Introducing the Micromag 2009

what is with #1763

I'm not sure if this has been covered again or not, but the thread went in two directions (sear pin vs. on/off pin I think...) - The sear pivot pin will be slightly shorter because of the narrower body. We'll be building them, but a cut down stock sear pin should be fine as well.

The on/off pin will technically be the same RT length, which non-technically means that you take the longest one you can find and grind the daylights out of it until the marker goes full auto reactive... It's very similar to the way we torque bolts - crank down on the bolt until it snaps, and then back it off about a quarter turn...

Zoom,

I'm referring to Forrest's post above regarding the RT on/off pin.

If we have to grind down the pin, I was looking for a starting point for my grinding.

Ahhh , i have no clue :/

RRF will have those numbers when hes done with the prototpye .

[ZoomZ@PTP]

some parts looks like a bit different between the pics from the first page!!!
1. the corner from the sight rail to the feed looks like stronger
2. the sight rail is higher
3. some edges from the front part are not crushed

#1 , if your talking about the angle of the front of the sight rail , in the prebuild photo's that angle is 22.5 degrees and on the prototype its 45 degrees , production will be 22.5 degrees , a longer sloping angle.

#2 The sight rail is actually .025 shorter , maybe its the photo at an angle ??

#3 Not Crushed ??? , i dont know what you mean .

I assume he means that the edges on the prototype front block are very sharp, whereas they are slightly rounded in the CAD rendering. That is the only thing I can tell.

[ZoomZ@PTP]

Pretty much every edge will be radius's during either tumbling or polishing .

I sent Tracy a PM about three weeks ago. No response yet, so I'm restating it here.
Unfortunately, since missing the initially project ready date back in May, this project has suffered too many delays for me. I understand that this is a custom project, but at this point, I find myself waiting too long and would like a refund. If anyone wants to take over my order, that's cool too, I'm flexible.

You have to send an email; her first post has instructions for contact.

I'm getting really excited! Would it be possible to see a ruler or some kind of scale after the holes (specifically the front frame screw and trigger frame mounting holes) are drilled? I know we talked numbers but I would really like to see the measurements against a physical body.

I keep checking the Excel spreadsheet for updates, it still shows I owe $235- it should show just $35. Should I call?

It's 3 weeks tomorrow and past those 2 and 1/2 weeks to bead blast and polish and anno and such. So how's our update lookin? We gettin these before canobie's big last game on the 15th?

The prototype is being tested.
My guess is none of that is happening until the testing is done,
in case changes (read improvements) need to be made.

That and he has to re-run all the breeches.

That and he has to re-run all the breeches.

I believe he ran one of each part, deburred and polished them, found a problem with the breech, solved it and made up a new one, then sent it out for testing. I'm no machining expert, but logic would dictate that he wouldn't make 190 bodies / breeches / fronts AND THEN send out one of them to see if they actually work properly...

As near as I can interpret from Russells posts a working prototype has been made, and is out for testing. If everything is in 100% order then the actual bodies will be machined (much quicker than the first one, since kinks are worked out and programming perfected) and then will be prepped for anodizing.

[Frizzle Fry]

So, after all, how much LONGER will it take for the new 2010 Micromag to be available?

Thanks.

My best guess is that it'd take 2 weeks from now to churn out the bodies, then 2 to anodize, then 1 to be packaged and shipped... I'm not sure though, as we haven't seen any pictures or posts about the gadget grips or emag front ends. I still think we're looking at delivery well before Christmas.
