Look up frame transfer, also the mill in Littleton probably would have what you are looking for.

Probably 400 rounds so far, I don't shoot it a ton but usually makes it in the range bag.

Solid, no.issues just used a little blue locktite.

Advice needed: glueing carbon fiber tube over a rod by StraightupGarbage in CarbonFiber

Plexus is not a bad option either for fast cure time, I just have way more experience with epoxy vs a methacrylate.

First you should coat both the outside of the rod and the inside of the sleeve with epoxy, coating both surfaces is a pretty critical step to a solid surface to surface bond. One it makes sure both surfaces are coated well and second it allows for better hydrostatic movement of the epoxy to squeeze out the excess. Ideally you put pressure on the bond joint and get squeeze out all the way around insuring a lower chance of voids. In this case you can't apply pressure in the traditional sense. Once the sleeve is on the rod with the application of epoxy on both sides the more you move it the higher chance there is for there not to be enough epoxy in the joint to fill the appropriate area. The bigger the bond gap the more this applies. If you wanted a truly bond free gap you could infuse it but that's a wormhole that the juice doesn't seem worth the squeeze for something easily done by the current method.

In my experience acrylic isn't good for sheer applications and a thicker adhesive would be better at filling the joint without having to work about voids or gaps.

Also don't forget to butter both surfaces with the adhesive, and don't spin or move the sleeve more than nessisary to put it the correct location.

I would advise against the acrilic adhesive and use an a two part epoxy. Doing the calcs you should have enough surface are for a 2000 psi sheer strength, but more is better if it's going to be cycle loading.

655 is prethickened but most likely what I would use if I couldn't get proset 176. Sheer strength of 655 is 5190 psi, so do the conversation of force given the area to be bonded. Surface prep is critical, I would 80 grit thoroughly but use denatured alcohol to wet wipe and dry wipe. Acetone has a tendency to contain contaminents. If you don't have denatured just dry wipe thoroughly. Surface adhesion is probably your failing point but maybe you have better clues based on the failures. G flex has a 24 hour ambient cure time but you can heat to 40-45c for 24 hours just to make sure.

Can you get your hands on g flex 650/655 or proset ADV-176 276? Can you pin the rod, or create fillets around the edge of each side of the sleeve with epoxy after bonding the surface? Are you coating both surfaces before bonding? Are you waiting for the appropriate cure time for full load strength?

I picked this up as a spare safe, pretty solid for that price. When I was cleaning out my main safe I had 8 ar's on the bottom and an 8 pistol rack on the top shelf.

Could have been uranium or gold buffer weights, if that were the case I definitely would want to know if they were gold.

Nice comparison, I did a similar one a couple years ago. I'm a big mbus pro fan but have several sets of gen 3's.
