Doopydoo full resin E-11 scope rail

[Wiggleplum]

Hey everyone,

 

I just put in my order for a full resin kit from Doopydoo, and was wondering what some of you have used for your scope rail.

 

Thanks!

Just built my Blaster, and its awaiting painting. for the Scope rail I bought a strip of 2mm Steel (20mm wide) from a local DIY store. I then used a dremmel and a vice to make the rail. I was going to use Alumininum but was a bit worried about it sagging as I could only get 2mm.

Go to the metal yard fence section of your home store. In this area, you will find support bars (usually displayed vertically in a tube) that get woven into the fencing to give it support. They are about 5/8" wide and 1/8 thick.

I got a small farm and found a rusty reeeeally old car license plate with a good thickness. Its weird, but once I started looking, I started to see stuff that would work everywhere; stuff I never thought of earlyer.

I got a piece of steel 1/8" at ace hardware.

Thanks for the tips everyone. Also, what should I use for the spring?

 

Thanks again,

Michael

wrap some copper ground wire from coax electrical cable around a piece of 1" pvc. you have to look at photos of a real sterling to get the proper spacing and

angle, and number of loops.

 

I use 3/4" x 1/8 aluminum flat bar from lowes. for sightrails.
