Re: roller gun question
i have done a couple that way .do the roller behind the normal band this makes the roller double as a band elevator ,and keeps the roller band from eating the normal one . also the band on a roller gun can only be loaded on the fin or notch closest to the mech

Re: roller gun question
I don't have a picture of this gun.. . But I have a picture of the pencil scketch of the muzzle.
The botom sketch is of a bracket that we made up to retrofit a wooden biller with a roller set up. These both turned out to be very versitile guns. Two band punch for flat heads and single, non roller, for crappy and perch. |

Re: roller gun question
Interesting. I would fasten the front of the metal that holds the outside of the roller to the stock in some way. To the OP, please show how it turned out.

Re: roller gun question
With both designs the wood and or metal ahead of the roller are just there to keep the band located on the roller. I don't have either of the guns right now to take a picture of but.. . I'm putting the finishing touches on a roller only gun. If you can picture the stanless as being square rather than angled you should get the Idea.

Re: roller gun question
so the standard band you are saying goes on the trigger side of the roller or the business end

For those larger curves I always draw them on before statring. They tend to come out more even that way. |
