Front, back, top, bottom? It's easy to get side pix. But I swear nobody has ever posted the others on the internet. If ya want to throw in each side thanks. But them are obtainable elsewhere.

any reason why? -
Ha-ha. Yah. I've always wanted a micromag style mag with a few tweeks that I can't do with a micromag body. Luke's new body is getting pretty close to what I really invision. But it dawned on me that a tac-1 body clamped to a rail while milling might get me what I'm after. And at a cheaper price. And then maybe not. But since I haven't got access to a body without buying one. And can't find pictures. Figured I'd ask.
Was gonna pick up the 2 micros from Canada. But discovered a bird issue in my garage yesterday so I had to back out. Now I'm 200 bux in to solving my bird problem. And hope I don't have to spend more.
Also. Depending how it all goes I may try and buy a slug off Luke instead of a full finished body. Only time will tell. But I'm sure keeping up with Luke's prototype thread.Comment

i think sk8ermog would have some insight into this; or at least a milled "square" looking body (if that's what you're after). i think he did just what you're thinking; milled a tac-1 body. here's his armory post, scroll down to see it.Comment

If I don't get a bite with pics in the next day or so I will PM him. If that was a TAC it looks like I may be able to pull off what I want to do with a TAC body. A rail. And a mill. Thanks a bunch for what you could give.Comment

Not wanting to do any sculpting really. I'm wanting something in the realm of a 96 autococker that went thru a mill. Angled Gill slots around the air valve. The back only having a fitting slot where it is needed on a single side for the air valve. Nothing much. I could probably dig and find some ancient autococker pics. As I stated in your thread. You have a real close rendering of what my ideal mag is. And purchasing one of your bodies is in the forefront of my mind.Comment

You wont get there with a Tac body...Comment

When you milled off the back slots did it eliminate the AL that covered the valve on the left side? If so you are correct and your body is still the closest thing I can get to what I invision as my perfect mag.Comment

Then you are 100%correct. This won't do what I would love to have. And your unibody is still my closest. May have to PM ya.....Comment

You only have an air fitting on one side of a valve. The OE TAC bodies actually will only allow for a right side air fitting. Ideally I'd rather a left side air fitting. But all in all if I could have got it to work with a right side I would have been happy.Comment

I had my machinist try to mill out the left side of a tac body to match the right side (to use a reverse valve). Even with a fine bit on high speed taking super light passes, the body cracked along the line in the top. The material there is just super thin. So we ended up just cutting off the entire back of the body.
Live and learn. Don't try to shape tac bodies.Comment
