These are templates for the spacers I have lately been using for my turreted nite finders. Whenever I wanted to make one, I would need to get out the compass, make a sketch, etc. So I made these with a geometry program. They are the right size to just print off and use.

These templates are meant to be used with cpvc. I use a 5/8" forstner bit to drill the holes.

8 barrel version



6 barrel version




When you finish, it should be something like this.



I can make templates for different numbers of barrels if there is a demand.

What gun is that! I have never seen it.

A nite finder that he has modded to his own purposes and uses.

What is the spacer itself made out of? I can't quite recognize it. It might prove useful in a project I'm starting to plan.

Is it just black plastic or is it something else?

[sonnysonny]

correct me if im wrong, but it seems to be foam board, or just plastic. Great job! ill definitely use it for my AT2K with removable turrets.

[Arconious]

It looks like stiff black plastic. I just want to know what it specifically is.

[TantumBull]

It looks like marine grade polymer, I think that's what it's called. We have a bunch of it in our CIM lab's storage room.

It seems to be ABS plastic, and by the way, great job, but you might want to include a spacer template for rapid fire 20's.

I think it's expanded PVC (Sintra), or polycarbonate.

[BustaNinja]

The rough surface makes me think ABS.

[General Nerf]

looks like this metal I saw once

It's Sintra.

Any durable flat materiel can be used, that is just what I had laying around.

[Arconious]

No wonder i didn't recognize it, I've never worked with it. Is it fairly durable, or would it bend rather easily. I was thinking of using it in a project I'm planning out, but if it bends/breaks easily I need to find something else.

[xtremejumpy]

Can you post a pic from the side? I can't really see what you did with the turret for the night finder.

Any particular reason you didn't use the 8 barrel on the NF?

[bobafan]

I felt the 8 barrel was too large for a pistol.

I have only used the 1/4" thick sintra and it is quite durable and rigid.

Thanks.

The templates are pretty nice. BTW.

I might be interested in a couple of 8s, if you end up selling them.

bobafan is a master of the finer parts of nerfing:

-Aiming
-Making stefans
-Modding nerf guns

I can attest to his ability to make revolvers (what I call them) and stefans since I frequently buy from him (twice or three times).

If he is willing to make stuff, BUY IT!!!

I can make them if you want. I would just need the size of your axle.
