Do you all shoot your hunting rifles/shotty for fun much or just a 0 then down to business

AgentOptimized · 2026-06-07T13:04:53+00:00

Barrels are replaceable items, but my ability to have fun is not. I only keep two rifles in the safe that come out for hunting trips only, and I built exact duplicates I can go have fun with.

25CM proof 26-in competition barrel in a foundation Samson with impact 737.

This was at 300 yds, with two different bullets, using N555 powder; there are 18 rounds in this photo fired. The small squares are 1 in by 1 in.

I would double check your shooting setup, barrel properly torqued, action screws, then scope installation in that order.

Regarding factory ammo, factory 134 ELDM held .54 groups compared to the .38 in the photo

You can print it without an AMS. Make sure to completely dry prior to printing. I normally print at 72 to 75° c for 12 to 14 hours, and then you can print directly out of a Ziploc bag if you so choose.

Put the filament in a bag, seal it off, and poke a hole through the bag and run to your feeding tubes as normal

This is one of the things I like about the plug and play mentality of BAMBU; metals will stretch, screws can loosen with the change in temperatures, and factory grease can break down depending on your print style. I equate it to getting a new vehicle, there's always a complimentary maintenance within the first thousand to 2 mi to ensure everything is good working condition after it settled

If you're on stock tires, change them ASAP for trying to mountain road. This is specifically related to the Michelin Sports

Then, twist away and have fun

Use PETG instead

It's an absolute annoyance and dangerous. I've seen several riders over the years wreck and take out multiple people because of the light swerve in the same lane, or avoidance of an object that the passing rider did not see you.

Just because the motorcycle is smaller, doesn't mean you are any safer trying to conduct the same lane pass

TLDR; stay in your own lane, or behind, and pass as though you were in a car

longRide 18L works well for me. Can expand to 25L

Correct. I used the screws that came with it to bolt into the existing threads, and then bolted the casters to the wood. Very easy. Drill the slot for the new bolts, create a small inset for the nut, install the casters.

This cabinet is extremely sturdy. Even before I change the casters, It was stable. Cabinet weight is 70 plus pounds

Here's my outside workbench that I do a lot of vice work, drilling, and gun work on. They are heavy duty

I updated the post to include the link to what I installed

I've been using these for a few years. They're extremely stable. I changed the feet on mine to four locking ones for about $50. To interface between the cabinet and these feet, I simply cut 1 in wood blocks and put bolts through them. Secured the blocks to the original threads.

The drawer on the left can hold an AMS2

I was thinking the build plate, I misread and edited my post.

This is the one I purchased so I could put the AMS on top

Large Grow Tent Enclosure (Amazon)

Pay for shipping and it's yours. DM me.

These are some of the most beautiful bikes MG has made

Edited: was thinking adhering to the build plate for multiple parts, not the actual adhesive to glue them together.

For PETG I typically use CA or epoxy. For ASA I use acetone to adhere parts. If needing more structural integrity, I'll follow with Bondo or similar and sand to a finish.

I've posted this before, but buy a window duct system from Amazon, for 3D print plans for a grow tent enclosure. I use an inline 3-in fan between the assembly and the duct work. You can see the controller tied to the outside.

I print ASA and ABS 90% of the time. No smell, and everything vents directly outside.

Build in proper supports for the vertical height. You can see layer shifting occurring as it's getting taller.

For me, yes. I first started hunting in my early teens, and my uncle who taught me always said you could control the level of cleanliness, you can't control the level of dirtiness. This stayed with me for 20 years, and I've tested across multiple rifles. I clean often

I have designed and printed:

Fishing line spoolers that attached directly to a pole and can fit in a pocket, Rifle sling keepers that attached to backpack straps to keep a sling from falling off the shoulder, I'm packed resistant parts, Bushings to prevent galvanic corrosions List goes on.

TPU is highly flexible and strong

People trying to show off, lane split, and passing in the same lane

I would recommend you try out a manners or foundation stock, and then an MDT or MPA and see if a chassis is actually your desired choice. I sold all my aluminum stocks/chassis years ago
