    I like the overall look of the straight versionas it is now, but I can't figure how it will look on a marker all assembled (with lines and asa) ready to work.

    Just to understand the design :

    With the cavity as it's now, you'll have to use a straight macro fitting and the macroline will go out for the LPR in a curvy way to go to the asa. is it right ?

    Perhaps, if you have time, you could install a macro fitting, macro line and asa to show us how it looks "ready to work"

      That's ok to me. I'm just thinking ahead what I'm going to need with this if I plan to use CCM 90degree fitting from the bottom of this to the asa under the grip.

        I don't think a 90* fitting will work, not sure if you can even install it, the design is meant for a straight fitting.

          Do do do.....

          I personal like what I see, either the straight cut or curved design. My particular sight of interest is on utilize this lpr with a total luke mag. Trying to figure out how all the lines will flow. I do love when the grip is up next to the lpr so there is no gap. I'm not sure if the single trigger vert luke posted and the double trigger one has different lengths to correlate differently with the length of the rail.

            you can, you just need to use 1/8 female to male extender to get high enough from the bottom of that cavity.

              Yes, of course that would work.

                My parts just came in, here is a picture of a Microline fitting from Palmers, it does install with an allen wrench like the Macro fittings I've seen.
                It sits less than 1/8" below the surface of the bottom of the grip.

                The set screw on the left of the fitting is the LPR adjusting screw that was mentioned previously.

                The cavity side wall size and shape will be addressed on the production run.

                  My double and single trigger frames are identical in all ways except for the trigger guard shape, the length is identical.

                    Less weight, the better. Like you said Luke, everything starts to add up.

                      This could be difficult because they don't screw with an allen wrench like the macros or micros.

                          This is not really an original concept, there are tons of markers set up this way.
                          This is OPBNs marker with a recessed fitting (partially recessed anyway) on one of my foregrips.

                            That's true.
                            In this particular setting (I've almost the same on my RPG mag), it's nice because the the frame is longer than the fg.
                            But I'm not sure it would look so nice with a short frame.
                            When I look at your pic of the lpr with your vert frame, I think it would be nicer with a 90 screwed at the bottom than it would look with a straight macro inside the lpr and the macro going out of it.

                            But it's just a personnal opinion about the "look", and I'm sure you do the maximum to get the best part possible.

                              Won't be a problem. You can slot the top for a flat head screwdriver. Or thread lock to the macrofiting before insertion.
