Recommendations for someone who does custom milling?

D animal · #1 11-18-2009, 11:58 PM

I am looking to start a custom project on my 05 ego. I want to have the entire gun extensively milled. I have looked at a number of different people and companies and decided I liked Tony at Elia Paintball's work the best. When I got in touch with him he informed me that he is currently too busy to take the project on and doesn't know when his schedule will open up. Can anyone recommend someone who is capable of work that is on par with Tony's? I am looking to completely change the lines of the gun not just mill it as thin as possible. Any info will help but pix would be great, thanks nation.

I've looked at that page already. A lot of the sites are no longer operational, but thanks anyway.

I would have to agree that this list is outdated as it is hard to get custom cnc work off that list if elia is full/busy.

Your looking for an extensive cnc mill patten to the whole body and elia was just about the only person who offered that for egos while still beeing some what affordable. I think any other shop that could do work on par with tony's best would charge more if not outragous prices.

i'd wait until tony was finished imo

I would if I at least had an idea of how long it would be. The way Tony put it sounds like it will be quite a while.

I would like to help you out but I'm pretty busy too. Get me on PM if you aren't in a big hurry. Have you considered looking locally? There is a chance a local machine shop may need the business and take it on.

Just heard back from Tony today. He said possibly after the new year so I will just wait it out. Thanks for the help guys.
