I made a Magneto V3 adapter on the cheap, Dirt cheap...

[Noidly1]

I took a piece of pvc pipe and made this hand guard mount for my Magneto V3.
It's not finished yet. I need do a couple of things still to keep it secure.

Not sure how well it will hold up but, for the money, if it works, cool...

Thoughts???

Update;
This adapter fits tight enough that I can pick the rig up by the Magneto V3.
I don't think It will need anything else to hold it on.
We shall see...
LR308 rig is 12lbs.

Now, that's innovative idea rat der..

Great idea! Schedule 80 might stiffen it up if 40 fails. A little tighter ID though.

I have been wanting to get a new chrono. Labradar is a little to $$$ at the moment. But a Magnetospeed is in $$ range. The only issue is keeping it off the barrel. The extra $$$ for the add on off barrel parts make it almost equal to the Labradar cost. This idea of yours is genius! What a $$$ saver! Saw how tight it holds on your YT video. What a great idea . Can you say, "patent pending"?

It looks great for the AR style hand guard. Do you have to fashion a new piece of PVC for your hunting rifles with wooden or CF fore ends?

That is my question also. It appears it is a gun specific set up and not universal. Love the ingenuity though. Trying to find a more universal way to attach to several guns. Have the wiser mount l, but don't care for it as much.

Built mine out of 1/4"x2" flat bar aluminum and attached it to an Arca clamp the screwed an 11" Arca rail to the stock. I have $25 invested and it works great

Is that steel or aluminum and how much does it flex/wiggle?
For that setup, I would have used a T-bar. virtually no flex but might twist tho. jm2c...

Thanks. Good idea but, that may be too thick for my application. As for tension, that can be adjusted easily with hot water and a gentle squeeze.
