      Generically those are called stand off devices because they block the slide from being pushed back out of battery. That one looks integrated into the frame though which is interesting. I must be looking at it wrong or it's photoshopped because I"m not sure how you'd get the slide on and off if it were integrated.

      There was a trend in the 00s about always using gross motor skills instead of fine motor skills. The idea was that using the slide release would be risky during a high stress environment (i.,e., out of battery reload). Smart people questioned this and said, instead the magazine release and the trigger examples of fine motor skills? Now good instructors teach both ways.

      I feel for the Gucci Glock meme by using an Aimpoint ACRO combined with a Kagwerks slide release for a high bore grip. Now I can’t sling shot the slide without occasionally hitting the adjustment buttons or occasionally bending the slide release and getting a glove or thumb punched.

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      From what I've heard it's because using the slide release to allow the slide to go forward causes unneeded wear on the slide whereas pulling it back and allowing it to go forward is a more natural movement and causes less wear.

      I dunno if that's true or not tho, sounds like another thing that makes very minimal difference in the long run.

    For niche reloading anons-
    Hornady has recently run out of 7.35 (.300) bullets and so far has not talked about manufacturing more, taking with it the last option for bullets in the Carcano as far as I've been able to find. Does anyone know of option for reloading- possibilities of casts or maybe another company that makes them, or even a swage to shrink .308?

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      That's not a caliber I handload for so I don't know where you might be able to find off the shelf projos. Casting is an option. So is having a company make lathe-turned bullets at that diameter, like GS Custom. Swaging is most likely your best bet though, it's going to save a ton of labor over casting and will certainly be cheaper than having high-end custom bullets made.

        Anonymous

        Aye I was worried about that, unsurprisingly there isn't new production for ANY of the equipment for this save for Lee's die sets, so even coming across a swage is going to be a pain... but at this point there really isn't much of an option

        • 2 years ago
          Anonymous

          Normally I'd say cast 'em, but that's more practical for either pistol or black powder calibers. The carcano is no slouch in the velocity department so you'd have to fiddle with gas checks and I'd bet you'd still have leading.
          You might check with Corbin about swaging dies.

          If you know anyone who has access to a metal lathe it would be pretty easy to make a swage die you could use in any common handloading press. Buy 7/8"-14 bolt about 2-2.5" long overall. Chuck it up in a lathe, face and center drill the end, then drill it through with an "M" size drill (0.295"). Then replace the drill with a #6 taper pin reamer and run that into the hole most of the way, just leave about 1/2" of the .295" diameter at the very end of the hole. Now run a .2995 reamer to finish the last little bit of the die. Polish the ID with fine auto valve lapping compound and a wooden dowel. Then repeat with fine metal polish like Flitz. Even if you have to buy all those bits it's probably only about $75 in total.

            Thank you a lot man, I'm probably going to go the route of swaging it like you said. There's a machine shop that specializes in fittings near me and I'll see if they could do this. Now this should work fine in my reloading set, but to hold the bullet I'm guessing there's a swage bullet holder or something?

          With sealed and crimped brass-cased ammo, that's not even a 1/10k chance. That'd require a catastrophic failure in the ammo and even then it'd only be one case blowing up.

      I'd imagine they avoid it if at all possible, due to how risky it is. But when I was in the Army a Green Beret told me their method was to shove a knife up the taint rupturing the diaphragm, preventing the target from vocalizing at all and causing them to bleed out fairly quickly, but who knows he could've been yanking my chain, but he did say the knife needs to be a minimum of 6" and if he was just messing with me I don't think he would've included such a minute detail.

    Any reason not to do this? The idea is dependent on gunshow boomers not knowing/understanding how to use ammoseek, and I really have no idea if they do or not. Worse case scenario, I'm stuck with a large quantity of ammo, but that's not that bad.

      Most big distributors like Sport's South, Lipsey's and Zander's won't even let you open an account unless you have an FFL, even if you're only trying to sell ammo or parts. Your best bet is buying bulk import ammo from ~~*MCT Defense*~~ or some other importer. MCT was bringing in Yugo M67 last year and selling by the pallet, but you had to pick it up at their port of entry. Alternatively, importation licenses are cheaper than FFLs, and you can get them for batches of ammunition, but you're on your own trying to buy international.

