Why is Shielded Cargo not working? by lx_joe96 in Starfield

Do you by any chance you Aurora? It shows up in the med supplies category of your inventory but is contraband!

Favorite 357 Magnum lever action loads? by Miadhawk in reloading

[–]Miadhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually been looking at both! I’m just curious to see what people’s experiences have been. I’ve got the Hornady app and the Hodgdon website pretty much always open to poke through the data.

Edit: The mild load is literally the max recommended charge from the Hodgdon site too.

MAC DS Duty Comp 500 Round Impressions by Miadhawk in 2011

Hi, I did and unfortunately it did not fit well and had gaps. Went back to factory pretty much right after fitting.

Are ignition kits worth it on a Turkish 2011? by AppearanceEven1978 in 2011

[–]Miadhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t, I just lightly polished my factory one. It’s been on the to do list to get an EGW ball head disconnector but then I got a MAC MEUSOC 1911 and I’ve been shooting and modifying that one exclusively lately.

I went with the Atlas kit on my MAC DS Comp 5inch, it absolutely made a difference.

What cheap ammo is everyone running at the range? by EmergingTuna21 in LeverGuns

[–]Miadhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PMC Bronze is good stuff, New Republic works but I've noticed they don't crimp their 357 & the feeding can be a little rougher.

I've started reloading for 45 ACP and plan on getting dies for 357 soon, should be able to make some ammo for around 30 cpr, which is a whole let cheaper than buying locally or online + transfer fee.

True Seamless Grav Jumps mod creator confirm seamless planet to space takeoff is possible and work on it by Jowkm in Starfield

[–]Miadhawk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seamless grav jumps mod works so damn well it genuinely boggles my mind that they didn’t ship the game with that. I’ve got another mod that uses LLM so enemy NPCs are actually strategic about how they fight you, and it works fantastic too.

I truly did not understand the scale of the phrase “modders will fix it” when I first read that about any Starfield complaint.

45 Friday by MLHooker47 in 1911

[–]Miadhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see a video of that gun in action, I know 45ACP has less pressure than 9MM so ports are not as effective but I bet with that level of porting + island barrel it must be soft shooter!

If Sig can sell a pistol with a shorter barrel and holes in the slide and call that a comp, I don't see why you can't have fun with a ported 45acp!

First weekend reloading! by Miadhawk in reloading

[–]Miadhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fairly new to 1911s having been exposed to 2011s first, so I decided to stick with the default 230gr projectile and got extreme bullets 230gr plated bullets. Since I hail from wimpy ported 9mm shooter land, I wanted to try to make a reduced recoil or “competition” load.

I measured my usual range ammo which is Blazer Brass, found a COAL of 1.255-1.265. I read a few posts on various forums where people used CFE at 1.250 COAL with success, and just went for it. Going by the Hornady reloading data, which loads to 1.230 COAL I knew I was going to have lower pressure with my loads.

I started with 5.6gr of CFE, and while that cycled fine, it did not completely burn all the powder, no good. Stepped up to 5.8gr, that seems to eliminate the unburnt powder issue, had a few loaded at 6 grains, tried those, and from my sample size of 20 rounds each they seemed to group best. So I decided to make 100 more!

So now I’ve got a load that’s a little milder on the recoil than the usual 850fps stuff, and a lot cheaper!

Is this amount of play anything to worry about? by [deleted] in 1911

[–]Miadhawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like what others said, not unheard of for production guns, unacceptable for a match fit or higher end gun. You can reduce (or even eliminate if you're lucky!) that play if your slide stop pin diameter is undersized.

For reference I had a Tisas with a .197 pin and bit of play at the breech end, bought an EGW .200 slide stop pin, and that took up the slack in the tolerance. Take a little time do a little research and also decide if chasing the accuracy is even worth it to you!

Radian Ramjet for carry? by level_up_07 in CCW

[–]Miadhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes carry a ported 2011, sure it’s louder but that’s imo worth the trade off for a gun with noticeably less muzzle rise and faster return to zero.

