It's my experience that you don't really need the wings on the retaining ring. My Sprocket designs call for cutting one of the wings off, and even then, I decided to glue them in place, rather than put the screw in them. So you should be able to get away with just making the main hole, cutting off both wings, and gluing the retaining ring into whatever bracket you've got going on.




Yes, that works. With the first Maverick. I used base wood which was very easy to use, and why i included the wing screws. With the clear version. All i used was just the center gear part. it works great.

How did you get those sprockets? machine them? or are they commercialy(sp) avaiable?

EDIT@kitadrian: Would you be willing to sell them?
EDIT@dim3: How do you machine the screw holes and stuff in the back?



Hi gmzamz, no machine screws was used.


What I mean't was, how did you machine the back plate to allow the wings to sit in it flush?



this one is slightly different. The wings is not included. Just used the main center pivot gear.

Very well done. I would like to see how you made the over/under double turret.

He made a write-up a while ago. You need some 1/4" wood.

I used his measurements to design sprockets for my own Tri-Cylinder:

Needs painting and a few other things... I've got plans for making it a Semi-Auto by merging it with a Magstrike and a hornet chamber... but that's still in the test phase. not going to hack into such a pretty thing until I'm sure it will work.



I like what you have done. Nice work

That looks pretty good, but how strong is polycarbonate exactly? I've never had experience with it. Will it hold if shot point blank from a titan? Not that it would ever happen, but I dont want to be the one to find out.





No, not with this mod. It would come off but the polycarbonate will act as a shield if it falls. Polycarbonate is strong.
