New Rail Need New Cosmetics!!

[Ov3rmind]

There are only two things that I think must be done to it:

1. Simple, yet sleek. An over detailed design would look very out of place.
2. Flows with the ULE.

jam that thing is awsommmmmeee to say the least

Jam that looks great! I would buy one if it looked like that.

I think AGD needs to put JAM on the payroll. He always does great work.

[Miscue]

That's pimp, yo!

[Burphel]

Ok, not cosmetic, but how about milling in a slot for a pump rod with just a mm or so wall on the outer edge so that a person that wanted to do a pump mod could convert the rail with a Dremel rather than sending it off for an airsmith to do it?

I realize there's a limited market for pump mags, although you might be suprised how big it is, but this wouldn't affect the conventional version and make the new rails a lot more attractive for those of us with Luddite mentalities.

*looks at JAM's and cries* ... well my friend, there goes the contest...

anyways heres my idea

The AGD thing in the front would be a bubble sticker in a slightly milled oval like on the emag rail, the back curves down to allow the field strip screw to go through the rail,the curved thing that slopes down then up fades into more of a flat bump towards the agd logo. There is a teardrop milled into it (thats what the grey thing is supposed to be) Where it looks like it curves up towards the body (2nd cutaway) its supposed to look more curved/ flush looking to some extent with the body

EDIT: If one of you CAD gurus or whatever it is would like to make a 3-d rendition, it would be nice

jam's is awesome(as usual)
but in my opinion is the x-mag of rail concepts...
very pretty...but very expensive and time consuming to make
many compound angles...etc...lots of milling

i think something like either one of these would be more reasonable

[Cryer]

I love how the Omega rails look, and I think the new AGD rail could be loosely based on that.

You know how the Omega rails have to sets of 'wings', one set at the front and one set at the back? Well put similar wings on the back of this one, but at the top of the rail instead of the bottom.
At the front, have some small wings like what JAM shows at the bottom of the rail.
Also, the front should be angled down like the omega rail.

Sorry I cant put a pic up, I'm at a public computer right now, and mine doens't have internet access at home yet.

I think there needs to be just a little more decorative meat to them on the sides than the current rail. Sharp angles are good in this case

playing around with jam's other ideas

here's kinda more like what im thinking...
only with a "agd" laser engraved with a cooler font than i could find

[Jerhew]

gah it didnt attach...

doubt that'll work, it needs the z-lock

[Jerhew]

sorry if that was confusing
those are actually 2 side views of 2 different ones...
the inside of the rail wouldnt change

[rikkter]

i modeled Jam's design so. its crappy made, i didn't take my time really, but now that i have it made to the size and all that according to the picture, i can go back and make a much smoother version of it.

My Best Effort

With my super skills with Paint (haha) I have come up with a simple yet cool looking rail (I think?)All the milling would just be side etching and a little chop off the back piece. Well ill just post the pic....
