    Side plates for rt/emag rails

    so howcome no one has made some sideplates for the rails. They can retrofit the existing holes in the rt/emag rail. Just another aesthetic upgrade idea.

    ...ever in the continual search of time dilation.

        Neat! its like putting armor on
        If anyone has seen Zoids,
        you can customize your mech warrior with plates sort of like this, armor almost
        but for looks thats cool

          Why not just remove the damn holes in the first place since they appear to serve no usefull purpose?

          P.S. is your sig from Lone Wolf & Cub?

            I'm pretty sure the CNC Uses those holes to get a grip on the piece, dunno though.

              Also Carbon, I have an idea to go along with yours. Its great (your idea), but you still see those screws, yes? Why not have the screws screw in a smaller side rail, and then in that rail you slide a piece in to give it a bit more flow, and it wont show any ugly screws..

                Was waiting for someone to ask. Frankly, I'd pay in the area of $30 if they looked ok, $50 if they looked hawt.

                  I think I'd pay $25-$30
                  What if you made a piece able to slide over the plate. So you wouldn't see the screw holes.

                        How about some rails that support mounting sights and such. This would give some flexibility to players who go back and forth with scenario. Same marker, more features and accesories.

                        If it was something like the picinnany rails (at the angle to see around the vert feed) that could be mounted either right or left it would add all sort of options for the ULE bodies.

                          Any chance you might provide these? In combination with your matt black rails and such, I think this could be a bigger hit than the Tac-One body. Basically I imagine something like the E-mag sight rail but with mountable holes for sight rails.

                          It's different enough from the Tac-One approach and it should actually be lighter.

                            Not only that but think of the overall marker composition. If rail-plates were made to match a Karta, you'd have a seller. But, again, AGD is veering away from Tourney stuff (Function over form from now on.).

                              Instead of buying the tac-one body you just have the mounting things....for the scenario players that would save them a bundle. (btw i was agreeing with what was said ^ not trying to say i made it up.)

                              Manike-It's still early days. One thing for sure is that the future is going to be interesting, and we intend to be a BIG part of it.
