The man with the brass ule body

[Xmagterror]

Thought i would throw a pic of this up here so you guys could see it. I was hired to make a ULE body out of
solid brass for an AO member. Nothing ULE about this bad boy!

Was this an expensive endeavor?

Thanks for posting XMT, looks amazing, can't wait to put it on my mag.

It looks exactly as I had envisioned.

Yes it was kinda expensive. The metal cost 6 times the cost of 7075 aluminum

I would love to see it polished up!

That's neat!

I'm imagining this polished and sitting on a rail made out of mahogany...

What are the plans for the rest of the build?

Eventually, once I get the rest of the parts together, I was going to run some ideas by Roger at precision powder coating to come up with a vintage looking finish on the lowers so that as the brass ages it looks like a custom vintage looking mag. That's just one idea.

Although since XMT brought it up I may go the opposite direction and get the body polished up.

a wooden rail would be tits and polish that body up good ! make that brass shine

[Xmagterror]

I think the old antique look would be pretty sweet. Figure out how to make a wood rail that has aluminum on the critical parts.

[sQuidvision]

Wooden rail! DO THIS! that would be excellent!

If the owner of this still has any money left they should see if luke will do a brass 86* single trigger frame.

Looking forward to a finished marker!!

Wood inset of fancy milling on the rail. Look at old woody type beach rides to get insperation

It would be more gold if it was polished, this one has not been polished:)
