Internal and external eh. Whats the plan for 4?
 
2 x enclosed track, thin spear, single & twin rubber, as orders then one for me then one spare?
 
hi fox, do those rabitech handles have a female end? if so may i ask where did you get them and how much where they? i'm looking of a handle to make a woody with 2 16 or 18mm rubbers.

I have bought or ordered some of the components I need to build two matching 1000mm guns - not cheap!
2 x handles as above post = £60.00
2 x enclosed tracks = 80.00
10 x 8mm x 1000mm teak laminates = 38.00

Yet to buy - 2 x 6.5mm shark fin spears. approx £50 - £70.00
rubbers, glue, finishing products etc " " " £50.00


That's about £140.00 a gun!
 
Cor la, i'm in the wrong industry! £25 an hour, i didn't even get that when I was stripping! rofl
 
First step -

Reckon you need some more clamps on that mate.
 
Out of the clamps you can now see the "T" section laminates.

The first gun is progressing - a 7 degree angled slot has been cut in to the laminated stock to house the derlin enclosed track. The pics show the rest -

Mart, there’s no question you’re a master!:king
 
Thanks but it is nowhere finished yet - at the moment it measures1.3mts!
I am going to make a new teak handle & fill in the gaps around the trigger unit.
I am still debating the band set up & finished length?
