    AKALMP Merlin ultralight body kit

    This is a certain air of mystery surrounding this body kit.

    So many details are dead on matches to the Splat Attack Revenge V2. Merlin Body, similar milling, p block rear end.

    The "Merlin Ultralight" jewel and lack of inline layout run counter to that conclusion.

    I posted pictures of this some time back hoping to learn more from the MCB collective genius.

    So, any thoughts on market value? PXL_20240712_212548294.jpg PXL_20240712_212558969.jpg

      I'm interested in this if you hit a price. I don't know whats up with the combination of parts and badges though.
      Internals initially do not look like AKA though, is a valve in it?
      Body is pretty rough.
      Need Inception Designs or Shocktech Products? Let me know!

          The more I look the weirder it is!

          It's got the milling from a V3 but the V2 sight rail
          The Frontblock of a V1/stock merlin
          Backblock is a V2
          And it's a mini like the V2/3

          My first thought was it was supposed to be a halfway step between a V1 and V2 as mini'ing a V1 would make sense as an "Ultralight" but having the V3 milling means that's unlikely. Maybe intended to be the V2's successor when the V3 layout proved a little too weird/finicky?

                  is this one pre-2k?


                  the one pictured below is:

                      What is the best method of confirmation for that detail?

                        Also measure the thickness of the bottom banjo hole to base of body. They release a few that were pre-2k with a standard spec body. One pictured above would be an example.

                        I began breaking this old girl down to clean her. The bottom tube is so lousy with old paint I can not move the hammer to take in the lug.

                                  I didn't.

                                  It moved on to another MCBer. Hopefully one with more time and ambition than I have.

                                      Gotcha. Hopefully we'll see it finished and running.
