Gauging interest

[renie]

As most of you now by now i do some Custom stuff, ive been working on some frame and body ideas but have been concentrating on the body more.
Anyway this is still in progress but what do you guys think? as i wil put this into production if there's enough interest.
The final version will have eye covers and hidden detents.
it still needs some work but here it is:

[El Zilcho]

Looks great in my opinion, the lines remind me of modern automobile design. I am willing to say that quite a few people would be interested, me included.

[maverick13]

Looks nice.
I could be interested.... depending on price.

[dboggs79]

That is probably the best milling I've seen on a mag body. Any consideration on doing a single piece body/rail combination? What are you planning to use for detents?

[SouthMcSuck]

That looks real nice. If the price is right, I'd be interested as well.

[OPBN]

Am I mistaken, or is this a unibody? I'll admit, it does look nice. Unfortunately I'm not currently in the market for a new setup, but it is one of the better designs that I have seen. I think demand will obviously depend on price.

depending on price.

what does it cost to SHIP a mag body from england

[OPBN]

Flat rate box prices are ridiculous. IIRC its about $30-40 to ship a small flat rate box to Europe. These could easily fit into a padded envelope and it wouldnt most likely be over $15.

it is a single piece its stillin progress, once i finish it i will give a guide on price.
it will have eyepockets and covers willed in each side milled for egostyle eyes and milled for detents aswell

I'd probably figure a price for eye milling and non-eye milling if there is a significant cost difference.

Love it!

I would not do eye covers unless they are set into the body though. This was the main reason, other than price, that few did the old style eye mod. Most say they dont like the way the eye covers disrupt the lines of the body. But there are other options now. I still think internal eyes would work even with an integrated design like this. The only issue is the tooling needed to do the internal eyes is very delicate.

I love the intentions of going with hidden detents!

[mpsd]

I like it! You should call it the X body. Great work there!

[Olsson]

My personal opinion is that it is one of the better looking designs of the ones out there. If the price on this one was in the same ballpark as most other high end custom bodies, I would probably buy this one. I am looking for a suitable body/rail for a (long term) Egomag project anyway.

Regarding eyes, I would very much prefer either hidden internal eyes, or no eye milling at all. Hidden detents is a very nice touch, which would be kind of ruined with visible eye covers.
