Scotch_egg Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Very pleasing to the eye. The barrel profile just looks right. It will be interesting to see what stock the new owner has chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Morning Ronin, Barrel length looks proportionate. When you say the rails 'bonded' - literally 'glued'? Is this 'the' rifle BTW? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Terry, yes its "the rifle" Bonded with high end epoxy at request of end user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Ai used to bond (and pin) picatinny rails to AW series 11mm dove tails withou problem so I guess same train of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ai used to bond (and pin) picatinny rails to AW series 11mm dove tails withou problem so I guess same train of thought. 100% ! Can't imagine having a pic rail that isn't either machined into the action, or bonded on. Makes no sense! (and, as with AI, that which is bonded can be easily unbonded - although, on a rifle of this type, other than serious damage, once 'on', know anyone 'sensible' who's ever taken a pic rail off? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Just out of curiosity what advantages are there from having the rail bonded on over drilled, tapped and screwed on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Just out of curiosity what advantages are there from having the rail bonded on over drilled, tapped and screwed on? It's bonded and screwed (I hope!) Some people go to the trouble of bedding their rails, this is no different, except the bond almost definitely takes out the possibility of 'loose rail' affecting accuracy. -Just removing another potential variable.

Malxwal Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Can I ask exactly which contour of barrel that is? *EDIT* Is it a Benchmark 8 contour ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think the barrel is a Med Palma (12) contour - it was supplied to me by the customer so im not 100% sure Rail is bonded with Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
