    question on 357 sig vs magnum bullets

    oh well, i'll just get a g26 when the time comes would go with 10mm but I see that more as a full size handgun round not something I'd want fired out of a tiny pistol. But oh well 9mm is a good round nothing to really complain about but god help my wallet if I get some special rounds again...

    question on 357 sig vs magnum bullets

    Just a quick and simple question, is the bullet used in the 357 sig the same size and the one in the 357 magnum. because it seems like they both are the same size, just the cases they are loaded into are different. Also if so, compared to the 9mm how is the 357 sig in recoil, range, velocity...

    Hunting & Fishing Ponchos, Cloaks, and similar apparel

    Color is right but it I guess i would say it wrapped around the body starting form the shoulders as oppose to drape over it like that serape and no zippers. because his stayed closer to the body, without needing to be pulled in. But odds are he had it custom made because he is one of those guys...

    Have you seen this sling design before?

    This is a sling design I saw once and it's single point sling but has a second strap that goes to the other shoulder, looked more comfortable then a normal sling since the weight is baring down on 2 points into of one. So note the first strap loops around back and the second strap goes over the...

    Hunting & Fishing Ponchos, Cloaks, and similar apparel

    This is something i've be wondering since it seems the average outdoors clothing now has such good water and wind resistance, that the need for something like a poncho now is really there anymore. Because the normal wear I use to use in the mountains when I did backpacking and camping and also...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any advice on my knife design

    right now the program the model was created in, says the center of a mass is like about 1 inch in front of the handle. That is without the distal taper, which to me really is just right thou that taper idea I might use in the future.

    Gunsmithing Need A few dimensions off the AK47

    I've decided to create a cad design for a rifle that i've had in my head for a bit, which pretty much is the AK platform updated with a modular design like on AR's and a few other improvements added to. Kinda like a Sig 556 but going to be more AK in design, also haven't decided if it will be a...

    What's the CURRENT 50 state law situation on "armor piercing" ammo?

    From a quick look around tungsten core rounds seem to be illegal but mild steel core rounds are ok since they aren't considering armor piercing. But than again it's not like you ammo is inspected before you can shoot your gun.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any advice on my knife design

    Firearms are more fun than knives, I don't deny that. To bad a gun can't cut food, chop wood, and all that

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any advice on my knife design

    Thats actually a good idea, now i'm kinda depressed because thats so simple and yet i didn't think of doing it. Annoying how such thinks can be overlooked.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any advice on my knife design

    Yeah it's a weird illusion, that messed with me well i was making the model because i kept thinking I messed something up. But ya it's a heftier tanto meant to take unholy amount of abuse, well atleast it should be able to. But I wanted it that way because i don't baby my gear, because If I'm...

    Mosin xlr sytle stocks?

    Do one of you guys happen to have a detailed blueprint for the mosin nagant, which ever version is the most common and it's shows all the measurements and if possible tolerances to. I want to look into this myself, because I'm interested enough to see what it would take to make such a stock for...

    Mosin xlr sytle stocks?

    This is something that popped into my head when looking at some modified Mosin Nagants, anyways i was looking at stocks use and sold for the Mosin and I noticed there doesn't seem to be any milled ones like the XLR stock out there for the Mosin. So i'm wondering are there really no stocks...

    Customized the Mosin

    I would like to make a stock for the mosin that would be along the same route as the xlr stocks, i thick that would be cool but it has a side rail for Russian optics to attach. But I'd need measurements and all that which i don't have. Also how well does that surpressor work on the mosin because...

    Gunsmithing Source for blueprints?

    Something I'm wondering where is a good place I can get accurate blueprints for varies firearms, because I want to give designing a firearm another go. Last time I gave it a try I only relied on pictures to estimate sizing and design, to help me figure out a good base to start my own design...

    Steroids Anyone ??

    Avoid any drugs or items that are "meant" to increase strength or physical capability. It's best to go onto a good workout schedule or go through physical training, and be dedicated to the one you choose. Now granted I don't even have a way of working out, I just push my self to physical...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any advice on my knife design

    What you said about the belly, I find interesting since if the mass is the same but the surface area that strike is less that should equal more force thus increase efficiency of each strike. Thou I know this means more wear is placed onto that point, and because of the belly the overall...
