Hybrid RTP Rails

Can the Ultra Mini 3 be made to AM/MM length? I would love to do this rail with a foregrip slot

That's sort of what I was trying to do as well with the Deco Rail... I like the whole 'forget the foregrip' for most of my builds, but sometimes you want at least an AM/MM length mount. I have been pondering alternatives to the usual mount though too. I'm thinking Lego Technic... a slim, maybe 1/2" wide hunk of metal with cross drilled holes to run holes through like some actual gun rails. The only downside is that then the mounting hardware is exposed on the sides. Still, maybe an 'add on' was my first thought. Instead of changing the rail, drill & tap a hole in the existing rail on its front... sort of like a smaller version of a banjo bolt on an Autococker. Then make up some new grips that slide around the front and bolt on there.

I mean, overall, unless you have some rare VD foregrip, a DW CF, or one of Lc's tube foregrips, the selection of foregrips for Automags just plain sucks. Not that you really need a lot for a foregrip besides a pipe with a flange at one end, but there is a lot of potential there that usually goes overlooked.

I feel like this rail would look pretty killer on a galactic z body...

Damn, good call.

Do you think much else would be different? I tried to make it all 'squared off' with all the angles I once had replaced with 1/8" fillets. I didn't put the cross drilled holes on either.

No major changes, just enough to machine the rail so it doesn't exceed two setups.

l have a Z2 that is in search of a rail.

Rails are now in stock.

Those Armada rails are very nice looking, when are those going to be available?? Will you have them up on your site?

[luke]

All rails are currently in stock. http://lukescustoms.com/lukes-rt-pro-rails.html

Dang, I like the one I just got off you but wish I had waited for this one. Do you have any design concepts for the body?

I'm pretty sure these were available when you purchased the Wave rail. You purchased an Automag rail, these are RTP rails (Different sears and sear pins) you were shopping on two different pages on my website.


This is AO's Maverick Armada build. Only 4 Armada bodies have been made.

Shame on me for not looking then, with them being RTP rails and coming with different sears and pins, is there anything else that will be different?? Or that I would need to do different?

They don't come with replacement sears only new sear pins since the pins are different from the factory pins. The rails will fit all RTP and AM style bodies, Classic, ReTro and X Valves, and RTP foregrips/ASA's

[hillg]

Do you have other bodys coming out other then the Armada?

[luke]

Sure, but the project is not currently being worked on. The plan is to do a large run of slug bodies, finished bodies will follow. The first body will likely be an Armada body because there are a few guys waiting on them. No hard plans past that but the key to any new body design is slug bodies.

Anyone interested in a Hybrid Slimline rail? I have a customer that just ordered one so if your interested LMK. I'll be making them this week.
I dont have current plans to stock the Slimline rail.

Darn it, Luke, I just ordered 2 of your automag rails for my current builds, I'm on the fence about getting a hybrid rail or 2 for future projects, now you have this styling. Why for do you like tempting us!?!??!? [emoji23]
