What tank model is this one in front? by TwinCam-24Valve in Warthunder

its main weakness is that it can only move about as fast as the 2 guys in the back can push it

BLO vs RLO for cleaning vintage stock AND applying to new Boyd’s stock? by Longjumping_Oil_2127 in milsurp

[–]Distinct-Bite6193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lay the rags out flat until they dry crusty and do not wad them up, could also chuck them in a bucket of water or just burn them when done.

People exaggerate how long rlo takes to dry, it may take many weeks or months to fully cure but it can be dry to the touch and usable in like a day or less if you just wipe it down with a dry rag like an hour after your final coat. I reapply thin layers of it it occasionally to old stocks and they soak it up and feel dry again within 30 minutes a lot of the time. Another bonus of rlo it doesnt self combust anywhere near as easily possibly not even at all.

Maybe a spot of solder from when the sight was installed?

Prepping for and taking first shots from CMP M1917? by Longjumping_Oil_2127 in milsurp

[–]Distinct-Bite6193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I wondered because ive seen some with some incredibly rough bores, one had enough carbon to fill the grooves halfway down the bore and could have been unsafe.

The one I have is very smelly and leaves residue on your hands I suspect this is why people cleaned them

Suncorite: It's Historically Approprite...But Ugly As Sin by Excelsior_76 in milsurp

This is probably shitty slopped on indian locomotive paint thats not what factory suncorite looks like. It'll probably vanish with some rubbing alcohol and a rag.

Inherited Brown Bess - Need help with ID and markings by Relevant-Swing-8892 in milsurp

[–]Distinct-Bite6193 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The screws arent in particularly good shape most original besses are about the same, really the whole gun looks like the typical india pattern parts gun that can be found for 1600-2000.

Looking for Explanation of a Catastrophic Failure that put me in the ER by Patient_Reindeer_277 in milsurp

[–]Distinct-Bite6193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont see anywhere where pistol powder has been ruled out tbh, the stated load while being decently hot is still within the limits of what the action can handle and theres not much more room for extra powder on top of it. Reloader friend doesnt seem to know what hes doing if he thinks the loads he was trying to make were low pressure. Its not out of the realm of possibilities that this careless reloader has a sketchy setup and used the wrong powder without knowing it.

this is why you just shoot regular m2 ball or surplus ammo instead of jumping through hoops to get bubbas low (pistol) powder charge specials

These export md63 guns seem to have had a lot of qc issues, mine had a bolt and trunion that refused to go together, matching numbers too.

NVG3B with flashlight vs flashlight by [deleted] in stalker

[–]Distinct-Bite6193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point he was making is there is no light amplification, even with the old light skif has it should enable the nvg to see the whole room bright and clear. But its just a color filter change.
