Same questions from yesterday, just want further input if possible. Thoughts on the Leupold Sentinel or Leupold range glasses in general and or good alternative brand suggestions? My old 'range' glasses/sun glasses are beat to hell and scratched up since I used to do a lot of yard work in them, also they were cheap to begin with so now I'm looking for something fancier that will actually protect my eye's from the suns UV rays. Also they're on sale at my local indoor range so I don't wanna miss out on that. In fact I think they're for sale pretty much everywhere.
Someone also suggested Oakleys but I know for a fact I'll be getting a specific pair for Christmas, also I dunno if they're range rated nor would I even want to take a pair to a range anyway.

I'm probably gonna get them anyway but I value your input anons.

In terms of the Sten- how hard would it be to make pic related?
Also does anyone know where I can find measurements for the original Sten tube, and what type of steel they used?
I’m thinking about building my own.
>>
>>61974200
Pretty easy to find a PDF of Israeli-spec STEN MK2 blueprints. Just search for STEN on Scribd or something.
>and what type of steel they used?
The receiver tube is just plain mild steel, not heat treated.

The collar with the magazine well would be easiest to make in two parts.
Make the mag well and just weld it to a section of tube.
Alternatively the collar can be completely omitted if you just weld the magazine well directly to the receiver like a MK-I STEN.

On a rifle? Yes. Fucks up barrel harmonics.

That is possible, you can look up some on Amazon and they should have dimensions listed. I recommend Amazon mostly because of free delivery, since shipping can get prohibitively expensive if it's not free.
>>61973276
When you have such a long cartridge with straight walls extraction becomes a huge problem. They stick to the chamber, especially if loaded to high pressures. This can be addressed with a polymer coating like FN use on their 5.7x28mm, but still adds unnecessary complexity as opposed to a slightly tapered necked cartridge.

How safe do you want your safe? Do you wanna keep a dedicated criminal prying away for 40 minutes till he gives up or brings out the welding torch and diamond drill or just keep noisy kids out?
Sturdy safe makes one that's like 14"W 12"D 60"H but it ain't exactly cheap. Otherwise I dunno look online for cheap narrow safes from HomeDepot, they've got plenty of Chinesium options are are good enough to keep young kids out. I wish there were more high end narrow safe options honestly. More chest safes too that aren't made of pot metal as well.

Also I can no longer with a clear conscious recommend '''Liberty''' Safes like I have in the past because of 'that thing' they did, basically they handed the master code to all their electronic safes to the FBI WITHOUT a warrant so they're effectively dead to me and I hope they go out of businesses soon.
No I'm not even a Megapeed tard, I'm just uncomfortable with how quickly and without hesitation they did that. I don't recall the victim even being a J6 rioter, last I checked he was in DC but as a peaceful protestor at the Lincoln Memorial or whatever.

Went to the range to shoot my lcp max. Group was fine horizontally, vertically it was measured in feet

Different anon but have you tried the original single stack version? Some people for whatever reason shoot those better, probably just the shape of your hand or whatever.
Granted I can't really compared myself since I've only ever shot the LCP single stack myself but I never had any issues with it.
>>
>>61978132
Those are all possible. Anticipating recoil is another possibility too--that's first thing I'd check.

>>61978106
Anon, get some snap caps. Next time you go to the range load your mag with a random mix of snap caps and live ammo. Do this with your eyes closed so you dont' know what rounds are in what order. Now go shoot and see what happens when you pull the trigger on a snap cap. I'd be there's a good chance you find you're jerking the gun downward unintentionally to compensate for the recoil.

Do AR-15 FSB pic mounts also affect accuracy I can’t find any information if does.
>>
>>61980583
Anything you attach to the barrel affects the mass of the barrel and therefore it will affect barrel harmonics. Whether that affect is significant or not is pretty much impossible to predict though.
>>
>>61980583
Not as much because it's sitting on the gas block rather than the barrel itself. It's a less than stellar solution for precision shooting, but if you intend to do that you should have a free floating barrel anyway. For practical functional accuracy it's going to be insignificant, although adding the weight of a light may throw off the balance which may be a more tangible problem.

What do you think is the cheapest decent quality one then? When I googled it a reddit post came up saying Rock River Arms (which is $50) or Windham but I'm not trusting fucking reddit. I don't need the buffer assembly btw just the stock. And it looks like you can get a nice FN one for about $100 so anything between those points? If I have to spend that much I would get the FN or the oldschool colt.

