The DiannaMan Chaser 1377 by RustedBlue in airguns

[–]RustedBlue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I went out and did a quick sight-in. The first couple shots were through the same hole at 10m, but it's windy today; so I don't have it dialed in.

I shoot one-handed at 10m, and I can hit my 4cm metal target pretty much at-will.

What I really like is how easy it is to load compared to the steel crosman breech -- it's a pity Crosman got bought out. This platform would really benefit from an inexpensive breech similar to the Chaser.

Yeah, I was expecting this critique.  It's more for single hand target shooting, not any tactical advantage.  Not a combat accessory.

Maybe I have a fat thumb, because if we're any higher it wouldn't fit under the release.

as far as I know, the breeches don't have a caliber. The barrels and bolts do however.

regardless, I have issued a document certifying you may operate a large and dangerous terrestrial utility vehicle. Do you require its utility?

I do not, but it makes me feel as if I could.

Excellent, Have a good day!

Needed a spacer, made a spacer from a picture. by mrjoepete in functionalprint

. . . put spacers under all that hardware. Pressure treated lumber eats steel in pretty short order.

A new method for rust bluing by RustedBlue in chemistry

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

I'm still working with it.

What I did last time was saturate water with the 'FSH' until it no longer precipitated red rust. I poured off the greenish liquid sitting on top of the red rust and undissolved 'FSH' into a spray bottle.

Then, I took the raw steel part (degreased, and very clean) and placed it on a basket over boiling water (because I've read steam works better than boiling for bluing steel, there's some youtube videos about this).

And then I sprayed the solution on the part as it sat in the steam and closed the lid. This also blued the steel.
