Seeing as no company wants to take the risk to go and make a new e-cocker with modern electronics, I've always thought that slapping a e blade on a inception FLE body would be the closest one could get. Anyone try this before?

The only issue I see with it would be if you decided you wanted to install an eye. I don't believe there to be enough meat to the body both for the harness nor for the cover.
There was a revision from the first gen, I want to say the frame side mill got narrower? There was a small lip with the early one and the frame. Might be worth checking on that for the blade. -
That was the only problem I saw, I've never really held a FLE in person so I have no clueComment

Someone did this. 3D printed a new right detent cover. Converted the detent into an eye. Used a Sci-Fi board. It was sick.Comment

I had a feeling someone has, and turning the detent into a eye makes more sense then trying to drill a new hole in a body that's already super thin and pretty expensive. I've never built a e-cocker but doing something like that seems like once its finished it would be stupid funComment

Just throwing my 2¢ in here... A mid-block design is really the “optimum” way to get an eblade durable in the long run. Back block weight inertia will eventually strip the block on fast repetitive use. During the uncapped age back blocks where notorious for stripping out. Eblade specific models try to minimize that weight as much as they can, but sleds moving only 2/3 a bolt is less weight. Ryan Jamison mills some pretty “tubed out” mid blocks and midgets.Comment
