Bob Long bodies

[NONOBLITUS]

Not mine and I don’t own any Spyders but thought these were cool for you Spyders guys.

That’s a cool collection for sure

The red ones go for a pretty penny as they seem to be the mist difficult to source. $450 for the lot of them is a steep price though.

$90 per body, when you have a hard time selling a complete gun for $100? The crack is flowing again.....

[scottieb]

This was listed awhile ago, for the same price. Looks as if the seller is trying again.

why does the feed neck on the red one look shorter?

and didnt kingman make millennium bodies as well...? they were both top cocking as well as side cocking iirc.

So are these.

My understanding is that all Millennium bodies were made by Bob Long but the ones intended for use in complete guns rather than upgrade bodies like these lack the side cocking slot and have a jewel nameplate instead.

so these were sold as "upgraded bodies" since they dont have the jewel cutout?

idk why but im having a hard time following what you wrote. (maybe lack of sleep)

Yes. You can see the description on the retail boxes under the bodies.
The idea is that you could buy one of these bodies for your Spyder and swap all the parts over to it.

A couple versions of the Millennium were also sold as complete guns, but that's not what these are.

The red body has a press fit feedneck. The other bodies pictured have a threaded feedneck. The curvature of the feedneck as it narrows toward the body is a dead giveaway for the threaded feedneck.

Kingman made no Millennium bodies. The bodies are 100% Bob Long. The full Millennium markers were as well.

nice. thank you guys.

i have a black an silver splash that i THINK has the jewel. and i have another gloss black without the jewel. but now i gotta take a look. either way, these were pretty cool.

always thought they would make a good template for a custom mill job since theres much metal on them.

This. There have been some neats ones. I've always wanted to do one up round body OG Spyder style, sort of a vert feed sleeper.

[Tarsun2]

those are pretty cool.
