My Latest Creation!

Not having one in front of me to look at it's not an emag sear at all. Either a modified mechanical sear that either happened to match up with the rail alignment (could have caused the need for the alignment in the first place. Or it could be a totally custom sear (pivot point changed so that the lengths match with the new sear location)

I love this penu setup. Not sure about the geometry though... how well does it work? Still light enough? Once again, fantastic work... I might have to go polish mine again just because. Like maghog likes to say... "metal was made to be polished"! I love the polished X as well. I could never polish my pewter X which is the only thing holding me back.

The rail was relocated approximately 3/4" forward and then cut to match the end of the battery pack as to not be quite as obvious. The body and valve mount using the standard holes on the rail. Yes there is a rail bushing in there too, shortened of course. I drilled and tapped new holes in the rail to move it forward. A standard RT-Pro sear was used in the stock location as well, the arm was removed. The reason for this relocation was to get the ram to hit the sear in the proper location. The body, rail and valve can be removed as a unit. The valve and body mounting screws are countersunk into the rail for a smooth surface to mount the grip frame.

The valve started life as a standard "X" valve. I stripped and polished only the exterior of the valve as to not change any of the internal tolerances. I have not shot it since it was reassembled but it was working fine when I took it apart to finish the polishing.

If you rotate the selector switch pointing to the rear it limits the trigger travel enough to act as a safety I believe. I will test this when I get the final piece, a piece of clear marcoline.

I tried to show the build in sequence of events and tried to get enough detailed photos to tell most of the story for me.

really like the way the rail was done in front. maybe some milling on the sides to go with the body some day? :)

I think this is my duh moment for the day... of course they can. This is what I get for trying to think about this stuff at work. Thanks for not making me feel too stupid!

Thanks Loguzzzzzz, doped up as I am that all actually made a lot of sense. Bolting the rail directly to the body and valve will be a PITA down the road if you need to tweak something, but it's very cool none the less.

Would be too much to ask for detailed pics of the rail? Or are you considering producing these for customers?

[Loguzzzzzz]

Since you guys asked, here are some pictures of the gun in pieces.

Slideshow

Here are some pics since the slideshow may be hard to pause.

[tbaggin]

that looks super nice.

[Temo Vryce]

That clears things up a lot. Great work. You've got some serious skillz there.

If by "shopped" you mean Photoshopped you are incorrect. I took these pictures on my front lawn this afternoon and made this thread.

These pictures are 100% real and actual. no touch up what so ever!

can't pull off internet sarcasm to save my life. i'll work on it though

[Beemer]

Thanks for the slide show and the pics. Nice job on the resize code also. I fixed that one post from that putz that was messing with the margins for ya also.

You WILL bring this to TB4.

OOooooooo..........shinny!

I'm disappointed that the rail has not been ULE'd

Beautiful....maybe Dan could make you a trigger for it.
