    will this product damage the facings if left in place

    I cannot say if they will damage the pockets or not 100% however you are creating outward force on the bond between the rubber and the rail wood. If left in long enough and the spring is strong enough it could in theory separate the rubber from the wood. I also like most others here, do not...

    installing simonis 860

    i usually just grab the t50 3/8 ones this way if the table is damaged where you staple it in, it holds, but honestly you can use whatever size you want that will hold tight. I wouldn't suggest 1/4 inch though. It really all depends on the wood you are going into more than anything. If its...

    Tom Hay's new line of tips

    First, I never said I spoke to you on the phone. It was either on here in private messages or in text. And since I can't find it on here it had to have been texts. I have never technically spoken to you. But we did have a conversation because I was asking you a bunch of questions. And it was...

    Tom Hay's new line of tips

    I am a repair person and I install both Outsville and Ultraskins. Honestly I don't shoot with either. Both are really great for some and both I have been told are complete junk by others. I have played with both and honestly they both are really good tips. With that being said, the very...

    Identifying rail rubber

    Ok so I figured it out. What I thought was k55 (because that is what I ordered) is k66. So when compared to the k55 it looked smaller. Now that I'm home I was able to measure it and sure enough they sent me the wrong rails. So it wasn't that it is so much bigger than k55 it was that i didn't...

    Identifying rail rubber

    Got another one for you guys. I have a set of rails off of a Handy, but when I pulled it off it is considerably bigger than k55. It's almost a1/16 th wider and to the noise is almost an 1/8 th inch. Don't have pics right now but I'm comparing it to brand new k55 and it is easily bigger. Any ideas.

    how to differentiate between rail rubber

    Ok so I was able to get over there and here is what I found. The rail rubber from base (part you glue) to nose is .831 inch or 21.12mm. The width of the base is 1.047in or 26.46mm. From what I can tell from the pic I found on one of the sites, this appears to be closest to the u23 profile...

    how to differentiate between rail rubber

    I haven't seen them, and up until now I've only replaced valley ones (and they all took the exact same rails) and one drop pocket table. Mind you I have done 23 sets of them but short of the one set I did on a drop pocket table where the owner had ordered everything to do it himself and just...
