Won't be hearing about this for a while as foxfish has some sexy beast rabitech handles. (if I don't have my threads misremembered) DOES YOUR GUN KNOW YOU ARE KEEPING IT ON THE BACK BURNER?

Patience is a virtue as I have explained to all my unfinished projects!
I am awaiting some components to arrive from (ie Teflon enclosed tracks) that will encourage me back into gun building mode.

that is another thing i didnot mention to you
i never use teflon or derlin as a material for enclosed track .
for 14 years now i use marine aluminum alloy from the local metal supermarket and with the grider you make the space for the shark fin which is the only thing outside showing
in your case is easier because you can weld the aluminum tubing direct on the aluminum body
for 5/16 shaft i use 3/8 internal diameter tubing
14 years cannot be wrong .
dont forget first you do the cut with the grider on the tubing and after the welding the tubing on the body and not vice versa
the welding can be some 4 inches spots along the body and NOT ALL THE BODY WELDING
because the heat of a full body welding will bend the tubing and maybe and the gun body to

Obviously aluminum can be used for a track but plastic is so much quieter & kinder on braided wishbones.
