Reduce two of those strips of from 0.125″ thick chilly rolled metal.
In comparison with the unique stamped metal set off guard, it is considerably thicker.
Did not just like the floor end and did not wish to sand it for an hour, so I dusted the faces on a floor grinder at work.
At the least it’s going to be shiny.
Clamped with some aluminum within the vise jaws to guard the end.
Assumed this would possibly assist. I used to be improper.
Good. Now the metal was each sharp AND scorching.
Nonetheless…
Model 1 was useless easy and supplied me with the essential clearances for the set-back set off to operate.
Couple evenings later, I attempted bending a second set off guard–minus the warmth.
Tried for a bit extra curve.
Extra abrupt on the entrance than I wished, however I feel it higher suits the svelte traces of the inventory.
Each guards went to the milling machine to drill the mounting holes.
Not shown–chamfered the holes on the outer facet.
Roughed the curves into the ends on the bench grinder then filed and sanded.
Variations 1 and a pair of
I suppose that both guard would really be advantageous for a 70+ 12 months previous rifle.
Ver. 1 take a look at match:
Hmmmm… it is really not that unhealthy.
Take a look at becoming Ver. 2
Suppose the traces of #2 are a greater match to the rifle.
Going to complete each guards. Extra submitting, sanding and sharpening. More often than not was spent rounding off the underside edge.
Then it was time for some chilly blue.
Not fairly darkish sufficient and a bit too blue with the Oxpho. Some G96 will do the trick. By itself, G96 will flip the metal black with nearly no blue. On prime of the Oxpho, it’s going to darken however depart the trace of gun blue and gloss.
With guards completed, went again to the set off for remaining clear up and polish
Determined to make a brand new set off pivot bushing and cross pin. In for a penny…
New set off bushing is on the appropriate.
The previous bushing was exhibiting its age.
That is the previous cross pin. Anchors the tip cap in place on the spring tube.

Blued the ends the place it’s going to be seen.
Some colour for Mister Set-Again
Assembled the set off to the tip cap with the brand new bushing.
Sized a brand new set off return spring. Moly grease on all of the transferring surfaces and put all of it again along with the brand new cross pin.

Useful for those who put on XXXL gloves.
And at last, the substitute(s) for regular fingers.
Cleaned up and refinished the previous inventory mounting {hardware}.
About 100 pictures later, the set-back set off is a house run. Set off is now comfy to achieve and barely smoother in pull than the unique set off blade. And I am very happy with the best way the set off and guard match with the aesthetic of the little Belgian rifle.
I ought to most likely additionally point out that each one this work might be fully undone and swapped again to the unique elements in about 10 minutes in that case required.
I’ve no concept what’s up subsequent. That new-to-me rifle from Volvo is near the highest of the pile, however I am not fairly there but. I got here up with a fast checklist of airgun initiatives and it was fairly lengthy. A walnut Dennis Quackenbush inventory to suit and end for my Crosman 160, Wooden grips (and new set off?) for a Gamo Middle underlever pistol, a .25 Crosman barrel/breech, perhaps an replace on the Remington Summit within the NP2 inventory, an air stripper…
