: Gene_SC April 23, 2007, 01:54:43 PM
Here are some of the shrouds and brakes I have been practicing on..:) Just trying to get used to the lathe.

Has been hard getting on line the last few days.. This is my third attempt to upload these pics..:)

S1K W/Shroud and Brake......  Delrin, and PVC..

B-3 W/Shroud and Brake....... Delrin and PVC........ Also have add a Gamo 440 rubber butt plate with insert.......

RWS 34, with custom rubber butt plate with insert..

Daisy - Gamo Model 131... Delrin Brake Only

I am making these brakes and shrouds with a lathe.. I do not have a mill yet..:) Soon I hope....

All of the brakes are for esthetics only and none of them make a difference in report on air rifles..

If you have any questions, feel free to ask..:)

VERY COOL BUDDY! that's fantastic looking and I like how you did the muzzle end. I agree, the tank will look great too in the flat black. Impressive my friend and great mod. Ed

More pic's, more shroud's and more break's oh my. Gene's been a busy boy, the one with da holes in the brake is sharp!. I like how you worked the front sight's into them too. The wood on the stock of the B3 look's great and as I said before, impressive my friend, great job. Ed

No mill yet Paul, only a lathe.. Materials are Delrin and PVC.. I have purchased some aluminum now, so I can duplicate the brakes in aluminum..:)

No, I won't force you to buy a lathe... hehe.... But the price of the lathe and everything you need to make things to tolerances with make you think twice about buying one Dano...:) I won't tell you what I paid for everything but I could by a couple FX Cyclones with the money I spent just up to this point for tooling...:)

Think about that... hehe
