Just looks like it is rotated forward too far

And it seems to be very flat...any idea how to make it curve?

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

With leather, i would get it wet, curve it over some cylindrical, and strap it down for 24 hours. You could still do steps 2 and 3, just make sure the item you are curving itvover is big enough, you dont want it curving over itself.

[NitroSpartacus[501st]]

Just like Steve said, but remember whatever you use to strap it down, make sure it doesn't create lines in the leather.

[ivantam303[501st]]

Thank you bothï¼

Little question:

The barrel is held by e6000 at the moment and is not holding for long... the white pipe in the middle is broken and I have no option to hold them together... any advise? :/

Smaller pipe or rod inside that pipe connecting the two together?

the pipe rod inside the barrel that connects the two

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

I also wouldnt use e6000 for this. You want that sucker to be strong all the wat through.

[NitroSpartacus[501st]]

Is it a pipe or a rod? If it's a pipe, then you can get a rod or a smaller pipe to put inside that pipe. If it's a rod then you'd have to drill into both sides to make them "pipes" so you can do the same thing as if it were a pipe. Kind of like a threaded door knob connecting rod.

ahh Its a pipe alright., i got a 19mm metal pipe at ready but i ALMOST able to fit in the plastic pipe...

[NitroSpartacus[501st]]

Could you thread it? That way you can screw it on and off in case you ever need to break it down.

This is the metal pipe I have...

 

and this is rhe screwed up middle...the hole needs to be deeper in one end but I lack the tool to drill in and the pipe couldnt fit in the other end...

[NitroSpartacus[501st]]

Gotta find something else then.

[ivantam303[501st]]

 

Test fitted after a long while!! Still some adjustments..

[ukswrath[TX]]
