Tradeless Metal Body

[PaCHeKo!]

Hi!

I would like to laser engrave a M4 metal body from scratch... Is there any tradeless metal body on the market?

Thank you and have a nice day!

yes there are, but good luck bringing them in to the country.
Laser engraving the bodies is "ok", but the laser only goes through the paint coat, exposing a dark grey metal...in my opinion i dont like the look.
At my shop we tried the laser and found its decent for cheap price, but we use CNC for deep engravings, resulting in a nice silver finish, or then you can fill them in with the proper paints.

back on the note of metal bodies without trades...
Systema PTW kit i believe has no trades, and if you feel like trying to bring some bodies in, there are many that come blank for real cheap.

i am currently having someone who "sais" they can bring in bodies do so, i will let you know when they are in and im sure we could sell a couple blank.

CA bodies are painted, you can easily remove the trades.

Do you have any company name that produces blank metal body? I'll find my way to bring one over here in Canada.

As soon as I can find one I'll contact you to see what is our best bet for a nice engraving.

CA bodies are painted and laser engraved. That's pretty easy to fix. I'll eventually be sending off my lower receiver to djbordie to have it sandblasted, engraved with Diemaco / CF / C7 markings and repainted.

ill look in to the blank bodies, but try googling it, i cant remember the site we found, but it was from google...cheap bodies.
We just need to make sure the paint finish is nice enough to use. If its just a crappy coat of paint id rather not even use it...i want a nice thick powder coat or proper steel with blueing or something to engrave my own body...and for the ASC when we start selling custom bodies or blank bodies.

G&P bodies are also only laser engraved. Sandblasting the body will remove all trades and paint. Then it's just reapplying a new coat of paint and adding in the proper trades.

Ebaybanned carries a few metal bodies, they refund your money if your package doesn't make it. At least thats what has happened with me and all my firends. (we all got our metal bodies though)
