Sinclair Competition Rest Base Plate - Aluminum?

[hoz53]

Anybody want to buy a first model steel one? Low mileage, no dents or dings or scrapes.
I will need to sell it to swing an alloy one.

I thought raconteur meant “has much money”

Alex,

yes. I will drop by enroute to the Ranger Reunion in Deadwood end of August.

hoz53,

I always thought you spelled that word with two "OO's".

Instead of powder coating, anodize in colors (red, blue, green, gold).

First run of them has been rough plasma cut. In line for CNC lovin. They’ll get a lot prettier. Should be live with them in about 2 weeks.

They are 1/2” 6061-T651 and will be provided “in the white”. My anodizer’s lot charge is cost prohibitive. Plus, 6061 may not take anodizing as well as many would like - may not look great with color. We ran samples a while back and stuck with clear on our other 6061 items.

Its not a fashion show! I dont care how they look.

Well then, yours is finished...

Bead blast would give them a dull finish that wouldn't need to be polished.

That'd be just fine with me. I'd take one as is also, don't care about finish.

 

[bcarico]

Most of it is going to be covered anyhow.

 

[X-Caveman]

They'll be delivered as they are straight of of the CNC. End users can bead blast, powder coat, anodize, etc. With the price of aluminum and the machining involved, I don't think the market can tolerate more cost. I'll keep the thread updated with how they look when finished. Thanks!

No, sir. You need the entire Sinclair Competition Rest. This gives it a wider footprint, adds weight and makes the knobs a little more ergonomic. Here's a link to the original ones that were steel. After talking to customers, we decided to make the next run out of aluminum to save weight. The Comp. rest is already pretty heavy without this.

Getting closer

To all of you guys that are shooting in the INS 1K Nats and have expressed interest...

Unfortunately, I won't be able to have these finished and in MT in time. Sorry. However, the one pictured above should be there in a 90% finished state. Y'all can kick its tires.

They should be finished & available in our store by the end of August.

Best of luck at Nats!

What about making one for the JJ rest?

I second this!!!!!!

 

[X-Caveman]

The first run is finished and at our warehouse. I'm heading there this afternoon to work on the product listing. We'll make it a private listing for a week or so and I'll notify the folks that have expressed interest. That should guarantee you the opportunity to get in on the first run.

Our next project - and some of you may have seen & fondled the prototypes at 1K Nats - is the thing that threads into the back hole... I was gonna call it "slow", but I think "precision" may be the wiser choice given the next word is "screw"...

The steel ones work great. The weight adds a bit of stability to my portable Rockchuck shooting bench.
