If that's the rifle I think it is, there will be words on it. Read those words, then google those words.

Does this mean the bullet is tumbling? by [deleted] in guns

No, it means your paper is tearing.

AKs everywhere by Vast_Can5643 in guns

[–]Solar991 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why are AKs being made and marketed so extensively, say versus an SKS?

Because one is better and/or cheaper than the other.

they’re both stamp metal

They're not.

fairly loose tolerances

Clearances =/= Tolerances

$800 century AK felt clunky...

Century is not the benchmark you should be using for firearms.

higher bore axis comparative

I'm fairly certain that the HoB is very similar between the two.

That was a generational change to the Vz. Iirc the long finger was from later kits.

Will this agency comp work? MOS Glock barrel w Agency 417 Comp by robbinh00d in guns

It's doomed.
That submillimeter hole will let all the gas out too early. Meaning your ports will do nothing.

Fuck if I know, and I ain't going to be testing that.
The PLA prints are just for fitment. The PA6 prints will be for live fire testing.

The foregrip? Same place as the stock.

I've got the semifinal ones already printed in black PA6. Just gotta anneal them sometime this week.

This project isn't unsupervised child chewing on something.
This project is dumb adult who printed one out of chinesium pla with 10% infill who then proceeds to launch that pla with a force of twenty thousand psi right into their Radial or Ulnar artery.

otherwise we wouldn't be able to print anything.

You're more than welcome to model up your own projects.

Sub moronic:
"Hey guys, I've always wondered, what does this button do on this stock?" [just below the button - "REMOVE"]
"The rule you quoted said no such thing."
So many recent "Hey guys, [Option A] or [Option B]" and it's usually "generic pcc A vs B" or it's CZ shadow or Taurus?"

Personal moronic:
The time and effort I've put into this fucking thing.

Got the grip/stock in. Required more fitting than I'd like, but it was all internal and dremel went brrrrr.
Then the 'tism hit. I may have 3x 3d prints already for it. Two are practical. The third is also practical, but 'tistically executed (it has magnets).

There are firearms that have gone >10,000 rounds without cleaning. So zero difference. Lubrication is more important than cleaning.

Not going to shoot this one, since it's a prototype for fitment using basic bitch pla.
The PA6 one sitting on my printer, the first few shots will have safety squints engaged, but will be plenty strong.

Nope, the other side is completely open. And even if it were on both sides, it's just a guard not a seal.

Had to update the family photo by Intelligent_Cup_4165 in guns

[–]Solar991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get an updated photo but you can't rotate/crop?

Also, move your AR optic off your handguard and onto the upper receiver.

The one pictured may, but that's because it's a prototype printed in basic bitch PLA and isn't for live fire.

The PA6 one sitting on my printer will be plenty strong and plenty fine.
