What happens when a Norinco 223 meets it's maker.

This was the gun of a coworker that had this happen to him earlier this evening. Our head gunsmith took a look at it and deemed it to be a combination of bad metal in the receiver and something to do with the ammo.

The ammo was factory Hornady Superperformance 53gr.

Either a "hot" load or most likely from what we figure is a bullet pushed too far down into the casing causing a dangerously compressed load. The reason we are leaning this way was due to one of the other factory loads having a bullet pushed too far down into the casing and because the shooter really slammed the bolt home and may have pushed a bullet father into the casing causing over pressure.

Luckily the shooter wasn't injured at all and was a little shaken.

This is fucked up. Whoever let him get the gun is in a lot of trouble.

Apparently these dickheads come out with a new list of words they want banished every year, because it hurts their feelings. It is what it is

We know its 98% contrived bullshit.

We know its a dog and pony show. The laughable circus of an 'investigation' just makes it that much worse. If they had spent 1/10th of the effort investigating this on real issues like the border, our economy or a long list of other issues, we'd basically have next to no real problems.

What's happened with people who were there is unforgivable and illustrates the difference between what they say America is, to what it actually is, better than I could ever describe.

They want you to remember it as an overt attack on 'your freedom', when in reality, they want to punish you for seeing them crawling around on the floor having panic attacks and crying like a bunch of bitch ass faggots. All of them.

I thought this was a really insightful video. I completely agree with Scott's assessment. I believe this wide acceptance of the thumb over grip is a symptom of a lack of fundamental discipline and/or as he describes early on; a poorly fitting rifle. Ergonomics matter and the grip is usually the first ergonomic interface that we interact with. It aids in the CONTROL of the rifle, which is what thumb over shooters intend to enhance, albeit counterintuitively. Coincidentally it is usually the first ergonomic interface that we're willing to disregard.

I also agree with the "thumb dance" explanation, but would like to take it a step further. The AR/ Carbine was intended to be a fighting rifle. A rifle that was meant to shoot move and communicate. The "thumb dance" not only adds time on the clock in a competition. It also inhibits the users ability to "Shoot, Move, And Communicate." The rifles originally intended purpose. By choosing a thumb over posture we are decreasing our ability to control the rifle while moving.

What do you think?

Just heard Joe is going to the border to get his narco sales bonus and a humanitarian award from the Cartels.
Anyone else here?

Edit: Hint for the humor impaired: Read the text not just the thread title.

*TRADE IN PROGRESS*

Hi guys,

Have an almost brand new AI AX50 ELR for sale today.

Color is Elite Sand.

I bought it as a like-new demo rifle from EuroOptic - I don't think it's been fired from looking at the bolt face and muzzle brake, and I haven't fired it.

It's just sat in the safe since I got it - my access to a piece of land that could accommodate a .50 fell through, and it's not worth shooting at 1000 yards (furthest access I have).

No marks / scratches on it that I can see, it looks brand new.

Price is SOLD shipped via my FFL to your FFL, fully insured.

Comes with box and manual (which comes on a USB drive from AI).

Mainly looking for thermals as trade (+/- cash as appropriate):

Trijicon REAP-IR 35mm Thermal (2nd gen+)
NOX35
Halo LR
LWTS
ClipIR-LR

If it's a quality 640 60hz thermal - try me.

Also willing to add in an NF 7-35 F1 ATACR in a Spuhr Mount and Accu-Tac HD50 Bipod for the right trade as well - namely a ClipIR-ELR.

I accept Paypal F&F (if using G&S add the 3%), I also accept Venmo (same rules apply) and for established members, I would also accept a Personal Check (which will absolutely clear before this ships), or a Bank Drafted Cashiers Check.

Please PM with any questions.

Thanks.

I was working on my race car. I had welded in the brackets with bolts to hold the seat belts in. And darn if I did not screw up the nut when I welded it in. Too hard to see behind the seat, some splatter or something got in there and the bolt WOULD NOT GO. So instead of cutting it all out and re doing it all over I decide to cut the nut off and just weld a new one in its place.....much more easy.

Grinding away and the cutting disks grabs and bounces off my knuckle. Gloves, no those are for pansies. Well crap that hurt but not bad, stop and decide I better wash it out, all that metal dust and all and stick something over it.

