Nothing apocalyptic there. Just enough to have a fun afternoon or two with some friends.

Polish harder it's still blocky.

It seems like it is intended to slide along a posp rail or something from the design.

Nice work. It must be torture waiting on that stamp.

I've been meaning to try that for a good long while now.

He's not that good lookin'.

Is this what you do for a living?

I sent him a box of semi-sorted range brass. It was packed solidly with bags sorting out the various broad categories. Apparently they soaked the box, tore it open and several of the bags inside, mixed them up and re-closed the box several pounds lighter.
For anyone who is interested, This box of about half pistol, half rifle brass was a large USPS flat rate box and it held 34 lbs 3.1 oz including a few bags and a small square of cardboard. I filled it as full as I could without bulging the box, as I didn't want problems.
These were going to shandy for basically the cost from the scrap yard, shipping and a little bit extra he gave me for the trouble of picking them up. It was mostly an experiment to see if a brass trader could get ahead just by sorting out a random collection. Most of the wierd stuff he was interested in, that I normally see had been picked off before this particular trip, so I didn't get as much of the types that Shand. was looking for, but it still looks like a basic sort and tumble will be money ahead of once fired brass rates.
So, after getting less of the fancy magnum rifle rounds and a partly lost shipment, It looks like he still came ahead, but not nearly as much as he could have compared to what I usually see.

There would have to be to make room for the present. That and it sounds like it is 4 lbs lighter than the shipping label.
It looks like a case of theft and an insult.

I dunno, Gary maybe Otaku, but not gay. I seem to recall that you put a lot of attention into making your guns pretty too.

It's been a while since I've seen anything unique. Cherry blossom definitely qualifies.

Must be a Century build.

I thought of doing one of the smaller star cockades, but then I saw that someone else had done it. This one is big bulgy and curved. I'll probably make it into a tiara if I can find a girl fun enough to stick it on. It came with a bunch of other Ruskie militaria that I bought in order to get some pieces I made into cufflinks.

So Jelly.
Have you reworked the trigger yet?

Lovely.

Thanks.
Interesting info. Sounds to me like their training is a work around for a poor design rather than a "best practice".
The most common gunshot wound of US soldiers in the middle east is supposedly caused by carrying the m4 on a single point sling. With the muzzle dangling down and to the left, the trigger snags on something on the chest area, and the rifle fires in around the right side of the left knee and the projectile exits around the left side of the left ankle. I've seen a few pictures, and they serve as a good counter point to "the 556 is a poodle shooter...." The mistake was that the safety was either off, or got bumped off. True some are finger discipline too, but many are not.
Anyway, I would expect there would be some similar problems with soviet soldiers running with safeties off. One thing we do know is that the Soviets never liked to accurately report their failures, so I suspect there were more than we hear about.

Tiger. For looks and ergos.

Yes, yes it is.

Sorry, I didn't intend to direct any ire at him-- he didn't say it directly, so I didn't think it would be taken that way. I was more irritated about the condescending platitudes people say without much thought. I cringe if I realize I have just said the most obvious thing, the thing that a person has heard hundreds of times.

I rode every day for almost 15 years. Over 150 thousand miles and never had an accident. Dropped my ride twice because my foot slipped on oil at a stop light. Got out of it because I did have several close calls, especially in the last year I rode. I miss it. Glad you are okay. Were you wearing gloves? To me, they were just as important as my helmet.
I was wearing helmet, semi-armored leather jacket, boots, but left my gloves on my desk. I pretty much always wear the gloves, but I carried them in with me rather than leaving them in my helmet as usual. This is very unusual for me, but fortunately, I only had a couple very minor nicks on my hands.

That is one of the most annoying things about this other than the cracked vertebra. Every single $%^&*" person says some variant of "lucky you were wearing a helmet!"
-- Of course I was wearing a helmet, and a decent one. Luck had nothing to do with it. Everyone with the smallest amount of sense does. Even without a modicum of sense all but a couple states have required you to for decades.
You may as well tell everyone with normal limbs "lucky you had a polio shot!!!" "lucky your mom didn't take thalidomide" or every person who doesn't go through the windshield "lucky you were in a car designed after the 1950s"
I'd take "glad you weren't one of those 'tards who wears the little wannabe Wehrmacht helmet." (Anyone who says they wear that stuff for comfort is lying. They wear them because they feel BA when they wear them. Nothing is comfortable about wind in your eyes over 35 mph. Looks is the reason, and the only reason. And there are full face helmets that can actually have better airflow around your head than 1/4 helmets.) -- Rant off.

Nice looking part.

My mistake. Versions sold to Civilian Ruskies have a mechanism like I described. I should have looked closer.

I think I would rather store powder. If you want though we can start a thread to send you a powder making kit though.
I haven't loaded any thing in black powder. If I ever get one of those winchester lever shotgun clones, I'll have to do some.
And the only part of this kit I expect to last more than a year or so is the can.
