People rechambered German Mausers to dumb, boutique safari calibers and the worst that happens is receiver stretching. You've got the safety lug as well as the bolt release keeping you from becoming the prettiest unicorn so I wouldn't worry too much.

I mean, you aren't wrong. But a lot of those rechambers don't require shaving everything off the bolt face. Some of it is opened up, but the locking lugs aren't shaved off.

Apples to oranges time, but Julian Hatcher cut the front lugs from a 1903 and boredly fired numerous rounds with only the rear lug attached. The 98 Mauser's third lug is much smaller but the pressure exerted by 12 gauge doesn't demand very much in comparison.

got my first kimber and it's in 10mm same as my ronin

What do you think? I looked for a Ronin for a decent bit before I end up buying my Razorback. My plan was to basically create a Razorback level of performance using the Ronin as the base. I don't know for sure but I bet it would have been a little bit cheaper to go that route. Of course once I don't a give a fuck about the Ronin they're now easy to find.

REEEEEEEEEE!
 
i feel like i'm the last guy shooting .45 win mag. the boxes i received from buffalo bore was from a batch made in 2012.

https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=385 if you're curious

could be worse: i could be the poor bastard that bought into .45 GAP...

edit: sarco appears to have some cheap SW99's (walther P99-clone pretty much, they even interchange magazines) and Taurus 82's for $250 or less. the Taurus 82 was back when Rossi and Taurus actually made pretty decent clone guns, the 82 being a widely cloned copy of the S&W Model 10 and 15 and widely exported and used as a security and police pistol in .38 special for decades. even small parts are the same between the 10/15 and the 82 - differing in barrel and cylinder mostly.

Hey Clubby, in your experience, who is making excellent .22 LR rounds these days? For plinking or for hunting small game.

I use a lot of a CCI Standard for shooting suppressed, but I've had pretty good luck with Aguila 22lr Super Extra. Cheap, works in pretty much all my guns, though I don't have anything that picky, and I think they changed their powder a few years ago so it doesn't smell of pure ammonia anymore. I use the Aguila for stuff where I need to blast a ton of rounds like ICORE and Steel Challenge.

It's real nice for the price you get a forged frame and lots of very aggressive points on there when you grip it but with any 10mil 1911 it's picky with magazines you can't cheap out it's why I always go MecGar I've had 0 jamming issues with their magazines.
 
I got a couple thousand rounds of Aguila 22lr HV copper washed round nose a few months ago im still working through. Its made in Mexico but im really impressed by it. Very accurate, very consistent. The dimensions of cartridges themselves are nearly identical from round to round. Took my micrometer and measured rim thickness, rim diameter, case diameter, projectile diameter, case length, projectile length, and overall length. All nearly identical from round to round.

You know what this means. Now I have to buy a geha and make it explode. If you don't hear from me in a month. I probably don't have hands anymore.

Where is everyone getting this aguila that works good? I have yet to find aguila that wants to work good.
 
MrShekelstein36 said:
You aren't wrong. But when compared to #4-6 pheasant shot or high brass 2 3/4 it produces far less pressure. As for the fudd lore. I mean, it probably is, but as those guns get older and more worn. I'm not sure how much I would trust them.

Which is why its pretty much a wall hanger at this point. Really have no intention to ever really shoot it again. I don't mind having unique odd things like a Gewehr 71 or austro-hungarian rifles.

Did you ever use the A4, any opinions on it? Personally when I finally break for a AR, I want it to either be a A2 or A4 clone. Gives me the 20 inch heavy barrel and a classic feel.

Only reason to get one is if you want a GWOT clone rifle. Theres simply no point in a fixed stock and 20 inch barrel unless its a dmr/sniper rifle.
Click to expand...
Gonna advocate for a SAMR clone if you want a 20", especially if you want it with a heavy barrel, you may as well just go all the way at that point.

Though tbf I'd nix the rail those use and just get a modern big pimpin' MLOK forearm of the proper length to accommodate the front sight gas block; I have a mk12 SPR-alike that has an SWS quad on it and the weight of those old quad rails is something you can really do without...though covering them with XTMs in different colors to make camo patterns is pretty fun.

in my experience, and A3 was an A2 with an A1's lower slapped on to keep the full-auto function. this was an Navy slap job because they wanted the modernized features of the A2 but not the burst limiter. the detachable carry handle started with the M4A1 and was carried into early A3's and all A4's, but officially an A3 was an A1 lower + A2 upper.

note in the pic that's an A1 lower (squared off front push pin, wholly visible "line" and smaller radius at the rear where the stock is mounted that is beefed up on the A2. the grip will usually also be an A1 grip.

Yeah that's the rifle clone I held. That's what the guy at the shop said, said the handle detached which I guess some did you're saying, and it appears the same. Liked the feel of it and the iron sights. Did not know it was a navy gun. Also thanks for telling me about the A4.

It does have a bayonet lug, so it would work for me.

"FB-9", a project by a guy who wanted to make his own PCC upper, The bolt is of his own design and pretty complex geometry wise so not DIYable for anyone without a Mill, plans to sell parts kits for anyone interested. Current version is straight blowback and uses a MAC barrel but he is planning to make a delayed version that accepts other barrels
1724682969715.png

The same guy has also made a break action 12 gauge upper for AR lowers dubbed "The Thoggler". He wants to adapt the design to eventually fire .45-70. Chamber adapters are another possibility. A chamber adapted model firing .44 mag subsonics with a big integral suppressor would be cool.

