They expeeeeeeeeensive. Russian ones from early 90s like $2800-4k at Tulsa gun show. Or maybe I thinking the “tiger” don’t remeber if that’s the same or not

I have this cool wood stove in basement of new house but wife is militant about not using it cause she has kinda bad asthma. I think I could move the stove to either the old wood bunker with a shed above it or stick it partially through this door we have right next to it, with the stove facing out so only the radiant heat is in the room. We on propane, and it’s only 1$ gallon locked in for this winter but I just love radiant heat, and it’s just sitting right there being cold haha. What you guys think?

Ya it’s the led model. Sent it In at some point and they upgraded it. Buddy said incandescent shows corrosion (airplanes) better.

doin some yard work after kids go to sleep.... problem is that i left my rechargeable battery charger at my brothers... will see him in a couple days, but in the meantime ive dug out my stinger. i have 5 batteries for it so i dont want to buy a different flashlight etc as a solution.... so that got me to pondering a hands free mount for it... sure its kinda heavy but lasts awhile and gives off great amount of light... anyone pondered this as well?

ya combo features sounds good... i m thikning about installing a bricked in section into the hill for a grill/smoker... pondering doin the tulips idea from holland or whatever... lil windmill. other flowers terraced on side...

That’s a liiiiiiiitttle less elaborate than I was thinking, ha! This is my scrape with the kids in it notice the steel there in bottom right of the center area Did a lot by hand, prob 20-50 truckloads over a year. Skid steer started it but I kept on going

So. I’ve been pondering this concept for a couple years, right now I have a big scrape in the hillside. And my other place has just a hill of dirt. I’m trying to get a feeling of where folks are and aren’t on this new place so I can guess where (potential) ricochets would go and to Make sure that Isn’t where folks are... but once I have the location figured out I trying to ponder how to incorporate some cool landscaping. Flowers, terraces etc. any thoughts? Dutch windmill? Hahaha

So I initially thought the lil nub was for minimally interfering (friction, hydro lock, lessening gas effectiveness) but I think really if it is pointed the other way what the cup does is increase the surface area of the face where the gas can act. So if you are dealing with limited port size only way to increase the “work” done by the gas that you have in the chamber is to increase the “force” of the work... think my physics terms are a lil mussed up hence the quotations, but the general idea is more surface area for gas to affect = harder push on op rod which translates to more bolt velocit

Ya the lack of shortened gas puzzles me. It’s the reason the saigas and veprs got a bad rap. If the gun won’t run and ya don’t wanna work on it you’re gonna be disappointed and talk all your buddies outta buying them. Super heavy fail on the part of Russian manufacturers and American importers...

which patents? links please for research! the price on these is down to $940. im loving kusa shipping products... havent looked at reviews but options are nice!! https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/811777020425

ah good times... when we get moved im gonna bone up on my load data and see what i can find... guys over at castboolits suggested a simple tube mold with the ends installed for your ogives etc... i was hung up on makin the correct bore dimension where a piece of tube etc would work nicely

the shell had to come off to get into the action.... i think its only 6 screws, but screws had to def be removed before top cover came off... hole as in bad casting or as in a on purpose hole? i feel like i could almost get my bolt/carrier installed wrong as well on that tristar, which with "stacking tolerances" or whatnot on clone guy i feel is a recipe for disaster

Measure twice cut once haha!

Let’s see videos already!! Fave Ramsey says what makes your idea succeed vs someone else taking and stealing and succeeding with your idea is YOU. You are the X factor. It’s your baby you gonna stay up late and come in early to make it happen. Worst case if someone steals your idea, you come up with another!! Because if you have one good idea chances are high that you could come up with another. Food for thought (patents expensive)(and I’m curious, and visual)!!

The Konrad will prob not run birdshot until the gas system is shortened. They didn’t do their homework and gonna screw themselves with reliability issues. Or doin the apple planned obsolescence routine.

I was looking for some more cheap herters birdshot( $40/250) the other day when I noticed turkey loads from them are 1 3/4 oz. so maybe this big ol slug wont destroy anything.

I think it’s just a 10/32 screw through the handguard. I want a komrad, at least for receiver/trunnion. May have to rework gas to run on something other than buckshot. But will still be fun

hmmm i have noooooo i dea... the only things im thinking about are it shouldnt really matter? i turned a barrel OD down for a 3-4'' gas system shortening, and it takes aloooooootta meat off it back to near where the forcing cone is. folks do it, so i assume it doesnt impart "grenade" characteristics

so normal wads are kinda weird, if i remember right, as they dont completely seal, thats the reason for hte gas check. or it doesnt seal the top of he powder completely. i wanna say hte nitro card is actually an 11ga (available at BPI etc). that maybe the reason for the 730 bore, to have no obstructions...? sorry for not addressing everything, watching kids etc limited time to look away

barrel is like 730. or at the high end of .72x" ive been wittling at my bold little by little and mold one and see if it drops down easy. i would like to see if we could rifle one of these barrels. or, maybe just convert to 12 ga or something... as far as loadings go, the components they used past the gunpowder are pretty forgiving. the nitro card and the squishy plastic disc thing (name eludes me, kids frazzled my brain/interfere with garage time) are forgiving. i think the hull and base wad of the hull is the most critical part, or the part thats gonna get you i

and where your upper come from for $150? thats a great price haha

i have a lathe, but like everyone with one of those i am getting ready to move, so finishing landscaping and getting ready to sell is higher on the priority list... i thkn you could do the drop in slug, yoyu just use a regular wad, with the lee mold anyways... i will try and screen cap some of the facebook mag mod things that run with no nose cone later

I’m gonna be in Loveland on mother’s day, lemme know if ya wanna get together ya, modern gunsmiths in stores basically mount scopes and clean guns. Not that I hate them, I just think most folks don’t want to pay what an actual smith would want. Plus dealing with the smiths particular “attitude of the day” is a lil off putting. Granted, my experience is coming from being that punk kid who undervalues the guy who has put in the time.

mike bush is the original engineer on these. i thik he is at "vuduu tactical " or something in idaho/utah etc. i dont know how much he can say based on the patents on it or something? i was emailin him or a while, dont reemeber what all info i got out of him. will look back over them as far as nose cones, the are 18 or 18.5mm model rocket cones, but i dont know where from. (china) im sure they could be bought in bulk, if we could talk to the right person. 3d printing them would prob be an option as well. or ive tried makin them outta paper mache. thats time consuming fo

hahah i knew someone would be interested eventually!! somewhere someone posted 32gr of mystery powder, i think? dont know where i got that info. ive been using 28-30gr of 4756... i havent tried launching those nosecone cloned slugs yet. the slug in the picture weighs 2oz or so. the facebook group sucks. not any good discussions in there. somone posted pics of modding a mag to run with a spacer in the back to delete the nosecone.... i plan to mod a lee slug mold to have lands that will ride in the full bore, and somehow make it a slight hollow p
