    VL for grip? picture needed?

    Can someone shoot me a picture of the longer of the 2 VL for grips from the bottom? Are they hollowed out or more solid? I have a project. And they are the size and look I'm going for. But hollow or not is the catch?

    I had one that looked like this:

    There is a hole in the bottom, but I am unsure of the depth and diameter of the hole.
    Thanks,
    Jason

      That's the one I'm needing to know about. Rough Diameter and depth are what I'd be after.

          CRAP! Thats what i was afraid of. Hollowed out. I was hopeing against hope that it wasnt that hollowed. Let me think about that bunny. And how much work it will be to sleeve it. Why did you have to buy a bunch? You project looks great BTW.

                Might help to know what you're looking to do. I needed a solid gas through as I plan to cut it and retap the bottom, basically making it a very short gas through. I bought one of the PTP ones thinking it would work, but they are hollow and what they do is thread the bottom of the non-gas throughs and then put a lug in there that has an NPT hole in the middle. I can throw up a pic if you need.

                  I'm wanting a gas through like the one in the second pic. Then I want to plug the bottom and rout the air fitting out the back. Also plan on turning the front of my rail in to a gas through rail.

                    The VL? Or the second Pic in the PTP link? Here is a pic of the bottom of the PTP gas thru:

                      I'm looking for the rough look and size of the above picture. 4.5-4 3/4 tall. And 1 1/4 give or take diameter on handle area.

                      Working on getting on MCB now to send that guy a pm. The question through me off.

                        Thanks. Finally pushed me to make an account over there and send a pm. I hope he is one of the obsessed guys that stays up on PMs. My wife would love to have this functioning next weekend.

                          If that is the bottom of the pro team grip. Is it just a VL grip with a ported plug? That's kinda how your image looks? If so I'm still in the same place I was this morning. Haha.

                          CRAP! Nm. You already answered that question. Hmmmm I'm back to using the vl gas through as a sleeve. Not really wanting a volume chamber in there. We will see.

                            Ask for one of the mini's on the right. I have one of those that I got from Sk8ter and they are a gas through and solid. All it would take is tapping the back and plugging the bottom.

                              My problem is I want the phisical size. Length and diameter of the large VL / PTP forgrip. Since I need an arms on elbow. And a 45 fitting anyways. If she gets back to me I'll just buy it all. Make due as is for this weekend. Then do what's needed to it after the weekend.

                              So if you have said items. I'd just pp you the cash now lol. As I posted over there. Color really doesn't matter. Its gonna get painted with auto paint in a few weeks anyways.
