Nice to know there's so many people interested in this; I really want to have it made only problem is as stated before, is my struggle to find a good machine shop. The last shop I found didnt have a CNC mill for the grip frame and front block so if anyone knows a good reputable shop I'm all ears. Also as for TeeTwo . . .

As long as you don't try to sell the system and use it personally, you should be legally safe. We all know how sue happy this industry can be though, god forbid we see advancement by individuals like yourself. Keep up the good work

Well because I can't find a machinist I was thinking of some other ways to make a prototype; and I came accross "styrene" (plastic board) while I was at Hobby Town USA today so I picked some up and im going to see if I can use it to build a plastic model of my front block design, and I should be able to use it for testing because my design does not have ports in it for the LPR/gauges it just holds the ram and the 2 3-ways. If all goes well i'll atempt to make the grip frame as well, then go back the the first machine shop I found, and have them make my LPR adapter.

This is a platform we never really got off the ground and in terms of innovation it was a F-22 entering WWII airspace.

You aren't taking pre-orders for anything, trying to make a buck on something we made famous nor are you trying to create a blatant knock-off and replicate the original model (unlike some people out there), all that would do is de-value the brand and piss off current owners.

We applaud your efforts good sir on this one... From one Reflex owner to another: make us proud!

****If you need parts let me know.

Well if you ever get the opportunity to get your hands on a Reflex Kit, you will understand nothing can compare to the badass factor of the monster front block and the look on people faces when they can't figure out wtf it does or what it is, thats kinda why I wanna build something like it, but make it so you can get w/e after market parts for it that you want for example two 3-ways of your choice along with the LPR and ram; which in the end is simpler . . . if it works thats is.

Heres the front block mock up using the styrene. After I got this done I've come to the conclusion that its a tad to weak for testing but at least I know I can sqush everything together on a normal sized block with no issues other than having to remove the barbs on just one 3 way.

As of right now in that picture its just scewed into the mock up, but in the final product it'll screw into a custom banjo.
