[FESTUS33]

Just so everybody know's
I have no intention of ripping off
anyone else's design's.
Any drawing's sent to me will be held,
in strictest confidence.
BTW Iwill have more pic's with the
feed neck installed as soon as my bro
figures out how to download his new digi-cam
and E-Mail's them to me

Nice job!

Looks good. The angled front is a must in my option.

Can you tell use how much the body weighs (or just compare it to a std EMag body)?

Thanks - Kevin

I have'nt weighed the two bodies yet,
but I'll let you know as soon as I do.
Prior to this I was using a vert body,
that had the feed neck cut short to
function as a No-Rise with a Revy.
Since I use a Halo I had to put an
NW Paintball adapter on it, I'll weigh
the body with that on it. The slug is
getting an NW Angel neck that's been
cut and threaded as a No-Rise, so I'll
weigh it with that installed.
I'll let you know when I weigh them,
but just the way the marker feel's
right now I'd say it's definitly lighter.
I also have a Warp feed right body that
I'll weigh for comparison.
BTW any lefty's out there interested in
a warp body it's For Sale, give me a call.

Well I got a chance to weigh the body's
this morning , the result's
1-Black powder coat Warp right=8.5 oz
2-Polished Vert W/NW adapter= 8.0 oz
3-Slug W/NW feed neck and ball detent=4.5 oz
That suprised even me, I did'nt expect
quite that big a difference.
I guess it really was worth the effort.
Tom I really want to Thank You for giving
me the opportunity, to make my marker
look so cool, and drop all that weight.

I believe if you milled your rail and grip like this. It would make for one very light E-Mag.

show off jk anyway festus were you implying that stolen design idea for me?(thinking i was afraid of getting my cad file stolen? i dont have a problem with that and im pretty sure omni doesnt care seeing as how if i get a couple made id give him one)

[IAMJaws]

Thanks guys!!
one more: How thin can the body be milled safely??

[BTAutoMag]

the question is. whats the easiest way of attatching it to your warp? maybe tom can make a side feed version...

Rick,

Nice job!! Very cool for a hand mill! Now the last thing you MUST do is come up with your own name for it. We don't want all of them being called "sluggos" now do we?

We picked the sluggo name figuring it was so stupid everyone would name their own custom bodies right away.

Get to it!

The only measurement I made during the whole process,
was the thickness of the sides so I'd stay centered.
The finished thickness on the left and right sides
is .035

No I did'nt mean to imply that at all, I just wanted
it to be clear that if anyone wanted me to mill a body
to they're design that those drawing's would be held
in strictest confidence.
Kind of like a nondisclosure agreement with an employer.

I figured I would call it the FSE {Festus Slug E-Mag},
I'm planning on talking to Heather, about making some
Jewel's for it

[FutureMagOwner]

[SiLeNt X]
