One Legged T-Rex (OLTR)

[Ailia]

Okay luke... just damn. Just got mine aired up, blew my expectations away.

Barkingspyder your in mail box is full.

To answer your question, the trigger pin is a non machined part. It's a standard 1/8" dowel pin, 3/4" long. It just slides into the front of the OLTR no problem tuning it to your preference.

To put it bluntly, retro fitting sucks. I would rater just machine a new frame designed with a proper fit.

Agreed, but doing the best that can be done with existing frames just means more OLTRs out in the wild. Particularly, as you have said yourself, existing inventory(ies) must be sold through before "a new frame designed with a proper fit" can (will) be made. In the case of frames other than yours (which can/might eventually get the proper redesign), the retrofit might be the only solution ever. If that is the case, a little extra time up front could pay off with more volume in units sold over the long haul.

I guess it comes down to how many OLTRs you're looking to sell individually versus using the OLTR as more of a special value-add to your own stuff. No right or wrong answer; just choices, like most things in life.

Of course, with the KAM M86 runs being as small as they are (and fairly frequent as of late), making a "rev.2" with a mounting tab machined in might be a not so painful endeavor from a design-production-sales perspective once the OLTR is finalized.

I got my gun back today and couldn't resist airing it up with my almost empty tank. I only had about 700psi left but I still put it on and let it rip. All I can say is that I love it. I filled my tanks on my way to work so tomorrow morning before work I should be able to really shoot it and take a video.

Looks great, can't wait to shoot it with the warp!

I'm sure there are other ways to do it, it's all about cost and what people are willing to pay, this is the cheapest solution and easiest to machine.

Luke, I took a look at the render drawing of this frame after seeing how you created the mounting tab for the OLTR.

Could you maybe make the mounting tab "adapter" an L-shaped part to hang off one or both of the top two open holes in the mounting plate, secured by a single screw in the top most completely closed hole? It would put the mounting tab adapter no further down the frame than roughly the barb fitting on the OLTR (I think?) and get that bottom most chunk of metal on the adapter out of the way to get the sleeper LPR enough room to fit? (Would maybe even shave a few grams off the weight of the adapter? )

I completed and tested my first Cougar M86 build, it works great. No way to run the hidden reg on a retro fit though. Should be plenty of room if the frame had a build in mounting tab though.

I posted the other thread to get peoples attention. If you had read the first post in the thread there would have been no confusion.

I just figured you would have posted on here. I saw the last thread earlier today but it was talking about your front grip lpr's so I was confused.

[luke]

Hmmm, I had offered to get one to test when you said you were starting the first run. Never saw anything about how to purchase one.

Sorry.
As stated above I had a thread up for a week, closed it about two hours ago as of the final payment for the number I had available.
I don't send out PM's to those that express interest in products, never have, just don't have that kind of extra time.
Chance of another small run looks doable.

[gotzskillz]

Well that's kinda beat-up. I had this thread followed so I could get one since I offered to purchase one of the first run ones. I don't have a lot of time to search forums.

[BLachance75]

There was a different thread that he started over a week ago soliciting people who were interested.

[luke]

So am I still able to get one and have my intelli milled?

Phase one is closed, sorry. Currently working on wrapping it up.
