    Lets just say that he had my Nemesis Cocker there at the same time, and has also done several other guns for me, and it was worth every penny I paid for it to get done. Stephen knows that I will spare no expense when it come to the anno. Enough said. Heres a peak of the Nemesis build he did the anno for:

    Wow!

        Nice. Never particularly care for the direct mount cp asa, looks wise anyway. Regardless, nice start for what should end up looking good.

          looks good but the frame is screaming to have the back tail cut to match the bottom of the rail

            Yeah it would look nice if the frame tail followed the lines up with the rail.

              I will drink a Tequila Sunrise in your honor, the next time I get a chance. I think we all should toast to these MAGS. What foregrip is that on the purple one again?

                That frame is nice, but I don't think it fits the context well. It's a little too long in the front and as others have said, the snatch doesn't work all that well with the rail.

                I would look for the slimmest setup you have that has the frame butting up to the foregrip.

                  Nice work guys! It is always nice to see new automag designs. I can't wait to see someone anodized a body and rail. I think a polished body with a solid color would work great with this design.

                        I like the flow even though it has a blocky feel. I have a question and comment about the top of the body. I'm not sure if it has purpose that I don't know with the half round concave shape, but I wonder why the armada pattern wasn't continued from both sides and verge in the middle of the top portion of the body? Making a "V" from the merging line paths? It would kind of be a ripper blocky hybrid.

                        I would love to a couple if that was possible so I could complete my armada rail.

                          One reason is because I don't have a 4 axis machining center.

                            Oh.....my ignorance with the tooling/machining needed to carry out an idea is shinning through.

                              I can picture what you are thinking and yeah that would have been a really cool, would add to an already awesome look and would add to the price too.

                              Luke, can we get pictures with the straight lpr foregrip versus the curve?
                              Thanks

                                HOLY MOTHER THE COLOR ON THOSE IS SO INCREDIBLE
                                !!!!

                                might i add a twist to the rail/ body design is a sunrise mill job like the rising sun of china/ or is it japan? where it sun burst out both ways instead of the one direction. it is a real nice body and it about time luke pound out a body!!!