    Making ammo is extremely time consuming laborious work without at least $10k in gear plus affordable primers can be difficult to find. They used to be about $30/1000 and now they are going for $100/1000 but in sure the major ammo manufacturers are still paying low price for it. Cheapest powder will bi titegroup for pistol rounds. And cheapest brass will be once fired and need to be cleaned and processed. Rifle brass tends to be expensive. I don't think it's really worth it. My 9mm reloads are costing about ~.30 each which isn't as cheap as the cheapest 9mm ammo but im using hollowpoints and loading +p.

      Grip training should be treated like any other type of strength training. I would start with rice digs for hand strength and and, if possible, general strength training without wraps or glove.

      As for sport specific strength, buy 25 snap caps and 5 days a week perform Tap Rack Bang dry fire drills. The snap caps will insure that you are fully pulling the slide back. Start with 5 sets of 5 TRB and slowly reduce the rest between sets and/or increase reps. Once you can do 25 in a row you’ll be good to go. By-the-by, is loading handgun magazines by hand difficult?

      Look at it. See that number 815? If the cylinder were shaved down that number would be cut away. Also if it were shaved down the machining marks and finish would be identical between the ejector star and the rest of the cylinder. On this gun you can clearly see different machine marks and different colors of bluing between the ejector and the rest of the cylinder.

    Any reason I couldn't repair pitting with electroplating and polish? Just seems like adding material vs removing it via abrasion is a better strategy for an antique barrel or whatever.

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      The issue with electroplating is setting up the conditions such that the deposition happens exclusively where it is desired, otherwise you will see a corresponding increase in thickness along the entire conducting surface that is immersed in the plating solution. Also, the pitting of the workpiece is typically rather significant in thickness to what is normally plated on to give corrosion protection. Finally, to do the plating properly where it will strongly adhere to the surface, slow-and-steady is how it goes, which could take many days to weeks to get up to the desired plate thickness.

    is there such a thing as a pump action shotgun that works "in reverse" as in instead of pulling and pushing to chamber another cartridge, you push and pull ? and if such a thing exists, could you realistically "bump fire" it ?

    • 2 years ago

      No, that doesn't exist.
      You most likely wouldn't be able to bump fire it since the motion required to operate the pump is quite long and takes some effort. Bump-firing a semiautomatic weapon is much easier since all you have to do is hit the trigger, you're not applying any significant force for a significant distance like you'd have to do for bump-firing a manual action gun.

      too long of an action to bump fire. Counter by shortening pump. While you can shorten the length of pump to an arbitrary degree, that just means it takes more effort to pump which necessitates stronger recoiling shells to unlock and travel the whole distance. What ever you divide the pump distance by, you multiply the pump force required. So a normally 6 inch pump cycle with a (idk what the numbers actually are) 4 lb force unlock/rewiener force required, if shortened to 2 inch pump would require 12 lb force, and shortening down to 1" would make it require 24 lb force. So, in a slam fired gun with the trigger tied down, the pump would be the trigger and it would be 24 lbs and 1 inch of pull. The good news is most mechanisms with resistance can be reduced to arbitrary degrees, downside here is you still need the energy to unlock and move the bolt rearward. Possible to get functioning, but improbable to get reliably.
      >tldr: Yes it exists, no* you can't bump fire it.

In fact, if you're Catholic, you can do this in confession too, the priest is literally obligated on threat of expulsion from the clergy and/or excommunication if he ever divulges things you say during confession (I don't know how other denominations who practice confession handle this. Do others do this?). All he can do is urge you not to do something bad, and he can't administer forgiveness unless you're truly repentant for whatever you've sinned for.
        As well, a priest could gauge if the issue isn't actually psychological but instead a demon.

        Thanks

        I'm not religious but I have no problems with religion. I could never kill myself, I have four little sisters and a mother to take care of.

        I just want to say that even though you're not religious, I'd still trust a priest over a therapist. It's also free to do so, so long as he has time. As per Catholic canon, even non-Catholics are allowed to confess and seek penance for sins. While I don't think sin is what's troubling you here, you're welcomed to speak your mind in a safe place. If your family attends church, I'd speak to their priest as he'd be known to you more than a stranger.

          >obligated on threat of expulsion from the clergy and/or excommunication if he ever divulges things
          Excuse me for this nonsense sentence merging, I'm tired. I'm trying to say that he's not allowed to tell anyone what you say in there whether you've repented or not. If he did, he'd be expelled from the clergy and possibly excommunicated too. Therefore, it's better than therapy because a therapist is going to be about as helpful if not worse, charge you a lot of money, and can report you to the authorities over anything you say twisted out of context. Priest is free, confidential, and may have a lifetime of experience to draw from at least.

