MRC Enforcer Build, Part 6, Shock Cord Mount


Here's MRC's version of the tri-fold mount.
Two sections with the shock cord going through slits.

The shock cord is cut from the instruction sheet which seems weak.  I always redraw and cut them out of 110 lb. card stock.




A sort length of 1/8" rubber was in the kit. I substituted a longer length of elastic.

Here's the finished mount.
The backing was curved while the glue was still wet.




The mount is set inside the tube 1 1/2" from the end.

TIP: Mark the elastic using a ruler. This will be your depth gauge.
The instructions say to put glue in the tube, I applied white glue to the back side of the card stock mount.



Look close to see the pencil mark on the shock cord.
The mount was dropped in up to the pencil mark and the mount pressed into place.
