Rifle Clips
Rifle & Clip 2.jpg
I am pleased with the look & function of rifle clips. The felt stops any contact with painted surface, as I had hoped. Bloody good thing I did it too, because the metal strap band on the SMLE would have been damaged & taken the paint straight off the clip! As Rick said 3 days ago, the rifle butt does not sit flat at the bottom. I am concerned if all pressure is in one place, the rifle may get damaged with the bouncing of the truck, so once the blocks are made for the butt to sit in (I know what you're thinking, don't say it!), I will add a layer of thick felt to the inside of the base. There is a 7mm thick material that Podiatrists use, called simply "Podiatry Felt", surprisingly enough!. It is adhesive on one side, able to be carved or shaped with knife or scissors, and the correct profile can be made with this. You can also use it to take pressure of corns or bunions on your feet, just in case you wanted to know
