    New UL Frame specifically for Automags?

    Ok, so I have seen multiple posts of Mags with DYE UL frames. They look great, and there seems to be an interest. Would any of the powers that be in Mag Airsmithdome be interested in making a UL style frame that would be Mag specific? I love the frames that are currently offered, but would love the option of a more swoopy, aesthetically pleasing frame similar to a UL style. Anyone else be up for this if we could get it done?

    I 2nd this. I can't think of a single one of our house machinists that doesn't already have a full plate, but a UL style frame that took UL style grips would be okay USA in my book.

        Basically I like what is out there, but think it would be interesting to bring something to the market that is a little more "swoopy".

          Defiantly something I will consider after I get bodies in production. Just tying up loose ends after the oltr project.

            Think that would be great. Maybe even better if it can be designed as to be able to take the OLTR... Take into consideration the LPR foregrip width and design a custom length frame so everything ties in together without gaps or overhangs. ....

                I would like to see a frame that uses an internal air line that feeds into a newly designed rail that has an external port we can put a macro fitting in and only require a short macro run. No more need of long ugly macro runs or feeding it into the foregrip. Really bring it into the 21st without redesigning the valve.

                  That rail would be very expensive and the internal air would cause potential leaking problems.

                    Bodies? Just when i thought my OLTR mag was complete. Any pics or drawings of said bodies?

                    The full Luke mag is coming, are you redesigning valves as well?

                        Actually all the new guns are using internal now because it doesn't cause any more leaks as macro fittings. You just need 1 o-ring at the base where the frame meets the asa and at the top where it meets the rail.

                          they also don't require high pressure at a really high flow rate. bob long guns have issues with blowing frame orings at 550 psi from what i have heard.

                            I think that might be a bob long thing. I've run an axe and a dm15 on an 800psi tank and haven't had any issues

                              ???

                              And then you need macro fitting anyways to feed the mag valve anyways. I guess you could feed the valve via banjo bolt (because RT banjo bolts never have leaking problems).

                              Easiest & most reliable way to get air is just the stainless braided line from the ASA to the valve. Maybe add some heat shrink and inline QD if needed.
