    Re: Raufoss round I am not familiar with such rounds, how do the penetrator and high-explosive components fit into a .50 round? I got three cartridges on my shelf and compared to the penetrator, I don't see how the rdx/petn can even fit into the projectile... If anyone could enlighten me...

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    Re: Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android! So far my only issue is the weather data not being fetched (as I wrote in a PM recently) and the fact that the latitude is not saved for coriolis. I don't need it, but if it is activated I have to scroll down to type in the same exact value...

    Bolt coating

    Re: Bolt coating My bolt is PVD coated (TiAlN, black). It is still intact after several hundred rounds. If I have to renew the coating, it will be an even darker TiAlCN. The same coating is used for milling tools and only about 1-4 µm thick. The advantages are apparent. High heat...

    Photos No Smoking!

    Re: No Smoking! Not much of a story...someone had lost his cigs on the range but nobody admitted his bad habit. So I made an example of the risks of smoking. Distance was 100 m, so nothing I couldn't handle with the Federal 147gr FMJ ammo (not the ammo shown). A nice 5€ target...

    Re: Roedale RB-07 .308 Howdy, "neighbour", nice rifle you got there. Wonder what the maximum distance is you can shoot that rifle over in the netherlands? In northern Germany, we got two 300 m ranges and a military training area with over 1000 m we still try to get ahold of.

    KMW Surgeon Tactical bolt knob discontinued?

    Re: KMW Surgeon Tactical bolt knob discontinued? With the new design, probably. Glad I got the old design in time. Might increase in value The new one looks neat, though. Is it a bad thing to have several bolt knobs? Any known obsession?

    precision rifles... show em

    Re: precision rifles... show em Somehow I like that 1911. The long gun has some similarities with the AI .50 used by the german army (G24)

    Gunsmithing Metallurgy of Modern Custom Builds

    Re: Metallurgy of Modern Custom Builds As long as there is no electrochemical corrosion... Most of the materials you mentioned are Chrome-Molybdenum alloys with < 0.50% Carbon. Pretty common steel with a balanced cost-benefit factor. No surprise in the arms market. Aluminium (or Aluminum...

    Re: Lothar Walther polyg.barrels I got a LW barrel with polygonal rifling, but can't comment on the velocities, since I don't have a chrono. I'd like to hear an answer to this thesis, too.

    Hey there, any of you got a drawing or the dimensions of the Mk23 rail interface? As I understand it, it's an unique design, and my search came up empty. I'd like to keep myself busy designing an optics mount for my Brick, but I lack the tools to measure properly. I cannot take the pistol to...

    Bikini style cover for S&B 5-25?

    Re: Bikini style cover for S&B 5-25? Yes, fits scopes with up to 62mm objective diameter. Cut off one strap, that way I can use it with a 50mm sunshade. Attached the other strap with rip cord to the scope, so the bikini doesn't fall off. No pictures yet. If you insist, I will take some for you.
