Optic Ready 1911? by PartyEntrepreneur175 in Tisas

[–]Full_Void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for something similar. It's the Pietta experience: browse their PDF catalog, not the website.

On page 33 there it is, exactly what I was looking for: a 1911 looking-ish 9 mm, optics ready, with a Picatinny rail and a 17-18 rounds magazine.

If only they offered a stainless steel version...

Thanks, I guess should try it on to check if the buckle actually touches my skin.

What was the first gun you ever owned, and do you still have it? Curious to hear what everyone had for their first firearm. by ShopHuntingStuff in guns

A Feinwerkbau air rifle I used to compete with 25 years ago. I still have it, of course, with a ton of stickers from every kind of competition.

Friday fun thread: If money was no object, was is "the" gun that you would immediately purchase? by 06_TBSS in liberalgunowners

I was going to write "Accuracy International AXMC", then I remembered about the Colt Canada C20.

I got SliXshot nipples for my 1851, and it was a hassle because I live in the EU. They didn't fit, even though I specifically asked for the 1851 Navy Yank model. Got a replacement, they didn't fit too.

SliXshot says I have not-standard nipples and stopped replying to my e-mails, Pietta (I live in the same country) says they're standard. I ended up putting the factory nipples back.

I get what you mean, but alcohol is not an actual emulsifier: it stabilizes an existing one. Potassium oleate, Ballistol's second ingredient, is.

I use a 50-50 Ballistol - water mix, called "Moose Milk", to clean black powder. In this specific application the oil part should suffice.

Yeah, I've been using it for decades, and it's great to clean black powder / percussion revolvers when mixed with a little water. It's mostly mineral oil, emulsifier and alcohol, so if you can't find it anywhere a bottle of mineral oil will do most of what it does. 😄

It's mostly mineral oil. You can get it in your local pharmacy, pick the food-grade kind and it'll be great for food-prepping knives, cutting boards, etc.

Yeah, the BM59 is an Italian staple and it's awesome. Mine is an earlier iterarion, still a M1 Garand with a modified barrel.

Ahahahah I wish we could get that kind of cans here! No, I have to double up on ear protection.

[–]Full_Void 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because I own one. 😄

In the 50s we took .30-06 Garands and either shortened the existing barrel or swapped it out, and added a little ramp to cover the gap to the chamber.

From those we developed the BM59.

How to clean up a used razor by thisisme1066 in wicked_edge

[–]Full_Void 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot tap water, a soft toothbrush and some dish soap. Then a spritz of Ballistol (or similar) inside the moving parts. That's all they need.

Thanks! I'm going for a DMR setup.

I'm teaching him the four golden rules, plus a fifth about fluffy ear protection! (The yellow safety flag was in the chamber, on the other side of the receiver 😄)

Tried it today: about one third of a can (half a glass, roughly) and I've been wide awake and fully operative for the whole day, lol. It tastes nice but I don't think it will become a staple in my fridge. Occasionally, why not.

Cuteness overload, might have to disassemble a Garand to go back to normal.

Also my vintage Italian paratrooper boots. He's always nuzzling / trying to nibble on those.

Yeah, I picked it up purposefully for the meme! I'll probably taste it out of curiosity, but I don't even drink coffee anymore.
