spring is just around the corner

wow carl, you really laid it on him, that's alot of good info, couple things though to add....terms of 15*, why couldn't you make your own? i mean if not make a whole new peice, just make an angle plate that fit between your asa, and your body rail? hell, this could even be made out of wood(i wouldn't recomend it though)

in terms of ano, all ano will harden the alum. a little, but you can also get a hard coat ano which will make it VERY hard to scratch.

my x-valve, no matter what shot it is, only varries +/- 5 fps w/ any shot...loook at my previous post to see chrono results

thats what I was thinking: make your own.

In the next 3 months we may have access to 4-axis milling. We're planning on doing some custom run guns, total custom work on an individual basis, as well as our own 'line' of odds and ends parts - - - - quite possibly including a mag 15 degree A.S.A. as well as custom sluggo's.


however, thats still a long way off.

well..

i guess the decisions are up to me now..

they new body sounds great. but the cocker threads mean a new barrel + the new body. that is pretty pricey at once.

so i may look into things i can have for both, if i make the switch to the new alum body.

any suggestions on warp? ive held one, and i think they are nice.

i could do warp, JJ edge, and black classic mag body. ( what about powdercoating a standard mag body?? )that would look fine and the price on the mag body may even drop if the alum is out. then the only nickle plated thing i would have is the valve and the intelliframe. possibly x-valve later.

a new alum body is gonna cost me more, i would think. plus anodizing it, unless it would come standard with a few different colors. as that will probably be the last thing i get, ill look and see what is goin on with the bodies and check their prices.

i do want a 15* asa though. I had to dremel my gas thru @ the top because it wouldnt fit with my intelliframe. so it looks ugly as a piece of poo. so maybe a new black forgrip and a 15* asa. any ideas on construction of one??



thanks for reading this long posts :]

i appreciate it!

thanks

Dont buy a cocker unless its an Eblade. If you are buying a new gun go electro.

[Smokee_2_7]

the reason i suggested the slug body is because you were considering a cocker- - - you would probably wind up getting a new barrel anyway. Besides, if you were looking at a new barrel system, the cocker threaded one would most likely cost less than the mag one. I think the milled al bodies will come in some colors. You can always have it re-annoed at a later date.

However, you're right- - it is totally up to you. Build/ customize somthing that is exactly what you want. Keep us posted on it! we love seeing new and custom stuff.

the decisions have always beeen up to you....

in terms of making 1, i may try it here soon myself. well make 15* adaptor right now all i thnk of is just adding an angle plate between the asa and the body rail and just have a 2 different scrwe holes...1 to hold the asa, and 1 to hold it to the rail, there may not be enough room for that, so i may drill and ream out the screw hole that is already there, and do a press fit so only 1 screw hole is then needed. one other thought that crossed my mind, is that the asa has "fins" on it to wrape up around the body rail, i may try to make them into a dove tail and make an angle plate that will slide into that dove tail, hold it in place via a set screw, and then have he other drilled and tapped hole to hold it all to the body rail
