Hes talking about milling that isn't shown on the external of the body.

Exactly.

How much did all that fat milling cost? All the original stuff too.

Very nice. What milling does she have other than the new internal cuts? Is that JmJ? DC FSP with some custom top tube cuts? Or what?

Not that I'm one to cry about marker weight, but I bet an XSV duckbill ASA and aftermarket bolt pin would shave off a few more grams.

So she is raw on the inside now?

I guess internal milling has evolved since you first had annie done? Show us the shots of what was actually machined..before and after?

Or did you go with the robtown valve / hammer / ram and the internal milling was already adequate?

Total cost is around $1300, keep in mind I did buy it new over 4 years ago so that I could have the highest serial number other than Aaron's or Prarie's. I installed my buddy's Robtown valve cause he isn't using it (included in the cost) and Jared recently did his special extra hidden solenoid milling to augment Sam's solenoid milling on the last trip.



Basically all that is left of Sam's original milling was the top tube cut, the sides of the solenoid area, the area in front of the tray, and the ASA area(the second one but still the most extreme one). JMJ did the sides, the feedneck area, the trigger guard, and the buttcrack milling (the original). DC did the hidden tray milling, the hidden frame milling, and the extra hidden solenoid area. The bolt pin is delrin, so I doubt another bolt pin would make any difference.

Ahh... if only they were able to complete the Evil M. All that work is still pricey by today's standards and the weight savings aren't overly amazing for the cost.

I feel sad that Sam Rhodes milling recieved the boot again.

He was ahead of his time at least and everyone should give him credit for pioneering most of the extreme viking milling.

Any before shot of the solenoid area? Arent your tubes themselves thinner than a normal JMJ viking ever was?

Any idea if a buttcrack behind the vertical ASA would be possible?

Well its not like JMJ gave me a discount, even though it took them almost three months to mill my marker. Long turnaround times and high costs goes hand in hand with one off millings. Factor in all of the shipping costs to and from all of the different vendors. At least I paid less than 60% of the cost of the DCF #1 and #2. I think a 50% weight savings on the body and the frame were well worth the costs. Plus I can tell all of those who claim to have the "Lightest" Viking to STFU.

Crap, I don't know if I took any before pictures. Sam did mill the sides down originally and they are about flush with the back caps. It does seem thinner than my Streamline Vikings. I doubt the buttcrack milling in the ASA area between the ASA and the tray might not be possible due to the air passages but I could be wrong.

you may be lighter than the dcf #1 and it cost you less to build but, but, but, ah hell you win.
