Thing is IL, a custom built gun like the one we are building would cost at least £400 ($800) maybe a lot more?
Does this make sense? Horribly done in highlighter and biro rofl Mostly visual rather than to do with the derlin physical properties.
This was the effect I tried to badly explain. Whether or not it is a problem is debatable of course. I would rather see the track cut directly into the wood if the tapers are used.If im not mistaken, wont this be an issue no matter what the track? the taper of the gun is always going to be exaggerated by the straight track whether its derlin, epoxy, or just a wood track... I think?
If you laminate a stock with tapered laminates, you end up with a trapezoidal stock. When you go to route the track, regarles of type (wood, epoxy, plastic, etc.) you will have to make a custom fitted block to secure the stock to before running on the router table.
In short, starting out with a tapered stock is a pain in the a$$. You're basically shooting yourself in the foot before the gunfight starts.
It's a better idea to start with a square stock, do all the machining, then taper it - makes the build much smoother.
