Nova Phantom Duckslide kits

[XEMON]

Once you add the cost of sending it out to a proper machine to try to fix some of the issue, then polish it enough for and the actual ano cost, they're not that competitively priced anymore ... And you still have slop and miss-drill ...

I gotta be honest, they do really good put together…

They were saying this would be a phantom threaded barrel hence my skepticism.

Honestly if it took the slop out of the slide and was a reasonable length for a pistol. They would still need to make a roundhead fit the slide. Their products are competitively priced. I think a Docs freak Bull barrel would look better especially since it’s not ported so it will sound cool.

Unless they make a Phantom threaded version of there barrel. It will have to be a bit goofy at the back to fit the current slide design.

Maybe I'm just being cynical, but this screams cash grab to capitalize on our mistake.

^ that sounds like it would be a perfect setup. I have a round body sitting around. I may have to pick up a v2 and send it off to someone to get the fit and finish up to snuff.

[Lt. head-shot]

True, good point. I mean I need a roundhead too, so it’s not like this is happening any time soon

[$L!mBo]

personally, i would just ask a third party for any additional work.

[Lt. head-shot]

I wonder if Nova would be willing to give us the option to have them bored out completely for a roundhead/bull barrel setup

[$L!mBo]

there is definitely enough material there to make room for a roundhead.

[Chuck E Ducky]

That’s probably why the Bull Barrel is a lil tight. Humm

barrel-body not the same bore. close but the barrel is tighter slightly

[$L!mBo]

for sure possible. theres definitely enough meat for it

@JonM
it had to do with their tooling.

I’m thinking Docs barrels will work if the bore of the slide is honed out a lil. But the issue is they are cocker threaded.
So you would need to clearance the slide so you could fit the round head ASP body into the slide. It currently won’t fit because round heads don’t taper at the threads due to the OD of cocker threaded barrels. Should be a simple fix. Docs makes his barrels in both xL and standard freak. I’m sure we could have the tips made to any length we want if we ask. His longer ones he sells now could be cut down super easy. They are unported too so you might get a lil more efficiency out of them for 12g play. Should Give you a cool sound sig out of it and look good with a fat barrel poking through. It would take the slop out of the slide to since it rides on the barrel.
