New Proto Slug Body PICS!!!!

[AGD]

Here it is!! You can cut it, carve it, shake and bake it. It's big, it's ugly and it's just what you have been waiting for! The caterpillar thats waiting to emerge into a beautiful butterfly. The Sluggo Body!! The biggest chunk of ugly aluminum ever to be photographed on a pb marker. Come one come all and figure out how to cut this baby up and get rid of the uglies!

Can you say: 'EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW'?

I could say something, if any of the pictures worked.

EDIT: They work now, and I like it. The feed tube even has cute little hearts on it. I would imagine it's cocker threads, because it looks like it has the infamous extreme barrel on there.

What is the hole on the side of the body under the feed tube? Blowback? ACE? Hole for newbies to stick stuff in? Elf air hole?

hey there it is!

thats pretty cool


its everything every one wants... Will there be a factory cnc also??? also angel feed tube threading, cocker threading... guys tom is listening!!!

[spazzed]

Foshizzle! So long as there's a factory C&C, I'll be quite happy

*EDIT* Pito, it's for the elves to get in & out of the marker! DUH!!!

good way to get it to the people obsessed with milling and anno's. good job tom.

[magman007]

first suggestion, dont do any thing to flowing, that is waht the extreme is for, if people want that look, they can buy that body.......

2nd suggestion.... can you make the sleve envelop the valve? i think that looks really good on the sfl and the extreme

3rd suggestion when desinging mill patterns, try to do something with the boddy rail also

[EsPo]

wow, that looks completely.......... plain. vertical feed= ewww cocker threading= noooooooo

[magman007]

espo, didnt we discuss this already? this is what the industry wants, if you dont, stick with your current mag body, tom is coping to the industry, and waht others want, there are others out side of AO that shoot mags

[Ov3rmind]

I like it! I'm almost positive I'll get a Mag now. Chances are I'd get this body, then just thin it down and have it anodized in a pretty acid wash, yeah!

Any idea on pricing (I'm assuming cheap, since it's a small, unmilled, and unanoed aluminum tube)?

Hmmm..

Not "sluggish' enough. Why produce a slug body that requires the body rail?

Just produce a big square block of aluminum that has the holes for barrel, valve, grip frame, sear. I suppose just a blockish Extreme.

Besides that, the centerline for the feed and ball detent should be marked.

With what is shown there it looks like you'd end up with a custom marker that's heavier than an extreme no matter how you carve it.

Just in case my intro wasn't clear, this body is meant to be cut up by the end user or by aftermarket customizers. We will make them custom too, we just need some feedback from you on how to do it. Please photoshop the images and post your results.

they said the tube is cheeper because of the lathe there using, it is much easier than machining a block, also, it is cheeper, so better off for the end user

[Sinnet]

looks great tom!

just wondering, could you make a cheap (non-slug) version of this similar to a normal mag body in thickness? I know you're giving people what they want with a millable block, but would it also be possible to go completely bare-bones as a stock option?

just a word from a tube lover, don't mind me

Because this one will retrofit into all the old guns. You can just upgrade your body. Also there are different sear positions with the different rails so one body would not fit them all.
