Gunsmithing Ultrasonic discoloration

I ran the twins through the ultrasonic using 1 part simple green to 4 parts tap water. Not so happy with the blotchy results. Action on the bottom still showing tiger stripes after Lucas Oil CLP and Ballistol application; top action is straight outta the bath with water flush and air gun dry.

Is there anything I can apply to the finish to get it back to where it was pre-ultrasonic or is this just another expensive lesson?

New Mack Bros Element Action... Impressive!

Screenshot_20240125_155812_Chrome.jpg


So apparently Mack Bros snuck the Element action on their site before Shot Show. Looking at the specs and price I decided to grab one for a lightweight 308 shorty build. I also grabbed their lightweight integrated ring mounts.

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this action. As far as I can tell it's the lightest stainless action and way cheaper than the other options in it's class.

long lost Hebrew hammer

Not done yet but it’s coming along, of course converting to semi auto. This is an Israeli DROR. Never even heard of such a thing till recently, the build from parts kit is pretty simple and straight forward. It’s a fairly interesting contraption, maybe some of you nerds know more of the details of why it was a thing in the era it was.

Well crap. Toothless hillbilly in Deliverence killed in a car wreck.

Online stores

What online stores have useful, and accurate, filtering based on firearm features? Seems like a lot of sites use the same search or filter template but doesn't work very well. For example, you select centerfire rifle in the main menu and it takes you to a list with handgun and rifle centerfire, then you select centerfire rifle calibers, and again it takes you to a list that has handgun calibers and rifle calibers.

Does anyone know if brick-and-mortar dealers are shipping orders from their inventory, or do they use their distributors to dropship online orders like dedicated e-commerce stores do? I haven't seen any faster shipping time with stores that have physical locations over online-only stores.

SOLD Terminus Zues QC SA with 2 bolts.

I have a like new Treminus Zues QC Short action with 2 bolts. The action has 16 rounds on it with the standard bolt. Mag face bolt has zero rounds. Not a mark on action. I also have a couple of barrels I would sell with it. I am going in a different direction and decided to move this. The barrels I have are a Bartlein #4 carbon @ 18". The second is a #13 carbon Bartlein at 18" in 6.5 PRC 7.5 twist 400 MODBB DLC coated 5/8 Threaded with APA muzzle brake. Both barrels were chambered by Greg at bugholes. The 22 creedmoor barrel has 16 rounds on it and the 6.5 PRC has zero on it. I will be cross posting this. Guys I am getting a lot of questions about trades. I really need to cash out on this. If I traded it would have to be in my favor and I want it to be good for both of us and not sure I can do that on this stuff.

Zues with one Bolt $1400 shipped
Other bolt after action sells @ $475 shipped
22 creed barrel $900 shipped
6.5 barrel with brake $1050 shipped (Center barrel in third photo)

New 2024 MPVO Options

This is a thread for those of us looking for a lightweight MPVO. I've been watching videos from SHOT and haven't seen much, but this Steiner 4S caught my eye:

Login to view embedded media
Its a 4-16 with illumination and adjustable parallax, illumination, and only 18oz! However, it is SFP, capped MOA turrets, and comes in a lame BDC reticle.

If they took this scope body and made it a 3-12 or 2.5-10 with a Mil-tree reticle that also draws the eye to the center for quick shots, I would be really interested. This could be like an optically superior version of the SWFA ultralight, with illumination and adjustable parallax.

This is beyond a psycho emotional disease.

To grow this quickly its got to be demonic.
