New rail design - Need opinions

[CoolHand]

OK, been kicking around a few RTP rail designs for a while. This one I'm calling the Interceptor, 'cause it reminds me of those new fangled flying machines.

Here we go -

They will be done from AGD slugs, so no questions about tolerances, etc.

Let me know what you think.

it has potential, but i dont like wings

I like the design, i have to say its better then some other designs i have seen... But i think the BEST rail was your first design for the RTP rail. Dont know if you still offer it but curves are SEXY

[AnArchist_1944]

I think its HT

[RRfireblade]

Don't like it, sorry.

Looks like a Kayak.

Yeah, that's totally doable (actually done).

But, since its already done, and I know people already like them, I'm not gonna spend a bunch of time to remodel and post them.

They will be available too.

Well, if it rolls over and sinks, we'll know why.

i like it but its too common looking, nothing like

So id say it would sell, its cool to see all these rails coming out, i am going to be in the look out for one soon. Is the way its cut allow for a warp? I would guess so, i do like that though. I have a warp and would like to not carve and slaughter my rail. I want something sleak, not too wingy but have character and ofcourse allow for warp.

Probably cause of the big hole in the bottom....or the fact that it's WAY to small for my butt.


It's not that bad tho, maybe look better on a gun, IDK.

It may make a comeback as well. But I'm not done with it yet.

I love it.

Unfortunatly I'm not going to spend another bundle of cash on something that is only for show.

I've got a ULE rail from Tuna on my gun and a stock E-Mag rail sitting in my extra bag.

I'd trade both for that new rail but I'm sure I couldn't sell them for enough $ to buy it.

Bummer.

edit: I wish there was a poll choice that said: I like it but it'll only sell to those looking to upgrade from stock or the crazies who change there gun because they have money to burn.

[maglover728]

looks good but what wold it cost?

[space_weazel_45]

i like it but i have been looking for something that kind of blends in to a ule body, to smooth out the transition, and i at least think that would look great.
anyone else?

[CoolHand]

OK, mixed reviews, I'm glad to see all the feedback.

What kind of price range would you guys have to see to make it attractive?

I'm not going to say what I have in mind, because this is PBTalk, and I don't want to post again in the dealer's forum. I'd like to know what you all have in mind.

Be on the lookout for a couple more of these threads in the coming weeks.

Thanks for stopping by.

realistically for a custom milled rail like yours in a vareity of base colors (blue red black blah blah) i would expect somewhere from $50-$75 for a rail such as the one in the thread and many other rails that your sure to pass by us. but if your looking for a selling price where you may actually sell the product i would say about $40. thats my 2 cents at least


but on a side note... how comes we dont mill inwards? such as the Dye Autocker and how they removed the metal inbetween the bolt and the valve area. to me that would be incredible if there was a rail where you could see right through... cuase the way im looking at it isyou could lose about an inch from the back of the rail.youve got about an inch gap that you could mill all the way through from the sides from the front screw to where the sear goes. and from there you have options to mill inwards about half a centimeter. personally id love inward milling far more then any outward milling and in my eyes this is VERY feasable with out ruining any tolerances
