One Legged T-Rex (OLTR)

I just watched the vids you made and they made me grin from ear to ear.:-)
Looking sweet.

The first machining I ever did was I ULE milled my AM rail, this was my second, its an RTP rail.

[flampaint]

nice! getting more anctious about this by the day.
I like the rail on your test-mag btw. Is that one of yours? (aplogies for the OT)

I like that trigger the best of your 3 options.

When do you get time to restore old vehicles ?

Assuming this will fit an Intelliframe at some point I'm in! Put me down for 1 please.

See post #153 page 6.

I haven't read through the whole thread yet so forgive me if I've missed something... But PLEASE ADD ME TO THE LIST!

*EDIT* Ok. Now I've read the whole thread... No change to my preliminary sentiment. */EDIT*

Is there a trigger stop in that trigger? Looks like there is a lot of over travel. How adjustable will this be ?

TBH I really haven't tried to dial these in real tight, I was more concerned about basic function over ridge fine tuning. I did do some more tests after you ask about it and was able to remove a bunch to travel with the lower set screw, actually the screw wasn't long enough, I could have taken more out.

I'll spend more time on that as I start to dial these in.

Agreed 100%, me too.

However the internals are not a huge secret nothing magical there. The big deal is the attitude of the guy demanding to see then throwing a temper tantrum when he didn't get his way. I don't feel I'm under any obligation to share anything I don't want to. Actually the post was no big surprise, if anything I got a little laugh out of it.

WEAK!!! how come no pics of tha internals. post up sum 3D pics of tha internals like ya do w/ur other parts.

As much as I would love to see whats going on I would advise Luke not to post pictures of the internals. Atleast until they are selling. Which then at some point a buyer is gonna take one apart and show everyone.

The reason is simple. There are people like me out there that can reverse engineer from a picture to a very good degree. Now unlike myself some will not have the decency to not reverse engineer it. I know lukes put alot of time into this and I would hate to see anyones design copied. Having your design copied is NOT flattering its a violation.

Fyi for anyone: Never post a straight picture/rendering of your design. Especially before you make it. Always have it skewed. Wont stop someone but makes it alot more difficult.

Here are a few more tests, just to show what I'm seeing and where the project is at testing wise, I don't think its a final design.

My camera batteries were low so I wasn't picky on the video I kept, they died after the last test so this is it for now.

Retro Valve with 0.74" on/off pin>


Retro Valve #2 with 0.75" on/off pin. 40 psi to OLTR. Full RT effect, I cuffed a few times but didn't have the camera batter to re shoot.


Retro Valve #2 0.75" on/off pin about 43-44 psi boarder line full RT which my lazy finger like.

Yep....definitely exciting stuff!

[luke]

All the adjustment is in the trigger (Two stops) so its completely adjustable in that regard.
The valve stem has a travel distance of 0.04" and has an internal stop so the valve can't bottom out.
This frame has the magnets at the top stop so I didn't bother playing with the set screws.
If you look closely at the video you will see that the trigger is not hitting the back of the guard so the travel is shorter than it looks.

The wall thickness is 0.08" on the Mini Vert.
The wall thickness on the Intelli is 0.09".

no I mean from inside to outside
