I had planned on doing the clip and pin on a really nice SEF lower I picked up but the Century receiver is so out of spec the new grip wont fit.
The section around the stock attach pin tube is too wide. It's .031" wider than my HK91 at the same place.
I worked on the 33Klone all day yesterday. Repainted everything, that's the end cap Elkaholic welded for me.
He didn't just attach the sling loop, he also made & installed that little "cup" which keeps the recoil spring rod in place.
Propped up on my last case of Guatemalan milsurp ammo...
I'm trying hard to keep from typing "I hate you" again.
Do you do your own cerakote or do you send them out?
Timely as I'm about to start a thread asking about gun finishing.
I liked the little smirk you gave the camera after the mag dump.
I had a similar problem with my C93. I bought some new, German mags and they wouldn't lock in without applying an amount of force that made me nervous.
An intelligent person would have removed the 20 dollar magazine catch and sanded on the upper edge slightly.
I chose to grind on a seventy...
It was cloudy and gray yesterday. but today was a beautiful day at the range.
I brought the K, C93, FAL, and the Hawken.
Two range trips in a week, that's some kinda record.
Hey! That reminds me of my ex-wife; Twice in one month darling, aren't I lucky.
223 is so nice to shoot compared to...
Thanks for the kind words.
Went to the range yesterday, I'm please to report that it ran great. Accurate too.
I didn't think there would be any problems. I found a chart online that said the 33s used the same LP as the full length rifles.
There's a place ten minutes from my house that does SBR...
I had a plastic slim handguard in my stash that someone had opened the slots in.
I think I paid ten bucks for it. I shortened it too. I cut it on my table saw and used CA (superglue) to join the pieces.
I have a nice one coming from MKE, I just wanted to try this. It looks good from ten feet away!
So many acronyms. so little time.
I set right to work yesterday after getting my approval. I had read about WECSOGing a barrel shortening job by using progressively smaller dies and removing the thread between passes.
I did this once years ago to a Century FAL and it worked perfectly.
I would...
I just lost an auction on GB for a NOS HK buttpad. My max bid was $50.:mad:
To quote secret agent Maxwell Smart I "missed it by that much".
I guess I didn't want it bad enough considering the US made PTRs are $40...if I could find one.
So I'm looking for a VG condition buttpad in black.
Thanks...
So I just got "that" email from the ATF!!
My last Form 1 took 13 weeks, this one took two!
I'll bet they felt guilty about the last one so they made it up to me!
Now it's out to the garage to "put something together".
Just got home from Cabelas. Spoke to one of the gun guys. He said the Ubertis weren't big sellers so, given the supply chain issues lately they are focusing on items that do sell.
That being said Cabelas does have a LOT of stuff. They had Pyrodex, seem to have plenty of ammo in the popular...
I always seem to veer off-course when I make chili. I start with a recipe then, well...
I put mushrooms in this batch. I love mushrooms so there were no complaints.
Too many jalapenos, too much cayenne. I love spicy chili.
