>>65552015>Preventing hearing damage is a civilian cope rationale in order to get them legalized, which is good, but its also pretty much bullshit.You've got that wrong. The first surpressors were commercial items for hunters and sport shooters. It's military use is the actual cope, because veterans are deaf as shit.

You gotta be really on the ball to land these ebay deals.As said before, there's no free lunch. Seller was offloading these at 66% discount, and they're in warranty, so something might be off.
Armor "deal" time. Botach has six Hesco 4800LVs for sale, warranties freshly expired as of two months ago, $1200 a plate. Going off the label, this is the standalone "stops M2AP but goes over 44mm BFD" version at 4.7lb / 0.67" thick version. There is a different ICW IIIA version as well.If you want to less-than-overt quasi Level IV then this is basically the only play absent super baller $5k/set plates like SAECs or that 4.3lb M993 stopper SOCOM is fucking around with, just be aware the 4800LV cannot be dropped, probably was dropped at some point, and isn't "full" IV.https://botach.com/hesco-4800lv-shooter-cut-multi-curve-plate-10x12-never-issued/
Major update from GILLIAM. They have decided that they will NO LONGER be sourcing ANY materials from CHINA. In other words, basically their entire existing lineup is getting taken out behind the shed and shot.They will be transitioning to a full NIJ-certified, smaller lineup which focuses more on higher-end higher-performance products in 2027. I'm mixed on this decision. Prices will dramatically increase if Chinese "white meat" polyethylene is off the table and they're using Honeywell or Dyneema like everybody else. In fact, it begs the question of what Gilliam will be able to offer over Hesco, Highcom, Point Blank, Protech, etc if they're going to be using the same not-Chinese materials and thus level out on the same playing field. Better adhesive?

>>65553348It's just nature taking its natural course. When there is mutual, deeply roited fundamental hatred between groups physically locked together, it can only ever be truly resolved with one group physically annihilating the other. See ukraine vs monke and friends or jews vs palestinians
>>65553983>They have a culture of violence, not prosperity.No shit sherlock. Acking monke will mean new tsar who will have his hands full securing the throne and all of the stealable assets for his friends and family members. Also they will want to leech off ziggerstan for years to come, not grind itself to pieces for literal lines on the map because of the sovok gopniks imperial nostalgia. Monke corpse is a convenient scapegoat to whom the whole botched invasion and bankruptcy can be blamed on too. And more than enough willing participants in the west to play along with the lie He is the root cause of this war and its primary perpetuator. Even zigger imperialists are getting that pozzia needs a breather and get away from falling into chang vassaldom. By the time they would be recouped enough for their next chimp out, pozzia would be even weaker than it is now. Not to mention that snowgerias general behaviour also in large parts depends on its specific tsars personality
>>65554619>Right now monke is trying to even bring the chechen paramilitary under the zigger MoD and determine the next king of chechnya without kadyrovs consent.Source? Wouldn't It be easier to just leak his location to ukies and let nature take its course?
>>65553348>It's a mess Anon, a horrific, nigh-unfixable mess.YepI really do feel very badly for those pygmy people's as they just want to live in their jungles, do their hunter gathering stuff and they don't bother anyone or start any crazy shit. But they're losing their places to live, sold into slavery, eaten, arbitrarily shot for no reason and its just too dangerous to send any help or protection through that whole sub-Saharan area.

