What if you made the foregrip shorter, and a little thicker?

Granted might be tough since it's not too long lol, just an idea though

The foregrip is actually a low pressure regulator to run the T-Rex.

Yea I know, just not sure how much of the internal space is taken up

[luke]

The LPR-FG has very limited space for external design using the slugs I currently have in stock. The Deflator FG couldn't be much smaller or thicker than what you see in the pictures here. I have a bunch of these in stock so no chance any time soon to do start over with a new design.

[BiNumber3]

No problem at all, your body design just reminded me of the old movie pistols

[luke]

With that, what does the weight of the body, in comparison to a ULE?

Final weights are in:

AGD ULE Body with custom milled rail (exterior and ULEd) no feedneck 6.3 ounces
XMT Minimag body and RTP Armada Rail (full ule with fg slot) no feed neck 7.9 ounces
Deflator UNI body with necessary components (length is 8.7" long), no feed neck 9.3 ounces.

You keep teasing us with these posts, you're killing me. I keep hoping to see a post that says "bodies are ready for sale"

Lots of changes, up dates to all the parts, machining test runs, tweaks and such going on behind the scenes. I just want to get it dialed in before I release it. I do have a completed body, detent and various parts as of yesterday that is worthy of testing. Today I have a few minutes of machining to do, I have to assemble the LPR, t-rex etc for testing. I also need to design and machine the feed neck before I put paint thru it. I think that will go quick.

I did say that the last pictures of the Deflator was the final but I did more changes that were bugging me. I re-positioned and resized the side details so they sit symmetrically on the machined body. Added more ULE cuts, changed the valve area to a "swoop cut" instead of a flat angled profile, added a slightly heavier radius around the front of the body, and changed the chamfer to a round over cut. All minor stuff but lots of programing. Also machined a new spring cup because I changed the internal profile of the body so I needed a new one for testing. Completely redesigned the V1 detent which affects the body milling, that's done and looks like it will be the final design, just need to test the parts and prove the design.

If I had a feedneck that fit the body I would at least chrono the body and put a few rounds thru it but I dont have one that fits properly so I'll have to get one made before I do any real testing.

I'd love to offer to test. But I can't start throwing money down till the first of April. All funds have been ate for March due to bird issues at my house. I'd love to see the new design pics.... Hint hint.

[luke]

I'll get some pictures up later but the changes are so minor most people wouldn't pick up on the changes.

Does the Xvalve get scratched up going in and out of that body ?

Looks pretty tight.
