Made Test Risers

I took a little time tonight to knock out some test risers for the Barrel Bends I roughed out yesterday. I am trying to get enough together to test fire some rounds through them by the end of the week. I was really surprised to find that even with the risers loosely fit in they held the barrel bends in alignment very well - even without being bolted in place!!! This idea is starting to look really promising. If it works it will make it possible to have the center of your barrels only 0.6" above the magazine.

The picture on the left shows the risers and the barrel bends in place. The picture to the right shows the joint that is used to mate the risers to the breeches. The barrel bends still need to have a ton of material removed but you can start to see the idea here.
