Re: Will this pantograph engraver work on 2" tubing?

The electric etchers will go as deep as you want them to as long as you keep cleaning out the burnt material and adding some more solution. My buddy has one he uses to etch his company logo in receivers and tubes. He's etched one and measured it to .010 or better. I have this: http://www.e-engraving...

Re: How bad is it to become a manufacture

I just had a lovely sit down with one of the local ATF agents and this subject came up. He agreed that the fee is rediculous and told me that ATF has been working with DoS to either lessen the amount based on net sales or to baes it on the same 50 gun rule as the excise tax. So far it has fallen on ...

Re: Ultrasonic Cleaners For Baffle Cleaning

Heated to about 150-200 degrees Simple Green and water 50/50 do about the best job...

Re: Would you buy a MK23 again if you had it to do over agai

As the USP and MK23 were designed concurrently I'd still go with the smaller USP if I were HK that is. If I were SiG however I'd have gone with their 221.

Again, I never said that they had no redeeming qualities or that they weren't a good gun. My biggest issue is that they went through a drawn out, expensive R&D and testing program to come out with essentially the same gun (only needlessly larger) that could have been built from an off the shelf ...

Re: 30 carbine subsonic loading

The USAF played with subsonic .30 carbine ammo using 150gr bt ammo back in the late 60's and decided it wouldn't work for numerous reasons. There is another guy on here with a F1 suppressed carbine who rolls his own loads and had success. His name escapes me but he was happy with the project.

I would seriously doubt that even a skilled forensic examiner could determine if a silencer was used unless it was a wipe style can and assuming that there were no issues with baffle strikes. If it's within a couple feet then GSR or lack of could possibly be an indicator but I really can't think of ...
