Custom aluminum block - barrel sleeve milling?

pk5 · 06-12-2008, 03:09 PM

Hi

Is it possible for you to take a raw aluminum block, drilled a hole straight through in (about 1.5" diameter) and then do cosmetic milling on the outside?

ideally, it would look flow with the phoenix body:

so that it look like the entire marker extend to the tip of the barrel instead of stopping at where the body end?

Yes it is possible. The hole s not an issue the cosmetic milling for a "one of" job like that would be very very expensive.

Hi

Are you still interesting in doing the barrel sleeve miling out of aluminum tube to mimic the proline slick barrel? If you can, please let me know so i can save up the fund for your great work.

Thanks

It doesn't seem very cost effective for me to do at this point. You would be into the barrel well over a hundred dollars and you can find one used for 20 to 35 bucks. But if you have to have one let me know.

Since that seem to be out of the question would it be possible for you to:

Take an aluminum rod ( square) twist it to produce spiral around it and then drill through it to produce a hole large enough for the barrel to go through?

It would take an enormous amount of force to twist a rod of that size. I doubt anyone here would have the machinery to do it. Not to mention the fact that the rod probably will not twist uniformly.

The hole is the easy part.

Guess i'll keep my eyes out for another solution then.

Thanks
