You need to patent that and sell it

My instinct is that a liquid silicone gasket at the same point, but between barrel and stock, will be a game changer..... just a feeling 😂😊

I also wonder if 5 of these would be a cheap and less obtrusive limbsaver

Well, I realise this is statistically valid as a feeling in my water,  and I'm afraid I stopped just after I started due to it starting to snow....

I wanted to see what, if anything a 'tight rubber band' deresonator might do. 

Group on the right is 'without bands'... then did one on left 'with bands' ( and then, annoyingly, I packed in) ..... the left group is typical of the better groups (25%) I get with the rifle.. it was just felt odd that it happened straight after I put the bands on, and despite the weather deterioration...I know, chance... but interesting if it turns out to be repeatable

Excellent - what make of rubber bands should I use and have you considered differing rubber compounds?   😂

 

seriously,  it's an interesting outcome, I look forward to further testing

The best!  I must be on a 'node' of the postman's delivery route wrt bundle size so plenty of gathered discarded bands.  Of course the critical question is what colour band?

Just brainstorming...  silicon sheet...  cut for 1mm thick fore-end shims...

Lego wheels are the way forward !

Sako Finnfire Range. Replaced the end cap with a Lego wheel........ plenty of different shapes etc.

so you’re developing’ a version of the Hicks tuner/ Freelend forend (of 52E fame)/ ‘SmartStock’ system I.e.applying strategic pressure 😉😁 - can I do an online version of the (small cough) and refer to my earlier post 😘

 I believe Major Fulton use cork in his regulated Mk 4 rifles.

Here's someone using O rings:

Sort of.. but I'm seeing deresonation rather than pressure points  - I think the hicks thing was a hard spot aiming to change transverse wavelength? My mind is focusing on ways of reducing the amplitude  of the doughnut

I was visualising 5 all hard against each other - like a segmented limbsaver ..... ideally, they'd be sorbothane, but I think silicone will have the nearest properties for something easy to get and cheap?

16mm ID silicone tube with 2.5mm wall thickness....

Idiot check me; if peroxide-cured tube is slipped on to a blued metal barrel with silicone grease; is a rust reaction likely?