Nahhh, I just hate the thing. It's cheap plastic and ugly and every part of it is flimsy/loose. It's the same one in the pic, the 'Urban Sniper.'

Hm. You're completely right that's ugly as shit and way too low (I knew it would be low thus the riser). I don't know why I thought my pistol grip had that lower vertical piece but it doesn't. Maybe I'll go for something more like picrel, then. Big thanks for cluing me into that, anon.

mesa tactical does make high tube adapters for shotguns and the adapter the pistolgrip is attached to is a mesa. might be able to do that but it just seems really dumb.

that thing is breaking my brain lol. No I don't think I want to mess with all that, it looks like it would put the grip too low and far back from the trigger too. The grip is quite comfortable in current configuration, but the buttstock is short and low.

Those are "bifold" doors, not sliding doors.
Three easy ways to lock them:
1) hasp and padlock
2) install deadbolts near the hinge of each door which go up into the frame or down into the floor. Or both.
3) picrel is specifically made for bifold doors or pocket doors.

The velocity would depend entirely on what load you came up with, but the idea is old. People have made wildcats like that for decades. See .223-08, .22 CHeetah, etc. Assuming you kept the pressures around factory .308 you'd be looking at about 3200 fps from 16".

So what you want is a glorified locker then? Oh V-line makes those and they're pretty good for what they are. Mind you they're wall mounts so you gotta cut some drywall to install them but me personally I think that's a plus since it means you can hide them a lot easier. But if your not comfortable doing that you can always hire a carpenter and it would still be cheaper than having professionals lug around a thousand pound actual safe.

Cheapest model they have is like $360.00 retail BUT that's for the shotgun model, granted you could fit a normal 16" barrel AR in one with a non standard 20 or 10 round magazine and then keep the standard 30's in pouches or whatever but the wider more meant for rifles cabinets aren't to much more expensive honestly.
Also manufactured in the good ol US of gAy's if you care about comparing American pot metal to Chinese pot metal.

Just buy more ammo for what you've already got unless you intend to hunt or train yourself for military service or mercenary work or get into long range competitive shooting. If your not gonna do any of that I wouldn't bother, maybe a basic AR or Rossi or Marlin lever action some time down the line if you find a good deal for one but don't make it a mission you have to fulfill now.

As for bolt actions? Just get something like a Tikka or Howa with a decent cheap piece of glass from Vortex or Leupold I guess and if you ever wanna become a huge glass snob and upgrade to a Steiner or whatever well you can always just through your old optic unto a different gun or hook a poorfren up with it as a gift.

I've seen those things scatter all around Walmart and in my personal experience the only thing they sell that isn't complete junk are their lodge cabin cast iron pans and that's pretty much it.
Nah I think I'll pay the slight premium for something I know for a fact will work because they'd get sued into poverty if it didn't unlike some random factory in Shenzhen that just changes their name whenever controversy or lawsuits gets thrown at them sorta like what Backwater does.

AR500 steel is fine anon, stop being a pussy. If you see incoming projectiles you can't avoid just angle your body in a way that they ricochet away from your gut and face while tucking your arms behind yourself. This can be done by bending your head backward and raising your chest forward while doing a squat or by rotating your torso in whatever direction doesn't have people behind it or even towards other enemies intentionally so they get pelted with shrapnel from their own guys.

Fellas with a laithe- in the future, if I decide to design my own gun, then could I count on paying you to make a few basic parts with threads?

Fully semi automatic rifles aren't salt rifles, they're sporter rifles or something.

>>61987331
Yeah but they've also got good UV protection and other features that would make them good for overall casual wear too.
I have normal clear shop glasses burred in my garage for using tools an stuff.

>Is an AR that only fires in semi-auto really considered an assault rifle ?
Correct.
The media calls it an "assault WEAPON" instead, and "assault weapon" does not have a clear definition, though there are plenty of contradictory legal definitions of "assault weapon".

When mounting a scope to a bolt action rifle does it have to be 100% level for it to maintain accuracy at longer ranges? How bad will it be if I am off at all or even 1 degree off? A couple degrees?

Does the ATF's new tax stamp approval process just benefit suppressors, or is every eFile Form 4 subject to approval in a matter of days?
>>
>>61994604
I'm sure some actual PRS nerd could do the math, but yes, being off-level either due to poor scope mounting or having the gun tilted will fuck up everything outside of the exact range and wind the rifle is zeroed for because all your adjustments will be slightly sideways.
>>
>>61995044
An estimate of the error would just be basic trig. Your windage would be off equal to an amount equal to [bullet drop at whatever distance you're shooting at] multiplied by [the Sine of the angle that the scope is off by].
Windage error = Elevation hold x Sine(Scope mount error angle)

That's not 100% exactly correct but it should give you a rough idea.

