A Different Hot of the Mill Emag Extreme

[SoupRman]

very, very niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee......... i like it best in the 3rd pic as TK stated you can see the bodoy lines better. im sure this thing would look even more beatiful in pewter or in a blue anno. maybe even a nickle plating? i know there not final, but what can one imagine.

That is sweet, could we see a shot with a valve in it?

with the valve

[Potatoboy]

I like it a lot!
That whole show of all of the valve idea looks very, very familiar....

[ThePatriot]

OHHHHH....with the valve it looks SO much better, i was thinking before isnt that gonna rip up your shoulder, but with the valve i like it alot more, and definetely an improvement over the previous one

I was very impressed with the fantasy EMag that had the lions head at the front. An ovular battery pack would be better though in my opinion. What I don't like is the shape of the valve cut out or the trigger. Blade trigger should be used. I don't know if you saw it but for the angel it would be the cobra stick trigger or for the cocker the hinge trigger. I love those triggers. Instead of making the body as light, maybe make a lighter valve if possible. Is there a plastic that is as durable and strong as steel. Maybe use aluminum. Or maybe ertalyte valve with a steel sleeve on the outside?

Elegance in Simplicity !!!

I like it very much. Glad you told us not to get excited cause I sure like the round battery too...

Hmmmmmm... If I send you a check for $1350 will you let me help you beta test one? LOL...

[toymyster]

That is nice!!! I do like the blade trigger!!! Any chance of that trigger finding it's way to the AGD store????

[M-a-s-sDriver]

That is very nice and original.
What would you think of this: Keep the general milling of this body, but put a twist to it, as if you grabbed those two protrusions in the back with your hand and turned them 30 deg. left or right. Is that possible?
Would you guys like a body that has left-right asymetry to it?
I was one of the few who liked the "artsy" milling of John's first gun, and to me it had a very Frank Lloyd Wright architectural feel to it. That made me think of a house he did in the 1920's that was made of cast block with a very unusual asymetrical design cast into the blocks.
Also, have you thought of the Gieger design at all, and maybe an Art-deco aerostream type gun?
Great work on both guns.
Just keep on chopping bodies up till your heart's content.

Ok, why is it everyone loves, what I think is merely OK? I have a lot more issues with this one, than the last. To me, the 1st looked like you had good ideas, while this one looks like a lot of deep cuts, just to make them.

I think the best way to "fix" this style is to mirror the milling infront of the breach to the back of the breach and then go into what you already have. I would also think about leaving the material that is right above the gripframe so that it still matches up with the breach along that line. I think those things would clean it up alot, and not make it look like a bunch of random cuts(at least in my eyes, but what do I know everyone else likes it.) And while it would put a little weight back on the marker, it would all be in the middle over the gripframe where it makes the least difference.

Tom you might want to have the milling of the gun flow to the breech modual a little more. It sticks out too much. There should be a seamless transition there. It looks great and I see a lot of progress.BTW thanks for the the pic with the valve in. It helps us visualize the gun .

I like this idea, there is no reason it couldn't be done, not that I can see at least. The original extreme bodies had the valve completely enclosed, so the matterial is there to do it. The only think with this it to make sure the twist leaves the "EMAG" on the valve exposed.

Quick question, is the extreme getting it's own valve? You have 68's, mini's, RT's, E's, so is there going to be a EX?

[Bonx0007]

I agree with headcase in the fact that the body should probably flow a little better to the grip frame too. The pieces right now look a little miss matched. If it flowed a tad bit more to make it look like one uniform gun instead of a bunch of pieces of guns it might look a bit nicer. Just some constructive criticism.

I think that this is an improvement over the last X-treme milling attempt, and is closer to what players would like, but still needs work.

Round battery pack doesn't look all that appealing to me, ever.. I think there is a good following out there just to keep the squarish battery pack, possibly mill it a bit, and possibly add rubber grips onto it.

The shape looks to be desiring to be more sleek and streamlined. In this case, I think the front could be slightly more so, specifically around the area where the battery meets its contacts in the body.

I think you were onto something in the area directly to the rear of the vert feed module area, in the style of it, but should continue doing complimentary milling to the rear of that, rather than making the rest all smooth. Or, take the stepped part out, and make that section smoothened too. (though this will keep the milled extreme from having too many distinguishing parts vs. the regular extreme.

Blade trigger looks okay, perhaps try milling the rear part of the trigger to keep it from looking so 'fat'? Maybe spiked ridges, beveled rear edges, slots/holes drilled into the trigger, a wavy looking rear side.. whatever. I know you need the magnet in the middle of the trigger, but I'm sure you can figure out how to blend this into the rear of the trigger milling design.

Smoothen out the transition from the hall effect sensor area to the finger rest area?

I think the valve is also too exposed, and in a fashion which doesn't really look right.

I like this one much more than the 1st. I definately like the direction you are going with. I think the "flared up" rear end looks sexy. Could the breech be milled more or are you leaving it alone for a reason? Seems to me there is some meet that could come off that as well.

Project is lookin ggreat though guys. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more designs as you come up with them.
