I really like. I could spend a lot of cash on this darn thing. You should sell the parts or gun in raw aluminium since this is the ultimate in user costomization anyway so you can get that first coat of anno just perfect for each user.

brass would be easy.. shoot, any of us could do it.. tycmener.. bam bam ba...

you can see it here.the grooves will be gone on the next lower tube.I have recentered everything.That also means the autolever will be longer.

I like the looks of this a lot!

I'm not sure if this has already been covered, but is there any significant weight savings on this type of setup?

Is it just me, or could you make the tube walls quite a bit thinner?

With a little more aesthetic milling, I would want one of these for sure

Yes,the walls could be a lot thinner in places.The top tube could really be cut down because it doesn't hold any air pressure.And it could be cut real short for a half block style gun.It would be hard to do anything around the barrel end because it is already thin.
