Can these be made in a rtp style rail in am/mm length?
Yes, no doubt
Maybe, depends
No, not interested

That's the plan.

Slugs are done so we can commence with this project.
After reviewing the design we're going to have to make some tweaks to smooth out some small details.

Worked my butt off the last two days and completed 2 Armada rails, we have an RTP and AM/MM rail, both 8 inch in length.
Both can be pump milled.
Pump and non pump will be ULE milled.
Foregrip mount holes (of course)
Tomorrow I will design fixtures and work on the programming so we can get a thread up in the dealer forum.
I'm pretty stoked with the rails, I hope we can sell a batch.
good work

Pretty sure that I want one of these, if you ship to Sweden? Waiting for the pictures.
Sweden is no problem..
Currently cutting fixtures...
Shoulda built a stop into it
I like to center the part in the vise. These rails are 9.1" long, vise is 6" long.

I knew I was going to end up with a response like that from you Luke. The second I hit 'post', I was doh!
lol, What, was that NOT what you wanted to see?
I'll keep my eye open for the dealers thread, or my inbox...
makes sense for the rtps
I have a variety of different style 'bolt on stops' in this case it's not worth the effort or materials to design them into the jaws.
very interested, I would pick one up immediately upon their release
I hear ya
Ive made countless sets of soft jaws for heavy production, usually I can only design a stop into them if I luck out and the part is shaped appropriately, just saves a few minutes in setup
Plus I have had external stops move on me more than once
But for what your doing, your on top of it
You guys should post some pictures up. Please?
When the prototypes are made I will post pictures.
Update:
Been busy on this the past 2 days (and nights ) Designed and machined more fixtures for the second operation, and was able to program the AM Armadas (pump and non-pump) they are ready to be test cut.
I'm zapped tonight so I'll try and do the RTP programming tomorrow.
Almost there...
Which body do you guys think will match the Armada rail the best?
Wonder what a Chord V2 would look like on it ?
Pending a price, I am interested in an AM/MM length one.
How about rt length? Look sick on my retro. Price would b the factor
