Introducing the Micromag 2009

[Watcher]

are you talking about the part that actually covers the battery pack gap? if so, please radius it to the shape of the pack.

I do not want to have a weird shape covering the battery pack... if it is too short then not the whole frame will be covered, if its too long it will have square edges sticking off

please radius it and lengthen it to fit the whole top of the battery pack and frame.

that would be dandy

No, they are refferring to where the pack cover meets the rest of the body. It will fit nice against the battery pack regardless, just there is aesthetic milling to deal with under the front block.

[BigEvil]

Very nice.

Tracy,
I know things are still in jelling but I had a thought, I know scary...

I have two bodies on order and was wondering if there was any chance I could buy (at an added cost) the front part for both the MM and Emag for each body? So that would be two bodies and four fronts.

Again this will all hinge on the bodies being the same...

It's no longer a uni-body. Now it's like a one-body. One body for everything!

EMicroMag

I am wondering if the body will be machined differently for Emag lowers or will it just be a piece that gets added like the EMicroMags had before.

[ZoomZ@PTP]

The bodies are cut the same for both emicro and micro .

There is no added plate to cover the battery pack like the emicro's had before .

Ok now I am really cornfused













Looks like one has a battery cover plate and the other doesnt.
Does the small part in front of the breach area where the barrel mounts
have the battery cover attached for an EMicro ?
I saw where the front part comes off for breach adjustments and vert asa mounting.
I'm trying to understand what the difference will be from the mech body and the "E" body,
and I'm not being too successful at it right now lol.

Yes, the front "barrel threaded section" is removable and different for the Micro and the EMag but the breach and main body is the same. Hence my question of, "Can I buy both types of front sections for one body?"

[pk5]

I have a few question regarding the tolerance of this body:

1. Since i am getting custom milling, is it true that you cannot get the body anodized gloss due to the tolerance?
2. If the polished is only on the outside upper surface will that be ok?
3. Is there anything else that i should take consideration when getting milling and anodizing done?

Thanks

The "rail" (only name that works, the part that the breach and front block sit on) is milled in the front differently for each body.

For the E front block, the "rail" is milled square so the battery cover will sit flush.
For the normal block, the "rail" is milled round so it fits better aesthetically.

Both blocks will fit both bodies, just if you put an E block on the normal rail there will be a gap between the edge of the "rail" and the battery cover, and if you put a normal block on an E body then the milling won't sinch up perfectly...

Yea ,, what he said ^ ^

That's too bad...

It would be really nice to have the bodies all the same and the front part be interchangeable. Too bad the front lip of the AM/MM body could be part of the Barrel Thread Section then the back bodies could all be machined the same. Wouldn't that be more in keeping with the PTP/AGD philosophy that one part with multiple functions?

Sorry about the

We definitely all agree - and have made it as universal as we can. The core design is still the mechanical Micromag, but we are really trying to please everyone with the inclusion of the e-Micro option. Russell will blend it all as much as possible and we could end up with just one body, but not likely . There is only a very minor difference as it is now and you can still switch back and forth - the flow of the lines just isn't as perfect as it is with the matching body/block combo. Its a lot more work for us this way too...

No problem, thanks for the response. You know we all think you guys Rock over at PTP.

BTW, I have a marker I just recently acquired and I thought you might like to take a look, it has "ARMSON" engraved on both sides... Oh and I have a Welcome back to Maine present I need to drop off to you.

[Madmarx]

2 things...
(Flame away if I missed this already somewhere)

1. What's to stop me from using the emicro body w/ a mech setup?

2. Has there been any discussion on "Factory" ULE milling?
