New Proto Gun Body Need Your Design Help!!!

[clanger]

Tom I like mags looks lots but this one looks wierd!!! Here is some input onto what I would think would make the new proto-type look better. A more boxy look to the gun. I know this may make it look different then usual mags but I really think that a more boxy look to the gun would make the mag that much more attractable. Maybe a way to slide the bolt into place and still be able to visibly see the Rt-Valve logo and stuff. This would be a plus and a complete overhaul of the body of the gun!!! And I think it would look sick. Also try not to use the current milling. It looks like you put tiger teeth on the things side!!

WOW!

Now thats what im talkin about! way to go Miscue.

Ok guys here is a plain version, cut it up yourself. I also shortened the highrise.

Here is one with a low rise integrated sight rail. This one we might be able to make as a one piece body.

Here is another with a longer integrated sight rail. This to me has a completely different look.

Tom, wanna go check out my sketch at the thread named "I'm pullin a dave!"?

definitely leave it blank. milling is such a matter of personal taste. it'll be impossible to find something with universal appeal. we're all used to the tube look. many of us actually like the tube look. it's "clean" looking. functional. sleek. leaving it smooth without the milling gives us some of that feeling and still looks different and new.

not much but here's my idea that I did on paint with 3 prongs on back, I had editing software that was remotely decent so that it wouldnt look like a 3rd grader did it. I have other ideas but after trying them on paint they weren't coming out the way I wanted them to. Anyway, I tried..it's just a plain body, couldn't do any milling examples on paint that didnt look any better than drawing them on with a crayon

Here's my photoshop file... if you want to mess with it.

Actually, I think the plain with the longer sight rail looks the best. Looks original, yet classic.

Definitely the last design with the longer integrated sight rail, that is sweet. Maybe just add interchangeble breeches like the extreme so people can use their warp feeds on it.

Tom, I love where your going with this one. The looks need some work, though I don't know what. Maybe keep the sides flat with a slight lip over the rail, then round the top and keep it the same size from the valve to the feed tube, then have a slight downward curve to it. I'd love too see one with a side feed (like the European extreme) for a Warp.

Anyway it works out, this would be an awsome bolt on replacement for an Emag, or RT Pro body.

Nevermind, I just saw the ones Miscue did, They look perfect, cept need that side feed.

I have been waiting for the chance to buy a body like this for my RT mag, mind you I have worthless programs for editing so this is ballpark. I would also love this in chrome.

btw the lines on the side of the warp hose are because it's interchangable with a vert feed?

Chrome is kinda hard, but here's a shot.

oooooooooo I like it, checks in the mail.

I have to say though, I hope it'll be made for mag barrels, I hate the idea of a mag with cocker barrels. I think that's worthless stick to what has been working for automag for years, I like swithing barrels in a couple of quick easy moves. I think others will agree...
