LET EM GROW Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I got a wild hair to build a new saddle mount for holding firearms that dont have MLok and Keymod Handrails, AKA Standard hunting rifles etc.. And still sit on a ball head or Leveling Base of a Tripod of some sort to have full range of motion.. The Arca on this application is bolt on. The next one I will make will be machined directly into it, as one piece. I just need to find somewhere that can black anodize if they aren't to expensive 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosB Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Very nice. I made something similar from a modified aluminum cabinet face frame vise. Not nearly as refined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could dip it after the anodizing, but the anodizing help promote, protect and slightly strengthen the aluminum. Kind of like a case hardened machine screw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I have a cheap synthetic stock on one of my 22-250 predator rifles. So i made a direct bolt on application of an arca plate for my tripod setups yesterday .. made out of Delrin and to fit the bottom contour of my stock exactly .. notice the tapered radius Edited January 12, 2022 by LET EM GROW 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not allow bang sticks or components in the buiding or else Id be doing some really fun stuff! Starting to machine chokes now.
