Armada Bodies

[luke]

I'm getting ready to do a large run of slug bodies, the first run of bodies will be Armadas. I want one for my personal collection, anyone else interested in one?

What other bodies are you planning?

Overall that design is a bit blocky/chunky for my tastes. But I'm looking forward to seeing other future body designs from you!

No clue today, I'm not looking past the Armada at this point.

Yea, people said the same thing about the Deflator but it was actually shorter than a Micromag. I think the Armada only looks that way because it has a matching rail, both bodies are actually pretty small and no bigger than a ULE body sitting on a RTP rail.

Also, my new Hybrid Armada rais are shorter than the RTP in the picture above.

So my old Armada rail won’t line up right with the new body?

That is incorrect.

All the 9" RTP Armada rails will work whether they are the original RTP Armada or the new Hybrid Armada, the only difference is the thickness of the rails, not the design.

My old RTP slug rail design used for the first Armada rails matched the AGD RTP in height. The blue rail below is the new Hybrid slug rail.

I'm down for one. Might have to pick up an armada rail to match it.

Will they be unibodies? Or body and rail?

[luke]

These will be standard bodies and rails with Angel threaded detents and feedneck. Really the only thing I'm changing from the AGD design is the spring washer and retainer. I'm going with my stainless steel spring cup and it will be held in place with a spring clip. The Deflator bodies were a PINA in that regard, I think this will solve the problem.

Looks better without the fish tail imho.

[awo702]

I'm not sure how I overlooked this but the original body included the split over the valve.

I like the split over the valve.

These designs look pretty cool. Would you consider making any changes to this new run of them that you are doing?

I'm not opposed to listening, but understand that the rails are already done and in the hands of customers so big changes probably wont work.

[going_home]

I am just not caring for the fish tail at all.

I don't care for that to be done to rails either.

Can the top over the valve be eliminated ?

[awo702]

Sounds great! I’m ready when you are. Bring it

I'm in for one, you doing pr-order amount or full pay. Just let me know, I'll send promptly.

I now only do full pay, partial payments are a huge PITA and only slow me up.

I'll get a private order page setup to allow you guys here to get first dibs. I'll try and get it done tomorrow morning then I'll PM everyone that voted to get the project done.

Thanks

[Gundam V]

That's cool, be waiting for the pm.

Id also be interested in one without wings.

[going_home]

Ok let me know, I'll take one without the fish tail, and a rail if they are done.

Probably need sear and sear pin if you have them.

[Gundam V]

Placing my order for body and rail right now.
