Mega Rad Gun Thread

He may have to do that anyways. I skimmed the law (asked google) about it, and one of the qualifiers was you can't have "electronic devices" attached. Which likely includes red dots and LPVOs.

It actually doesn't include those. It includes laser rangefinders and optics with those built in (see Burris Eliminator line of scope) as well as thermals.

Try swapping the handgards for polymer. And what others have said, a skeleton stock. Literally ditch everything that you can. Maybe even the optic if it weighs more than the irons. It'll kick harder but it'll be legal.

The barrel nut is proprietary, I tried. So my next project is modifying a nut to work so I can swap the handguards.

Check this handguard out. https://jagcomp.com/product/bertha-handguard-system/
Fits a aero precision BAR barrel nut. https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m5e1-handguard-barrel-nut
Which should work if your upper has “DPMS” threads

That might actually work. I dunno

I need one of you guntism kiwis to help me with this, I just picked up an Enfield No 1 Mk VI .45 revolver that has a bulge in the barrel from a squib. I was told not to shoot it, I want to shoot it. Should I send it in somewhere for repair or just send it? I am thinking send it because it doesn't look bad. Here are some photos

Spoiler: rifling and sides

If I cant shoot it I won't be too upset, it was a very fair price, Apex has barrels with cylinders for a fair price but for 38spl instead of .45.

Wall hanger bro.
I have a MK. 6 with a shaved cylinder and trying to "fix" it can quickly exceed the value of the gun.
Do what you want in the end, but my opinion is it's not worth it.

if you aren't sending very hot loads down the pipe it should be safe. most revolver, even older ones, can handle a few squibs with little issue even with a visible shadow. the problem comes from a combination of not knowing the history of that barrel, and examining it for cracks that the bulge has precipitated, which is where it's a serious safety concern. cracks from bulges (since bulges are from over-pressure) can fail very suddenly rather than progressively like you would assume.

the proper fix is either a new barrel, a fill and liner installation, or the preferred way which is a mandrel and hammering out the bulge, which is very difficult to do by hand (i use a power hammer machine). fill and liner will not last, trust me on that, i've done them and they are good for a few thousand rounds then a re-line is needed. a new barrel or hammering out the bulge might be cost prohibitive, hammering takes hours and hours of shop time.

Picked up this Turkish 12ga bullpup after finger banging one at the Oaks gun show. For the 200 bucks I spent it feels quality and I haven't had it not cycle. Got 00 buck and deer slugs through it. I will say this cooled me off on buying a Desert Tech WLVRN in 308. The bullpup setup is kinda clunky to reload and charge since i'm so used to traditional rifle setups.

I think I can see cracks but I'll have to find my borescope or find a new one. In the meantime I'll consider a 38spl barrel/cyl assembly until I can clearly see the damage if any. Everything else about the gun is perfect except the bulge

The dog looks embarrassed that you traded valuable currency for that.

The dog would also eat garbage out of the trashcan if I let her, so no accounting for taste.

But for 200 bucks? It's an easy buy at that price, just stupid fun. Though I can shoot only so much 00 buck before my shoulder won't let me shoot anymore

Turkish shotguns can be hit or miss but I've heard good things from others about that specific model. With Turkish shotguns you're either getting a complete piece of shit or a diamond in the rough at a price that can't be beat. Turkey is quickly becoming the modern-day China for US-market small arms.

Every few years the designated cheap guns country changes. It was China, then Russia and now Turkey took up the mantle.

 

[The Dude]

The real question should be: Why has the development of PDW's that can punch through armor stopped at the P90/MP7?

SBRs are why.

HK hasn't even made a companion pistol to the MP7.

HK actually did make a FiveseveN-esque companion pistol to the MP7, they just never released it and no military or agency ordered it IIRC. Forgot what it was called though.

1. if you can see actual cracks it is absolutely unsafe. I would not shoot it. wall hanger. buy another.

2. 38 special is too long for the enfields/webley .38 revolvers. they are all in .38 S&W, a fine round but it never really competed with 38 special post WW2. historical accounts say the british .38 load which used a 200gr bullet was a good man stopper. real low velocities, right on the ragged edge of stable so when it hits flesh it tumbles. killed a lot of uppity colonials in Africa.

that was the H&K UCP. aesthitically you can see it as a missing link between the USP and the HK45.
early prototype ~2003/4

final design:

program was dropped in 2009 IIRC due to lack of interest from government purchasers.

Some interesting items in there. The Sterling is impressive, assuming it is auto and not SA. The Ithaca M37 is very cool, but too bad they hacked the stock off. The single bar, bottom eject action on those is dope. Actually impressed to see a Geissele Mk4 rail on a confiscated ghetto AR. The rest of that AR looks like it has ashy skin for some reason. Obligator Glock with a switch, and what the hell are they hunting with that Ruger American, LOL?

Now I have a magnified optic. That said. If any of y'all here have a long action Cobb magwell, please message me. I need one.

(I wonder how much you could take off that A2 stock without ruining the integrity... I know some of them are hollowed-out with the removable buttpad for equipment...)
