Hey TOM K and every one else

[confedman75]

i was wondering the c and c x-mag is milled to look good right? couldnt you mill the hell out of an xmag and make a realy realy small and light gun(not to mention ugly)? would a machine shop be able to do it, safely and accurately ?

Edit added c and c

[HoppysMag]

thats the purpose of the "Slugg-O" bodys... so you can havem milled the way you want...

[Muzikman]

The C&C is already pretty light, but Manike proved that you can make it ligher. I doubt any machine shot is going to be able to do anything with it really. There is not a lot of meat to take off, and one mistake would ruin the gun.

[petefol]

keep in mind you would also have to leave in enough material to maintain the structural strength of the body.

you could mill off the top of the XMag where the sight rail usually goes, that would take off some weight...maybe 1-2oz

Yes you could make something even smaller and lighter. I even started modelling it. Wouldn't look so sweeping but form may prevail over function and from what I was doing, it wouldn't be that ugly.

It would look like some tubes filleted together and milled out all over.

The one I am working on for myself is lighter than the C&C, it's about 5.25 ounces. I expect I could bring a body down to about 4 ounces... Stock extreme body is 11.25 ounces.

if oyu look in manike's sig, you can see the CAD file(or part of it) for HIS Mag

[confedman75]

it looks the same as a cut and carved.

[petefol]

not the cut and carved in his sig, look behind it. theres a body that looks like it has X's down the side.

[magman007]

manike.. lest do this comparison, how ugly would it be compared to your bushmaster?? just playing man, i cant wait to see your body.. you know, i may just have to pay that 20,000 pricetag of yours..... it looks really really sweet....

I cant wait to see your new model also!

[confedman75]

dang that looks good once in comes in red(that matches the rest of the xmag) ill buy it.

[davidb]

Boy I envy a guy that can burn 20K on an impulse buy like that.

dang that looks good once in comes in red(that matches the rest of the xmag) ill buy it.

[Kevmaster]

Confedman, thats not a production CnC Emag...you cant get one. its a special for Manike

Im not one to push away new ideas or trying out new things, but is it really that important to shave off 5 oz from a body? R those 5 oz really gonna make ur arms fall off?

Probably not... but when you're whipping out from behind a bunker your marker is 5 oz lighter, you can move that much quicker...

that... and it looks so fricking sweet!
