That's cool. Didn't know there was a large museum dedicated to the battle. Just one more thing I'd like to see someday.

Interesting, according to this http://hybris.cms.henkel.com/medias/sys_master/root/h40/h15/9112834539550.pdf it should have been fine to use on aluminum (despite the basic pH of 10.6)
If you have any bits of aluminum left from the project and are still curious, you might try giving them a test in the cleaner, with and without the cleaner/degreaser.

>>103803
The cleaner in there was diluted, and possibly had contaminants from the day shift that could have tainted the part. It could have been the heating function, but it doesn't get anywhere boiling...

Either way I'm not too concerned, mostly curious.

>>103804
you could always make a test piece (a machined block or something with a similar surface finish to the part that changed colour) and leave it the cleaner extra long to see what happens. Consider it a "worst case scenario" test or do it just for giggles.

>>103802
Ah, didn't see the picture before I posted. Yeah, that's not nearly as bad as I thought. I was expecting something more along the lines of what happens when cheap dyes are used to color aluminum, that then proceed to leach out from bad sealing or break down under UV light. Pic related. Which was confusing the hell out of me because your piece wasn't dyed.

I think your contaminants theory is likely correct, as anodizing is great at picking that sort of thing up.

First block is control, second is 1 hour in left-over contaminated day shift natural blue cleaner (unknown concentration), third is 1 hour in fresh 10% natural blue, last is 1 hour in tap water.

I think it might be the water. The tap water at work isn't fit for drinking, we have water coolers and bottled water for drinking, it usually smells and I don't know what's in it exactly. Could sulfur stain aluminum? There is sometimes a rotten egg smell from the tap water.

Monday I might use bottled water and run another block one more hour. All other variables were kept pretty steady, same temp on the machine, blocks were in the same spot too.

>>103731

I felt insulted when their hits at 100m seem like some unobtainable achievement. I mean, I guess the RMR on my Roland could be considered cheating, but it really isn't that big of a deal to get hits on steel at 100m, with some practice and understanding of your sight picture at that distance of course.

I was about to close the video when I saw Rob Pincus, I closed it when I saw "hydrostatic shock".

If SVI can make a 100% barstock billet 1911 or 2011 for less money than this with the same accuracy guarantee, wtf are they doing?

Yes, for $7500 you could have a grade 9 titanium 1911 made (with microwelded tool steel rails to eliminate galling) that generally will shoot .5" groups or better with AET rifling.

Or hell, you could start a Korth collection, or two SVIs, or multiple forged in the halls of Mount Doom custom 1911s that I promise you have better attention to detail and craftsmanship than this does.

Btw, Les Baers are rather well priced (bit above some of the better production guns like the Colt Rail Gun, Springfield TRP, Dan Wesson Valor).

>>103740
All those guns you mentioned are things that are already proven, all the plans and tooling are already done, to quote the post you linked to
"...riding a hundred year wave of Browning's legacy. 1911s are understood in every way"

All those manufacturers just have to make what is already made and do it with attention to detail and closer fits. It's like doing a cover of a song when everybody and their mothers have the music sheets and the instruments, SVI/les baer/everygucci1911brand just comes in, picks up the guitars and microphone, and plays the same old song.

The accuracy ends up being the same, but FK has to write a new song from scratch, that's the actually complicated and expensive part.

Yes their marketing is annoying as hell and going "wow we're amazing hitting stuff 100 yards nevah been dun befoh muh hydroquantumshox see we can use buzzwords too".

>>103741
Doesn't hydrostatic shock become relevant when the projectile goes above 2000 fps? FK only has 2000 fps at the muzzle though. On the other hand, it dropped an elk without vertebra damage which is very impressive if it wasn't staged.

>>103742
I'm no terminal ballistician, but from what I understand "hydrostatic shock" is damage to some types of tissues and/or organs from a large enough temporary cavity caused by a projectile. The size of the temporary cavity is related to the projectile's weight, diameter, speed, upset (tumbling), expansion or fragmentation. This temporary cavity, if large and violent enough, can increase the trauma and physiological shock to the target beyond the permanent cavity. I remember reading theories of nervous system damage from this temporary cavity effect, but I can't say I know if it was speculation or confirmed by legitimate scientific process. I do imagine, all else being equal, a larger temporary cavity would probably hurt more but pain is an extremely unreliable factor in incapacitation of a creature at best.

