      Are you able to do one piece bodies?

        Doubtful. I do not know the machinery that Luke uses, but i will assume that they are manual machines. Plus the body and rail dictate that. A unibody would require a CnC machine.

          Yes. And have plans to make them, just have to get the first prototype done. Once I prove (to myself) I can machine the deep counter bores on the VMC sky's the limit.

            Already stated I'm making these on a VMC.

            A one piece body is no more difficult than a standard one.

                  I would need to work stuff out with luke first of course.

                    No, clue on machine names. VMC could stand for "Virginia Military Catapult" or "virtual modified cup". I try to follow various machine threads, but i just don't know enough to follow much. I just onow that when things spin, keep fingers, hands and loose clothing away crom it. Would love to but haven't the time nor the deep interest in diving into them no offense intended. Which is why i said, "assuming", cause sometimes i get things wrong...

                      Vertical milling centre
                      It's not easy doing the internal features on the mill,
                      The bores are far more easier to do on a lathe but there is some decent tooling available for the mill, a decent u-drill and boring head works wonders
                      You should pop iron sights on the top, looks like a colt body I started to knock up a while back

                        I've redesigned the harder to machine areas to make it doable on a mill.

                          Still looking for a small detail to machine in the sides of the LPR-FG, something that would complement the side milling of the body. I tried a bunch of stuff but nothing I really liked...

                            I like it. Big fan of super clean look.

                            Can existing LPR-FG be milled to new ULE design?

                              Probably not, the areas that would get milled on this would have been removed already or at least slimmed down on the others. Even the ULE on this pack will be minimal, the hope would be to get it in the same range as the others.

                                emag Bpack style lpr forgrip is nice.
                                I like the look. should try to make it a 3 piece like the packs.
