New Slug body designs from Deadlywind

[JAM]

yeah, that looks sweet.

And it is really nice to see some physical models rather than just CAD.

ILL TAKE IT!!

nicad how much for the wood bodies?

[nicad]

wood bodies! $5 get em while they are hot*! hehe

been a while since iv updated.. sorry. spent most of the day tuneing the mill and making some changes to it to hopefully allow for faster mill times.

im getting back on the software tomorrow and try to pump out a another design. so far the last design posted is the most popular.. ill see if I can come up with some variations of it or maybe a new spin on it.

Also I plan on having an aluminum sample done tomorrow (not a Slug, just a bar of aluminum).. but cant promise anything on that time.

to answer some questions, the $200-something range is planned to be raw bodies only, ready to be annodized. they WILL be threaded for a ball detent. I like the angel ball detent, since you can twist it from the back with an allen wrench, so that is prolly what they will be tapped for. any suggestions on this part?







*wood bodies exclude any interal anything. body sold is externally milled chunk of wood. :-D

How about a non ripper style body?

[Little Matt]

I think it looks awsome. About how long before the go into production?

Suggestion

I would like to have a detent on both sides(just for looks I like things to be uniform). I would also agree on the angel detent they look the best. I was also wondering if you could extend the milling onto the/a body rail to make it look that much better.

Thx, B

production time.. good question. Iv been dedicating almost everyday to make these things a reality (from the designing, tweaking, toolpath output, to machine setup and roughing/finishing passes).. things are getting closser everyday. :)

integrated body rail milling.. good idea. however, the reason for the slug was to be compatible with (all?) mags.. if theres different rails, then thatll introduce many variables in setup. :-/
ill still look into it later tho..

nicad, since i have already purchased a slug, would it be possible to send it to you to have it run through your milling process.....and if by chance you will.....what will you charge.............thanks

Not a fan of "ripper" milling, but looks like you're doing some great work.

[nicad]

ok im running a test aluminum bar right now.. it might be a while.. :)

sure youcan send in your existing slug body.. whatever the price is set at, I guess just subtract $100 from it.

I wish I could afford one of these, they look sweet. But it's not gonna happen any time this decade.

You should do the complete anti-thesis of ripper... lol. Cover both extremes of the spectrum. I think that'd be cool for you guys to do that.

that is decently nice but by doing that it looks kinda like some sort of adult toy . keeping it straight and smooth in the front no ridges is a good idea.

[mistwolf]

What's wrong with adult toys? Imagine the looks you'd get with this and a carefully milled barrel...
