Who has hot rods??

Afternoon folks,

I'm contemplating building another hot rod. This will be more of a resto rod or resto mod, kind of car that I intend to drive. No garage queen. I'm talking about 7k to 10k miles a year.

if this is you, how many miles a year are you driving?

Who are you insured through?

Are you sure you are covered for replacement value in the event of an accident?

Thanks
Bob

SureFire FA762-SS cloning?

All,

Those of us with M40A5’s and/or XM-3’s know this suppressor is rare and expensive. They rarely pop up for sale, and when they do the dildo selling it wants some laughable amount for it. So, is there a workaround?

ECCO machine and BSD Fabrication are doing some awesome stuff by utilizing the SureFire (SF) lock ring taken off a Warden Blast Regulator or other SF suppressor. They’re machining the body of the Warden to interface with other modern suppressors set up for HUB attachments, so that those suppressors may be mounted onto current SF muzzle devices/brakes.

My question is can the lock collar from a Warden can be made to adapt/mount another suppressor to the MB762SSAL/RE muzzle device found on the M40A5?

Anyone been down this road yet?

Why no bespoke autoloaders?

With the current discussions of availability of custom bolt actions, this spawned a thought:
Since one of the big draws in premium REM.700SA bolt actions is the aftermarket support, why are there so few custom semiautos mfgs out there? You can build a Ruger 10/22 clone using zero Ruger parts, and still get phenomenal accuracy and reliability. Kidd is fielding awesome products and sponsoring talented competitors.
People have always said semi’s can’t compete for pure accuracy, yet anyone who has spent time behind one can definitely see the advantages of firing a rifle with instant follow-up and the fact you can shoot a condition, especially at longer distances. AR-15 parts have been adopted by many bolt action chassis, proof in the desirable nature of such modularity.
Dedicated rimfire AR conversion uppers are continuously being refined by the manufacturers, to the point you can tweak and tune many parts of the firing cycle.
Isn’t the rimfire world ready for full customs from a AR-15 platform?

Night Vision WTB: Insight/L3 PAS-23B MTM-Pi Thermal Monocular (640px MTM)

I have an L3 PAS-23 MTM-Pi 640px thermal monocular. Basically looks and behaves just like a regular 320px MTM, just with higher resolution. It’s an oldie, but a goodie, so I’m looking for another one.

I loaned mine to a buddy and failed to tell him NOT to point it directly at the SUN(!!). So, now mine has permanent burn-in.🤮

So, if you have a 640px MTM, drop me a line. I have cash or possible trade items.

Tell me what laptop to buy

I need to buy a new laptop for my small business. I want a windows based computer to run quick books and surfing the internet. I do not need to run any powerful software or anything like that.

I need something very basic for my very limited computer skills. My budget is open but I don't think I need to spend a ton to get what I need. I have been shopping and I honestly can't tell one from the other. Hope to get a few solid recommendation from others that know more than myself.

Thanks

Bench setup and workflow help

Im new to reloading and finally working on getting my bench setup. I want to make the best use of my space as this is where I’ll setup new rifles and do all my cleaning. The left wall with outlets is all wood and sturdy so I can mount whatever to it, along the back of the long bench there’s an 8-9” gap due to the pillar so I can build shelving of some sort to take up that empty space as well.

I have a rock chucker I’m planning on only setting up with my ugly priming tool, a Forster coax for everything else and a Henderson trimmer. I want to keep all that stuff on the short bench but I’m not sure if I should hard mount all, none, or somewhere inbetween using something like inline fab stuff. One thing is I’d like to get the rock chucker on a riser and leave the other 2 flat. I can put the scale on the long bench where press movement won’t affect it since I didn’t mount the 2 benches together. Recommendations would be appreciated

Ammo 7n6 Poison Pill 5.45x39 ammo

Got this from a buddy who inexplicably opened two tins. The ammo is still lacquer sealed and has been in climate control since opened.

I think 50 cents a round is as cheap as it gets online - two cases of 1,080 (each opened) plus several hundred loose rounds.

ETA - one tin minimum to ship or if you want the loose ammo, IIRC it is 600ish, but I'll get a better count soon and round reasonably in the buyers favor.

Actual shipping applies

Gunsmithing Bullet tumbling

I had a friend at a law enforcement agency call me this week wondering about bullets tumbling really bad in a lot of ammo they’d purchased several thousand rounds of for practice ammo. He said they were tumbling at really close distance and the tac guys were getting light baffle strikes. I’m no expert but, figured I could rule out a few things and figure it out and I’m stumped. They’re 62 grain 5.56 cartridges being shot out of rifles that regularly shoot that bullet weight they are 1:7 and 1:8 twist rifles and the bullets showed similar results across multiple rifles a few larue and other high end rifles. They paper tested them and they’re fully keyholing at 7 yards. The guys shooting aren’t dummies by any means. I assumed the bullets were undersized but they’re measuring an average of .2253 (can slightly oversized cause tumbling?) the boat tails are scuffed terrible but I imagine that’s par for mass produced factory fmj. I milled 10 of the bullets in half and everything on the inside appears evenly filled and normal from what I have seen. I don’t have any pride here I’d just like to help these guys out since they’ve purchased a boat load of this stuff, and probably are going to need some reasoning when they send it back or attempt to.

Quadriplegic midget - beat up some cops .

Login to view embedded media
Or that’s what they’d have you believe to justify that they roughed up and arrested a quadriplegic midget because he didn’t show the proper respect .

Look how violent and aggressive he his
while they talked to him outside the garage

And the pig bitch asked him who had custody of him . A grown ass man . .
