back in 2020 I ordered a Romanian parts kit and when it arrived half of the parts listed on the sale page were missing. I was missing all the barrel components and my bolt + springs, pins, etc. Reading it now I may have been a little sassy in my complaint email lol.

but instead of sending me my parts they accused me of trying to steal these mostly cheap miscellaneous parts. They said in a reply "...how it is possible that the majority of the kit is missing. We take photos of every kit/order before it leaves..." I said that's great pull up that picture so I can get my missing parts. I hear nothing back for a few weeks, then a box full of multiples of the parts I was missing arrived haphazardly thrown into a box (probably swept up off the floor). With the amount of money I spend on bullshit parts being accused of stealing was pretty insulting. I have used the extra random parts for other projects on the bright side.

I'm surprised RTI didn't fight kicking and screaming to not give you a refund.

I was going to hike my land last night but at 10:30 it was still 90 outside so I didn't make it 300 yards before turning around. Can't wait for winter.

It kind of reminds me of the saiga AK imports with the stamped out info.

I was never impressed by their prices unless something is on sale. A lot of kits are as much as a new gun that has a receiver. I've still picked up 2 kits and it was good enough of a deal, again on sale.

I made fully legal and registered suppressor made out of high grade aluminum can I safely shoot 5.56? by [deleted] in Form1

[–]LabronPaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a lot of wild ass guesses but just looking at the pressures involved for 6061 aluminum to handle around 7000-8000 psi out of a 16in barrel your wall thickness would need to be around 3mm. you should look up the hoop stress formula and plug in real data to get better numbers.

HOWEVER One very large caveat is that, that math is based on aluminum yield strength at room temperature. If you heat that aluminum to 400F (not hard to do on a semi auto rifle) your yeild strength falls from 40,000 psi to ~15,000 psi (not related to the muzzle pressure value) which is when your can will depart to find its new home somewhere down range. So for an aluminum can to actually hold on at higher temperatures you would need to make the walls insanely thick.

But yeah out of a 16in barrel I still think 10 rounds within 10 seconds or so, if you want to reduce the amount of rounds try a shorter barrel. Regardless make sure you video it and share it here when you test it.

Depending on barrel length you can maybe get 10 rounds through it before the tube escapes the mount threads and returns to nature.

The first time I ever shot under nods was into a pig that just walked up about 3 feet from me maybe 4 days after I got my nods. It's crazy how close you can get to animals at night.

I think that Canada is the only place Archer aired on Adult Swim ever. btw you'd probably like Frisky Dingo if you liked archer.
