joelrod47 373 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Looks killer to me, Bob !!! If you'll forgive me, it's really bad-ash..........! I'm anxiously waiting to see that front-end design you talked about, too !!! See you Friday !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Turned out awesome Bob! Ya know...I think I almost see a likeness there.... You're right bro, that skull would have looked cooler with shades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I'll have it done in time for the shoot, but you never know. At least I'll have someting to show you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 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......... Tony Rumore Tromix Corp If you have any of those bayonet lugs still laying around I'd sure like to buy one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbles 23 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Wait you have a bayonet lug?! I heard that if you stick a bayonet on the end of your firearm somewhere a liberal breaks a leg/or neck depending on how cool it is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvasqu03 21 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Did you cast those yourself? For a minute I thought you'd just adapted one of those chrome skull tire plugs. Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea since it's already got the threading done and you can just buy a pack of four of them at the auto parts store. Is this what you did, or did you cast these from scratch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waterdoor 0 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 Man the only crickets I hear are the ones teasing me that the list is still not open and I may never get to own a beautiful Tromix Saiga-12. Ok guys did I lay it on thick enough?

BobAsh 582 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 cvasqu03, they are cast parts, not necessarily just for us. Casting them or carving them in-house was never an option. They're not tire caps; although I tried to source a product like that everything I saw was either chromed plastic or zinc, and much too lightweight. I really scouted all the car and Harley accessory catalogs for a while. As I mentioned before, these are solid copper. We drill and tap them all the way in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Looks good! This....... you gotta be able to weld very well to install this one. ......pretty much means I won't be able to have one . (I bet Juggs would like one with a likeness to his big helmeted head ) But I am looking forward to the bolt-on charging handle, and will be ordering it from CSS when they come in.

I've noticed that and therefore was happy when you told me that little project you're making for me was the first. Of course, I expect to see copies after mine surfaces . . . I thought the skull charging handle looks good, but I don't wanna be a valley bitch, so I guess you can count me out! But really though, it looks good! And as far as the bayonet lug, guys, I believe MAA sold their last one MONTHS ago. I think Gun Broker would be your best bet, but I still wouldn't bet on that . . . Of course, then you'd still have to find a Tromix bayonet put on it . . . Edited March 16, 2009 by Raoul_Duke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbles 23 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 How much was the bayonet lug going for? If it's around $50 I want one, if it goes closer to the $100 mark... that's the biggest problem I see with some accessories, as cool as they may be $ talks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well I paid $130 for mine but IMO worth every penny just to see the look on the guy at my local gun shops face Edited March 16, 2009 by bayonet lug Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nero999 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I am working on my first conversion and the more I read this forum, the more ideas just keep popping in my twisted little head!!! I have been considering painting the "PUNISHER" skull on my Surefire mags so I am all over this SKULL charging handle to round out the look. Sign me up for one and let me know when and where to go buy one as soon as they are ready!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
