      Tom- The Sluggo body arrived on Saturday, thank you. I have some definite plans, though the badboy really makes me wish for a good CNC.

      First data though, it's my opinion that, it really should have both "sight rail" meat and a valve/reg "overhang" a'la the SFL. Second, the "lug" at the bottom for the forward retaining screw should actually be milled rectangular, as it allows some "play" on standard 'Mag rails (though I'm aware they need to be round for E-Mag and RT frames.)

      Unfortunately it caught me at a bad time, as I'm kinda busy with both shopwork and a few personal projects, so I don't know how fast I can have results, but I'll see what I can do.

      Just out of curiosity, are these extrusions or 1.250" round barstock appropriately machined?

      RP- it looks like I'll have an extra for wild experimental purposes, though I'm still game if you are. I have a smattering of 'Mag spares, anyone have a standard AIR valve they want to sell for a fair price?

      Doc.

        Tom
        I recieved my slug on friday,Thank you.
        Ive already got all the parts to finish
        it, and a real good idea of what I'm
        going to do to it. BTW mine will be done
        in strictly MANUAL mode, Since I have a
        Bridgeport in the basement, and access
        to a lathe. Look's to me like it's going
        to be a race, to see who can finish one
        first.

        I'll probably start cutting tommorow.
        Also I'm working on doing a no-rise.

          BTW can anyone verify for me,
          that the cocker ball detent
          is a 3/8-24 thread.
          I measured it at work tonight,
          but want to be sure so I don't
          mess the whole thing up with the
          wrong thread.
          I think I'm going to call it,
          The FE-Mag.
          Anybody else post pic's if you can,
          I'll have to borrow a digi. to get
          pic's of mine, but I'll try.

            I just recieved my body, now to develop some drawings for it. Being able to hold onto the body is a definate plus.

                  Yes, the 'Cocker detent is 3/8"-24, same as the pre-2K front block screw. You'll have to counterbore a little to get the detent "deep" enough, though an Angel detent fits the body thickness a little better.

                  And don't worry about a race- I have three 'Cockers, an Impulse, a Shocker, about six dozen little projects and the front suspension of a car ahead of Sluggo milling.
                  It's gonna be the end of next week at least before I can even start.

                    Doc,

                    Yes we are going to extend the back in the next run. They are machined from solid stock.

                      wild experimental purposes! woohoo! I am game! (shoot me an email or PM, I probably have some mag stuff for ya, (still need my SC sniper milled)) - oh yea, there was a bit of mixup with my order so it didn't get out a couple weeks ago as anticipated (as posted on teh guild), but rest assured, you will have these shortly after I get them.

                        Well Tom and all AO'ers, as of 3:15P.M. C.S.T.
                        my slug bodie is 95% complete. I'm just waiting
                        to get my modified NW Paintball feed neck back
                        from my brother, He's cutting it down and
                        rethreading it as a No-Rise. Should have it
                        Sunday. All machining is done on the body,
                        the ball detent is installed,the marker has
                        been re-assembled, and function's perfectly.
                        All that's left is to polish it to a mirror
                        shine, and install the feed neck.
                        It took about 30 min's on the lathe, and about
                        3 hr's on the mill, remember I did this all
                        on manual equipment, no CNC for Me. Anybody
                        that goes to Paintball Sam's on Sunday will get
                        to see it, for the rest of you you'll have to
                        wait until I can get someone to take some
                        digital pic's so I can post them here.
                        YEEEEEEEHAAAAAA!!!!

                            Tom,

                            Can I buy a slug body with the ball feed 90 degrees left, hrizontal left, instead of verticle? I want a warp left configuration. If not, can I buy a slug body with no ball feed hole drilled?

                            Thanks,

                              Hey people
                              check out my thread and give me you're feedback,
                              Do you like it or is it totally Fugly. I did it
                              all manually with no drawing's or spec's.
                              Just took the tube to the mill and went "Bzerk"

                                Seeing as the slug will work for the Emag, I will definately get one (after Xmas though) my mag needs some fancying up.

                                I have access to a few mills at work and can tear some stuff up!
