      Yeah, I realize costs would be high. $100+ is pretty ludicrous, but I get it.. In the absence of inventory gouge like there is no tomorrow. That said, my only other solution would be to hit up a local machine shop which I doubt would be cheaper so that limits my options.

      As for the feedneck I'm really just looking for something shorter than stock that has ICD threads. My understanding from my searching was the feedneck threads were different than other manufacturers. Being the internet has become the misinformation highway that may however be incorrect.

      The one currently on there is about 2 inches tall where I'd like to drop it about an inch.

        If you go with a simpler design, i.e. take a stock vert and ask them to make it bent, that might actually be cheaper. As i won't sell any of my zeni verts.

        The feednecks are ICD threads. CCM, AKA, Empire and CP, when they state ICD then the threads will fit. You can sometimes use AGD threaded feednecks, but it is really hit or miss. Some fit nicely, some you get 1 turn on the thread and that's it.

        So hit me up on anything you may need. You never know what i am willing to sell.

          Not a bad idea actually. Not sure what that would look like (Maybe a bit too cobbled together) but I'd be willing to take a crack at it. Hell, if it's cheap enough and I could get enough people interested I could have them do a small run. Lot of moving pieces there though...

          Wheels turning... *pop* *crackle* *fizzzt...*

          Probably more grief than it's worth.

            The easiest way is to have a stock vert cut and the vert screw, redrilled to maintain perpendicular to the body and have a new oring groove cut. Might be easier to start fresh instead of hacking but, price it out with a local machine shop. They may just do it cause it's different.

            I highly doubt that you would find enough people for a small run. You would need to look at numbers like 25 or 50 units for it to be profitable on your end and on the potential buyer's end. But i have a different idea. I could talk to someone that might be able to 3D print a few. Other than the CAD time, just being able to order as needed(plus i would take a couple, because its my idea) would save on costs. If you are really interested in that(as well as the ability to colour them instead of black, clear and nothing else except re-anno). I have some vert screws and orings. Won't be able to do a pressure gauge port but they look ugly, IMHO.

            Also, i have oring kits and a few other ICD parts. So LMK what you think.

              Well, that's just it... I'm not looking to make a profit. I'd just get enough people together that want them, determine costs and then split the expense. Anyone interested would just have to pay their own shipping after the initial cost. I contacted my local machine shop and I'm looking into seeing what it would cost. they do a lot of one off parts for local race teams. It may or may not be feasible in terms of cost but I won't know unless I dig a little deeper.

              I'm out of town on business for the next week so I likely won't know much until I get back.
