    Wink New XMT Classic RT Body Style

    Well not really.

    I never liked those weird body fronts on classic RT's (or Mini Mags either).

    So I sent this XMT classic RT body to Luke and he turned the front into an RPG Exile body.

    So what in the world do we name this body ?

    XMT Luke RPG body ?

    Holy tabernacle thats too long !

    XMT GH body ? Thats just dumb, I give up, someone give it a name.

    Hopefully Luke kept the dimensions in case someone else wants one done.....






    Next is anodizing, black of course.

    I've always felt the even ule bodies were too long, that's why most of my mags bodies are chopped down, I would love if luke would offer this service but even take that exile looking body lip off and make it just like a pariah body

    For that remark you're going to be poked by the Gardner's with ptichforks for all eternity when you die. How dare you question His creation?

    Ironic the difference in outlooks. I'm going out of my way to design a non banjo bolt rt around the styling lines of my beloved classic rt.

    This does look nice though and I'm glad the owner likes it.

    All that stuff in the front is good for its scratching your barrels up.

    If it wasn't for all the holes in the front where wound you stick the weeds and leaves for camouflage? Really what kinda sniper are you if you don't spend 30 mins crawling through the brush wearing 40 lb.s of ghilli suite and 1/2 a forest with you in 95* weather? LMAO.

    Since you've posted this twice I assume you have had issues with minimag and rt bodies? My dye ultralite looks almost as clean today as it did back in the late 90s. Don't think there is a scratch on it from the classicRT vented front.

    First and foremost I had this done to the body because in my humble opinion the RT and Minimag fronts are just plain ugly.

    Second this will lighten it some, probably not enough to notice , but just an added bonus.

    Third, of course you would be hard pressed to hurt a twist lock barrel, but if you slide a dust black or nicely anodized cocker barrel down that tunnel enough you will scratch it, just a matter of time.

    I guess to each his own.

    I had what I thought was a good idea, and now that it's a reality I do really like it.

    Now to get it anodized.

    Waiting for FX to get back to me.

    Apparently he's been under the weather with kidney stones for a few days.

    I actually like the look of what was done, I just like the original look more. It's one of the main reasons I own an RT over an X-valved mag.
