the $3.50 in PA6-CF and resin and scotchcast it takes to make a FTN5 or literally just print an OP9 means that the economy of scale works for homemade suppressors better than buying a can. modern designs can last up to a thousand rounds if not more.
The JAKL seems to kill itself just fine from what people are saying and showing, and I question the seriousness of anyone who sees it as a competitor with any modern rifle.
GOA are claiming that ATF have received 130,000 Eforms this year, which I would assume refers to calender year, so those numbers might be optimistic
i thought they said they got 150k on jan 1 alone.
That was NSSF claiming a direct report from ATF, so who knows
I shoot 1,000 rounds in 3 range trips
It will always piss me off that boomer faggots in the 60's would chop up historical rifles and make them look worse in everyway possible. That's a badass rifle I hope the restoration goes well.
in the time they would not be historical, it would be like complaining about someone putting mlock rails on an ar or modifying a hi point. they where just the cheep guns of their times, and not all sporterazations are horrible.
The necessity of Mlok on almost any modern rifle handguard needs to be studied.
fuckin hate it because handling bare aluminum sucks ass and then you have to spend fifty bucks to either get a foregrip, a slanted foregrip or a bunch of fucking rubber strips
I've had previous restoration successes with my mosins and carcanos I've heard lee enfield stocks need a little bit of hand fitting but im looking forwards to the challange.
SMLEs and No.4s operate under some really bizarre specifications to control barrel harmonics, the SMLE has one spring about a third of the way from receiver to muzzle and another spring just before the nosecap which works counter to said spring. This is on top of barrel-to-wood fitment. The No.4 is better but it still looks like a massive pain in the dick.
Idk why the br*tish thought it was a good idea to have they're main mass produced rifle to be hand fitted to their stocks. They could have just put a thicker barrel or somthing else in, but they rube Goldberged a spring for the barrel. That glassy lee enfield action is worth the headache tho.
It saves on weight and it's also the best bolt action used in combat for both world wars so I can't argue against what they did. Except for attaching the trigger to the trigger guard, that's pants-on-head retarded and they finally fixed that with the No.4 Mk.II by attaching it to the buttcap portion of the receiver.
Hey now, I have a 5946 and its great! One of the best DA only triggers on a handgun that I've ever fired that wasn't a revolver.
I put the straight grips on my 5946, it changes the feel quite a bit, almost 2011 ish.
