trigger guard replacements

[robertsr1811]

Yeah, that's a custom Desert Fox. I gutted the reg on the back and ran it off the Bob Long reg up front. Worked just peachy keen and had a HUGE air chamber behind the bolt that way so shootdown was just not a problem at all. The only problem I ever had with it was that the barrel had a habit of unscrewing under heavy fire. It's gone to Florida now.

The blue cocker is sadly in other hands as well. I had a custom shroud for it and everything.

That mag has been through a lot. It looks like this now...







But to drag myself back on topic, The aluminum guard on the green gun was one of the easiest pieces I've ever done. It's aluminum flat bar stock from Lowes, bent with a torch and a vice, and shaped at the screw end and the pointy end with a grinder. All told, about 15 minutes of fiddling with it, and a spray of Duracoat and it turned out looking really nice. The customer was super happy with it as well as the double trigger conversion. The intelliframe trigger in that carbon frame worked really well.

Warning: hilariously crude mockup follows.








I very carefully carved a mockup out of some Depron (foam) I had laying around the house just to get a feel for things. Clearly could use some modifications; if nothing else, I'd raise the bottom by about 5mm.



Anyways, while the twist lock post does in fact stick out too far on a typical cut frame, there's nothing preventing you from gluing sort of a facade on the sides of the grip frame around the twist lock area. Or if not glued, it just comes out wide around the current grip frame, then wraps back down so that the grip frame screw goes through it. So I think that attachment point will be fine.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a cutting standard for CF frames, so you get all kinds of shapes on the back end, although nobody usually cut *behind* the rubber grip. So I think the way to go is to cut a section out of the rubber grip near where your middle finger would have been and attach to the CF frame back there, then fill in the rest of the gaps.



I really like these CF frames; it's too bad AGD never saw fit to make them double trigger themselves.
