Ludde Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi All, Just wanted to share with you how it can look like after beveling the loading port of a Supernova. I've also attached a pic of the original one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therealkoop Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looks good, but im scared of that carrier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looks good, but im scared of that carrier! The carrier is not an issue on the Nova / Super Nova. When you push it up the first time it stays up until the action is cycled (no snapping back down to trap a thumb happening on this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1778 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) That is pro level work - did you do it yourself - V. nice. +1 I was very impressed when I looked at these earlier. Well done. You can do my 24" SuperNova! Edited September 7, 2013 by michael1778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludde Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks for all the positive comments. I did it myself by using 40 grit then 240 grit sandpaper wrapped around a flat file, then I gently heat up the area I've worked on with a small torch lighter, after that I go over all the surfaces with a soft 1000 grit sandpaper. The heat from the torch brings back the shiny surface in the polymer. Do not heat it up too much then you will get a burnt finish (that's ok if you are into that kind of stuff).
