Monopod Progress
This is yesterday evenings work -
The hinge tongue will be made of 1/4" PL and be let in though the plastic of the pistol grip cap & be arranged so as to pickup a number of cross bolts and the rest of the chassis etc. I'll flame bend the 35deg in the leg and cut/mill two flats on the hinge bolt so as to accept a 12mm spanner (same as the bipod spigot)
I'm now to the point where I need to consider how I'll go about making the vert adjustment, that attaches to the leg & for this I'd be open to suggestion's.
The most straight forward thing I can see is to have it drilled and tapped into the heel of the aluminium block that mounts the butt pad (visible in the 3rd photo) and the rest of the mech I've got to come up with. It will need some kind of spring loaded rollers so it track/follows the leg as the elevation of the bore line decreases (monod height increase) and doesn't bind.
The CAD drawing visible is an overlay of the Accuracy International plastic stock sides, over the butt assembly of the much bigger AI AW50
And I'd like to keep machining to a minimum
also wondering what people believe to be the best make of F-Class competition bipod?
