Introducing the Micromag 2009

[Mayvik]

ya, i was just explained that by 4 people in about 10 minutes haha. I am seeing if i can trade spots with the person on the list because i really need that spot... my gf and i just got engaged and we met on the 13th and i told her that i would do something to make her permanently on my mind and paintball gun (shes jealous of my mag)

so thought that getting the s/n 13 would show a true effort to getting something special on my marker

Now that we know how much it's worth to you, S/N 13 will cost a premium :P

Holy Crap!!!

I'm sportin' wood!

Will be prepaying shortly..... and thanks for including a sexy sight rail!!!

For what it's worth, the density difference between 6061 and 7075 is in the third decimal place in pounds per cubic inch. In order to weigh 2lb, you'd be looking at a solid 1.9" square block 10" long...so there's no way the body will weigh that. I can't imagine these weighing much more than a MM 2000 body, which is not very heavy at all...if anything probably a bit less. I'm betting the body comes in around 9-10 ounces.

Thanks for saving me!!!

good cuz i was thinking about taking my deposit back... i cant believe you guys would try to sell a 6 pound square block of raw aluminum with some random threads and screws everywhere as the new body of the era

(ducks from the PTP acidrain bullets) (hide mode again)

teehee, no but in all honesty... i am VERY excited to see how this turns out

fheads up

i just wanted to give a heads up on some possible solutions i can offer for this body for all the people wanting to use an ACE or Break-Beam eye system.

if those people interested, head over to this thread: http://automags.org/forums/showthrea...36#post2600436 and please give me some feedback. that way i can have a solution(s) ready for the bodies when they come to life.


wouldnt mind some input from ptp if they would like to say a word or two.


Thanks for your time,
-Chris

WOOHOO!!
can't wait!
funny thing, you design will work perfectly with what I'm building!!
we are going to have to talk about uh... future business...
going to be calling on Feb. 2, 2009 to place my order.

Tracy,
Would it be OK to stop by the Portland Office and pre-pay for my two bodies? (that sounded strange...) Just let me know what would be a good time?

Thanks,
Shawn

a splash anno could be difficult because each of the parts will be annoded separately and the splash won't run across the the parts



green acid:


red acid:

[dark blade]

well... i do not know much about ano, but i know that if they took all the pieces and ano'd them all gloss black, and took the pieces and laid them together and used a bit of acid to remove the finish on some spots, and then ano'd the whole things slime green it would work... theoretically

but then again i do not do ano, so i do not know how that would work

this is just proof that an acidwash on multiple pieces can still be done to look great.

thefool told me that you do a base layer of a darker color and then use acid to expose the bare metal and then put a second layer over it because the darker color shows through and makes a "fade" to the other color... hence why black always looks great with another color in an acidwash.

[Sumthinwicked]

hed know better than me my friend did it the other way

[Engus]

dark blade - its not a big deal, but could you please use the 'edit' feature and stop double posting?

and the downside to a acid wash on the body is trying to match the rest of the parts later.

[dark blade]

removed double posts and will be more weary of it

sorry for clogging the thread,

also... i understand the problem with the acidwash, yet... if they offer the option of sending in pieces to match ano, it would be possible to send them all in and have them match right from the start.

As with any other type of ano, there are always differences in how strong and dark vs light the ano job is.

i have an all polish ano'd black e-tac and none of the parts match (except the ones done by the same anodizer)

matching pattern would be my last concern... i only want to ano the body anyways
