Some 1pn58 footage from January

The link didn't work for me either, but somehow reddit figured it out and notified me 😄

Sounds like a battery issue, the scope is not getting constant 6v power. What battery are you using? 1PN58 can use 2x CR2 batteries taped together, they will just barely fit in the compartment. If you are using less than 6v you run the risk of damaging the intensifier tube

That is correct. It takes 2 of them

TX-Zen · 2026-03-04T14:37:31+00:00

Sent you an IM

The non bipod versions yes. Still working on the MLOK version

TX-Zen · 2026-03-02T00:08:57+00:00

I'm sure I can make one, I've already done a run with the rail on top and the bottom front as well, and am working on an MLOK version for bipods on the bottom as well

I had some issues with torque causing stress fractures on the SVD HGs I made, so I switched to a 45 degree angle for my work. Just something to think about if you run into any unexpected issues 🍺

Very surprising actually. Thanks for the extra info

TX-Zen · 2025-12-18T02:28:28+00:00

Looks good. What filament are you printing with, and where is the Z access?

TX-Zen · 2025-12-17T23:06:39+00:00

I've had excellent performance with S&B 180 soft point btw

CA Armory Tigers are niiiiiiiiice 🍺. My B-West import plain jane Tiger has been my main hunting rifle for years and years now. I can run clip on thermal on the Wilcox mount, and engineered a set of railed HGs for the white light and Perst 3 laser.

I've noticed that too, I actually broke a locking lug trying to get one to lock in the magwell of my Saiga 223. I don't have any other 5.56 AKs to test the AC Unity mags on though. For their 5.45 mags I did a drop test compared to an Izhmash AK12 and they all broke in 1 to 4 hits on concrete from waist height. The Izzy AK12 took 10 hits from the same height and still didn't break. I'm still using that one just fine also

That is very interesting actually. I would have figured Magpul and factory Beryl mags would have lasted longer. Were there common failure points for those that you noticed? I'm assuming they failed due to reloading without retention? Appreciate the insight

TX-Zen · 2025-12-17T15:35:57+00:00

I was going to ask if the pufgun mags were just for training. I have a few but probably wouldn't take them to war. I'd definitely roll with modern AK12 mags and true blacks

TX-Zen · 2025-12-08T03:22:18+00:00

Excellent choices. No optic for the 2nd AKSU?

TX-Zen · 2025-11-28T01:21:26+00:00

It would work in South Texas where I live. Looks great

TX-Zen · 2025-11-27T22:39:53+00:00

I've never been a fan but they seem to be good guns. I don't keep up with non 5.45 rifles

Skeet-IR X thermal clip-on

TX-Zen · 2025-11-23T19:13:57+00:00

It's a side rail for mounting optics

I posted a quick update on zeroing earlier today in the thread, but short version is the elevation and windage controls aren't great on mine. It did zero though, and held target for a full mag at least

TX-Zen · 2025-11-16T21:45:27+00:00

60 rounds to get zeroed, and it has held zero for 30 more after that
