    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.

    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

    No there’s a good idea! Either would be fine. .25 even better!

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

    What do you paint it with and does it blend in with the blued metal well?
