Hybrid RTP Rails

[luke]

Hoping to grab one of these in AM Length, Epsilon style.

No problem. I just designed one but need to add the ULE milling. I'll post a screen shot of the CAD when it's done.

Im thinking minimalist... rear valve channel isnt needed. Foregrip isnt needed. Just mill it down to just whats in the box...[ATTACH=CONFIG]100029[/ATTACH]

Not gonna lie, at a first I thought there'd be no use for this design then I saw the EP block I have sitting waiting for a stock rail for me to hack up and a pistol mag I've been wanting to do and then thought never mind.

That's easy...

That's a easy redesign, we can completely remove the center pop out around the sear, just run the same width front to back, like a dog bone.

Whats the point of the threadless sear pin ?
To be able to better symmetrically mill both sides of the rail ?

Sear pins dictate rail design and even some bodies, all design concepts revolve around it, even the classic AM rail. Form follows function so there's no way around it.

The ability to run a 5/8" long sear pin removes a great deal of design limitations.
It also allows me to narrow the thickness of the RTP rail down to the size of a classic Automag rail. The factory RTP rail is thicker to make room for the threaded sear pin.

Also, I think the best looking rail designs are done on the AM rail, the thinner rail just looks nicer IMO.

Heres the eclipse rail, right?

I have an eclipse mag that i can put up photos of later for ya... or I could send you to measure up.

I have some design ideas... mostly stuff like an even narrower logic alpha, and a rail that is windowed.

Something like this is what im lookin for:

How about doing a homage to the old eclipse style of milling to mag rails. A Lukes custom version of something done years ago might be interesting.

The ones I've seen just have some notches on the back end of the rail, really nothing special, at least to me.

Ahhhh gotcha pretty cool to see a comeback of some of your rails, I'm curious about your new designs

Sooooooo when's the am length karta rail coming?

I would need the CAD file and permission from the owner to do them.

Also does the pin slide in similar to a micro mags?

Not sure, this is just an 1/8" hole drilled all the way through the rail.