You see, this is the beauty of 3D2A/Home gunsmithing becoming ever more accessible, because in say, 2006, nobody would ever try and convert their AR-15 into a single shot break action 12 gauge, because that is admittedly fucking stupid, just go to walmart and get a Turkish shitblaster for $125. But now, you can have a gun with the equivalent ballistic functionality of a turkish shitblaster with an adjustable stock and Geissele trigger. Another win for AR Modularity

What would be really fucking sick is if you could graft a DIY Alofs reloading mechanism onto it

It wouldn't be a Kiwifarms post without some Transphobia
A gross tranny (POWER WORD: MICHAEL CRUMLING, Born 1989) has made an AR out of scrap metal with a few COTS parts, it is functional and full auto (He is an SOTranny)

video of him firing it
https://www.tiktok.com/video/7392766995218943275

In case the video fucks up here's the link to the actual post he made featuring the video

It also wouldn't be a Kiwifarms post without compiling all the details available about this tranny
Personal FB
https://www.facebook.com/mike.crumling/ (Pre-troonout name seems to be Mike, Troon name is Madeline)
Archive
His profile states he went to Red Lion Area Senior High School (200 Horace Mann Ave, Red Lion, PA 17356) which is located 14 miles from York, PA.)

Notice in the photos on his FB page he's doing the same fucking head tilt in each and every single one

Business FB (several pre troonout pics in the side bar)

IG
None of the archive sites want to work today so could someone please try and archive this particular post, it shows him pre-troonout and reveals he has a kid even as a troon

TikTok

reddit

He claims to have graduated from York College in York, Pennsylvania and this is supported by two things, a video of his appearance on the 2018 "Master of Arms" TV show posted by the York Dispatch youtube channel
The Accompanying Article (which contains several more pre troonout pics) reveals he at one point lived in Wrightsville PA (Wrightsville PA is seperated by 12 miles from York PA)

He also appears to have been an actor in a play at The Belmont Theater in York, Pennsylvania according to an article from The York Dispatch (Numerous pictures where he can't control the angle and lighting plus absence of filters reveals him to be fat and ugly

Now you see I thought this Nigga's name sounded familiar and lo and behold he's been in the news before
In 2014, when he was 25 he invented the .314 Atlas cartridge, a self contained pressure bearing unit whose "case" (really a small removable barrel with a breech face and a primer hole) was designed around primitive 3D Printed frames

He used to have a website called Mike's Custom Weapons but it was deleted

Now for the pièce de résistance
I am like 90% sure I have been able to dox this tranny
The Forbes article says he lives In York, PA.
His reddit username is MCWeaponry
FFLs.com (remember, he is an SOT) lists two very similarly named FFL's in York Pennsylvania one of which is lapsed and expired
The first one, Mike's Custom Weaponry LLC (matches his old website name) expired on June 1st 2020. The address listed is 311 BROOK LN, WRIGHTSVILLE, PA 17368 and the phone number is 717-309-9744
Archive
The Second FFL is M C Weaponry (matches the facebook account name) and lists the address as 854 COUNTRY LN, YORK, PA 17406 and the phone number matches as it too is 717-309-9744

Anyway you plug that address into google street view and you are greeted with this

Never doxed anyone before, especially a tranny. This guy is never beating the autistic white man accusations.

Yep, that's the one. The Mk12's much less popular DMR brother for cloning because they're not that flashy or distinctive, but put a carry handle on it if you want to do irons like a more classic M16. Again the rail is the only weak point because I'm pretty sure it's an early KAC and it's got a big old rail-gaposa up top due to the barrel nut. Some discussion of the parts needed here.

The gasblock may be the stumbling point both in a financial and acquisition sense though, so I'd look for less KACy alternatives that still have the bayo lug and flip-up FSP like this, for example. Not perfect, but still has the lug, is a little less discontinued, and isn't super fiddly on installation.

I have 25,000 gun related pictures and vids saved, so i had to dig deep in the vault for this. Its not uncommon for 416s to beat themselves to death. Wildly overgassed rifles. The a8 version is apparently much softer, and i probably believe them.
Click to expand...
my experience with the 416 D is that we needed the newer vented gas block that was added in gen 5 (the US pretty much ran gen 0 and gen 1 416's up until the gen 4 was released as an OTB kit, and then incorporated into the gen 5 that started replacing all further procurements) to avoid excessive bolt velocity. prior to this they were run pretty much with a specific KAC suppressor that has a "bleed" radius added to the ports in the baffles and the exit that meant they were less efficient that other designs, but worked great if you had to swim with them or run around in fine dust/sand. these were never run un-suppressed in the military and were intended to replace the Mk 18 that had issues with certain combinations of suppressor, environment, and ammunition.

Do you think a non suppressed rifle will ever be procured as an infantry rifle going forward? It seems like theyre putting cans on absolutely everything. I know like old m4s and m16s probably won't get them. But new rifles the military buys.
