Introducing The Deflator

[luke]

Working on the feedneck prototype, I was going for simple and light weight as possible.
This neck weighs 27g
The Empire weighs 35g
It's as low as you can go with with this type of feed.

I'm liking the simple look of it.

I've had money sitting in my Paypal for months waiting for this to be finished. It's a good thing that my LTC is taking forever to come in.

Is the feedneck threaded into the body so other feednecks can be used ?

[luke]

Yes, it's Angel threaded and two piece like the Empire necks.

looks tall.

[luke]

Really, how so? If you could find one shorter there might be 1/8" difference if your lucky. Making it shorter would only grab less of the hopper neck anyway.

The bottom of the hopper neck sits 0.10" above the top of the body, how would your propose a shorter neck or a lower hopper? lol

[BLachance75]

I think that it may look tall due to the Halo on it.

[luke]

Tall is relative.
The profile of this is smaller than the Empire fn shown here and about 1/16" taller.

[BLachance75]

I don't have an issue with it, I like how it sits on the body. I was just pointing out that the shape of the Halo makes it look like like the hopper is sitting high up. Something like a Rotor or Spire that have a flat bottom would show that it isn't sitting high up.

I wasn't responding to your post, I was in the middle of posting when yours went up.

ribbing you.

oh and you should do your own design orientation.
don't copy

another rib

[luke]

You're such a funny boy.

Yea, the straight lines probably adds to the illusion of greater height compared to what we usually see. I like it, looks clean and sturdy

Gun makes that Halo look huge!

LOL, Did that on purpose because of the previous comments about how big the body looked.
