how to attach a switch to wood (temporary)

Form A This Piece Of Metal That is Shaped Like A ? Or P Say So That You Kinda Roll It Around The Barrel And Stick The Switch Onto The Long Leg.

Some type of spring clip type bracket? Sounds a good idea. It'd be simple to line it with rubber to stop it marking the wood.

thats not a bad idea, there is space to get a thin clip on the stock and shouldnt foul anything during the cycle...i have just realised that this may be my last trip out having to use this method though as i will be granted an open licence for my .22lr in Jan so i can use that with my Night vision scope then...still could come in handy though

So no nails or screws...

Staples?

Now we're not being helpful at all with the complex situation are we, what's wrong with brazing it on, and before any says I'm talking about oxy acet !!

I don't think a stationary shop would sell anything suitable.

well as the gun is in its slip and im about to get in the car to go out for the night i am going to give the clip idea a go tomorrow while SWMBO is at work (she only moans when i play with guns) and see what i can come up with

Don't knock em, blue tack has been recommended and I believe they might sell it.

We haven't even got on to pritt stick or double sided tape yet !

There ya go,attach the switch to the clamp.Wether the throat is wide enough for the stock I don't know? Glue some rubberpads on the grip tightner to stop it marking the stock.

whats needed is beer go to a pub and undo the clamp on the beer taps they are always stuck solid and need a good clout to free them but then comes the magic part warm water on a cloth and no traces left behind

sorry, replied on mobile, then it died before I could add link

It's a sort of sticky tape that has a *lot* of sub-micro sticky pads. dunno how obtainable/expensive it is however.
Read about it in new scientist last year.

I'm trying to think of the last shop I saw moving - does an ice-cream van count?

How about a mobile chip van, it's a shop and most definitely moves, albeit very slowly.

Hang on hang on hang on, I've solved the problem, torch not required, chip van moves very slowly and comes with front, rear and possibly side marker illumination. Easy shot = job done in a one'er

some spring steel bent to grip the shape and line it with some foam to protect the finish then easy on easy off

edit, I see matt MattF also suggested this, beat me to it that'll teach me to read the full thread

Now that's quite a silly suggestion, have you no regard for the welfare of our forum brethren, what if the spring steel "un sprung" just as BB was about to take a shot and hit him in the eye

Tut tut

i had my switch taped onto the pistol grip on the semi auto, pressed with my thumb when needing the lamp on. better than up front.

he'd miss the target and possibly hit the chip van

 

[mr migwire]

or try these, like the proverbial to a blanket but no residue...

Can you imagine, BB was planning some off road shooting Japers with some mates in a done for landy, I seem to recal there may have Ben some issues. Can you shoot a mobile chippy through the bulk head of your an motor and not reck your engine??
