Some of you will understand this picture. The rest... don't worry about it.

[sQuidvision]

If your goal was to get me to stare at the picture for a good two minutes you succeeded. Didn't you do this mod quite a while ago?

Goat that looks great? liking that trigger guard dood!!! what rail you got on there???

[Justus]

The gauge is on upside down... and unless the VASA is tapped on the other side, it's useless anyway.

Also, aftermarket/custom trigger guard for the cut CF frame; Looks like it's got an aftermarket (Air America?) reg on the valve; possibly has a TL/AC adapter in there and an AC threaded freak barrel; and is that a BT springfeed you're trying to place on there?

1. trigger guard - plastic
2. trigger - plastic
3. rtp rail with classic ASA grooves - plastic
4. mag to cocker adapter (look in the breech) - plastic
5. top rail - plastic (from Trracer; you've seen that one before)

ohhh, see we have a problem already, someones already made one and they have a pretty solid copyright on it.




Had to

Ah. I noticed all of that, just didn't (couldn't) guess that it was all plastic. Something seemed funny about the rail but couldn't tell that much from the pic.

So... lightweight?

Very. The rail is 1.3oz. With ule body and xvalve, no barrel or foregrip, its 1lb 6oz. DW 14" fibur is like 2.5oz.

Have you gotten to play with this, yet? If so, how is the rail holding up? How much did it cost to have the rail printed?

I was also wondering if you would be willing to send me the OpenSCAD files for the different variants you did of this rail? I've finally got a little time to play around with this again.

I've been playing with these parts nearly every weekend since that post. Everything is holding up; the dodgiest part would be the front of the rail which I slotted for the classic vert ASA screw to be adjustable. That screw doesn't exactly have a large head so there isn't a lot of plastic holding the vertical ASA on there, but it's still holding. The mag2cocker, trigger guard, and even the trigger are holding up just fine. Granted, I'm not RT'ing my way across the field either.

Printed up at Shapeways, it was about $50, which is kind of expensive, until you realize how much a good ULE rail winds up costing, including warp notching and anodizing it back to black.

The release of the file is a stickier issue. It's derived from AGD's cad files and I dunno what their stance on this is.

Hey thats an awesome vid man!
digging the mag- could you give some details as to what feed system your using i want to do something similiar... thanks

[captian pinky]

where did you get the rail from?

[zondo]

1. trigger guard - plastic
2. trigger - plastic
3. rtp rail with classic ASA grooves - plastic
4. mag to cocker adapter (look in the breech) - plastic
5. top rail - plastic (from Trracer; you've seen that one before)

Just don't dive too hard into a bunker!

That's awesome. I've been thinking about getting one printed, too. It's good to know it's been holding up for you.

Awesome video. I love the feed system, too.

You're right. Considering it is a customer ULE rail, $50 is not bad at all.

No problem about the files. I think I've finally got the hang of OpenSCAD. I'll just pull out the caliper again and get things measured out, this time in mm. If you find that you can release any of the files, my email address is bbotts at gmail.

Thanks for the update and the video!