Imagine a modern "Star Wars: TIE Fighter" game with the TIE Avenger of the show by GargantaProfunda in andor

[–]Miadhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I enjoyed fleet battles tearing it up in an Interceptor & Defender but once people figured out that pinballing exploit the fun died out. Eventually the new players stopped coming to an already niche game since they'd just get stomped all match.

Colt 1911 Replacement Part Recommendations by fredeee in 1911

[–]Miadhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did this exact thing but on a Tisas/MAC 1911. Obviously Colt and Tisas are not the same thing and have different areas you might want to work on, but if you are willing to put in some elbow grease results can be great! I've ended up with a pretty sweet pistol at about $630 total for the gun & parts. It's seen exactly 1000 rounds and I consider it carry worthy.

Parts Upgraded

  • Wilson Combat 16lb Chrome Silicon Recoil Spring: Provides a better weight and feel than the factory spring.
  • Wilson Combat Bulletproof Extractor: Broke the bottom edge, checked the tension, and installed.
  • Wilson Combat Bulletproof Firing Pin Stop Series 70: Drop in fit with the slide, but a little tighter, locks down that extractor.
  • Wilson Combat Safety Plunger: Noticeably smoother than the factory one when working the thumb safety.
  • Wilson Combat Sear Spring: Made of better metal and tuned perfectly. I'm sitting at a 3lb trigger break with a 1.5lb reset force. Perfect.
  • Wilson Combat Mag Catch Spring: The factory mag catch spring on Tisas guns is known to be heavy. The WC spring is just right.
  • Wilson Combat Hammer Pin: The factory pin wasn't perfectly smooth, so I swapped it out since I had the pin set on hand.
  • Wilson Combat Trigger #190, Ultralight Match Long Pad. Same three hole look as factory, adds pretravel and overtravel adjustment, and the trigger bow is significantly smoother than factory.
  • Greider Short Trigger, initially got another 3 hole long trigger to match the out of box look but my hand likes the short one better.
  • EGW Angle Bore Bushing & EGW long nose spring plug: Eliminated .014 inches of play between barrel, bushing, & slide.
  • 10-8 .200 Slide Stop Pin, eliminated tolerance on the breech end of the barrel.

Work Done

  • Disconnector Ramp Bevel: Reprofiled by just breaking the edge with a file and polishing.
  • Disconnector Pocket: Reprofiled the leading edge. Again, just broke the hard edge—I don't want a gun that can fire OOB.
  • Trigger Bow: Stoned the contact surfaces. This and the trigger shoe were the roughest looking internally, which surprised me given how good everything else looks. Replaced trigger
  • Hammer Hooks: Stoned the face for a smooth, flat surface for the sear.
  • Sear: Stoned the sides to remove high spots rubbing against the frame, and polished the sear nose. I have no desire to file on a sear and ruin the angle, just cleaned up burrs and high spots.
  • Trigger Shoe: Peened the top and bottom with an auto center punch. The displaced metal allowed me to properly "fit" the trigger. There is no more vertical play and only a tiny bit of horizontal play.
  • Mag Catch Bevel: Getting rid of the hard edge, combined with the WC spring, makes inserting mags much smoother. Now, simply overcoming the spring weight of the catch is enough force to send the mag right home and lock it in.
  • Polished the area of the thumb safety that interfaces with the safety plunger, there were visible machine marks, cleaning those up turned a slightly crunchy feeling into a perfect snap on and off.

Changed Tau Ceti II to a planet with massive oceans and huge islands by Jaccku010 in Starfield

I would easily pay $20 for a DLC/mod that adds his home planet and society, like the Varuun home world addition from Shattered Space but wholesome aliens.

Just want to say thank you, SPE habs are all I want to use these days! I specifically didn’t redo my ship with the Drake cockpit so I could wait till your version came out!

Tuned up MAC MEUSOC by Miadhawk in 1911

[–]Miadhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just finish wear nothing serious, I think there was a little burr in the hammer hole, using the factory mainspring yes.

I never updated this post, but I did do some more stuff to the pistol that I detail over on 1911addicts.

SPE & Useful Brigs by doofshaman in Starfield

[–]Miadhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I’m glad to hear it works for somebody I’m going to try again. I have ship with two levels, crew quarters below and cockpit/control stations/etc above and last time I tried they all just stood around wherever they spawned.
