Anyone else dislike the ULE bodies?

[trains are bad]

I think they're ugly.

I don't like how the front is angled. Does this serve a purpose or is it an attempt at stylizing?

I also don't like the 'cosmetic' milling.

Maybe I'm a plain person but simplicity excites me.

Then the standard mag body is designed just for you...

[trains are bad]

but it aint ULE.

Also, There really should be a warp Tac-one (if there isn't).

Weight difference is, to be honest, minimal. Alternatively get a sluggo machined down to a basic tube.

Realistically, AGD have to design it to the satisfaction of the majority, and the majority seem to like it... for everyone else they make the sluggo.

Nobody makes a non-ule warp body, though, do they? And what is the actual weight difference?

Would I be better off with an xvalve and regular body or a ULE body and a retro valve?

[Skoad]

the first warp bodies were non-ule.

I like the ULE body design.

Tom K. let the AO forum select from a few designs a long time ago. He put it up to a vote. I found it searching.

I believe the weight difference is almost half. I can get excat numbers whne I get to the house tonight.


the ULE AGD offers has just enough AL on it to make it sctrutrally sound.

I don't doubt it, but it's still half of "not a lot", i.e. still a minimal difference!

I'm always suprised at how my stainless warp mechanical Retromag is so much lighter than my X.

i actually like the angle on the front
hell when i had a old school rt i cut the front off to make it look like that before they started producing bodies like that.

That's because of the X's battery, it's a heavy sucker

more than half.

I personally think that they look great. I just put one on my emag and am very happy with it. It has turned my emag back into my favorite marker again. The vert feed/low rise plus the lighter weight(yes it is minimal) have sidelined my eblade in favor of the emag. It did have a warp body and warp/revy setup and it was just too much of a boat anchor with all that stuff. The ULE and eggo setup I have now is great. I plan on milling the rail when I can stand to take it apart again long enough, I imagine it won't weigh much more than the eblade after that.

I like everything about it. I hate the old body. It looks like a piece of pipe. That's why I prefer the minimag body the most, until the ULE.

i think im straggling the line of LIKE and DISLIKE....i like that its light...and i dont like the plain desing (no offence its decent)...But i think the "design" looks more like deep straight scratches...

IMO i think a wavy line that goes with the neck would of been nice...

...then again there is nicad and the DW crew to save our body issues...
