Q:

Take Down Shroud

Have had a .25 LW Barrel blank Tony sent me sitting around for a while because I didnt want to lose the takedown ability of my SS.

I was going to buy a .25 Marauder – but then remembered the barrel from Tony and canned that idea.

Want to keep the takedown feature so no long semi permanent shrouds like I did with my previous .25 Condor.

Cut the barrel down to just under 18″

Band saw keeps the barrel cooler than parting it in my lathe.

Turned down the breech

Polished it

Quick check

For the shroud I wanted something I could remove quickly but would give a positive attachment and decided on something thread. Found some thread specifications that would work in the space between the barrel and the frame.

This is the part which attaches to the barrel just starting to cut the thread on lathe.

Little bit further along… 0.001 at a time

Flip the indexable threading tool around to cut the internal thread for the shrouds rear end cap.

The two parts finished.

And threaded together.

Shroud end.

Barrel.

And with shroud attached.

On gun

Will be very quiet and pretty powerful when I finish the baffle’s, but still fits in my Talon backpack.
