    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    No problem. Give me just a bit to get the parts list together. Currently at work, but I’ll post it hopefully this evening. I did not us the MGNZ board on this build. Been debating on changing to it later down the road. Wanted to keep it simple starting off to make sure I could get it to...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Thanks Dragonetti. It’s a Cool Master - Master Box Q500L. When I first got it, I thought I wouldn’t be able to fit everything in there. But I made it work.

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Just finished mine up today. Many Thanks to some of the hide members for helping me out with my questions through PM’s. Went with a 36v 16.7a power supply that is running the ZVS board only. I currently have to 36v PS adjusted to the max at 42v. Might tinker with the voltage later. I have a...

    Annealing Question

    Thanks fellas for the responses. I appreciate it. When I first got into annealing years ago, I noticed the same coloring on some test pieces of RP brass when I was experimenting. I never really got them too hot as I was just testing things out and experimenting. Must be something with the...

    Annealing Question

    Thanks for all the reply’s. So here’s my set up and the way I have been doing it. Been running it for about 4 to 5 years now with no issues until these two cases popped up last night. When I initially started annealing, I did use some templaque 750 but have since transitioned to the pitch...

    Annealing Question

    Just got through annealing a batch of brass and noticed somthing odd. Out of the batch of a hundred, two of them have a copperish color to them just below the shoulder. Same process as before, just turned out different this time. This is the first time this has happened on this batch...

    Suppressors Suppressor QD Muzzle Brake Comparison

    Didn’t mean to ghost everyone. Got busy with life and had to step away for a bit. Finally received my can. Went on ahead and mounted the SiCo brake and I have to say I’m impressed. Recoil reduction was pretty darn good with no major decrease in accuracy. Accuracy was the same with the can...

    Suppressors Suppressor QD Muzzle Brake Comparison

    Thanks for the info fellas. I hope more chime in in the next few days with their experience on these as well. Good thing is the Omega will already come with the ASR mount and brake so I'm not out anything. I'll give it a shot to see if I like it or not. As many have already said once I put...

    Suppressors Suppressor QD Muzzle Brake Comparison

    As I sit here patiently waiting on my first Form 4 approval for a SiCo Omega 300, I find my self searching through many options on QD muzzle brakes for suppressors. I have read quite a bit about different brakes, but can’t quite find the info I’m looking for on the suppressor QD brakes...
