RRFireblade could do it, or you could also email the guys at destructive customs.

I was wondering the same thing...
who does it? what does it cost?
and how much weight can you really save?
there's not a ton of stuff to mill out is there???Comment

Major milling areas are the Frame Hump, Internal mount milling, left and right side near HALL sensor and cutting through the solid blockdirectly below the Hall Sensor. All said and done, it doesn't remove much weight, we're talking less than 8oz. removed from an E-Mag Rail and trigger frame. (If I can find my old e-mag weight on here I'll give you a solid number, but just between shipping weights it's around 6oz.)
People who can do it.

I Imagine NiCad could as well
Edit: My E-Mag before getting a face-lift was 2lb 15.8oz (ULE Body, E-Mag rail/Lowers, X-Valve, & CP Rail), since it's all still in pieces and about to be sent to ano, I won't know what the actual new weight of it is assembled. However it has been claimed that a ULE E-Mag can go down to 2lb. 0oz. though I don't know how considering the battery weighs 6.5oz. and there isn't that much metal that can be taken off AND my ULE RT Pro only weighs 2lb. 6oz. (ULE Body, RTP Rail, Inteliframe, X-Valve, & CP Rail).

Edit: According to Tom, the SFL E-Mags weighed in at 3lb. 12oz. with an E-Mag valve and also according to Tom the weight lost by the E-Mag valve when changed to the X-Valve was 3oz and the LX bolt adds another ounce to the weight loss. So really an SFL E-Mag with an X-Valve should weigh in at 3lb. 8oz. with an X-Valve in it.
So by that a stock ULE E-Mag is significantly lighter than an SFL Mag.
However this is all beside the point. Anyway - based on a good number of assumptions, the total weight loss provided by ULE milling on the E-Mag lowers themselves would seem to be in the neighborhood of 3oz. max.
Tripple Edit: Further investigation lists an SS bodied E-Mag (bare gun w/o barrel) as 3lb 13oz. This leads me to believe that either Tom made a typo and the SFL E-Mag is actually 2lb. 12oz. or the page listing the E-Mag is a typo. Either way, I belive the 2lb. 12oz. SLF is a much more reasonable number. Anyone who actually knows, please comment, I'm curious.Last edited by VFX_Fenix; 08-31-2006, 01:11 AM.
