My RT Classic Project, before and after

[ottomobile]

Thought I'd throw up my latest project. This started life as a classic RT powefeed left. Here's the specs now:
RT valve with lvl 10
Luke cut down body with a vert feed mod
Luke cut ULE milled rail shortened and detailed (yes, its still gas through!)
Intelliframe with Rouge Viper trigger
Luke Sear mod
Rouge 15 degree ASA
CP foregrip
AIM clamping feed neck
CP flame drop
Duck bill
32 degrees carbon fiber barrel (yes, its an oldy, but suprisingly accurate!)

Gun weighs in at 3.5 pounds with the barrel, 3 without it. I plan on getting a ULT mod as soon as I can afford it. The paint job is 3 coats auto primer, 3 coats red flake model paint, 3 coats gloss topcoat and a Dupont teflon wax job. Here's the pics!

Before:


And After:


I made the decal myself using MS Photodraw and decal paper. If you don't get it, my name is Otto. Pretty sweet huh?!

Very neat! I wonder how much weight you could shave off the barrel on the RT. Throw it on a lathe and 30 or so minutes later it could be a bit lighter.

I really like it.

Although, i think if you left some of the classic RT elements (such as the holes in the front, and maybe the sightrail) it would look even neater


Also, i wouldnt have gone with paint -- It looks nice for paint, but anno (or for the SS body, powder coat) wouldve provided a nicer and more permanant finish.


Still, you did a great job, and it looks nice.

True, the stainless steel back more than makes up for the rest being carbon fiber. Although I kinda like the diameter. It makes a nice transition from body to barrel...

Yeah, the paintjob will probably stay on just for the fall. When I replenish my spending money its going off to KPCUSTOMS for some nice irridecent powder coating...
The original holes are all still functional ( except for the front row, they got chopped off).
The forgrip has a slot milled in it so I can slide it forward or even turn it around.
LukesCustoms does some real quality work.

I went creative and different with the one because its my second RT classic. This is my other one...

KP does some nice PC

And yes, Luke's the man, he's good with the mill (its all by hand too!)

Also, i like the 2nd classic (I'm a lefty as well )

Yup, thats the original body and valve.
Paintjob--> see first post. It looks good for photos and and is durable enough for handling but like any autopaint, it wasn't made being dropped, scratched or bumped so I don't imagine it will last long on the field. I will get PC'd eventually...

I went with macroline on the other side. I had to remove the hardline because by repositioning the ASA the hardline was the wrong length and I couldn't modify it without damaging it. But the marco line looks pretty good so I don't mind too much...

Yeah, I like the milling too. Luke hand milled it and ULE'd the front inside. First one of its kind!