          The bullets in the cartridges might be interchangeable, but the cartridges themselves have completely different proportions (x45 vs x51) and likely different pressures (which makes .308 go farther faster)

      Bad for a few reasons.
      >oil wicks into primers = deactivated/dud primers = no bang
      >oil on ammo = higher pressure exerted on bolt if bang
      >oil on bullets = potential damage to barrel due to trying to compress oil between the bullet and bore - maybe? (can't be sure on that one but I swear I remember hearing it, but no data IIRC)
      So don't. If you're that autistic about your ammo, the problem is really oxygen and moisture collecting. When it's sealed, you don't get more oxygen than is already in there, nor moisture. Other than (very fast) large swings in temperature, not much will make the water condense. Don't open it if you don't need to. Buy some metal ammo cans even if just from Harbor Freight; air can pass through plastic but not metal. Real world test on point 2: https://youtu.be/7bhWxFbYdyw?t=758

      Doesn't the vector have an interchangeable receiver area for that? You could probably buy one for each caliber you want and swap them out as you please.

      The one of our range is in 9mm and it isn't the most reliable gun we got, by far. Maintenance will be easier on ar-9's and the likes. Controls for the bolt aren't great. They're a fun novelty in the beginning, but in the end they're just overpriced pcc that have no point in semi auto imo. I'd advise to keep your money and get something else.

      I don't own one but I've handled a repro once. The magazine is similar in size to a pistol mag. Like put two aluminum 9mm doublestack mags together back to back and that should be about it I think. They're definitely more like subguns than rifles, I'd argue that the M2 and M3 were really just beefy submachine guns rather than low-powered rifles.

    If a round doesn't go off in a revolver, and you cycle to the next round in the cylinder, but the previous round goes off afterwards, doesn't the revolver just explode in your hands or at least scrape alongside the barrel or anything else?

      Depends. In BP revolvers (non cartridge), it's usually fine. I'd imagine it's a little more violent in a smokeless cartridge using revolver, though.

      Look up chain firing, it is not what you described but the results (round in revolver chamber going off that is not aligned with barrel) are the same.
      What you are talking about is delayed ignition (sometimes called a hang fire) and is much rarer with modern (post-ww1) ammo.

      https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/m69-flack-vest-1969-dated-1848292094

      If it's the same item it's probably an M69 vest that was made in a limited run with early woodland camoflage.

      Having messed with both M69 and PASGT vests in the past I know that the M69 is much bulkier and heavier than the PASGT. Do you know how much yours weighs per chance? That would probably be the dead giveaway if it's kevlar or ballistic nylon.

      Two questions.
      Question 1: I've tried shooting my Star Model 30 and my aim is kinda shit. Tried this after switching from shooting my AR to shooting my pistol. My AR groups were actually great, but the Star had terrible accuracy at less range. I felt like the recoil was wrong somehow, I'm more used to revolvers. I was shooting 115 grain bullets, 9mm. Should I be using another ammo type or am I just gonna have to train this out somehow?
      Question 2: a girl I know just sent me a pic of a gun and a vibrator on her beside table and said "either way I'm busting". She's told me she browses this site so I don't know if I should post this here. I've cropped the image so only the gun is visible. Firstly, what gun is this? Also sorry for the quality. Original is better but I'd rather not post the full thing just in case. Secondly, what the FRICK does this mean? Did she send me this by mistake or something? At the risk of repeating myself, keep in mind this was right next to a vibrator. I don't think I've ever disclosed my /k/ interests to my coworkers before so there shouldn't be a way this was targeted at me right? Or perhaps it was just obvious? I live in a deep red state so it could also just be coincidence. Do women normally show platonic guy friends this kind of stuff?

      Handguns in general are tricky to shoot well. Star M30 if I recall correctly is a DA/SA design so they tend to have less than stellar triggers. Practice more, and failing that check sight alignment.
      The girl's gun is a SCCY, a really cheap Kel-Tec knockoff. Sounds like she is implying that she is very depressed and treats it with masturbation, potentially inviting you to make it less of a one-person sort of thing. I'd seek clarification from her if that's what she means before running in dick first, but even then you probably shouldn't since she probably has a lot of screws loose.

