    Shroud material.

    I want to knock up a shroud for my recently acquired 95, anybody know where I can get decent quality cold drawn seamless 16mm Id tubing please.

    I got mine off the bay of E.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    As above get most if not all of my tube off the bay.

    Made a few before and if you are wanting to black then yes seamless mild is your best option. If not then aluminium and carbon tube make for a lovely shroud

    Carbon fibre tube off . Fleabay..
    It’s far better than metal in my opinion..

    Thanks, but I am trying to match another rifle. Plus, I don’t actually want it to look like a shroud if that makes sense?

    Hi Dave

    Put a wanted add in for a 98 barrel?

    It would then match the 'other shrouded barrel' almost exactly apart from the lack of the integral moderator

    Then you could choose .22 or .177

    Cheers Steve

    Makes perfect sense... But black, matt carbon fibre is much easier to paint than metal... One reason I use it a lot...
