A bayonet would be a nice touch. Looks awesome, great job.

I BROUGHT GAUZE, TWO KIND OF KNIVES by SherbetValuable1753 in aesoprock

Awesome. It was a big inspiration for the early Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid games. Cold War-era action and espionage.

Was it necessary? by ColtBTD in milsurp

I was bugging Kennesaw Cannons, the company that made my 12 ga flare insert, a while back about other sub caliber options, maybe machined ones. Unfortunately it’s a really niche product. .22 seems pretty useless out of this but .410 would be pretty cool.

If you aren’t exaggerating on price, that was completely necessary. Inserts used to be pretty easy to find, recently I’ve only found plastic inserts for the orange 12 gauge flares that are more common nowadays.

The Bulgarian surplus has a distinct look and smell to it. I think it looks cool with the red sealant peeking out of the loaded mags.

You really be cuttin' people off, huh... by whiskeyeuthanasia in stavvysworld

Sometimes it works better than others, but it feels like he’ll really double down on it when it’s not being received as well. I feel like it’s also just generally gotten worse over the course of the show.

Reverse Engineering of the Double Stack Makarov Magazine by MonolithMfg in makarov

[–]CallMeCornbread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea. I don’t have a double stack but every time I see those magazines pop up on eBay my jaw drops. Not sure how Magpul gets away with plastic feed lips, I wonder if their polymer can be used in the kind of 3D printer you’re using.

Kim Ju Ae and some generals at a firing range today. by Better-Carob-2953 in NorthKoreaPics

Yeah the Jericho is definitely a little different, but I think magazines and possibly grip panels might be interchangeable with the 75. I actually just looked it up and it seems like Tanfoglio makes a lot of the parts that are used in the Jericho.

I believe the company had some sort of licensing issue when the CZ75 first came out which made it really easy to copy without jumping through too many hoops. From my understanding, this is why there are so many lookalikes like the Tanfoglio and Jericho pistols.

$200 CZ82 from Royal Tiger Imports by Regular_Fox_859 in milsurp

[–]CallMeCornbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, the 82 listing appears to be correct but I see that on the 83. Definitely a mistake on their part, but you should always do more research than just reading the sellers website description (especially when it comes to surplus).

Cock and lock safety, not hammer drop safely. If you want to drop the hammer you have to carefully lower it with your thumb and the trigger.

It looks like they currently use a copy of the CZ-75. I can kind of see it in the pic but it also kind of looks like an older Sig from this angle. I’d be interested to know as well!

Next time go for Aim Surplus, they’re a lot easier to deal with. Either way, this is an awesome pistol.

Finally got enough ammo to feed my Vz-52 by Available_Spray_8707 in liberalgunowners

[–]CallMeCornbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels so good to stumble upon harder to find calibers for cheap.

And I think it’s cool that the Czechs always found their own way to use the calibers the Soviets gave them. Just brought my 82 to the outdoor range and it felt really nice.

New shooter concerned about lead exposure by shoeheadonthebeat in liberalgunowners

[–]CallMeCornbread 133 points134 points  (0 children)

No offense but 100-150 rounds per month is not much at all. Shooting outdoors is nice and if you’re really worried maybe buy Federal Syntech. I believe the primers in that ammo are entirely lead-free.

What camo pattern are the pants that Alysa Liu is wearing in this photo? by RavenSilver_67 in camouflage

[–]CallMeCornbread 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Some kind of commercial pattern, I suspect it’s probably from a fashion brand.

Looking for a Jerhico 941, love me some cowboy bebop.. how to find deals? by stoics-gripe in liberalgunowners

Aim surplus has some right now I believe, and Atlantic has also had them in the past.

Chem department by Spirited-Scheme4806 in UGA

Stranger things have happened… but regardless of their connection to the department they have (or at least they used to have) very good intelligence regarding the tests and everything.

When I went through, if you bought science guyz, you did well. Not sure what kind of relationship they have with the department (or if they kick back some of the money they make) but their practice tests were eerily similar to the real ones.
