As would I!

That is so sick man.

[FordPrefect]

That is REALLY original. What is on the body rail? And how did you get that coloring so detailed, I mean what is it, powdercoating, annos, what?

The dragon theme doesn't appeal to me, but the quality looks just great!

[StuDawggie]

The Dragon theme, isn't really my thing, but that just looks so sweet.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The dragon sleeve took me around 20 hours of work, but I think the next one would be a little quicker. I started with a pair of the squarish sight rails. The front one I cut to slide past the powerfeed, then I just carved away at it until I was happy with it.

The sight rails cost $10 each, so $20 in parts. It's not too difficult to cut them to fit. Almost anyone could do it. At $20 for the pair they are cheap enough to experiment with and they are aluminum so they could be annodized.

I charge $60-$140 including parts, this design would be on the high end of that range. Anyone interested should pm or e-mail me so we can discuss details. I don't really like to talk too much about price in the forums.

The body rail and foregrip are pieces I did a while ago. They were annodized black when I got them. I used a ball peen hammer and a punch to create the dimpled surface. Then I sanded and polished them to remove the anno from the raised surface. The black is the anno that was left in the dimples. I don't think I will be doing any more pieces in that manner because I found out how to replicate the hammered look with a Dremel. It is much safer and faster that way. I think I know how to duplicate this finish but I don't have annodizing equipment yet so I can't do it myself.

This is a beautiful piece of artwork...it I had the $$ I would invest in minutes...but sadly my pocket $$ is dwindling quicker than I can make it...

but keep up the awesome, beautiful work man!

You get a thumbs up from me...

Yeah, I like it a lot! The thing is, I just told Tyson a vauge idea of what I wanted and he came up with the whole design!

Yeah, dragons aren't many people's thing, but I really wanted something to seperate my mag from everyone else's. After hearing some guy go on for three hours extolling the virtues of his dragon timmy, I figured I'd try to find someone who could give me a real dragon mag, not just some screw on spikes! Tyson's name came up and here we are with a finished product! The mail in my area takes a bit longer then normal, but it should be arriving on monday. I'll be able to get the sapphires in the eyes quickly and snap some pics if I can borrow my works' digital camera.

That is pretty cool. It reminds me of the bad guys' laserguns from "Starcrash" though. You would never want to trip and fall on your gun.

Those guns had more spikes than a morning star. Ouch.

I'm not sure at this point. If I do anything I'm leaning toward plating it actually. I'm leaning toword nickle or copper at this point. I kinda like the idea of a copper plate and a clear coat.

A work of art.
