      Wow, that's some nice work! Glad to see that it's AM/MM length too!

      The only thing that really bothers me is that wide, beavertailed, rear taper. Could it just be a nice, swoopy curve to go with the curvaceous theme of the Ripper? For example, starting from the detent, the 9th "rip" back--just follow the flow of the rip up to the end of the rail. Kind of like the Nike swoosh. (Maybe even from the 8th rip since that's how many rips there are on the body.)

      On a side not, if you gradually deepened the cut in the space between the bottom of the rips, it'd take the blockiness out the bottom and make it as curvaceous as the top of the Ripper body.

      I'd definitely be interested in purchasing a S.S. Ripper rail but I'd want to see the final version first. it's also a shame that it wouldn't have a S.S. Ripper body to match up with...

        O yea, the V2 rails are almost a round bottomed rail. I also fixed the back end quite a bit so it should look quite smexy. I'll get some Solidworks drawing on the V2 up soon once I get back to school.

          Well, the V2 Ripper run has been delayed awhile due to no access to the CNC's.

          But on another note, anyboby here interested in buying the blemished V1 Ripper Rail I made? If so PM me about it and we can talk.

            Any access to the CNCs and progress on the V2 Ripper Rail run?

              The prototype V2's are actually done already. Here is the thread about them I made:

              http://automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=250644

              Wasn't pleased with the V2's as much as I was with the V1's, the V2's just didn't "fit" right with the body. But the V3's Ripper design should look superb once I wrap it up.