12 gauge slugs are very large, heavy, made of soft lead, and from what I know, can create very large temporary cavities regardless of the relatively slow velocity (well under 2000ft/s) of the projectile. Conversely, the 223 with a proper bullet can also impart devastating damage beyond what one would expect from a small projectile.

In the case of most handguns, there is neither weight or speed sufficient to do anything but look impressive in a gel test. Gel and high-speed cameras can make basically anything look like the new wonderbullet is like a high explosive autocannon round. From Fackler's reports, yes the general speed required to have enough energy to make temporary cavity matter is around 2000ft/s, but bullet weight and construction (expansion, tumbling, fragmentation) are important factors in this rule of thumb.

Hunters have been taking large game with smaller calibers for a long time, with a bullet that can go deep enough, I would imagine that countless medium-to-large animals have been taken with lever actions in modest chamberings assuming shot placement was good. Hunting is often anecdotal and very case-by-case, the animal's reaction to being shot can never really be predicted with perfect accuracy. Maybe they shot a dozen game before landing on the one elk that just gave up after getting a hole poked in it. There's a video of some guys shooting a small doe with a 50BMG and it taking a football-sized scoop right out the exit side, and the doe still ran for a few seconds. There's plenty of videos of hunters sack-of-potatoes-drop on larger animals with a whole lot less than the 50BMG, like 357 Magnums.

The 7.5 round is basically a 30 carbine round (as if shot from a long barrel) from a pistol barrel. Whatever you can kill with an M1 carbine, you could do with the 7.5 from the pistol.

>>103743
I'm just saying that an aproximately 100 grain bullet goes into the target at supersonic speeds so their claims of effective hydrostatic damage may not be a just marketing meme. No amout of accurate or meme marketing claims justifies that fucking price tho. Would be interesting to see if they make any actual military AP ammo for it and how will it look if they do.

I've seen those, but a double rifle that has usage for big and small game would just be handy. Pedersolli (I think that's how you spell it) has a new production double barrel 45 long colt with chambers long enough for .410, all in a pistol format. A stock with 454 and longer barrel could really suit my needs (wants).

The moment I saw KDG's Kinect system, I knew M-LOK was the winner.

how long have you had this thing? The ejector looks suspiciously beat, like shit has chipped off on the corner. I don't know if it is enough to effect the function but even on my relatively high round count AK's, it doesn't look like that. It is smooth with a shiny spot where the case has been hitting.

That aside, if you have another working AK handy. You should try and compare the position of the ejector's front face to that one. I had a very VERY troublesome AKS74 that always had ejection issues (stovepipes mostly). The ejector was sitting way back compared to the ejector on my other AK. I had to grind off the spot welds and re-weld on a new ejector rail further up (didn't know how to weld/have a welder at the time, other than a spot welder). It works great now.

>>103626
Owned it nearly two years now.less than 700rounds through it by me.I suspect the damage is from the bolt hitting it and just being a cheaper or bad heat treated rail.

>>103635
>I suspect the damage is from the bolt hitting it

I think you'd feel it in the bolt if that were the case.

>or bad heat treated rail.

That appears to be the most likely suspect in my opinion.
I guess you also mostly shot steel cased? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but that might have sped up the wear.

>>103644
Its definitely the bolt. Can see light wear marks on the bolt from where it makes contact.

careful welding the extractor, I did and had to file it just right, otherwise my ak wouldnt eject at all.

From the shaped hull, it seems to be primarily designed to increase survivability of the crew in case a mine goes off. When a mine goes off, your primary gas tank might be gone, but it might have a secundary internally to at least limp home.

Either way, a hugely retarded choices for LE. They should have other priorities.

>>103643
>They should have other priorities.

But but ISIS and homegrown right wing turrurrists and and and and...

Gets harder to distinguish between the police and the military every year. Unfortunately, that seems to be the point.

