This part is one of the reasons I went with LabRadar and the fact that I can shoot multiple rifles in one set-up.
I made a Magneto V3 adapter on the cheap, Dirt cheap...

This is my only rifle.
Yes, this is gun specific since I made it for mine. I don't have the coin for a more professional mounting system, that look way too cumbersome and wobbly to me btw and I figured on a more direct approach that would take all of those variables out of the picture. Stiffer, less weight and less BS to get in the way.
As for Patenting this, I don't give a crap. This is not something you would produce on a large scale anyway because there are way too many variables out there. Handguard diameter, shape, length, mounting rail positions, accessories, barrel length, yada yada yada... The only way you could mass produce something like this is if you had the time and $ to cover all of the manufactured rifle models, then you are talking about making production molds for each application... Not only that but then that leaves the custom rigs out of the picture.

My LR died after over a year, I have not even bothered to send it for repair. I turned around and bought a MS V3. Could not be happier. I just use either one of them to verify speed after I settled on the grouping capability of the weapon.
What irritated me with LR when I called them. To paraphrase their questions. What 6V power supply did you use? We want to make sure you use the correct 6V DC power source. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot ? - correct 6V DC supply?

The correct power supply would have a filter in it to remove the noise from the 60 hertz you plug into as well as any other noise in the line. Usually a capacitor of some kind would do that but knowing the correct uf for the frequencies your trying to clean up would help.
AW, MagnetoSpeed V3......the wet dream of every MacGyver want-to-be.
Poor design. I retired from the semiconductor industry I somewhat have vague understanding of simple circuitry. Poor design in today's standard on their Vcc input circuitry.

Doesn't wiggle the downward movement is minimal and the block part is about 1/8" away from the barrel. Any screw that could possibly become loose and cause a problem has lock tight on it. Beats having it hang off of the barrel
Other than my learning curve, I never have issues with my LR. I originally had my eye on MS.
Hard to see it. Or did you do that on purpose for patent reasons!! Lol
Yeah I know that this was a personal labor of your own gun love. As for patent pending, I was only making a bit of humor. Again, nice job!

i looked through my phone for the photos. not sure where they went. I can get photos of the adapter but not on the rifle (new 6ARC i built) because literally my access to it is limited by my wife currently.Pictures please.
the PVC adapter is a great ideal and could be formed in so many configurations! i love that idea/medium.

some photos i just took. only takes about 60 seconds to connect the adapter to the magnetospeed and then the QR just clips to the rail on the foreend…
its not fancy but i believe it will do the trick. thats a scrap piece of 1.5" square aluminum tube i had. the QR mount is a $12 piece. the holes for the QR to mount are slotted so i could adjust angle as well as forward placement. (there are more holes if ever wanted to move it)
stores in the case

I like this^^^ added weight to rifle is a plus when testing
