Hi guys

Just bought a dozen mato scope covers for my hen long Pershing but the damned things don't fit! They are too brittle to bend ( I tried! ) and the German supplier is out of stock! ( Axel)

Any ideas ? ( current plan is sod it and leave em off btw!)

Yup I'm with Zuul ...Rocketman.... when I couldn't find the schumo guards.... I made a wooden jig and a tracing of one of them...basically four holes drilled into the wood to hold the frame for soldering...bent brass wire to the tracing...stuck the ends into the wood...and Bam! It's done...pretty easy after the first one :D

Alpha has it right as rain if you would like to save the dough and build, otherwise: http://www.etoarmour.com/product_detail ... tID=PH0015