Can someone explain why the US Government doesn't want the most effective firearm in the world at the time (invented by an American even)?
>>65550522>you don't understand what this is supposed to meanThen explain it, if you can.>>65550522>yes as long as the action is designed to not explode it won't, no matter if it was made from brass, wrought iron or hardened steel.Explain that word salad too. If you're ESL, admitting so will count as explaining.>>65551973>rolling block wasn't ordered again after better Yes, service rifles are in fact eventually replaced after better models come to market. You are aware that the US no longer uses the trapdoor Springfield these days, right? The rolling block was arguably the best rifle around in 1870. When the Winchester 1885 dropped, the armies of the world didn't suddenly throw out their Remingtons and adopt the next best thing. In 1898...well, that's another story.
>>65545809>tilting block is a more close comparison because it's also got a pressure bearing pinIf you mean the Peabody/Martini family of actions, no, it hasn't.The pin only serves to control the breechblock as the action is opened; when closed, the rear of the breechblock bears against the back wall of the receiver to handle the thrust of firing.
>>65552522>Then explain it"muh metallurgy" is retard drivel and no super metal can save a bad design.>Explain that word salad tooit's perfectly legible if you weren't a total retard.>You are aware that the US no longer uses the trapdoor Springfield these days, right?is this supposed to be an own?>The rolling block was arguably the best rifle around in 1870>it just is, because i said so!
>>65552973you're kind of right, the breech isn't rested on the pin but the through pin housing around which it rotates, so the foces are still concentrated in a smaller area around it.
>>65553025>"muh metallurgy" is retard drivel and no super metal can save a bad designAnon, the rolling block made the jump to smokeless specifically because the metallurgy improved. Remington didn't change the design, just the metal. (And don't tell anyone, but the same is true for the Winchester 1885.)>perfectly legibleI *think* what you're trying to say is that a good action is one that won't explode, which is no gun ever made, not then and not now. Implying otherwise is kind of silly.>is this supposed to be an own?No. Proudly stating that the rolling block wasn't ordered again after better alternatives were available, as if this hasn't been true for basically every military rifle ever produced, like it was some kind of argument-winning gotcha was a self-own. Someone arguing like that either isn't too good at English, is retarded, and/or is going through autistic sperg rage.
OP from the tools thread. I don't feel like being a tripfag, boards are for interests.This one's for WEAPONS, and this thread is anything to to with making, mangling or consuuuuuuming sweet Harbor Freight porn.I'm traveling down memory lane and making 2" example blocks of some rifle barrel bedding ideas.I can remember some resin and fiber mixes. I recall a pillar bedding I think cut from some kind of high temp plastic... it's fuzzy but bedding was the autism focus in like 197 when I got into owning guns. So I want to hands on explore some of that. It may motivate me to buy a gun just to do it- the Ruger American screams "touch me with a dremel".
>>65553157Take a look at this chart for all the materials they make here https://www.smooth-on.com/charts/ or in pdf form here https://www.smooth-on.com/assets/pdf/Technical_Data_Charts.pdf which IIRC they print out at like 15"x25" in store. They also have more info about general use and some examples on each product here https://www.smooth-on.com/products/ and on each individual product's page as well as their YouTube channel. Free shipping over $100 too, and it's probably cheapest through their site at www.smooth-on.com and once you find a material, click "Smooth-On" or "Reynolds Advanced Materials" under "Buy Now". Some craft stores also carry their stuff with a markup but I prefer buying directly to make sure it's in date. They've been around since fucking EIGHTEEN NINETY-FIVE and mix all their stuff in-house as seen in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDXBc71Dgbs video. Also they do in-person classes. Also check the Reynolds Advanced Materials site (their parent company) as they have other stuff like clay for filling gaps, modifying items, adding pour spouts, or just sculpting shit that's compatible with the silicone you're making molds from and won't inhibit its cure. Multiple hardnesses, too. I don't even use their pricey vacuum pot or pressure pot but as expensive as their materials are, they're very good IME. I'd recommend getting "wine preservative" gas instead of buying their $$$ canned nitrogen to preserve unmixed resin though. Savings are insane.You've definitely seen their materials used somewhere. Mythbusters and just about any practical FX masks molded from someone's face for use in movies use Body Double to make the mold. Purple is regular, green is Silk which has a built-in release for beards and hair. Their sheer variety and quality is why I "shill" for them.

Great timing op. Looking for a brass case annealer and I’d like to try a magnetic induction tool. I might drop up to $2K but I’d like to keep it around $500. Some models make clear they are not for non-ferrous materials. Are they lying or is their some physics im not understanding are different in magnetic induction hearing?
>>65552408you want a vise you can mount the case in if it's being a cunt and you want a good wrench that won't slip as easily. mount the watch in the case vise, then the case vise in a bench vise, press down on the wrench to keep it seated with one hand while turning with the other. esslinger.com is a good source for watch and jewelery tools and stuff.

>>65554988Doesn't have to do with cleaning rod retention. You need the GB without it, otherwise the spiker won't fold all the way.

I’m not talking about something that would destroy a planet but let’s imagine China or the US colonizes Mars and builds a laser powered by a nuclear reactor with an output of a few megawatts, would it be possible for them to start forest fires on Earth without being detected?
>>65554425No, anyone with a 7th grade understanding of physics would understand why. I know OPs are always retarded, but the last few years they've taken the fucking cake.
>>65554928>was your first thought at what I was hinting atThat's what everyone else likes to sideways 'hint'.The government aren't doing it either. They're just incompetent and/or shortsighted and/or arrogant.
>>65554425It's physically impossible. For interplanetary warfare you want a mass driver on the moon hurling rocks at your targeted planet.
>>65554425Lasers suffer from charged particle spreading, this isn't much of a factor until you are firing it millions of miles. For example the 140 million miles to Mars would be a major problem.
