SKAN
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2014 10:18 pm
I have recently picked-up a SKAN chronograph and thought I would check to see if anyone has knocked up any sort of jig to keep the pellet travelling centrally down the tunnel and not striking the chronograph case ( or LCD).
I understand the muzzle should be at least 10" away from the entrance to the tunnel and that a "muzzle rest" is recommended so I guess some sort of base ( like a plank) would be good to mount a muzzle rest on and to place the front of the SKAN a further 10" away from the front of the barrel end.
This muzzle rest has to be adjustable (or interchangeable) to accommodate different barrels as PCP pistols need to allow for the air cylinder height whereas others including most rifles need to be higher as only the barrel diameter need to be allowed for and so on.
The other end of the SKAN then needs some sort of target holder to arrest the pellet after it has passed through the tunnel and this needs to be a reasonable distance behind it to prevent any rebound striking the rear of the chrono.
It is looking like a plank some 30 - 36 " long would make a good base to mount the muzzle rest, SKAN and trap on if the correct sort of spacing is to be achieved?
Has anybody knocked-up any similar sort of mount or jig to align ( and protect) their SKAN when in regular use?
.........any pictures?
