The man with the brass ule body

[debruynda]

too bad it didn't come out nicer.
i need 3 of these.
and then 3 brass barrels and 3 brass xvalves.

seriously how cool

I think it is very cool and am grateful XMT decided to undertake the project for me with the other ule bodies

How about doing a brass pirate build, you might be able to have a classic valve powder coated to match.

The other thing I was thinking about was going for one of the custom "Palmer-like" finishes where they polish the brass then tape it off in a tiger stripe pattern and bead blast it so that the finish is multi-textured.

Looks awesome, nice work and a fun idea for building upper body strength!

points to you for being different, all about that. there is something about standing out and everyone being jealous.

but, brass, i am not a fan. granted, it has more to do with MCB crowd, but its heavier than aluminium, softer than it too. it can get to a nice patina but for the price, i just don't get it. but more power to you, if you want to make a mag heavier.

Very nice. I would like a copper body but I am sure it would be stupid money.

Thanks?

hey, what i say doesn't matter. you asked for it, you paid for it and hopefully your happy with it. what i say doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. so be happy with what you have and tell me to shut up.

Jay, That isnt a ULE body. Its UHE (Ultra Heavy Engineering) Body.

[SoulCoffin]

now im curious... what is the weight difference?

[cougar20th]

The weight of 1 cubic inch of aluminum is approx 0.10 pounds.
The weight of 1 cubic inch of Brass is approx 0.31 pounds.

So the body is approx 3X heavier then a aluminum one.

Haha....the body is approx 7oz.

I think its really awesome looking. A copper body would be sweet...I think I would just have that plated though.

Someone send me a solid bar of gold and I will make you a ule body
Out of it for free if I can have the chips.lol

[debruynda]

I guess to the weight issue, I'll comment: I must be the only one who remembers running around a paintball field with a bob long autococker with brass palmers front end pneumatics, dye generation one stainless, with a unireg and air america 114. Pretty sure this body will weigh less or slightly more than the 12" generation one dye barrel alone.

Three times the weight of one of XMT's ule aluminum bodies is what? Not much in comparison to the above, especially with a ule milled rail and aluminum grip frame. So, it's all a matter of taste, to which there need be no justification since it's hard to account for

I'm not going to tell you to shut up I don't know you so I honestly couldn't tell if you were giving me some sort of back-handed compliment, either way, it's cool.
