Re: The DeeperBlue.net Gun Building Extravaganza - Gun Options 5 - Track Options

If I had a copy of AutoCAD still, or a 3D modeling program....that would be the way to go...

I think with the dimensions we we started with, 50mm x 50mm, that is not wide at all for trying to notch out. Then trying to make it oval, makes it even tougher. How tall is a normal wood gun? I'm used to a Cayman that has an inner diameter of 25mm and it is plenty stiff. I don't know what thickness the wood has to be.

Maybe a half oval for the bottom and a flat top, with enough recess to make the bands 1/2 or 2/3 recessed?


*****Added 2 more rough ideas. The grid is 5mm squares.*****
*****Recesses may not be deep nor wide enough, but this*****
*****Should give you an idea of where I'm coming from *****
