Thread: Fixing floppy forend

The spaces in 'stuff for sale' screwed with the img tags. Replaced the spaces with %20 for you ... now it works:

Project was to fix up the floppy forend on my Titan 6. The rifle shoots well as it is but the front is just too flexible for my liking. So I set forth with a carbon arrow shaft 5 minute araldite and dremel tool to either fix or fark up my forend.

The initial setup from the factory

cross ribs removed

big channel hogged out

forend "keyed" for the epoxy to lock into the stock

no going back now "'glued in'

masking removed to admire nice clear epoxy and realising I should have spun the arrow shaft to hide the writing on it

knocking high spots off epoxy and opening up barrel channel using 80 grit emery for a start wrapped round a socket

letting my 2 yo have a crack she can't mess it up any more than I have. more clearing of channel 80 grit followed by 240 then 400 and then 1200

a final buff with autosol metal polish on the buffing wheel.



Well heaps of clearance now and I feel much better about it, Its a bit stiffer but would benefit even further if I bed the knox section of the barrel but since I intend to get another barrel for this thing soon I'll wait to see if the dimensions are the same as the barrel I have now.

Thanks Tim I posted it like that on another forum and had no trouble with the photos coming up
