Time for the scope mount, scope and flash hider.


Found some nice thick perspex to start with the rail, (old fire escape sign) and I got an old pool cue to chop into sections to make the screw tops, I don't know what pool cues are made from but its a nice hard wood to work with.

I found the two perfect tubes from some old mop handle and a feather duster :lol:

I am trying to make as much of it from steel as I can to give it more weight.

I also found my good old shop hover (Henry Hoover) had a good size pipe I could pinch a bit from

I added the side clamps and drilled some holes, I can put screws in to make it look like a clamp.

The flash hider is a bit more complex to make with things laying about, but I think I got it close, this is the best values I can come up with from research available.

First thing I saw was a handle of an old work bench but alas it was to small

In the end I made the end section from some left over cardboard cone from my Boba Fett jet pack nozzle, coated in resin and filled the out side..

It was very hard to get the holes all lined up as I have used no precision tooling to make any of this, its all been hacksaws, files and more files!
