Classic RT Aluminum ULE body/ ULE Rail Milling

[Xmagterror]

Im in the process of doing R&D on the classic RT to make it lighter, accept autococker barrels and Angel feednecks/detents.

With a main focus on weight reduction i have made a prototype vert feed classic RT body out of aluminum and made it accept an x valve instead of doing an over the valve design that uses the stock stainless steel RT valve. I HAVE REDUCED THE WEIGHT OF THE GUN BY 1LB 1OZ SO FAR!!!!! The next phase of the R&D project is to develop ULE rail milling to reduce the weight even more.


Is there more interest in doing a body that accepts the stock Classic RT valve? The downside is there is only a 7 ounce weight savings by doing this. The stock valve is heavy.....there are also allot of guns out there that are leaking because the bore in the rail that the banjo bolt goes through is worn out.

Participate in the pole and let me know if you would be interested. I will do a run if we can get 15 units sold.

Make them both..



You're killing my wallet btw.

who needs money anyways.

who needs money anyways.

Apparently I do, if I ever plan on getting laid again. Hookers arent cheap these days.

mmmmhmm hookers.

Stock RT valve. If people want it sorter, charge an extra $5 to cut it off or let them do it.

I do want one but the only thing I probably wont like is the feedneck area like on your MM bodies. I understand about the machining but I would pay more for smoother lines.

what is the cost?

I would like to see smoother lines and leave the area rounded at the bottom screw. Is there a reason this is cut out? I can't see one and seems like extra machining. I would think AGD did it for a reason on their ULE bodies?

I know that I'm probably in the minority, but I'm still voting for a 100% compatible ule body for the classic rt. TL barrel and valve.

There's A LOT of classic rt's out there which have not seen much love in upgrades due to its valve design. A ule body will be a significant upgrade while still retaining its unique and classic design.

Although, I do understand that it caters to a much smaller audience and may not bring the same numbers as the mm body.

Yep.

Is there enough meat on the body to make a screw on back for those that want to keep it original and use the original valves? Those that don't can unscrew the back and convert it for a X or lv 7 valve....

There are a lot of Classic RTs out there.

Hush.

Before you do this can you let me know so I can buy up all the neglected classic RTs out there? These are the "steal" of the current mag market.

I would like to see it work with the stock valve as well - and keep the air through rail thing.

[splat15k]

I voted for stock valve.

XMT, do you plan on making an entirely new ULE gas-thru rail or are you planning to mill existing rails?

[Xmagterror]

what is the cost?

Not sure on the cost yet...It will be a little more expensive than the ULE minimag body i did....because the classic RT body is longer (more material and exponentially more machining time caused by long boring bars)
