Off barrel magneto mount

C'mon now, you guys gotta get out more. I heard there was alot of guys on the hide with little to do with their time. Im just a guy trying to find a solution to a problem. It seems by the majority of comments it's more important to the community to make a statement than help me out. That's all fine I'm sure ya'll are just bored to death waiting for your next shipment of powder, probably pissed Biden hasn't had a stroke yet or stepped maybe a lil too far from the shadow of CIA. Hell me too!

I'd really like to donate a few bucks to help keep this Hide thing alive. After all ya took the time to give me your two cents. Given all your wisdom I received, I'm thinking like fifty cents. Keep the wealth of information flowing...were moving up the leaderboard.

Problem is you are talking about using it in a match. Anyone who has shot a match finds that very funny. I don't care if you find a way to hold the magnetospeed as many people do that and companies make them for a reason. It's using it in a match that is getting people to chuckle. Nothing to do with being bored.
 
Sounds like the DIY "magic arm" mount would solve your problems. Pretty cheap to make and can suit any angle, any stock. The parts can be bought off amazon and just drill and tap the QD pic mount in the front to accept the magic arm. Note, the first pic is not my rifle and this is not my idea, i found it on the internet yesterday and ordered the parts today for an off barrel mount that won't cost me hundreds of dollars because I live in Canada.

I've got a few magic arms for mounting remote cameras and lights, that would be and easy fix. I will probably still use my tripod for a lightweight wood hunting stock. Easy to mount with a pic rail.

I am confident you won't find a nicer or more adjustable mount out there than mine, and if you value your time worth much you won't be able to rig up your own for less. These have been really popular and you will like it!

I think MS is missing out here. They could develop a robust muzzle device threaded on that's a brake, tuner, and chrony in one! Install an HD camera in the end and Bluetooth it all to my phone for on-the-fly adjustment, after action analysis and blooper reel...

Time and money makes anything possible. How bad do you want one of these mounts?
Are you fabricating or do you have a product. I'm interested enough to talk when your available

Will it work with a stock that doesn't run parallel to the barrel? These pics are of Wiser Precision's mount. Wiser have been very helpful and I value the service they provide. However, as you can see I cannot angle the rod nor bayonet to get it parallel with the barrel. In this case, the rod is too long and cannot be angled away from the bore. Also, the bayonet cannot be adjusted or "canted" to be parallel to the barrel. This obviously is necessary not only to avoid shooting the bayonet but also allowing both sensors to read. I spoke with your company earlier this week. They seemed genuinely interested in helping but also stated, as does your site "no cant adjustment".

I don't know why MK keeps telling people they won't work with a contoured stock all you have to do is shim the bayonet mount to level it.

Small shim inserted at back of mount to bring the nose down to a level position.
I've been using mine like this for close to 2 years.

Looks pretty simple! I'll let Tyler know he owes ya one. Thanks a boat load for the help and the photos. After all the B.S. on here this is exactly what I was looking for. 👍

As it sits, it will not work with things not being parallel to the barrel.

There are a few options, you can shim the bayonet vs it's clamping pieces, or you can shim the rail the device is mounted on. Third option is you can use a bender on a longer Arca rail, which turns out awesome if you know what you're doing, but obviously requires a bit of knowledge.

Sadly I can think of no way to add rock solid cant adjustment at a reasonable price. Sure it can be done, but not without substantially raising the price :(
 
Oh hey, had this thread up all day before I replied. Great minds lol

JGR1953 gave me the same solution. I'll give the shim a try and order your product. Not sure what the lead time is as your site says "backorder" I already drew plans on a toothed aluminum ball head for the bayo. This may give the clamp for the ball head the friction it needs to stay in place under recoil. You guys know more on the validity of that idea than I. Thanks for your help and great job on the Bullpup Chasis! I shot one at a private event without the bolt ext and the accuracy was great. Having the action closer to my shoulder seemed more natural.
 
No factor -0rder placed. A lot of rifles today have a parallel handguard, but I get plenty of folks with a contoured stock that want a load worked up. So hopefully this all will make mounting the chrono go much better.

I actually agree with this statements. I've used a couple different options and the MKM offering is really good.

I've got a few magic arms for photography work. Used them to mount cameras on backboards, strobe lights clamped to rails, etc.... Just got one out to use on my magneto speed. Clamp will mount on a chassis or a stock and arm articulates where you need it to go. I could remove the clamp and put an arca mount on it but I don't think it is necessary. Threw it on for a photo.

Here's a knockoff of the manfrotto for less, https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1310404-REG/impact_20_pivot_arm_with.html/reviews

Your prayers have been answered. Just spend $1000 on the latest and greatest.


Maybe you can convince them to have a sexy blonde read the velocity off to you thru your Bluetooth ear-pro while shooting a match.

I've got 0 experience with this, but I did have a customer email me saying he liked his a lot and wanted a modified version of my magneto mount for the bulletseeker.

I don't have one at at $900+ I probably won't get one (it would have had to come in under the Labradar), but doesn't it just mount to whatever picatinny rail back by your bipod? My understanding is that it reads out at least a meter in front of it, so slap it onto a 3 or 9 o'clock rail section and go.

He stated with longer barrels, cans, it wasn't reading as desired. I have no idea so don't shoot the messenger haha.

He wanted a pic rail at the end of my typical magneto mount.

I guess that makes sense. Probably not too hard to attach a chunk of pic rail. I guess there is also a parabolic adapter that supposably increases its detection range out to 3m.
