Hi Persiko
Yes very similar to your guns, we made some carbon/teak guns last year too and that solution seemed like the only way to attach the bands to such a thin strip of wood, though I must admit our finished muzzle wasnt as elegant as yours. We adopted the idea again this time for two reasons: for the looks, it represents a cobra's head, which kept in tune with the wood comming from Sri Lanka and also and far more importantly, it positions the bands to have their centre about between 5mm and 3mm below the spear centre (depending on the elongation of the rubbers) this is we feel the ideal for a rail gun. This last concept has been screwed up a bit by the positioning of the second set but as yet they are only temporary so we will see how they fare, still waiting for the sea to calm down a bit before I can get back in
We are both looking forward to reading your next instalment about the new gun, could you drop me a PM and tell us what you think of the double rubbers, it would be interesting to compare
