you think he would, seeing as it was your design (no need mention the RTP you got).

Cool view!

I like the first one Tom showed. That is pretty wicked.

How much extra are they going to charge for that? Even more milling = even longer wait till I can afford one. Personaly, I'd rather see one with a little less cosmetic work at a lower price.

Keep in mind that my comment is based on teh fact that I am not a machinist, but rather a computer geek:

why not just do custom ones, where the buyer sends in a graphic image and then it is machined in the side(s). (similar to a laser engraver). Possible?

yea, but expensive is realative, especially when we are already talking about markers that cost the same as a perfectly good used Chevy (or Ford or whatever)! :)

They look great! Now how about some new grips. :)

I don't know if this has been adressed...

Is it possible to mill through the battery pack so that the battery is actually exposed? I think it would look cool to do some sort of spiderweb design with the battery 'blanked out' by a thin sleeve, or just let the battery be visable inside the pack.

I don't know if that makes any sense... but think of a milled cocker body where you can see parts of the internals. Something similar, but with the battery instead.

Don't mind me... 6 hours 'till vacation and my brain isn't working right anymore.

personally my vote is for no one, it matches the body cuts of the extreme better... I wouldnt mind a syin one tho for my sfl... I know i know tom, its all about anno right? Well, is it possible to send one to shock when there completed and have it matched? or better yet heres a good question.

Are these the same pack just milled? or was thickness added to them? if it were posssible, as a retro fit, would we be able to send ours in and have them milled up? or will you release the millpattern codes to a few others so that we may send them in to like one of 3 places and have them done? Everything else is out sourced at agd, i dont see why batterypack milling couldnt be either...

Shirow is on the right path

I love the milled sides of the 3rd one, but the thing that is needed above all else is a milled front and back that makes this battery compartment a little easier to hold on to. The E-Mag can be weilded around pretty easily, but more comfort upfront would be nice. Also, if we are looking at functionality, is it not time to get some grips that don't plain suck? The stock E-Mag grips are crap at best. I would like to see something that is water resistant and has at least two finger grips in the front. I am going to stop at Gander Mountain and see if the Pachmeyer wraps fit on this marker. I think the ones that are for the Glock 23 would prob fit.

Yes, I agree... 1 & 3. But 1 is a sure winner for me.

why arent the trigger frames matching the body?

anyway i like the original extreem cylanderish batter pack.

If you brought that back or put it into design with some of that cool milling on it, and maybe used nickel hydrid power that would be mad cool.

[magman007]

well, that was never an origional thing.. that was something people wanted, but it pretty un feasable, because the tube is hard to attach and detach, plus there just too bog and look doofy. PErsonally i like the square pack, it adds a great, and natural grip, not those little things no thicker than a straw.

AS for the trigger frame, well there isnt much to do with it. Its allready milled down to the thickest it can be and still keep full structural integrity, and the milling may just throw it off.

As for your post, im impressed! no joke, the last 5 or so i read have been clean and thought full! i think im happy to have you here nnow!
