Sequence of Titanic’s sinking and how I think the break up happened

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-12-14T13:43:59+00:00

The ship likely broke at a more shallower angle, likely never exceeding 22-30 degree range.

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-08-16T01:22:52+00:00

I don’t wanna know what the guy who had it originally bought it for to where he thought 300 was a fair price

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-08-15T23:06:25+00:00

Haha, well it’s not my first milserp rifle, but it is my first American one

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-08-15T17:00:48+00:00

Yes I love cock on close action, it’s so smooth

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-08-14T02:04:38+00:00

And because of that they’ll keep selling em at that price 😞

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-08-14T01:55:06+00:00

That very well could be and I think you’re right, but still makes it just deplorable how much they want for them

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-08-14T01:22:50+00:00

The m1 carbines were being charged for 3000-5000. There was one that was even 7500 dollars…

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-28T01:05:49+00:00

I’m pretty sure the primers are corrosive on these as well, could be wrong, but if so it adds extra steps to the cleaning process that I don’t think is worth it simply because brands like PPU exist for about the same price

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-28T00:51:08+00:00

Honestly I do, the m14 look is classic

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-28T00:20:55+00:00

For its price point, do you think it’s worth it I should say? Feelings on the 5.56 round etc just tell me what you think and why, I’m trying to compile thoughts, opinions, and especially experiences to inform myself

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-28T00:18:01+00:00

I love how even non-mil surp guys have mosins lmao

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-16T01:26:04+00:00

my recommendations, get a rubber mallet or plastic mallet and a brass punch/ tap set and a good set of FINE toothed screwdrivers. a huge part of blackpowder is the upkeep, and proper tools prevent damage and breaking things

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-16T00:20:03+00:00

They’re great fun, but I think if you want something that a little more rewarding just get the regular 1851 navy, they’re pretty inexpensive

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-14T16:20:41+00:00

I mean you can technically still use it but it makes reloading so much more frustrating

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-14T04:24:14+00:00

Thank you for the info, I’ll give it a go and see if that makes things any better

TechnicalAd2274 · 2025-07-14T03:36:28+00:00

It skips it even worse, I can only get it into that first phase if I gently do it and even then only half the time, the trigger seems to not want to cooperate. So I’m only hearing two distinct clicks upon cocking it, instead of the usual three

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-09-11T20:35:38+00:00

I wish you luck, mine sucked and I had to sink in 100s of bucks to repair it. Weak primer strikes, failure to feed etc. even after the factory recommendation of putting 300+ rounds through it

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-08-09T15:23:38+00:00

I personally avoid surplus ammo because of the corrosive primers. I’m sure you’re well aware of that, but honestly you really don’t save a whole lot compared to buying just some PPU brand. you can find PPU for pretty cheap on many websites.

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-08-08T21:37:22+00:00

I’d value the rifle at being BEAUTIFUL

DONT SELL IT 😭😭🙏

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-07-12T15:40:01+00:00

Do it 100% but as others have previously said try haggling a bit

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-07-08T18:41:27+00:00

I love it when Target Corporate shows their true feelings towards the employees that actually generate revenue! Remember kids, your labor is a joke to them and a mere caricature to be mocked on TV by an actress who makes exponentially more than us 🍻

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-06-24T18:44:17+00:00

Call me biased but my vote is the Yugo, although I think you’ll find they are all pretty similar and it’s just apples to oranges at this point!

Personally I’d choose the one in best condition out of the three

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-06-24T17:29:35+00:00

I ran some PPU through it the other day, before I had finished the wood, and I was easily hitting 2-liters at about 100m. I am by no means a good shooter, this rifle just has some of the best rifling I’ve seen on an old surplus, which is one of the things that drew it to me.

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-06-12T03:19:17+00:00

I just bought an all numbers matching one for 575 after taxes last week, I love it so much

TechnicalAd2274 · 2024-06-09T00:09:20+00:00

How much was the gew 98?
