back plate

[stinger]

can anyone tell me where to get a decent back plate made?? :evilgrin:

[maybachgt]

Do you want to get a custom one made or to buy an already made one cause warped sportz makes some cool ones

[nastylax8]

ya they make sweet ones for a ton of guns, also some dude on ebay is selling carbon fiber ones

[El Pirata]

Carbon fiber back plates? Hell, you can make one out of carbon fiber at home with a dremel.

[maybachgt]

How

[El Pirata]

Take a sharpie and trace out the back plate onto a peice of carbon fiber then cut out the shape with your dremel.

[maybachgt]

carbon fiber is so expensive and you that fibers will stick out when you drill it

You'll probably need 1/16th or 1/32th carbon fiber rigid stock. You'll need a 3X12 sheet and it will run you under $15 for the whole sheet.

not if you drill it with a good drill and sand it afterwards

[maybachgt]

i guess you are right .

[nastylax8]

hey el pirata i cant find carbon fiber on mcmaster and the link doesnt work, what section is it in

[nastylax8]

nevermind, i found it

[El Pirata]

Shoot, That was supposed to be a direct link but type carbon fiber in the search blank. You'll be wanting the rigid sheets. I think 1" will be way too narrow for a back plate but a 3" will be fine. It's like $9 for 1/32th and $13 for 1/16th.

[Bigal1]

Why?
(why would you want carbon fiber?)

[El Pirata]

Something different.

[El Pirata]

Do you want to get a custom one made or to buy an already made one cause warped sportz makes some cool onesThey only show one they make with two different versions of anodizing.

Maybe I will try that carbon fiber idea.

[El Pirata]

I just got an Angel Force back plate. Not too pricey and looks different than a stock one.

[maybachgt]

I want to do the carbon fiber thing and when its done I'll put up pictures

[nastylax8]

can you make backplates out of anything (plastic etc.) or does it have to be something that can withstand pressure(carbon fiber, aluminum, steel)

im pretty sure anything goes, correct me if im wrong tho guys

[ZoomZoom]

if you can make a back plate out of it then its ok

[speeduser]

wood?

[Neo]

sure

[speeding]

that carbon fiber is an awesome idea. i am asking the company how much a sheet of 4" by 4" with 1/16" thickness is so i can make a couple. will post when i find out.

[El Pirata]

wood?Balsa wood if you so desire. While being a little on the weak side you could probably use toilet paper, unless we are talking superman paper in which that would be strong enough.

[speeduser]

superman paper, ay?

[nastylax8]

joke

[speeduser]

yes i understood that.

[maybachgt]

I ordered the carbon fiber so in about 2 weeks I will post pics

[nastylax8]

nice, you have to show me at HSP next time you are there

[maybachgt]

sure or when you guys light me up at bears cup

[nastylax8]
