New 257 assembly

The problem with breech risers is that they need to thin out towards edges. Either you shape them mechanically (been there, done that) or you save some time using the plexiglass method described above. It should work with most plastics once you figure out the temperature where it gets soft but not melting.

Baker Airguns has riser kits.

Baker Airguns has riser kits.

Maybe, maybe not. They show an easter sale, however, ever single category I selected from they're menu other than airguns, gave no products found. Kinda looks as though they are about to close the doors.

I don't know about closing doors. I just think their website is unorganized. I think using the search function is more useful.

Their riser kits are specific. If only I have a 1.25 ballnose end mill. I would make one for the marauder.

The breech riser kit is in parts and supplies under breeches. Their website works fine for me on my windows 10 desktop pc and android phone both using the Firefox web browser.
Here is a link to it

Try one of these....



Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper than a ball end mill, and the carbide works fine for plastics, aluminum and brass.... I use one for my aluminum receivers....

Thanks Bob ,that’s exactly what I was looking for . Now I’ll have to finish my XYZ axis table for my lathe .

Good thinking Mr. Bob! should be just the ticket for alu, and resharpenable with diamond wheel.
I've used masonry carbide tipped bits in a pinch to drill hardened steel. Masonry bit, low cost. Carbide bit for hardened steel. Very expensive. And the steel cutting carbide bits are extremely brittle.

I don't know what the issue was when I went to Bakers. Everything I looked up said "Not In Stock", Or product not found. I was using their menu and search. Neither found anything other than guns and tidbits.

Maybe baker was having some trouble with their site before I looked for the riser.

[KnifeMaker]

Could very well have been the case.

Well in all the excitement here for the last few weeks , I had completely forgotten my project . That is until this showed up in the mail .  So far I’m pretty happy about how it is turning out . The stock has a few rough spots around the grip area ,but nothing a wet sand can’t fix . It has some pretty good ergonomics and the length of pull seems to fit my long arms just fine at full extension of the but pad . I’m not a huge fan of how the disco has only one stock screw som I’m going to have to look into fixing that . The other thing is my barrel band problem , brass just doesn’t look right with the other parts and the laminate stock . I hope to be shooting this one soon .

Birchwood Casey makes Brass Black that would fix you right up.

I owe you one . I’ll have to get some ordered up . I can get more of these brass barrel bands but the old OEM black aluminum are next to impossible to find .

That’s what I mean but I need the barrel band from an AR207x because I have my barrel sleeves to 15mm. I actually tried to open up a disco band but it didn’t work out too good .

[robertr]

 I figured that was to easy.
