    Jun 28, 2012 - Pulse Rifle build continues! #1
    Hi All

    Havent had much time to work on this but I have finally started on the Stock for the Pulse Rifle. First try was a failure. Im using 16 gauge steel for the build and was having a difficult time bending it properly. I have a bending brake that i snapped the handles off of. After taking a step back I tried again. This time I used a rotary tool with two cutting discs and scored the steel along the lines I drew. I essentally ground away some metal along the fold lines. This worked great! I was able to use the bending brake and get nice sharp folds. I have the basic shape but still have a lot to do. Here are some pics. Enjoy! The first pic is of the first try with the brake. Not so good. Too wide and very uneven bends. The rest of the pics are my second try which worked much better. I have added two peices at the corners of the stock to strengthen it. Dont have a working welder so I used screws to attach the metal to the corners. I filled the gaps with solder which I will grind down and make smooth. Not done yet but getting there!

    Hi All
    Got some more work done on the Pulse Rifle stock. I filled the diagonal cuts with solder and then filed those areas down. Ill use auto body filler to smooth out those areas. Cut the basic shape out and added the sling mount. This was the sling mount from the airsoft thompson. I cut it in half and used the other half on the barrel vent I made. Gonna start the slots tomorrow I think.

    Hi All
    Ive gotten a little further with the stock this week. Used the plans from bugstomper over on the Aliens Legacy board and made templates out of them. I cut out what I needed and glued them to the stock. I began cutting out the slots on the right side. I used a drill to make the rounded end and cut them out with a cutting disk. I cleaned them up a bit with a rounded file mounted in a drill. Once I finish cutting out the slots I will do a final cleaning and sanding and add a coat of flat black. Here are a few pics
