"Locked from the outside" ---- WTF?? How can that pass Fire safety rules? -- Surely you MUST be able to unlock classroom doors from the inside? -and thus be able to lock them from the inside as well??--
THAT makes NO sense ---
Sometimes the original thread starter does not know what he sets off.. :mrgreen: NZ .. yeah ... they have the right setup there.. I went there for a month to hunt in the mountains on DOC land. I could not bring my own suppressor (Legally owned!) because of silly export/import rules, but once there i...
Jeeez ... Hockey Pucks .. Seems to me that careful "Situational awareness drills" and safety training would be much more effective. If you hear gunshots, take cover, press alarm buttons .. Start moving pupils to safe rooms .. when there, lock the doors (Which should be strong enough to res...
I completely agree that owning the "host weapon" is extremely restricted in my country, in contrast to the US, no discussion there, the difference is, that we have not EVER known any "freedom to bear arms" That has always been a "priviledge" granted by the government to...
Each time I read thes threads on "DIY-silencers" made from a variety of "Legal" parts, I am lost for words... Why is it that in the US of A, supposed to be the "land of the free" "silencers" are seen a such a problem, banned, vilified and taxed beyond any reas...
There are at least two VERY different types of Carbon fibre "items" - The polymer-bound (usually epoxy, polyester or thermoplastic bound fibres) and the "Ceramic Carbonfibre" The first types are dependent on the Tg or thermal deformation limit of the binding agent. There are spec...
The principles from "Anechoic chambers" probably won't do much to eliminate the noises from a firearm, unless you shoot inside such a chamber .. The effectiveness of the "cones" in an anechoic chember relies on the wavelength of sound being in the range of the physical size of th...
I don't think you get to decide the definition. You can't enter a debate with your own definitions for things. Why the h... not? :shock: Who gets to decide which "definition" is the correct one? -- Please notice the "" around the word "Definition" :wink: @dubloon : I'm...
I try not to "define" "socialism" as a totalitarian ideology. That has nothing to do with the reality of the countries where the best of "socialism" and "capitalism" has produced a nation with some of the lowest homicide and crime rates, along with widespread ...
First of all "Johndoe3" How did you come about YOUR definition of "Socialism" -and is it correct? -- That very much depends on how "Socialism" is carried out as real world politics. In my country "the Social Democrats party" took this little country from a rat...
My method is like that of Eccomachine - only I use a set of pre-made precision bronze "pins" that have a slight press-fit to the given calibre, and I really do not care how much out of true the chamber end of the barrel is, since that has no influence on the precision of the bore/thread/sh...
What makes anyone think that arming more brazilians will LOWER the homicide rate ? Logic dictates that the rate will go up, at least for a period. Brazil has the same problem as a lot of countries with high economic growth, but no real control of, or distribution of wealth. The difference between ri...
Hi! Two things: 1: I agree completely that Aluminium is not the choice for Full Auto work - even when anodized it will loose a lot of its strength when heating up. 2: Cleaning aluminium with alkaline cleaners like ovencleaner is a BIG no-no -- All Alu alloys are very easily corroded/dissolved by thi...
What REALLY astonishes me is how ignorant (or just plain stupid) some people are about the definition of, and use of the word "Socialism" How can someone calling himself (or herself :wink: ) "Historian" think that what people now a days call "Socialism" has ANYTHING to ...
One of the older members of my gun-club is a retired cop .. He carried a duty gun for his entire 40+ year career, and never fired a single shot at a person.. (He did shoot a car and several animals in the line of duty -- :roll: ) but he can tell stories all night long about the times he pointed that...
@ the P7 Gas delayed blowback: I remembered it wrongly :oops: -- the flutes in the P7 chambers are there to ensure that the case is "released" - my bad -- As I remember he P7 mechanism the gas vent is just forward of the chamber, and directs gas onto a piston that in effect holds the chamb...
Interesting thread read .. The correct mechanical engineering explanation none of you guys have .. (Workbench Yoda :mrgreen: ) -- Or don't bother writing, so allow me :wink: When a Browning-type "Delayed blowback mechanism" is correctly employed, the barrel and slide are locked against the...
H&K did just that with the P7 pistols in 9mm kurz and 9 mm Para They had to add some kind of "fluting" to the inside of the chamber to help the case to stick at the point of highest chamber pressure. (At least thats the explanation I seem to remember reading 20 yers ago) The H&K Ro...
Gneeek .. a "Gun hoarder" -- Clearly such a person could neeever be accused of having some minor mental issues .. :mrgreen: What would you think of him if all the "new in boxes" were clock radioes or different models of game consoles .. -- :shock: That does not in any way imply t...
Yep -- it happened years ago in England .. Back in the late 80'ies following "The Hungerford Massacre" .. I'll let you do your own Google-fu .. :mrgreen: They only banned Centrefire Semi-auto rifles -- In 1997 they banned ALL civilian handgun ownership - only repeater rifles and shotguns a...
And finally, I once owned a .376 Steyr version of the Scout. It was a crap-load of fun but there is about zero chance I would ever need such a beast so I sold it a few years ago when I was desperate for cash. Ha-ha! I did just the opposite, sold off the .308 -- The 376 can be handloaded to cover vi...
Given the configuration of the original Scout barrel, you could probably turn down the front portion of the flutes, up to the short full profile section, then shorten the barrel a bit and thread at the unfluted section. Cutting holes in the front part would effectively shorten the barrel, giving you...
While I certainly do not live under the ASSumption that all cops ar "good guys", I do not live under the opposite ASSumption that "poikilotrm" seems to live under .. In this particular case it would seem that he has at least some point, just based on the simple fact that this par...
Steyr Scout -- suppressed Can/Reflex/Integral-- been there .. The original .308 Steyr Scouts really do have a "pencil-thin barrel" - I have custom made a few adapters, to allow the use for both normal and reflex cans on them. There really is not enough material in the original barrels to c...
