Re: Best Railgun/Pipe gun handle

I've done a couple Pathos D'II handles with the upgraded Ermes double roller mech (specifically made for the D'II handle). Reaching out to Ermes directly has been my best bet getting a good price....

Re: Setup for Pathos Laser Open Carbon

I was able to buy this Pathos Laser Open Carbon on sale for $310. With the other upgrades ($70 for mech, $40 for shaft, and I already have the band rubber), the total will put me just north of $400....

Re: Setup for Pathos Laser Open Carbon

I've only been able to find Sigalsub that I can buy/have shipped to me in the US. Also, I've not found any Hunt shaft options for 115/120cm in 7 or 7.5mm. They always seem to be longer and/or larger...

Re: Setup for Pathos Laser Open Carbon

Awesome, thanks Brandon. I've not used shafts with a cone before. Do they help accuracy significantly? Any issues with penetration due to the extra steel of the cone?

Re: 2nd and 3rd Gun Builds

The next steps, let's call them machining steps. Also, when I was making the gun blanks, I made both guns the same width. I did that so I only need to change front and back stops on the router table...

Re: First gun build, thoughts and pics

Yes, a mid-handle shouldn't be a problem. And it looks like there is plenty of room for a butt pad.

Re: First gun build, thoughts and pics

It looks like the mechanism may be a little too close to the back of the gun to properly fit the trigger in the trigger slot of the handle. It will ultimately depend on the handle you are using,...
