Tom, question about sfl'ers and x-mag users about anno

[AGD]

The problem with getting any gun reanoed is the old ano is removed in an acid bath. This burns away the aluminum and opens up all the holes and takes metal off everything.

The main problem we have is that it opens up the threads. The biggest problem is the main washer that is threaded into the body to stop the bolt. If the threads open up it is no longer centered properly and the bolt is not centered in the breach. Now you have big problems.

Reano at your own risk, we do not do that.

I'd like to know from a stock emag perspective. I've bought a ULE rail, am getting a ULE frame from Tuna and would like those 2 pieces, along with the battery pack to match. I don't want to have anything screwed up. Any suggestions on how can we get this stuff annoed/reanned without causing any problems?

Thanks,

ok ,tom said anno at your own risk..... guess that means, im not touching it! well, guess that sux to be me, tom, when the x-bodies were at the annoer, did you cut the threads afterwards? im confused about this

Yes, thats me. Actually, there's a few of our regular customers have copied the green and black sig image- - so thats why you're seeing so much of it.


Yes, I can definitly see where tom is coming from on this. There is a very good posibility that re-annoing a SFL or X-mag could be more trouble than its worth. If anyone is interested in having it done, I would suggest that you find out a way to safely remove the washer from the body, and re-install it. As far as the threads being opened up too much, I have not seen any problems like that BUT I know that Tom knows his stuff, and how specific the tolorances are in an AGD product- - especially an integral peice like that. I may know a way to protect the threads from acid getting to them(they would never be stripped or re-annod), but I would want to test the idea out first on some old spyder threads just to make sure.
