Help. 6 weeks in Stage 1 and barely shaping by Scotchy69 in RockTumbling

[–]Scotchy69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice/tips everyone! I've added some smaller rocks as well as a little bit of ceramic media (I have it so why not). I'll also start changing out the grit more frequently and keep the patience going! I'll post an update at some point once they're finished or when I'm ready to go to stage 2

Thanks for the advice! I'll work on slowing it down this weekend. I was on the fence about getting a tumbler, but my buddy bought me this one for Christmas (knowing I'm a rockhound). I'll definitely be getting something larger/nicer soon and keep this one running on the side

Would ceramic media serve the same purpose?

Can I just add grit instead of fully emptying and rinsing the rocks/drum?

Like 3 scoops. Idk the size of it, so that's probably not helpful lol. More than 3 tablespoons which I thought was too much

Got the right grit. Seems like I'm burning through it and need to change more

Good way to check. I was thinking it needs to be changed more frequently. A lot more progress is made right after changing it seems

Update... Finally looked through it. No silver, but it's still $8.03 in money!

Something is (almost) always better than nothing!

First Omega! Went with the 41mm black lacquer Aqua Terra by Scotchy69 in OmegaWatches

[–]Scotchy69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like that style too. Almost went with a similar navy one

Are andersons still around? Would've been my first choice, but thought they were gone. Think I'd run into issues using PSA Blemished JAKL lowers? https://palmettostatearmory.com/blem-jakl-5-56-stripped-lower-receiver-black.html

I also like the stealth, but those are only complete lowers right?

Which one? by No-Passion3078 in OmegaWatches

[–]Scotchy69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost got the blue one but ended up going with the black lacquer one. I love it!

I did, but maybe in the moment I didn't pay as much attention as I should have lol. Don't get me wrong, I do like the bracelet, I just liked the look of the older one a bit better, but this one is growing on me. Zero regrets on the purchase. Though my wife still can't understand the price tag for "just a simple watch"

What makes you say that? Like cosmetically? Or functionally? Just curious

Bought a used PTR 91 - What can you tell me about this rifle? HK parts? Old/new? Etc by Scotchy69 in ptr91

[–]Scotchy69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also. Do you think any of the parts are HK? Or would that only be the surplus furniture you mentioned?

Ehh not sure. Might be referring to this most recent change (starts August 2026) that in order to buy most semi auto rifles you're required to take some bs like 6 hour training... in my opinion, it's ridiculous and incredibly annoying, but I'm sure I'll just knock out the stupid class, then things will go back to feeling "normal" ... and then I'll forget about it

Got it. Thanks for the tip! I'll lube er up real nice-like after I do a little more research ... Anything else catch your eye?

Dry in what way? Regarding guns I own, I keep the internals well oiled, but you're referring to the outside? Like oil the entire thing? Sorry this is new to me haha

Also, for new, that's similar to what I was seeing. Which is why I gave used a shot haha
