So are factory RTP and Emag rails obsolete?

    Yes and no, it's all retaliative to perspective. The model is such a small part of the over-all process.

    Don't confuse frustration for anger.
    All of my current designs are new.

    I'm open to look at any drawings. If we can sell a dozen or so I will consider putting the time in.

    It's changed a couple of times. The RM kits are made for AM style rails, but pretty sure it would take minor milling to make them work with an RTP flat bottom style rail. I know with the stock AGD its just a matter or milling the wings off the pump arm and tapping everything for the two mounting holes.(I'll be pming you on this earlier) To be honest, since I am not currently in the market for a new pump rail, but would be willing to buy one (depending on price) for future use.

    RM is supposed to be doing another small run of RTP compatible kits, but think he is planning on making them for the RTP length as well. Sure he could be talked into making them AM length if needs as it should just be a shortening of the pump rod.

    Looks like the 1st run is going to be AM/MM (winged) and he is going to make a kit for ULE rails (wingless Emag length) as he calls them.

    Well as I said, my plan was to run current designs but I'm already getting flooded with PM's on 'custom requests'. I'm not sure where I'm going to find time to sit down and come up with new rail designs (for everyone's approval ), so if someone wants to donate a concept I'll take a look. For now I'm just going to design and program a basic slug and go from there.

    make something new man? why keep making the same stuff? or why copy someone elses design? you have all tha machines...tha stuff to make CADs...tha material to make the rails, why not kick back for a few days and design your own rail or concept while your designing and programming the basic slug? hopefully those questions aint gonna upset ya...if they do....oooops...still had to ask!

    There is nothing special needed there, if the rail is uled all you would have to do is cut a small notch in the 'web' separating the first and second ule pockets. The Airline runs into the rail via a slot between the two mount screws.

    A shadow style rail that took warp bodies would be an instant buy for me, does need to be long enough for an emag lower though. Been eyeballing your frames as well for a pneu build, something that matched those would be awesome too.

With that said would the lpr grip be considered with the design for the hose channel to connect the lpr to the frame to transfer the airline? I might be jumping the gun, but thought I would ask since I would live to avoid the need for re-milling or designing.
    This would caught my interest as well.

    Not saying that anything else wouldn't though.
