PTP Micromag Bodies

[muddshutter]

If it gets the ball rolling faster, I would be happy to cover the deposit for the first 100 bodies?

I can deposit $5k in PTP's Paypal account to cover the start-up cost, interest building costs, etc. which would be returned to me once the first 100 were made and sold. From the beginning, all i have wanted is to see this make light. If all it takes is some cash to get it jump started, then just tell me where to send it.

I'd be interested in one. Will shipping be an issue to Canada?

Shipping to Canada is never a problem, it just costs more for shipping and maybe duties. I think that RevCan will also add GST to the package but am not sure yet.

I know that I have very few posts here... but I am still interested...

I have a nickel plated MicroMag RT (3rd gen) and it is a great marker...

Having a raw body with some upgrades would be great...

Gonna have to start another thread asking about my nickel plating...

So I am still down for 1

i dont know youve only been here since 2000 sounds kinda fishy i need references your good man no worries about you

[going_home]

guys heres your chance get your 2 cents in on what you would like to see added or improved

the detents and feedneck seem to be a major thing to everyone, i was also thinking in line of weight, i dont know the weight of the previous versions but hey the lighter the better. another thing mudd and i disscussed but i dont know how possible it could be, but seeing some of the old school colors come back would be pretty cool, but for a run like this probably not practical.

Answer a few questions....

Shipping to Canada is no problem. USPS is the most cost efficient and we will insure it.

Yes, our machines are tied up until November, so we can't move faster. (Faster isn't always better anyway)

I do NOT want to take any deposits until we are almost ready to roll on this. If I take them too soon people will be wondering what they put their money into.

I would appreciate any comments you have on upgrades. It will all be considered, doesn't mean that is what will happen, but we like the feedback. Forest always does things for a reason and if chooses not to do an upgrade, then it is for a reason.

Last but not least, please lets keep this a friendly string. I know there has been bad judgements, but it was with good intentions. Let's not harp on what was in the past and move to the future. I think you all (al least most of you) will be pleased with the results.

put me on the list for one please

would it be possible to make something that covers the area above a stormwalk frames' or emag lowers' foregrip?

[TimmyJay]

I am a maybe...

I like the fact that the price should be under $200. I like the past bodies, so a new design should be even better.

Under $200
Angel thread feedtube
Angel thread dual detents
Cocker thread barrels
RT sear
Raw Body

All those items get confirmed and I will definitely confirm with deposit!!!

Thanks for putting together this post.

Ok so if we lay to rest the

feedneck, change to an RT sear (and preferably add an AGD sear pin), and the dual detents

and assume the good bits stay the same

integrated body design so that no rail is required, cocker barrel threads

Then that leaves anodizing, and body design

There is a large local shop that is doing the ano on the logic frames. I would be interested in putting together a large order for custom old school anodizing of complete guns. It would have to be a large order to make it worth while though. I know rouge also has a really good ano guy someone should approach him about a quote on a special run (but you better have something specific to request).

Now for the body design. I would like to see these a little sleeker than previous models. Not carved and complicated like some of the "high end" karta dallara stuff just more streamlined and lighter. Knock off the boxy corners and make the design on the sides more elongated to accentuate the full length of the body (given it is so sweet and short it would be nice not to have it broken up by the design).

Oh I almost forgot. The foregrip should be more integral to the design. So something that matches the body more closely. Perhaps a shorty type grip.

Also a run of HORIZONTAL asa's to go with the bodies would make these too much fun.

Add me to the list please.

Send us a photo and we will see what we can do. we had a gap to cover between the battery box and the e-Micro body and handled that pretty well. Let's see what you need and go from there.

Seconded. Also, what are the chances of making the feedneck mounting modular so it can be RF, LF, or CF?

ok guys last night Tracy and I spoke on the phone and Tracy asked that we all try to come up with a new body design/look. she is wanting us to do something different that sets the look apart from the past micro bodies. obviously its gonna be the same shape and shell but the exterior design is what shes looking to change. for instance they first came out with straight lines milled in them, then the las run had the wavy lins milled in the side. now she is looking for some new design ideas to complement the new body. I may start another thread for just the ideas ppl have for this
