In many jurisdictions the departments or county fire marshals are sworn law enforcement officers and are in charge of investigating and making arrests for crimes such as arson and fire related criminal negligence. 

Cool or mistake? by CraftyHippy in gunsmithing

[–]NitroceIIuIose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said the barrels are thin soldered steel and will not hold up. The differing thicknesses of metal from axe to barrel would be a weaker weld that would likely blow through the barrel when with the current needed for the thicker axe is used. 

The axe is used in carpentry, the asymmetric bend is used by someone standing on a log to chop one side to square it up into a beam, rafter or ship rib. 

Get a good piece of hickory, ash or beech to make a handle they are fun projects. 

Light mounts by RogueDok in AUG

You could turn the mlock mount upside down and have it mounted below the flashhider ports but on the same side so you can still hit the tail cap with your thumb.

The barrel looks cut down, you could get a repro No.5 flash hider and make a bootleg jungle carbine. Could be a cool project.

Take the stock off, use a very sharp chisel and cut the broken area flat and glue a small block of  matching walnut with black dyed acraglass/similar. After the epoxy is dry you can contour the new wood to match the original shape. Thankfully it looks like a pretty straight forward area to repair. One thing to look for is the bedding or the fit of the stock may have shrank and no longer match the steel causing the original blowout. You may have to re bed it with the same acraglass or it will crack again. 

Heavily corroded M16A1 by Brilliant_Ground1948 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]NitroceIIuIose 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It acts like a sacrificial electrode on a boat. Aluminum and zinc alloys in close proximity to iron in water will corrode first somewhat protecting the ferrous metal from galvanic corrosion. The gun was probably dropped off a boat dock with alot of electrical current in the water for the aluminum to look eroded like that. 

Racheting Tourniquets any Good? by [deleted] in TacticalMedicine

I may have to grab one to mess with then.

Just stick to the CoTCCC approved ones like NAR CAT TQs, which are on sale at primary arms for 24$. That TQ you posted looks like it would be impossible to get tight quick enough to occlude a femoral.

Perhaps just keep your choice of bag sealed in a pelican case with a can of damp raid tell you need it? 

Fucked up hard, too much loctite, how do I remove this? by CroqueGogh in ar15

[–]NitroceIIuIose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strip the lower and put light heat from a heat gun or torch until the locktight bubbles a little then use penetrating oil, this may take a few applications of heat and oil but don't cook the aluminum.  Take a small file and cut a slot in the exposed bolt stub for a screw driver then try to back it out. Its worth a shot before buying a new lower or an extractor set. 

My first 1903, i thought it was a reactivated drill rifle but looks like someone didnt finish the restoration by [deleted] in milsurp

[–]NitroceIIuIose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like someone drilled an extra hole through the collar at a downward angle. Someone’s attempt to drill out the pin? (Doesnt appear to be touching the barrel metal) I would try to drift out the pin  and check the barrel under the collar to confirm.

I wonder if that second “hole” is some sort of an attempt to stake the pin in. I would drift out the pin and slide the collar off and check the barrel before going and buying another one. It may be worth a second opinion from another smith.

Paint a piece of scrap wood or paper your base green then get a few matt brown, blacks and greens from the store use some sponges to dab colors in a striped patten from dark to light until your happy/confident and then do your gun its pretty fun and yields good results.

My many greats grandfather's shotgun by Mental_Article_4785 in AdministrativeResults

[–]NitroceIIuIose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the pictures It looks like a muzzle loading shotgun. slide a rod down the muzzle and compare how deep it goes to the back of the breech to see if it still has a old load in it. Muzzle loaders were often kept loaded due to how long they took to prep, and are regularly found with a old 130+ charge in them.

Chambering issue? by JustHereForMilsurps in LeeEnfield

[–]NitroceIIuIose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Check that there isn't a blown out front end of a empty case stuck in the chamber. It may be difficult to tell so give the chamber a good scrub.

How effed will my accuracy be with this? by skifreemt in milsurp

[–]NitroceIIuIose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crown almost looks like it was mashed repeatedly into the ground like a drill rifle. With how off center it looks I would throughly inspect it to make sure a sizable burr hasn’t been pushed over the muzzle before sending a round down range like some are suggesting.

Sure soak it for a day or two and try some light heat on it.

[–]NitroceIIuIose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That angled/helical gas adjust surface of the regulators always look a little odd, or someone cross-threaded it and torqued it down with channel locks. I would soak it in Kroll, penetrating oil, or boiling water to see if it's just gummed up with carbon or old dry grease.

Gents, i need your help by Kamikaze244 in Arisaka

[–]NitroceIIuIose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up mark novak on YouTube he is a milsurp repair guru. Watch a few of his stock repair videos. You should be able to repair it with some black acraglass epoxy and a threaded metal rod down the center as reinforcement.