I look at my hand and my knuckle has a very sharp cut right down the middle, no blood. Almost looks like it is burned but that black could be metal or disc dust. I am standing there next to the car and my wife was there with me putting on stickers. I am standing there looking at my finger and you can pull on the sides of the cut and open it up....cool no blood and no real pain. Hay hon look at this, do you think this is my knuckle bone? She freaks a bit but with no blood not that bad.....yea I think it is. Hay look at this you can pull on the sides and see inside real well.....don't do that.....why it is not doing anyth.........the damn broke and the blood started to really flow.

never went to hospital, you can't sew up a knuckle. Still have a good scar on my index finger some 30 years later.

Lets hear 'em.

As in the title. I think I have trimmed about a hundred cases with it. Also includes Inline Fabrication mounting plate and extra bolts for case stops. $650 shipped CONUS.

A Republicans continue to eat their own, enter Dan Crenshaw, who describes Republican holdout voters as 'terrorists'.

when woodworking. Click bait got ya.

Wood dust really messes me up, I had been using a fairly bulky 3M mask, and being human I did not really like it. So if I had one or two cuts to make I would not put the stupid thing on.......and enjoy the massive headache that came later. Felt like my eyes are going to be blown out of my skull.

So I wanted to try a new mask, and get one a little smaller and a little more comfortable. Something I would wear when cutting wood, or sanding on a car....do more car stuff then anything else. So I bought one of these after watching about a billion different review videos on YT.

The wife has had issues working outside for years and has to wear a mask when on the tractor or mower. She always did something like this


A little lighter and a little cooler. Fairly cheap with replaceable filters for them and a exhaust valve in the mask. It does work pretty well for things like seed, dust and general "outdoor" type crap that bothers her.

Story time:

I got a fairly new induction heater not long ago. If you don't know what these things are you put a coil of wire around a nut or bolt hit the button and it will make that bolt or nut glow read hot. It is basically a blue wrench without the fire. I had played with it a few times, used it once. Last night I was taking off a leaf spring and the bolt was rusted tight....I grab the grinder and then think....wait I have this induction heater, lets play with that. Well sure enough the nut got glowing red....but you know what else is on a leaf spring at the end....yup rubber. Melted the rubber like hell.....bubbles and smoke billowing out of the spring.....well shit stupid you should have known that. The entire shop was covered in a smoky haze....looked like when they opened the van door in fast times at ridgmont high. I had the mask on and goggles (got metal in my eye grinding on something but that is another story).....and you really can't see because of all the smoke, and it is starting to burn my eyes. Figure I will go inside and open the shop and let it air out a little. Take off the mask and go to open the door. (should have opened the door then taken off the mask, but I ain't that smart) and good god you could not draw a breath in there....it was horrid, but in the mask I did not smell a thing.

Sold.

So if you are fooling around with metal or wood....or have issues with thing in the yard, you may look like a comic book super villain but darn I don't care, it works great.

Picked up a trigger shoe and it came with a reset spring so heavy it made my trigger twice the pull weight(5lbs). I did the “Bobby pin mod” and now have a 2lb trigger pull(I modified internals). I don’t really want to keep it half ass long term as I don’t like how it torques another spring. so I need to make a 1/2lb or maybe 3/4lb torsion spring(measured by trigger pull when only trigger and reset spring is installed)

How do I go about figuring out the wire diameter needed, is there a formula or have any of y’all done this before?

the company who made it doesn’t seem to understand what “the springs too heavy” means so I guess I’m on my own. I’ve been googling but it’s all crap for garage door springs.

Posted here since more people will see it, any help is appreciated.

Here’s the spring I need to replace

What's the fastest way to remove the military crimp from 4k pieces of 5.56 brass without spending a ton of money to do it?

I know there are machines that can do it in a couple hours, but I'm not spending $2k to do it. Also want something more effective than the phillips head screw driver bit trick.

Thanks!

Should I buy a Curtis vector action? Most of all the posts are a couple years old. Looking for knowledgeable opinions either way. Thanks

Has anyone used the Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18 FFP EBR-7C MRAD. Looks like it might be a great scope for the money.
Thanks for your input’s

Apologies if this was posted previously given how old this is. Found the video interesting.

Anyone that has the "full video" with shots fired, please share.

I don't hunt hogs, but if I did I would consider moving to a semi-auto platform with a red dot.
