What is the best way to cut ASA threads and what size are they? I have read a 1/2-14 NPS tap can work, but wanted to hear from someone who has probably done it a bunch. I can either thread mill them or use a hand tap (no rigid tapping capabilities yet).

The spec is technically 0.825"-14 NGO (National Gas Outlet.) Yes, a 1/2"-14 NPS (National Pipe Straight) will work, but you'd be better off milling them if you can.
Somewhere around here I actually have a proper engineering drawing of an ASA, but I found it online, so I'm sure a little Google/Bing/Ducking can dig it up. Maybe ZDSPB?

What's the silver (raw?) rail on this mag on your website?
Is it something you made? I dig it quite a bit.

Yeah, I don't always like it myself, but this is one case where I'm firmly on the side of better safe than sorry.
