ScottieShootz Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 beautiful blaster Kingman! To be honest, the "new style" they are building looks wise is horrendous with the slide cuts some of them have with the awkward compensator style. Your custom slide cuts match that compensator/long dustcover perfectly and it looks awesome. The real question, how does it balance for you with the added weight out front? I've moved all my weight to the grip area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Hated the long dust cover look when I started my build but I ended up going with it because it's different and worst case I'll have it cut back later if I really hate it. (I don't think it's going to make a huge difference with it that long vs cut to where the slide ends) To the op, looking back I wonder why you're so special I started my build 2 weeks before you?..? I'll start another one of these threads when mine comes in. Edited December 20, 2016 by Shmella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shipped them 8 so far and have another batch heading to them this coming week. I wasn't sure about the balance at first, but just picking it up at the store it felt really good. I'll have it out thursday night for a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I did have a chance myself to shoot one of their builds before putting a deposit down on mine and it felt really balanced. Definitely did not feel front heavy and although I only had a few moments to feel it and shoot only a few rounds through it, i do not think the long DC will be a disadvantage by any means.

Kingman Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Ok, update on the new open gun. It came out of MD 7 day jail today. I took it to the Machine Gun Nest in Frederick to shoot their weekly match. So no rounds through it except for the test firing. I walk into the match and fire 3 shots to check the sights, I adjust the sight a hair to the right and low and behold 3 more shots and go ahead and shoot the match. So the first stage I load and make ready and proceed to shoot the match. The gun runs like a raped ape. Everything worked just perfect as expected. I used some tuned SVI mags that I had from a previous gun with new springs in them. Out of the 100 round indoor match I had 0 jams, 0 anything that was odd. I also have to say the added front weight along with their comp and barrel ports is super flat, and soft. My last open gun was an SVI, it was very flat, but harsh in the hand. This gun is every bit as flat, but much softer in the hand. I have some videos I will post later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter567 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 So what is it called? Does it have a name? Or when someone asks, you just call it an Atlas Custom? Did it start as something else and they customized it? Or what? Hope these aren't stupid questions. I'm just not familiar with this company and I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYea good questions... I saw their working a little today on Instagram. I figured I'd call shortly after Christmas once they're back working full time...I know they do full customs, they have a steel grip mid length starting at 43-4500... one of their more recent posts on Facebook said it was closer to 5. Thinking of just asking for "one like in that photo". HahaSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have no name for it. But it does deserve one I guess. It is a full build from them. It's on an STI frame and they built it from the ground up. They will have their own frames shortly. Currently they are using Phoenix Trinity and STI for now. A gun exactly like this would be 5200. It has a custom spec slide milling which was amazing. They sent me online CAD images as they were designing. It also is stroked and has the titanium comp. they will have a "standard" open gun that will price out just below 5k ready to rock.

Garmil Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 how much does it weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspiess24 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Nice, I really like the cuts in the slide. A couple of local guys picked up Atlas's at the end of last year and I have heard nothing but good things about the work they are doing. Definitely looking at getting one in the future.

I was using a limcat, had some binding issues on the PT grip. Just got an alpha X this week. It is very nice. I will weigh it shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
