For those of you who were asking me for pictures (and those who were curious what an unmilled 2.2 Mephisto body looked like) here she be. #2087. I plan to make this the most tricked Mephisto in existance (maybe only second to the LCD Mephisto, if it still around......maybe).

As of right now, I have already started to work out the machine marks in the body. Once I finish polishing it (as well as several of the small scratches and dings) its going off to Voplex machining (where my step father works) for a second detent and have the grub screw holes drilled and tapped to 10-32. After that, it goes to Free Flow for a new anno job. The rest is a secret for now.

Enjoy!

A profile shot.

Notice there are 3 windows on the site rail (instead of 2 on a regular mephisto) and that the body lacks the 3 "gills" milled into the side of the body. Its also worth mentioning that the body slot runing along the center of the body is much longer; it runs from the very front to nearly all the way to the back.

eww....those pictures are a bit blury....

The others tapped to 10-32 so they will be easier to remove and less prone to stripping if I ever have to remove them again (which I don't forsee, but who knows what will happen in a year)

I just got an Unmilled 2.2 mephy myself. Still not sure what I want to do with it.

BTW: Whenever I try to look at an attachment, I got a Forbidden error that says i can't access attachments.php
