Longers7 720 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi lads, done a trade with the gafer off here, I made him this hardwood chunky milbro as he didn't want a side shooter. The main part is made with ash, the palm swells are made from walnut with red micarta spacers, brass pins and brass lanyard tube. It can be used with tubes or flat bands, I also made a paracord bracelet lanyard for it. Hope you like it "Gafer" 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.338winmag 78 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Longers7 how you drilled an slotted your fork's is what i was talking about in my thread asking how to make micarta i wanted to reinforce where the holes an slots are to hope fully prevent them from cracking in the eveent of a fork hit also figured that the micarta is provably denser than wood so if the wood was sandwiched between two pieces of micarta" just the tip's now an me be a little more feathering down "mebe it would help the tubes last longer as it would cause a lower abrasion mebe?

Longers7 720 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah I'm with you mate, micarta would be better but used as a spacer . Or maybe using some 6mm brass lanyard tube and then cut through with the bandsaw once it was glued into the fork if using hardwood on the forks .I'm going to start using ally and multiplex cores with hardwood faces so that they will be much stronger. I'm going to make the gafer another catty but with the multiplex core Quote Link to post Share on other sites
