BobAsh 582 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I finished fabbing it up this morning, shot over to the Tromix shop and Tony welded it up for me. Fortunately he was running a set of Shark Brakes through the oven, so I was able to get it Moly Resined today, and here it is. You guys get the first look! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobAsh 582 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 It's threaded on, you can make it face anyway you want. Actually I haven't loctited it yet, but I'm probably going to face it out like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bayoupiper 738 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'd love to put that on mine! But they frown on that sort of thing on an entry weapon........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 What's the story on this one Bob? Also, just wanted to add, everytime I see a close up of a Tromix gun I find little attention to detail stuff that sets them apart from most builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm going to run off a batch of them and see how they sell. If the thing has some staying power, I will make it a stocking item. But my gut feeling is, a few guys will buy them and that will be it. It will end up like the Tromix paradox choke tube, Tromix bayonet lug, Tromix AK74 brake, etc......all sorts of guys say they want one, until they are available, and then you hear crickets chirping.........

kevins7189 1 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I had something like that on a paintball marker back in the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 It's going to production.....don't worry about that. I will run off 50 of them and see how they sell. If I end up sitting on them for months on end, that will be it. If they all sell in a month or two, I will make more. Gun guys are the ultimate valley bitches.....they always look both ways to see if other guys want something.....and if other guys want it, then it's a must-have item. If they look both directions and no see that no other cool guys want it.....then it must be crap and they walk away. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) When I designed it, I really didn't have production in mind; just a little something different for my shorty. Once it was done we all liked the way it looked, so why not produce it? The skull is cast in solid copper and the charging handle stud is threaded into it all the way to the top. It's extremely solid. Edited March 16, 2009 by BobAsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony's probably right; it probably won't be a huge seller since it's not a bolt-on item. Might be good as a Tromix option. Also might sell well to other builders...you gotta be able to weld very well to install this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
