I know my weapons and THAT is NOT a grenade launcher! What are you trying to pass off on us?




Thanks for the update.

The billet is 2lb 6.4oz's and the body after cutting is 6.2 oz's :/

Thankz for the complements guy , slowly but surely its getting done .

.

Why do you start with round stock, or turning, material cost, 4th axis jigging?

[luke]

Tracy,

Can I get my parts un-annoed?

[dark blade]

awww these are going to be heavier than i thought sniffle sniffle

thats fine. I plan to do custom work with mine anyways, ULE'ing on the bottom, milling on the sides and top, removal of the sight rail and milling there too. Hopefully i can get some more weight off it.

The old micromag bodies weighed in at 14 ounces I hope this is going to be much lighter (should be)



edit: luke, any chance you will be making a ULE milling service for these bodies? Id be interested


double edit: Are the bodies missing the z slots for the valve pin? or are they just that small that they dont even have them...

Ya i'm in the same boat. I'm getting mine raw/polished till I figure something out.

Yes , thats the last cut i have to do .

It wont be the Z cut , it will be a straight slot .
