I'll get it done sometime tonight. I just need some info from Luke first.

Would Luke take them as an even trade?

No idea, I had him machine these specifically for me though.

I can live with 'em, it's not that big of a deal.. until i see how awesome the new ones are anyway

[Shirow]

Eh, you know.. looking at these again tonight.. I don't know if it's even worth it. I mean they really are a 98% fit and I don't know if most people would even care.

Ando, if you want to send your frame over for Luke to look at, go for it, just don't do it on my behalf.. I think these are fine really.

Could they fit a tiny bit better.. yes.. enough to justify making another template.. I don't think so.

could you take some more pictures for all of us so we can see what they look like on there?

Yep, for sure, I will take a couple right now.

[Shirow]

Here we go..

First one shows overall, as you can see it generally looks fine and fits well, the biggest difference is that on the curved side, it doesn't quite follow the line of the frame like they do on the Chimera (but again, it's pretty minimal). It's a bit hard to see with the shadow too but it's not quite parallel with the curve of the frame.

The second pic shows the real 'issue', there's an overhanging piece of the frame around the screw. You can kinda get your finger under it and feel it, it overlaps because the frame curves down there and the grip is flat.

Like I said though, these are tiny, tiny gripes really.. I feel kinda stupid even mentioning it today as I downstairs and look at it again..

its doesnt fit exactly but its not to bad
the dust black on those panels look great though

Yeah, it looks nice. Sometime in the very distant future when Mongoose is done and has shipped the bodies, foregrips, snatch grip etc to get the whole gun re-annoed in a nice fade and try to get a nice laser design engraved on it.. one big reason I wanted metal panels.. more surface area to be lasered :)

thats going to look pretty sick
i would love to have the mongoose bodies/rail/foregrip combo as well but i dont have the cash to do it
i would have to sell another mag to build that one and i would have a hard time deciding which one to part with

Damn you! Damn you for putting this idea in my head!