      Can I get an honest opinion of the Citadel 1911? I’m on a budget and I want a 1911 simply to have one. If it makes any difference I’m also a CA resident and this particular pistol has came up in my research for complaint 1911s. The few things I have seen suggest it is an ok enough entry level (price wise) 1911

      It's basically an RIA with nicer features.
      Only downside is that from the ones I've handles some of the machining isn't rounded off leaving somewhat sharp edges on things like the slide serrations.

      Is it a sign of the lockup getting weaker if the slide automatically releases just by me putting a new mag in without me pressing the slide release?

      That would be a slide release issue rather than slide to barrel lockup.

    why didnt they do rocketball like this? i get the bullet itself probably has awful ballistics, but if you did 9mm or something small for really small subguns and shit, why not?
    the primary problem with rocket ball was it was underpowered and couldnt have much powder, so why not make more space?

      With modern gunpowder you don't even need to lengthen it. The old-school rocket ball load was 6-7 grains of black powder. The modern 9mm load is about 6 grains of smokeless. Just stick smokeless powder in it and it's viable.
      That said, rocket ball arms have other disadvantages. For example, there's no ejector, extractor, or ejection port so clearing the gun without shooting it is rather difficult.

      They (Swedes in this case) actually did exactly what you are proposing. The Italians did the same thing too, with 9mm AUPO and made a sub gun for it.
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benelli_CB_M2
      >Why didn't it take off?
      Despite what wiki claims, it still had and needed an extractor and ejector for duds and malfunctions and clearing it, meaning it had all the same parts of a regular 9mm but worse.
      It costs money to switch to new guns
      It requires much tighter tolerances to get a gas seal as the casing no longer provides that around the chamber locks and firing pin hole(s)
      Slightly improved ballistics (iirc <5% for same powder and bullet weight) are not enough in a world where everyone wants %200 improvement minimum aka the reason why others like the G11 or Steyer ACR wasn't adopted by everyone.

        I mean I bought a RIA M206 so maybe it was meant to be. If this has a shit grip mine must be worse (and I don't even protest that, I'm a weirdo with a hitchhiker's thumb)

        Funny thing is I also started shooting handguns with a revolver and bought a Star (BM) as my first 9mm. The weirdest thing is that out of all the times I tried to shoot it, it didn't group great. But once I was changing targets, alone, so I went downrange and drew it and fired a mag just out of curiosity. Best damn group I've ever shot with that handgun to this day. So maybe try shooting it without putting TOO much thought into it and too much fussing with your grip? Idunno.

        I'll try it. I think later this week I'll bring it with me to the range and probably not fuss with the AR this trip, I'll just bring this and my carry revolver and see if I can do anything with some more shooting experience. At the least I'd like to compare how my groups are with both. Probably sounds hard to believe but the Star is barely used, previous owner put two mags through it, cleaned and oiled it, and left it in the case for years until he had to sell it to pay off a debt.

        Well, my groups are pretty bad so I doubt it's the sights at the moment. I've shot a Beretta 92 just fine so I'm not sure why the Star's acting up. Is it just that I shot it after shooting my rifle? I haven't been able to test it so it could have just been that I wasn't accustomed to the lighter weight after handling my AR for so long and it was just a bad time to start shooting it for the first time. Would that affect it significantly? Do you normally need to train on shooting handguns right after shooting your rifle for long periods? May sound dumb of me but I can't recall doing that before. Maybe I have once, I don't remember.
        I don't think she'd be depressed, as long as I've known her she's been very upbeat and outgoing. Is this how normals flirt? Is she autistic if not? Still, I'll check in to see if she's doing alright.

        Don't worry about it, it was the cap to my cleaning solution. I'm just stupid.

    Is there a 2022 equivalent to how the SKS used to be? Basically a cheap starter rifle-caliber rifle I could buy on a college budget. Is the closest a $500-$600 AR?

      I have a savage 64f, only issue is that you need to be sort of precise on how far you put the mag in or else it won’t feed correctly. The other’s I don’t know. Also, Savage’s have a lot less aftermarket parts and the only magazine available retail is a 10 rounder. Savage started making a 20 rounder for their new tactical 64 model recently, but it isn’t available for sale seperate from the rifle yet

      Marlin used to be that with the 60 or 795. It was like 50 bucks more than the cheapest 22s like what you listed but twice the gun in terms of quality. Unfortunatly ruger owns marlin now and that whole line which was the main competitor to the 10/22 is dead.

        alternatively, are there any tricks to making bolt action more fun?

    What’re some good budget 12 gauge rounds that aren’t birdshot? I want something that can actually down something at a distance but won’t feel like I’m draining all my cash for practicing with them
