    I've seen items fail that were 3d printed. You may want to test these magazines for durability before use.

    I've seem item that weren't 3d printed fail too. Lots of times. The WidowMaker drum comes to mind. I use 3d prototyping at work and it works fine, if the design is sound for the material used.

     

    That said, give it a go... if you manage to design and print a working mag, good on you, especiallyt if it can use a readily available spring, like from,....say.... another box mag fed gun with lots of spare parts available....

    New to forums so I'll post it here. . . is it possible to blue metal that has paint on it or with it remove the paint?

    You'll have to strip to bare metal and degrease before bluing. Bluing is a form of oxidation. You need to get the bluing chemicals in direct contact with the metal.

  3. The hoarders are still snapping up all the better beef cuts here. I just tried to pick up some sirloins and struck out.

    I keep plenty of food on hand, but when I want steak, I usually just go buy some.

    Maybe I should hoard like the rest of the assholes and fuck everyone else.

    Fucking MartinFoods.

  4. You've got a proud heritage. You joined the Corps, so you tried. No shame in that. You did more than most. 

    As far as combat goes, almost none who served in combat are glad of it. Would we do it again? most would say yes.

    ... a little light reading....

    All who put on our nation's uniform make a commitment and in fact, sign a blank check payable to our country for an amount up to and including their very lives.

    Most would do it again.

    Good one. You could make him feel a bit better and give him a memento.... http://www.naugahyde.com/promoitems_nauga.html

    Here's the whole story:

     

    Here's a bit I wrote a few years ago to prank a bunny hugger at work We kept him going with this for days. He was mad as hell when we laughed and told him it was all a joke:

    The nauga is the hairless male of the species, prized for its skin, used to make naugahyde, while the female, called a faux, is highly sought after for her thick, luxurious fur which can be dyed virtually any color. You see, the nauga are very trusting, and, even in the wild can be walked up to and picked up to be petted, (they love that). They are very easy to raise, being about 40 lbs, and resemble their cousins the capybara.
     
    Naugas look really funny until they re-grow their hides after shedding their skins (Usually after the last frost). They're smooth as an egg and bright pink until the new skin is exposed for about a week. They're the only mammal that sheds it's skin. Fresh skins need to be picked up within 24 hours of being shed, if you want to process them for furniture or car upholstery. Hides over 24 hours off the hoof can still be used to make footballs, baseballs, basketballs, etc.
     
    In 2014, a wild nauga was seen with a pattered skin to allow it to blend in to its surroundings. Evolution has provided protection from predators.
    That hide became very popular among outdoorsman and certain armed forces for clothing and furniture.
     
    For some reason, unknown to science, they appear to be camera shy. If they see you with a camera, they turn away, lean over and touch their noses to the ground., as if showing you their butt. 
     
    Joan Rivers, famous comic and fashionista, has a car custom-upholstered in genuine naugahyde, and back in the 1970s, many a car in the inner cities had been reupholstered with faux fur. Think Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch.
     
    The nauga also have no heart.
    They are the only known mammal without a heart. Their circulatory system works similarly to the digestive tract; ie. by peristalsis.

    This is partially responsible for the slow, placid pace of the creature, as the circulatory system is unable to provide a rapid increase in blood flow, and thus more oxygen to their muscles.
     
    They mate in the spring, after shedding their skins. Their mating call is best simulated by letting the air out of a balloon and stretching the neck... emitting a high-pitched squeaking wail. Don't use a mating call during hunting season... it confuses them terribly, they get all excited, but there's no mate around.
     
    Mating season is a show worth watching if you can stand the noise. Their skins make a very loud sound as they frantically move together, remarkably similar to the sound of two balloons rubbing together!

    The light show from the repeated static discharges is beautiful.

    ...now you know... the Rest of the Story.

  6. Why?

    Curiosity. 

    Because I could.

    Interesting exercise.

    There have been many rounds developed over the years with no discernable improvement over exsisting designs, yet they enjoyed massive success. Why? Damned if I know.

    I just thought it'd be fun. The flour filler makes for one hell of a bang when shooting black.

    It's fun. That's reason enough.

  7. A brand name only impresses snobs. I've shot many guns others have brought to the range, name brand, off-brand, and homebrew. Stars and clunkers both in most of them. 

    Look how people used to turn up their noses at a Savage Tactical, but spent $$$ for a (insert high speed low drag name here) that shot the same give or take a very small margin. ...bless their little hearts.

  8. I just ran my Judge off my deck out back for a bit....

    3" chamber.

    Brass shell. 40gr black, flour filler, 0.0430 240gr LRNFP paper patched to fit, seated to the crimp groove.

    Smokeless load is 9.5gr Unique, Dacron fluff filler, 0.430 240gr LRNFP paper patched to fit, seated to the crimp groove.

    ****LOAD DATA is MINE and worked for ME. If you use it, you assume ALL liability.**** (If you fuck up yourself, your gun, or others, it's YOUR fault)

    Looks like 45-70, but longer.

    L O U D !, snappy. Rattled the house.

    My neighbors love me!

    Dimensional drawing, and loaded 1st attempt round using a 200gr RNFP sized to 0.430 below (before fireforming)  Pressure calcuates to approx. 18,000psi MAX.

  9. On a better note... a simple loogie out the window makes those pesky tailgaters back off fast! :D

     

    Would you believe I just saw two kids out riding their bicycles? Un-fucking believable.

    State-wide stay-at-home order, and they're out without a care in the world.

    I guess they inherited their stupidity from their parents.
