Machine Shop final project ideas

[Timmycuddler]

i need some ideas ive been thinking of making a UC kit or halfblocking and minifying my cocker body or making a one piece phantom feed. Im just asking for even more ideas from you guys

[Nitro]

one piece phantom feeds with a rail on top! ide also like to see some one start making pool ball pump handles again thows are by far the best felling over the barrel pumps ive used

[simon]

i'm going to go off on a rant here

to all the people with shops/access to machines......i can't help but think there's something else that can be done if you REALLY feel the need, other than under-cocking kits, one piece feeds, 90* grip frames and freak bored CCI barrels!

i'm sorry, but those things have been done, many times, come up with something new! and in the end......most bolt on additions to phantoms only make the marker uglier!  the only time some of these things work is when the machinest redoes the whole darn thing.......so as to not make it look bolted on!
~rant over~

i'd like to see a 1 piece trigger/frame with a slider, maybe with a humpback........... but it's sorta been done by some guy in michigan....sorta.  and the cost to make one and market it, and make a profit.....well, i'm guessing it would cost as much as a phantom.

RTR is going to release one soon

...hence why everyone does 1pc. feeds, undercocking kits, freak boring, etc...  There's consistent demand, unlike for untested new items, which may very well put a machinist into the red after tooling up for a product, only to have nobody actually buy the blasted thing.

Hb, that sounds an awful lot like the cocker threaded bodies. I understand that life can get in the way, but when a bunch of people say they'd get something were it available, there's an awful lot of not getting one when it is actually available. I'll admit to some guilt in this in regard to the round head bodies. As i said, life got in the way. But once i can get around life's financial hurdle...

nice frames ken. my choices arent that limited i can make all kinds of stuff i mean i might just do my cocker body in my spare time there cuz my teacher doesnt care as long as were learning and making chips. hopefully the new flat end mills get in cuz the schools old 2 fluters are hideously chipped. everyone and there uncle seems to be making a UC kit i agree i miss the punisher overcocking kits those were sweet making one like that would be nice

Well, I'm far from alone - Tom Kaye went through the same thing.  Everyone said they wanted another run of Z-grips, and when AGD made a batch, there were hardly any takers.  People are quick to say they'll buy, but slow to follow through.  At least the Roundheads seem to have a much greater number of people willing to buy than the Blockheads have.
