AKALMP Merlin ultralight body kit

[coyote]

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?

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.

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?

And look at the jewel!

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.
