Some basic air rifle projects

(1/3) > >>

Hi, I'm new here and pretty new to machining. These are very basic compared to most of the stuff on here but it's a start. First bit is called a "butt hook" (Don't google it - you might not get what you expect!!). It fits on the butt of an air rifle. It's not finished yet as it needs the hook shortening and bending, some finishing required and some "grip" adding which I want to do by gluing some 5mm discs of neoprene rubber on the contact surface but struggling to find a small quantity of round stock.



The second bit is a hampster and is basically a way of holding the rifle by the piece of Delrin that is fitted parallel to the barrel with some adjustment in the height. Again needs finishing. I drew the handle bit in CAD, printed out and stuck it to the Delrin. I have roughed it out on the bandsaw but needs sanding to finish. I guess a CNC mill would be ideal for this as it is a mixture of curves.



Both quite simple projects but challenging enough for me. The next thing I want to look at is anodising the parts because the ally is a bit soft and will scratch too easily in use. Will post again when they are finished.

Arbalist:
You can also buy "grip tape" as an alternative to neoprene. Looking good so far.

Brass_Machine:
I am trying to imagine how the hook works and what it is used for??

Arbalist:
Have a look here Eric. The hook goes under the arm and acts as an additional contact point to support the rifle.

Thanks Arbalist. They come in all shapes, sizes and costs. These are for PCP air rifles (Daystate) but my family used to shoot smallbore .22.

The hampster works fitment is shown here...
