Converting a Ski Pole to a Stock! I knew I was going to cut the sticks at the portion where it would be a uniform diameter, altho the black and white portions obviously have different diameters.
I designed the mounting block in several pieces.
The first was a piece to attach to the pole:
The side blocks would be threaded to 6-32 for set screws to lock to the pole.
This interface bracket would then mount to a bracket that would clamp to a picatinny rail:
The picatinny clamp portion:
I designed the block to exactly reciprocate the shape of the picatinny tower (red outline).
2x6-32 screws would pass through the smaller clamp block into the body of the main block, which would be threaded (Yellow arrows).
The little green block sits exactly between 2 slots of the picatinny rail to prevent the block from sliding up and down the pic rail.
So, off they went to the printer.
I bonded to pole mount to the clamping block with Tap Plastics Acrylic cement--literally melts the plastic into 1 solid piece.
Mounted up with the pole:
