AKA has announced they will be selling Merlin body kits that will include a new round body milling and inline slider. They will be premiering these at Paintball Festival held at Three Rivers Paintball in Freedom, PA on August 5-7. Eileen also mentioned that these will be available through the website shortly after. The initial run will be 12 body kits, and will be mini p-block bodies with inline sliders. Additional runs will include a variety of full length bodies, 2k back blocks, and wire and standard cocker style detents.
Update: I just got off the phone with Larry and he mentioned he is hoping to make these available at sub $500 price tag, although if machining time is longer than predicted they may be slightly higher. They will include the milled body, valve, front block & banjo bolt, back block and frame with internals. They are not available for pre-order yet and will not be available for sale until after Paintball Festival (yup, I tried).
Einfach nur SCHÖN :rock:A slight update to those pics guys, the body isnt what is being shown, its a v2 le body hes using to install the parts onto. The focus of those pics was on the frame and frontblock. The body thats available will "...be more rounded and more cuts..." I cant wait to see it!
