New Product Idea

[urbanrifleman]

I am thinking about making picatinny rail adapters. I need a standard 4" hole spacing for my rifles and they do not exist. I have had many people ask me about an adapter for the Anshutz rail to picatinny or an adapter for a 40x stock slot to convert it to picatinny.

 

[urbanrifleman]

It turned better than I had hoped. The rail is super strong and hard as a rock.

 

[urbanrifleman]

I even torture tested it a bit as I got the bipod mount crooked and cranked it down and it barely left a mark.

I just wish someone made a short piece of rail with an oval or half round bottom that would mount to the bottom side of a short double barrel shotgun to mount a streamlight or laser. I've seen one and never been able to find one.....

How would you attach it?

 

[farmerjohn]

The one I saw was just#6 or 8 machine screws to the rib holding the barrels together. It would be easy to take an indexing punch and mark the location and drill and tap the rib wherever you want it, the one I saw was just ahead of the forearm and you could operate the thumb switch on the back of a streamlight with your fore finger, plenty close enough to the center of the pattern for short shotgun work. Older sheriff I know has one on a old 311 Savage 20 ga with 18" barrels and 3" #3 buckshot, say's he has more faith in his ability with it than his handgun in high stress situations...

I would love to have 3 screws in a short piece, use marinetex and glue and screw it.

I accomplished the same thing by using anschutz rail spec T-nuts to back a picatinny rail. Cost me about 7 bucks for the nuts. Similar to http://www.altiusguns.com/product.php?product_id=21282

Had to do that to get a bipodext onto a buddy's rifle. <yoda voice> like a charm it worked.</yoda>

Kind of lost here, don't see how to attach the t-nuts to the smooth concave rib on the bottom of the double Barrels...

There are few blowouts I can see in the pictures. I did not see them in person but you can clearly see them in the pictures. Hmmm...

Silver solder a steel rail to the rib. Make sure the guy knows what he's doing.
I would first make a fixture to hold it centered and tight.

 

[farmerjohn]

The one I've seen is just a simple 3" long picitinny with a bottom that fits the underside of the double barrel, it doesn't have to be as precise as a rifle. Your talking a flashlight beam and a 6 or 8 in pattern at 20 steps.... I know somebody makes them because the sheriff said he bought his"somewhere" and of course he doesn't remember where...

I may be the only one that doesn’t know, but what’s the material? Looks like some sort of epoxy with some FG reinforcement?

It is extruded plastic with a modulus of 7000 PSI

One option, no drilling or tapping required.

If it was mine id take a chunk of picatinny blank i keep on hand and put 2 of those neodymium magnets on there. It would stick to any shotgun or steel pistol youd put into the rotation
