New ULE Bodies? How'd we all miss this?

[TyeStick]

I hope nothing on that body is Angel threaded. It's getting harder and harder for me to locate angel threaded detents. I'd rather not have to order my detents every time I need them from a online shop. Cheaper more available detents would be a huge win in my book. Maybe autococker threaded detents?

Video up.

Per the video:

Aluminum body
accepts CCM threaded feedneck
AC threaded barrel
AC detents

I see several machining advantages in this design over the way AGD executed their design.

I do find one thing curious though, does the feed neck have some kind of sleeve around the base?

Per the video. Ugly ugly feed neck.

here is a youtube video of them

I think more could have been done in this area for sure.

Read through the comments there, they answer some feedneck and other related questions there.

All I can say is those feednecks remind me of the terrible plastic rings on the old USI Raider, which makes me wonder if there's an ugly weld hiding underneath.

There is a sleeve that covers up a welding point.

Called it.

Unnaceptable on a Phantom clone in 1992, unacceptable today.

And I have to add, CCM threads, really?

If you're screwing in to something, Angel seems to be the most common thread pattern in the industry. Anything other than a clamp-on feedneck seems a step backwards.

Looks just about like an AGD ULE body except for the stovepipe feedneck.

So whats the advantage (reason anyone would buy) of their product over the AGD ULE body ?

To raise the hopper 2.5 inches above the marker ?

Maybe its half the price, that would be an advantage, poor mans ULE ?

Thanks for posting the video, lets us know they dont even own a mag to test their product on.

i am working on something about the feednecks, so i can take care of the feednecks. that's all i can say right now other than it maintains the angel threads, so its a retrofit for older guns and available for newer.

there is nothing about the bodies on their website, a little disconcerting, with just the "press releases" on MCB. i don't know. i love the fact that someone is seeing that the mag community is still alive and wanting to make parts, but why just there on MCB?

Everything is cocker threaded. That's a small plus if you think about options in detents and feednecks.

Props to Gearhead for making these. Not a fan of the feed necks or the plastic covers for them, but the way I see it any company deciding there is enough of a market place to do this is a good thing. Very curious about the price point.
