    I can really only make these vert feed (or warp feed maybe).....power feed would require welding and thats a big no no if you plan to anodize the body.

    Keep voting on which version you would like to see made.

    I really lean in favor of making the body accept an x valve...because you only save 6 or 7 oz of weight by swapping out the body....with an x valve and ule milling it will be aprox 1lb 4 oz of savings!!!!!!!! Thats huge!!!

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

      I will offer ULE milling services on your existing rail.

        Just my .02 because I don't have a Classic RT, nor do I plan on buying one. There are a fair amount of options for non-Classic RT valved markers in regards to bodies. There are little to no options for Classic RT valved markers. Either make the body so that it accepts a spacer to fit Classic RT's if you want to make it work for X valves as well or make a run specifically for Classic RT's.

          The RT is unique in the fact that the sear is aprox .07 off position from an emag or RT pro....so the classic RT body will only work on a classic RT. I might also make some bodies just like the minimag bodies but with the RT holes in the front to fit all other mags. So many projects...so little time!!!LOL

          From the looks of it so far more than half would like to use the stock valve...

          I will not be making just one length of body and chopping it off to fit an x valve....too much wasted machine time and material. I will do a preorder and people can buy what they want. as always with the mag aftermarket parts business in this age/economy its too hard to predict how to make.

            Than either I am missing something or don't really see the reason for making body that houses an X valve, but fits Classic RT lowers. You are discarding what makes the Classic RT a Classic RT by getting rid of the valve. The air through rail is neat on the CRT, but would be negated when using an X.

              Its just another option for classic RT owners that want to make their guns lightweight! Chances are i will make the body in both versions

                Agree 100%! If this is done to fit an x valve, there will be a bunch of the stock valves with no use. There are already a number of options for the x valve. Lets put the stock valve to use! Any thoughts on making a warp body an option? Also, is the front gonna be like the mm bodies with slots or holes; square end or will it be cut back like the stock body?

                  It will look just like the original classic RT body. I still think there is a demand for those that want to cut over a pound off their RT.

                    I realize a lot of people have more money than brains, but I can't imagine someone spending $400 ( Xvalve + body) to convert a $200 marker and then get left with a valve and body that are worthless. I can understand someone maybe spending the $200 for the body to convert thair CRT over to a vert feed with AC barrel capabilities and proper detents.

                    I also think that people may buy a Classic RT styled body to replace their RTPro SS bodies to have a faux CRT.

                    Again, just my .02.

                        FYI....

                        I have dibs on anyone selling their SS vert feed Classic RT body once they buy one of these

                          Xvalve On a Classic RT ?

                          I couldnt wrap my head around that either.

                          I'd own a classic RT if it wasnt for the twist lock barrel and powerfeed body, not a fan of either.

                          But what the point of putting an Xvalve on a classic RT is escaped me.

                          There are many ULE rail options for RT Pro's, not to mention custom bodies.

                          But to the contrary, according to the poll looks like there may be a market for it.

                            I can see your point....but lots of people have extra x valves..the weight reduction and ditching the banjo bolt
                            Setup are worth it. Its 10/14 in the pole right now. If i can sell atleast 12 of each style ill do it.
                            i like giving people options because everyone has their own idea of a perfect setup.

                              I think these should be twist lock. The stock classic RT barrels are awesome. There are also a bunch of those weird annoed cRTs out there... those owners probably wouldnt want a different body unless they could keep the matching barrels.

                                RT CLASSIC!!!! vert would be cool, really never cared 4 the powerfeed. now twist lock or not we want to bring back the classic so it should b twist lock... if anything make some aluminum barrel converters twist lock to cocker! how about just a RT classic slug? that would bring a whole new beast into play!!!
