    Empire feedneck threading is ICD threading .810 i believe.

    Also, look at availability. Ccm feednecks suck. Huge, no lever and cor what they are, they are poorer to what is available. Empire, not only have them now, and you can get them just about everywhere.

    The nub/stub/tit, whatever you can it, IS better. You can't crossthread it, it is stronger and i believe easier to machine.

    Allen, Simon designed that feedneck & i am going to tell him that you don't like it. Expect your next ID purchase to have a gratuity added in on it

    And if you don't like that feedneck, send it to me, i love them. Even better that it is clear/unanno'd. Seriously, i will take it.

      I can draw up a feed neck if that helps?

        I don't really mind axe feednecks, but anything that is available in Europe and has low profile options and clamping would work for me.

          1) Simon is making autococker stuff now which I wont be buying.

          2) If Jay does Angel or Empire threading the Empire feednecks will still work (and so will the Violent low pros), but the way the body is pictured the Empire feedneck is the ONLY one that will work.

          Threads offer more options....

            not sure if i would pick one of these up personally, but i think having a threaded feedneck with an adapter to whatever direct mount feedneck people wanted would be a better option.

            make it angel threaded and an option to buy when the bodies are sold. release the rest after the bodies have been sold so that others can do what they want with them. i like the ccm necks because they don't have a lot of milling they work and are easily replaced if need be. when the band breaks or cross threads its cheap to replace instead of replacing the whole thing.

                Im thinking the production bodies will just be threaded and we can make an adapter on the lathe to use empire or whatever feednecks. the empire mount is very delicate when polishing the body anyways.

                  I would be perfectly happy getting away from the Angel feedneck. When I sourced mine from the ule rt classics you did CCM made mention that they didn't have a whole lot left and that my options were limited.

                  WDP hasn't existed for 6 years, there's only NOS left. Plus those Angel threads are thin and I'm always surprised don't get stripped more. I know I haven't heard of issues of body damage due to a hard drop on the feedbeck, but there's something that seems structurally stronger if the feedneck is attached at a piece that's part of the body instead of screwed into the body.

                  Detents I totally get why to stick with Angel. Detents are the source of all sorts of feed problems and the engineering and field testing has validated Angel detents in mags, any other change you risk shipping a product that may have an engineering flaw that feeds poorly from the start. You don't have much choice in that area.

                    Glad you like it. You have been pumping out a lot of awesome automag parts over the years and I feel like you deserve it. You and Lukes Customs come to mind when I think of custom automag parts and feel like you guys deserve to be different from the crowd. Keep up the great work!!

                      Some may not be familiar with Empire feednecks, and I didnt show before that its a two piece feedneck.

                      They will clamp onto the body Jay has made as pictured but they also come with a threaded piece they can clamp onto after its threaded into the body.

                      Personally I use either an Empire Nano feedneck or Violent feedneck which is basically the same as the Nano (these two are one piece, not two piece like the ones pictured).

                      And I have found that the ICD threads are virtually the same as Angel threads.

                      They will thread right onto a ULE body with no problems.

                      However because they are low profile, the Chord and Tac body, (and others) arent milled flat enough around the feedneck to allow using them.

                            I'm confused on the foregrip thing. Will this accept other grips or only specially made ones?

                              hopefully he makes it like the shockwave foregrip adapter plates

                                I hope so because not only do I need to purchase a few of these new bodies, but my shockwaves is needing a plate