Is there any real difference between the red and blue snap caps?

According to my LGS everything is fast these days. I believe it, I did a couple E-files a while back, one was a form 1, the other a form 4, both took under two weeks.

one is hot and the other is for cold

I want to design my own gun but no matter what’s I come up with I’m not happy with it.
>>

I recommend a spiritual journey: Shoot a couple cases of shotshells as a warmup. Move onto large-bore rifles, SBRs with brakes, and big-bore snubnose revolvers. Find a way to get black powder into the mix. Let the recoil, muzzle blast, and powder smoke take you away. When you wake up in the morning the gun design gods may have blessed you with inspiration.

>>61995792
Nobody else will be happy with it, either, because it's not a Glock or AR and it's too expensive. The best way to become a millionaire in the gun industry is to start with a billion dollars and a neat idea.

Makes sense

The burden of an artist/designer/song writer/engineer Et cetera anon, there is no cure. You'll keep try and trying again till your finally satisfied with something you've created long enough to ride the high of accomplishment or burnout for a while and take up another hobby temporarily.

Thanks anon. I appreciate it. I guess I just need to stick with one idea.

I work at a major resort. Earlier that day, I noticed a hard lump on my rear gum. I kept running my tongue over it, wondering what I did to cause such inflammation. A few hours later, I was in the elevator and started pressing my finger against the lump. All of the sudden, the limp moved. I felt warm, Metalic liquid burst into my mouth. Pulling my finger away, it was covered in sticky blood. Just at that moment, a guest entered the elevator and smiled at me. Normally, I would ask them questions about their stay. Unfortunately, my mouth was fill of blood. I just smiled and nodded in her tits direction. As soon as I as able, I spit a mouthful, of blood into the nearest trash can. I repeated the process a few minutes later. I take good care of my teeth, are there any anon dentists here? This probably has nothing to do with my ownership of quality firearms.
>>
>>61997353
idk, gums are weird
sometimes you just get these weird blood zits for seemingly no reason
if it doesn't keep happening continuously for weeks I wouldn't worry about it
>>
>>61997353
Do you regularly brush your teeth enough and use mouth wash? Do you drink soda often enough to potentially have a tooth/gum infection? I'm pretty sure prolonged lead exposure just causes mild retardation and cancer in fully grown adults over time but that takes a long of time.
Could be a diet issue? Inflammation perhaps and you should consume some more anti inflammatory foods and perhaps drink green tea too. Do you eat hydrogenated seed oils regularly like vegetable oil or canola oil? If so then you should probably stop that.
I dunno, if this persist then maybe go see a dentist.
I used to get bumps to back when my diet was more or less absolute garbage.

Also your question is probably more appropriate for >>>/fit/ to be quite honest. They'll probably be a lot more helpful than anyone here is gonna be.

>>61980583
>Do AR-15 FSB pic mounts also affect accuracy
Yes, anything touching the barrel is gonna effect accuracy/harmonics. Question is though what kind of AR are you building...?
>A 20" or 22" free floating barrel AR where the receiver and hand guard are all made of a single piece of billet aluminum?
Then you should probably not use a sight mounted rail.
>A 16" rifle or 10" pistol AR?
Probably doesn't matter enough to bother caring so go for it if you wanna mount stuff like a light there and not change out the entire hand guard then go for it anon.

could you detect a stealth aircraft flying close to the ground with an airborne radar by looking for an airplane sized hole in the ground clutter?
>>
Are there any lightweight rmr mounts that are either lower 1/3 or taller? Looking to slap this on my wwsd rifle.
>>
>>61997812
The WWSD's feeling of lightness comes from the relatively heavy fixed stock and lightweight barrel and carbon fiber handguard shifting the center of balance back toward the pistol grip, like it is on a bullpup. It is lighter than an average AR, but it's not a "lightweight build" per se and you shouldn't feel obligated to put lightweight parts on it just for lightness's sake.
Using an open-emitter pistol dot like the RMR to save weight is pointless since it's going to be mounted near the middle of the gun where it'll have almost no impact on handling and it's barely any lighter than an Aimpoint Micro anyway.
