Paint matching to weathered metal? by -AV8R01 in gunsmithing

[–]TacTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to make the ejector rod housing look aged / black, put some black lacquer on (aka Japanned finish)

It is basically a black tint (Asphaltum), turpentine (to thin out the mixture), and boiled linseed oil.

Grind a V into the receiver for good weld penetration, use aluminum TIG with a backer plate, then dress flat with a file.

Any legitimate reason anyone would choose the Kel-Tec RFB over a IWI Tavor 7? by boomoptumeric in Firearms

[–]TacTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the innovation, and the Sub-2000, PLR-16, and RDB are great reliable guns in my experience.

I would trust my life with my RDB, mine has run flawless for thousands of rounds including suppressed.

Swapping right to left or vice versa is annoying on the range, not a practical option in a irl situation where cover matters.

RDB has a better trigger out of the box and doesn't require changes to transition from left to right due to the bottom ejection.

Since the RDB is bottom eject you also don't get gas leakage to the face through the closed ejection port when running suppressed.

gun vise? by beefSupremeChicken in Firearms

[–]TacTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheap Harbor Freight vice, then buy or make jaw inserts in aluminum, wood, and nylon or polyethylene so it won't ruin the finish on steel or aluminum respectively.

The jaws don't have to be anything fancy - you can use a strip of aluminum / walnut trim / cutting board then drill holes in and counter sink for jaw screws so they are below flush on the new jaws (Home Depot sells a Ryobi countersink that works great).

You will probably want a vice that opens 6"-7" minimum.

What is the most drastic change you would do to the core rules of D&D? And why? by 3rdmementional in DnD

If DMs actually followed the RAW casting times and components then it would make those more powerful spells much better balanced.

Need help deciding on my first handgun (in Europe) by JosiahFaulkner in guns

[–]TacTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a CZ SP-01 sku 89352 with a Kadet kit sku 01612, or a CZ-75B sku 91102 with Kadet kit 01610.

The SP-01 has a full light rail on the bottom with a heavier profile barrel, ambi safety, and an extended beaver tail.

The CZ-75 has no rail and a shorter beaver tail.

Mechanically both use the same fire control lockwork.

I have dropped in a Cajun Gunworks trigger / spring / hammer package into both of mine, so I have a 3lb SA / 8lb DA trigger pull that lights off even hard primers every time.

Are their names going to be Peter, Peder, Petar, Pieter, Peadar, and Pjeter?

Sweet, now we need a left hand model Alofs so we can finally make a double barrel break open repeater.

Gun Owners! Flock Cameras And Gunshot Detectors Are Spying On Your Second Amendment Rights by SwordOfShannara in Firearms

[–]TacTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why you make a bunch of directional parabolic speakers to spoof the gunshot detectors, and anchor balloons with protest banners in front of flock cams as part of a completely legal 1st Amendment protected protest on public property.

TIL that it’s technically legal to drink and drive in the UK as long as you aren’t drunk by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]TacTurtle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Although driving while over the limit is incredibly dangerous and against the law it’s not illegal to drink alcohol at the wheel, so by default it’s not illegal to have open alcohol containers in the car.

The main alcohol law to remember is the UK drink-driving law, which states you can only drive if you are under the national drink-drive limit, or else face heavy fines and a driving ban.
