The slug will work as it comes from AGD, with everything
BUT the RT classic, and even that can be made to work if you know what you're doing. But a stock unmachined slug would be the fugliest marker you have ever seen. Anybody interested who does'nt have the knowledge or equiptment,
can contact me by P.M. and we could work something out.

Nice job festus, I've seen what your grips will look like to and you will have a sweet setup, can't wait till you get the feed tube in!

Thank's Chuck
Heather just sent me pic's of the grip's
yesterday. I think they will complete
what to Me is the perfect setup.
BTW this marker w/this body is just as
light as my Tribal, which I parked when
Tom gave me E-Mag as gift for helping
test the E-mag prototype's. I've known
Tom for about 10 yr's and he has alway's
been just a regular guy to me.

You have to thread the hole for the feed tube for whatever feed tube threads you prefer. For example Angel or Autococker.

EDIT: I am still going to wait for the new sluggos that cover the valve. They will just give you more options.

Festus looks very nice.

[FESTUS33]

Everything is threaded except the
ball detent hole. But at least
they drill a pilot hole, so
location of the ball detent is
no problem you just have to decide
whether you want to use Autococker
or angel ball detent Then drill
and tap accordiningly.



Wow I drink I thunk too much

Nice gun lines man, talk about garage spirit! I'm guessing you're going to anno it to match the barrel and denet. All they need to do is get it out for the classics and I'll be happy.

It will already fit on you're classic, the only rail
it does,nt fit is the RT and if you know what you're
doing that can be fixed too.

mmmmm, What color is your feed neck? and will you be anoe'n it?

[50 cal]

Does the feed neck hole come slightly undersized for threading? Or will you need to drill and tap it?

If it comes with 'cocker threads, is the centerline pretty much there? Is the centerline pretty easy to pick up and work from?

Sorry for all the ?'s. Will be getting a slugo after Xmas and need to get ready for it.

Yup, with the classic you can fit an E-mag body on with just a little modification, or none. I did it with none and it worked awesome.
That looks awesome FESTUS!!

Oh an 50. Cal the Sluggo comes pre threaded for the angel feed tubes

[kevdupuis]

Looks great. I need to pick up a new or used RTP rail before I start cutting.

O.k. I guess I failed to mention this body was done,
strictly on a manual Bridgeport mill. I didn't have
any drawing's or spec's prior to putting it on the
machine. This is just a pure expression of my Art
in machining, Even I could'nt duplicate it again,
I might get close but never exactly identical.
If you have an idea and a drawing I'd have to see
it to tell you if it's doable on my equipment.
P.M. you're drawing's to me and I'll let you know.
