RPG hybrid frame-yet to be named...Take a look!

[OoS15oO]

i was looking to pick up a nice frame for my all mech mag. looks like i found the one, i know it wont be coming anytime soon but ive got patience.

[olinar]

same here, thisll be a great mech frame.

[A-Tach-One]

Looking great, I love it. As far as looks go, that's my style.

[RogueFactor]

That looks quite interesting. Two questions.

Does it take normal AGD triggers?

What sort of pistol grips match up? For example, I think that a regular Intelliframe matches the Colt Government Model pistols.

Oh, another question, and a big one. WHEN?

1) Triggers - Yes, it takes AGD triggers & RPG triggers.
2) Grips - 45 Panels, 45 wraparounds.
3) When - I expect to have them available by late August/early September

Interesting, going to take some getting used to for me. Room inside for E-mag board?

[RogueFactor]

You going to sell raw as well as black?? I might be up for a raw one..

I might be able to work something out for you

[Dark Side]

I might be able to work something out for you

Perhaps a drop in kit of some kind?

Man, those look cool. I can already see someone wanting to rig an X-Mag body on this thing.

Quick & Simple Answer:
I dont know Chipley, and have never communicated with him or the company. I have no idea if he/they know. The design isnt exclusive, so there was no need to do let them know, or get their 'blessing'. That should answer both questions. If not, I will expand...

Detailed answer:
The only design similarity of this frame and the CCM is the shape of the grip. Even that is not identical, only similar in appearance. Note that the grips they accept are different. The specs are also different. And of course, the RPG frame is made for the mag while the CCM frame is for the cocker. Even with those differences, the RPG version is not original, and Ive made that clear.

Ive searched and found no patent on the shape of this style grip. If a design is not patented(or protected), it becomes public domain within a year of being made public. This includes any of my designs, or anybody elses. Public domain allows anyone to use the design, with the hope of improving upon it. Examples of this are scythe/blade style triggers, rail drops(like the CP and all variants), Vert ASA's, 45 style frames, integrated dovetail into the frame, battery pack foregrips, humps on the frame, HES trigger systems, etc etc.

When I create an item, if it takes styling cues from an already popular product, I give credit where it is due. I always have. Id rather do that, than to change an item enough to attempt calling it original, when it isnt.

So rather than just make mention of CCM and give credit, I also made sure to post pics of the CCM frame too. Hard for someone to say I was trying to take credit for the design when I do that.

Thanks for the question though, it has allowed me to 'nip this in the bud' for anyone else who may be wondering the same thing.

i love it looks good.

i think it would look better if the trigger guard was not inverted towered the trigger. looks small and not much room for finger. i like how the ccm trigger guard looks better but other than that looks good

Rogue,
I like it.
When they are a reality, I'm in for one.
The only dilemma wil be which trigger option!

[RogueFactor]

Interesting, going to take some getting used to for me. Room inside for E-mag board?

Dont think so. E-mag internals were made specifically for the E-mag frame which is considerably larger than this frame, so I dont see it as possible.

Looking good Rogue, Built in Dovetail mount will be added? (I hope)

Doubtful. I never added one to the Chimera because the designs Ive seen you have to remove the grips to get at the mounting screw. It just isnt an optimal design, IMO.

If I come across a design I like, it will be added.
