How would you affix it to the slick material? Also, through your question, i think that i found the material that Pappas was using for his gasket material on the slides and noodles.[/Could affix the sorbothane to the sides, and stretch slick material over it. Hot glue gun around perimeter. Quick to mock it up and test efficacy

i was thinking about using something like this.. soft and very little contact on the stock, but just enough to "guide" it

Ok.. for the time being, i am done with it for now.. maybe some more in the future.. But now.. i can speed dial the elevation and windage on it..

I have a question what is the advantage of the round forearm stop vs the randolph style? 1 vs 2 points of contact?

i don't know if there really is an advantage, but i couldn't get it close enough for the top that i am using.. and the round one that i made has more travel in it.. that is the main reason that i switched them out!

But here it is now with the Greenlaw top on it.. i am thinking that i will keep it in the configuration for the time being.. i am not sure if the way i was using the Fudd top was giving me some elevation from rifle hop..

A flat or 2 points of contact leaves you another point that has to be trued up. If the end of your stock isn't " perfect " and the flat or points of contact also aren't "perfect" there will be potential problems. With the round there is a single contact point on a very small surface......No truing " perfection" needed....

Another question I have is there a difference to using the orings on the stop or using a stop made of delrin?

If i had the material at hand.. i would have made one out of delrin, but i made mine out of what i had on hand.. seems to be just fine!

Doc-

Very nicely done. It looks a lot better than my Greenlaw top.
