Thank you Rick. I think they're coming out nicely too.

Rob, not a lot of progress on it. I have the large castings for the work table done, one roughed out and the other ready to go on the "big" mill when time allows. Looking forward to getting it done so I can play with it some over the winter.

Cleaning up some little jobs, FTP for 13xx, 22xx/disco fill in stainless and a couple 22xx stock mounts in 4140.

Also some work on a match plate. Name plates for our little Boler trailer...1969 never came with them and they're hard to find. They are going to be a challenge with the small bits in the letters. Believe the originals were die cast.

Al, what stock is in your pic. I like the cheek rest.
Thanks

Thanks, Al, I just might grab one of those, especially if I can find a cheap buffer tube to go with it....

He does bring a smile to my face, Mr. Bob

Kind words, thanks guys.

Will see how the spacing on the 4-40's matches up then finish the rest of the run.

Merry Christmas. :-)

Since it is a hybrid and built for both the 22xx and 17xx formats I have no worries, Senor Al

A 13xx barrel band of the same material is what I am watching out for, sir

I have been working on the fixtures for that Rick...and the design. Still a work in progress, but "proving" the fixtures this morning resulted in a rough prototype/teaser.

Thinking I'll end up using a grub screw on either side to secure the band to the tube plug...similar to an older qb band.

We never discussed whether you were looking for something with or without a front sight.

Aha!

What a beauty

Yes, 2 extra holes near the cross pin (aka Mr. Gary/Wyoman mod) would make it more structurally stable, Mr. Al

Also a tapped and threaded hole to secure the barrel upwards like the Blue Fork/Chavka barrel bands.

I am not a big fan of front sights, sir!

Looks cleaner, IMHO

I have 2 of Mr. G's AR adapters, the 2nd one is still in transit and may take a few more weeks to arrive, and I can say that he does my bien machining

Beautiful finish with very tight tolerances it fits like a virgin---always feels like the very 1st time when I fit it in

Mr. G, does your creation double as a plug as well as a barrel band?

It appears to be that way, which is ingenious, as one might choose to free-float the barrel

Gippeto · « **Reply #113 on:** January 09, 2021, 02:16:11 PM »

Hi Rick,

It should have arrived by now. The tracking number shows Edmonton as the last scan on Dec 24th. I'm not sure they will be open today (may have to wait until Monday) but I will contact customer service and see what can be done. Either way, I'll look after you.

Regarding the fit....all I have is

lol

The band is two piece, so you could use the one piece as a tube plug if you wished to. It does not have the "step" up to the tube od that purpose built plugs have though...so would not be quite as appealing to the eye....IMO.

Regards,
Al

Rick67 · « **Reply #114 on:** January 09, 2021, 02:29:35 PM »

Yes, Mr. G., I see your point regarding the plug's "undercut"

Don't worry too much about the adapter, sir, as all couriers seem to be in the same dilemma.

She is on her way to Papa Rick for some lovin'

Rick67 · « **Reply #115 on:** January 14, 2021, 01:57:29 PM »

Mr. G, she is now here in Abq. 🤓

I have about 4 items I am expecting, the most expensive being almost $400 (a fully-adjustable rimfire Minelli stock), but this freakin’ AR adapter is which excites me the most 😝

The Cerakoted grey Guntec Minimalist AR stock for it is now out for delivery, btw 😝
