Would the band need to be completely hidden to eliminate vibration?
I suppose a recessed track rules out the possibility of ever adding an extra band-though two bands don't really work on a 90cm gun anyway.
Think I'll listen to a bit more discussion before voting. At the moment I'd go for recessed though.
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 *****
Well, the OMER HF is almost 50mm wide. I would have to measure it though. I added another rough sketch. The top sides could be rounded over to help. It would also still move a little easier than the 80mm wide Riffe mentioned above. As I look at it closer, I kinda like it. It also goes to Pastor's original idea in the pre-poll thread. Crap, we need another idea, we can't live with Pastor having been right all along!
