Micro ATL G3 and G4

[nfetterly]

I'd like the black oxide screws on my brass light. The aluminum light can stay with the SS. Thanks!

All set, thanks!

Thanks for the update, Curt!

I can't decide on the screws yet, let me think about it for a bit and get back to you

Thats a good Update right there.

464 Naval Brass you say. Sounds like a Movie or TV show name.

I can just hear it by that Movie voice guy: "Naval Brass: staring Caitlyn Jen" She started on the bottom and worked up to the Top Naval Brass"

Thanks for the update. I am still at bit bummed I missed the G3, but I am pumped about the G4. Thank you!

"464 Naval Brass" does have an interesting ring to it. Thinking more along the lines of ScarJo for the lead in the flick though :naughty:

No problem!

One concern I had was that the shoulder for the countersink on the screws would be different than the stainless screws so I ordered from two different sources. One came in dead on the other would require a different countersink angle. Long story but my point is I can set the countersink up the same and put which ever screw you decide to go with just before shipping.

Thanks!

Alright, alright, look what just showed up!!

Have to admit I was hoping for them to show up around 5pm not 8pm but I'll see what I can do!

Those just the brass ones?

Looks like it to me too.

Can't wait for the copper!

And the tag line is of course, "Our 464 Naval Brass will kick you in the a$$!"

I didn't have a chance to get it on the buffing wheel and holy smokes this stuff is hard!! But daddy likey!!

I really like the way this brass looks and hard to put a finger on it but it just has a better feel to it than the other brass.

I'm afraid the "mirror" polish was pretty rough after the waterjet got through with it and pretty much history after I machined and de-burred, so were back to the original "brushed" finish. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Those just the brass ones?

Afraid so guys. Complicated story but we're fitting these small (relative to the waterjet shops primary business) runs in when the machine shop can schedule it. And when I say "small run" there is still a substantial minimum order. So, the aluminum run paid for the brass run and the brass run will pay for the copper run.

Made a good start tonight but I'm afraid that getting the parts in this late is going to rule out being able to ship any lights out on Friday but look for them to start shipping early next week.

Thanks!

P.S.

"Our 464 Naval Brass will kick you in the a$$!"

Yes it did! Did I mention this stuff is crazy hard? haha

They look awesome! You can make both of mine brushed.

 

[KuanR]

I like the look with the stainless screws and I don't mind a brushed finish if it's too hard to polish it out

 

[magellan]

I'm quite happy to have the brass for now to complement the aluminum I already have.

 

[Light11]

It looks great,brush finish is a winner!

 

[sunny_nites]

Thanks guys, this is a nice looking formulation for sure!!

Sorry but I didn't make that very clear in the above note. I can still do a polished brushed finish or just a brushed finish, same as before. I had thought that I could offer a mirror finish on the 464 brass but It doesn't like that is going to be an option.

Lets do this, if you want to change the polished or non polished option on your light, send me an IM and I will update your order. If I don't get an IM, I will assume that you are sticking with your preference for polished brushed finish or brushed finish only.

Sound good?

Thanks!

 

[magellan]

Not sure I've had a brushed finish light yet, especially in brass, so I gotta try one.

So I'm fine with the brushed and the stainless screws.

 

[Light11]

To clarify brushed finish on mine too

 

[sunny_nites]

magellen - Light11 - Brushed it is!

Thanks!

 

[sunny_nites]

Had a chance to get this new brass on the buffing wheel and can show you what I mean by a "polished brushed" finish.

Side by side comparison with brushed and polished brushed:

464 brass is new to me and gotta say, I like it, I like it alot! Gonna be a couple of these in my corral for sure.

If you want to change how you want the brass finished on your light, let me know as soon as you can. Plan on getting well into this run over the weekend.

This is what I have as of now:
nfetterly - polished
str8stroke - brushed
light11 - brushed
KuanR - polished
arewethereyetdad - polished
MMM0r - brushed (haven't heard back from you yet. If you want a Micro ATL G4 in brass, let me know)
magellan - brushed
Zoran - brushed

Please let me know if I missed anyone or if you want to make any changes to the finish on your light.

Thanks!