>>103643
Who cares about mine protection when it's free from the DOD and offers the same ballistic protection as a Bearcat?

>>103654
free except you have to pay for the maintence. Oh and the DOD can recall it back if they need it.

>>103655
>free except you have to pay for the maintence

A relatively minor cost, and there are DHS grants for stuff like that.

>the DOD can recall it back if they need it.

Which has only affected tracked vehicles (M113s) and the agencies returning them get priority for a armored HMMWV or MRAP to replace it.

holi Shit, its like lookin a six way mirror

Captain Sweden strikes again!

Deagle Mk I WWI prototype

is that ball ammo or API Anus Piercing Immunodeficiency?

>>103650
Could be APIT Anus Piercing Internal Trauma.

>>103007
>Have you tried the Smith & Wesson Model 640 Pro? A 5-shot .357 Magnum with a 2.13-inch barrel.

I have not. I did last year try a the Ruger LCR in .357 Magnum, a less pretty but lightweight polymer framed snubby.

I have to say that fifty rounds of American Eagle 158gr softnoses were just about as much fun as I really wanted to have. And I don't consider myself especially recoil-sensitive, at least with handguns. Smith 29s and 629s with full-power .44 Mag ammo are, for me, fun (within the limits of my DA shooting), not punishing. But that LCR in .357 was a bit much.

  >>103035
That's the one.

>>103034
>I want to be more skilled at using all types of firearms

I'm with you here. I understand people who train on one type and that's it. But I like guns too much to do that. I'm decent with damn near anything and good with any proper firearm. With revolvers, just go with a decent quality Smith or Ruger with a 4" or 6" barrel, and actually enjoy shooting it.

> but short-barreled .38 Special revolvers strike me as being 1898's answer to questions about concealable handguns for self-defense. The 20th Century had better answers to those questions, and the 21st Century has better answers still.

Yes. I crack up at stories of people still carrying 38 revolvers in Vietnam.

> using the stance and grip from this old training film

No, just no.

>I can get faster hits and hold the X-ring using the sights. For me, at least, point shooting doesn't seem to work very well.

An interesting test to do, is to put a humansized target at 10 yards, place your feet in the correct shooting position and have the gun at low ready. Now close your eyes and bring the gun up to your natural point of aim and slowly fire off a round or 3 with your eyes still closed.

While not perfectly grouped, they'll be in about the same area and will show you if it's actually your stance that's throwing you off. Or well, you could just be pulling every shot, but that is something that someone watching you should be able to tell you. If there's no obvious reason why you're fucking up the shots, it's likely because you're fighting your natural stance.

>>103044
I did this at the range today, though I was trying something I'd just purchased which was a bit muzzle heavy--a Ruger Mk III "Hunter" with the 6 7/8" fluted target barrel.

Got 7 of 10 on paper, all low, in a pattern only slightly less wide than the entire paper target, which was another B27.

I will need to do this again with other firearms to see whether it's the long heavy barrel that makes me shoot low or something else, I think.

>>103638

If the Hunter is atypical (in length, front weight and very importantly, the grip angle) it might be normal at first that you're not tracking as you should. That said, I've have expected them all to be on paper. Seems rather inconsistent if you're all over the place.

>>103617
Holds in the detent spring for the fire select.
In the standard AR grip the spring just goes in a hole in the grip.

but VE MAKE IT BETTER, JA?

>>103618
Correct, normally AR pistol grip install up into the receiver but CQR has to come in from the back because of the buffer tube so the spring has to be installed afterward

A bunch people on /k/inder is saying mine is a bootleg/knockoff and theirs doesn't look like mine and better. But no one has offered actual photo of their taken apart stock.

Also please stand by for range report, I haven't have time to take pictures but both Frankengun and Stoplossed doesn't like the stock. It functions but they feel meh about it.

>>103620
One of the thing I didn't like about the stock is the cheek weld area feels odd. Look at the Magpul MOE/CTR it's slightly larger compare to the CQR which made the CQR a little bit less comfortable to rest my face on it.

Handled the Cali-compliant HERA stock today. You're right Mammit, those mold lines are rather noticeable.
