Finished Excal straight shaft

[Md Epidemic]

Finally finished, but need to replace the handle with and aluminum one.I took this off a bike I had in the basement and it's steel.The arm cuff doesn't
feel good with out the strap on and I dont like to hunt with the strap so will probably change that.Other than that it feels great and can probably swing for hours with
no problem.
I also made a clamp to eliminate the wobble in the lower shaft and did the peltor modd.Total cost so far $0. I my original straight shaft question post, I said I had
to finish a digger before i got to the shaft, so here's a pic of the digger also.

Thanks again, to you guys for all the pics and suggestions. After 6 gold rings I might be ready for another modd. HHMM lets see water proof connectors & WOT or maybe PP switch.
Get ready for question. LOL.

Cant wait to try it out.

Happy huntings, Epi

Very nice work!.
In the future should you wish to make another and omit the lock nut U get the aluminum tube at Aircraftspruce.com or where ever , get 6061 t6 7/8 OD .745 ID 4 feet @ $3.20 per foot #03 36450.Your lower shaft will measure .744 which makes for a very nice fit requiring no lock nuts.

Looks good. Is that a repair job on that digger ? Or, did you make your own ?

Thanks for all the comments. Nice work,Obolus, if i were to put a knob guard i guess I would have to
take the clips out and use screws.

My ID is .748 and the lower shaft was worn. If i ever get another excal, I'll get it from them.

Thanks
