Sounds like a 'holy grail' item, Rob.
I can live without one. I may not even make the two brackets..........nah, probably will. Next, I want to work on the fittings that lock the upper shield up or down. Won't be same as a real 25pr unfortunately. Not that talented. At least I got a decent set of spring latches that should look OK, I hope. Wednesdays are the day I take Mum shopping, and assuming we finish on schedule, I want to get some gun work done when I get home in early afternoon. My shovel (and a NOS rubber eyepiece for telescope) is on it's way, and I should have it middle of next week. Looking forward to cleaning it up and putting it and the rope on the shield front. Speaking of the rope, a funny thing happens to it when the humidity is high. It loses a certain amount of pliability and swells slightly. That disappears when air dries again. This morning, humidity was 97%. Another 3% and it would be raining upwards!!! My sincere thanks to all you folks who have humoured me in my thirst for information. ![]()
