Make a tuner?

I like the idea of a tuner and I think I saw something like this will end up being a long time ago...and having found a ridiculously cheap micrometer barrel on fleabay...I'm gonna try and make one. It will clamp to the muzzle and hang there.

I'm thinking a .875" bore and a corresponding register on the end of a HV contour barrel. The micrometer barrel will actually be behind the muzzle to keep oal of the rifle reasonable with it installed.

Got the billets cut this am...more to follow.

How much does the thimble on the mic weigh? Thats the only part that moves right and thats the part that matters? Your tuner may be different but i need about 4oz to move to work for me on a br barrel
That was a good question Dusty, so I just weighed it...2.6oz...I could add weight to the barrel/stem eventually...but I do have an inch of travel too. Think I'll try it first, but that's something to keep in mind, thanks.:cool:
 
The hole is fitted to the stem...and a bonus was discovered once clamped onto the barrel...the micrometer stem now has even more friction...plenty I believe. Ready to test!
