Mr. right-wing 1 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hey Tony, if I wanted to put in an order on Oct 1st(My b-day, woohoo!) and the only thing I wanted diff was a 6" barrel, would that be a problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Not sure how Tony will answer, but the 6" bodyguard is a lot harder to make than the 8". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 The 6" is a rather poor choice if you want to actually shoot your gun, rather then just look at it. It is very finicky on which shells it will cycle, so you would have to test a pile of them, and then settle on the few that actually work in it. I can't thread the end of the barrel on the 6" either, so there is no way to extend the barrel after you call me to complain about the blast. The barrel is cropped off right at the edge of your forward hand. If your hand slips forward during recoil, your subsequent shot could blow your hand off. In order to cycle the gun, you have to fire heavy magnum rounds on gas setting #2. The cycling is violent and I doubt the gun will last very long before it beats itself apart. There is no warranty on the 6" model. The 8" gun works so nicely, I don't know why anyone would want to screw it all up by cutting 2" off the barrel.

jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Honesty in advertising and more words from Tony in one post than I've ever seen. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 There's a reason that the 8" is the flagship. It works perfectly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Shorter gas tube?? It's a lot more that that. The piston op-rod is so short that it comes out of the trunnion on every cycle. There are a few tricks in making it go back in the hole reliably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, OK that's clear enough, just looking for a little variety. Maybe it's time for a long one this time around... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 You already have an 8", Glocker? My apologies for not remembering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparhawk 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I am going to try and make a rail that can be easily installed (unlike the nightmare Ultimak cut-down) and most likely make it long enough that many types of sights can be added. The old Competition rail was only long enough to handle the Dr Optic size sights. Tony Tony, Any follow-up on the specs for the competition gun? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobAsh 582 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 With the current workload it probably won't happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
