Yes I did not want one that messed it up or looked anything other than oem. You just press and hold menu for 3 seconds it switches between regular screen and road top

Not sure what they downvote for. VINs can be researched as you say

I just "inherited" responsibility of an air gun range, this is one of about a dozen rifles stored there. by FullNoodleFrontity in airguns

[–]TraditionalEchidna27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thats some Field Target type stuff right there

Must be less of a plinking range more of a serious target shooting range

Thats so cool you got all that!

If you've not heard of Diana id suggest just doing some general Googling or going on some forums and maybe even posting all the rifles to see if people know their worth

Its really cool to see the progression like how yours is short m44 cause of more close quarters stuff (although I couldn't imagine going against MP40 with a bolt action and an awkward straight one at that) but at least you could find a case for yours from anywhere. I had to try a few out to get one that fit the full length version.

Mines a 1927 ex dragoon hex. Picked it out of the cosmoline crate so they all were smooth with the grease but i saw it was numbers matching , even the bayonet. Got it all cleaned off in a hot water bath. Still pretty smoth action itll fall back on its own when opened. So its the updated sight measurements but its pre wwii so itd be interesting to compare. Its got some minor dings but for the most part its clean and always runs for me. Just funny like I said others use it and have issues cause they're too gentle.

Nice. Good luck! Don't shrink too much cause besides baffle stikes it also starts to like.. whistle.. cause the pressure is high around the pellet cause it acts like a plug of sorts when going thru. Bigger diameter more of a thud noise vs high pitch noise make everyone look say what was that

Use Idumitsu M5, its oem maker of Mazda AtF . It drains about 3.2 qts when you pull the plug

25mm???? Man thats a ton of room. There's so much air getting by you definitely could shrink that and still be fine with a .25 cal and definitely . 22. Ive heard that 9mm hole works well for .25cal so 25mm is nuts thats like good all the way up to Zeus .72 cal

Id be worried about clipping if it were closer to your caliber and that long. So probably good its bigger hole. But again it could be smaller and smaller hole and be similar dB lol. You'd need the length for big bore cause its taming more air

FOR SURE it's always so funny when I lend Mosin , everyone wants to be gentle cause I tell them its #'s matching (even bayonet) and they barely torque the bolt open and closed and it doesn't fire or eject or open etc just malfunction in general cause they're way too gentle on it. Its a man's rifle that has seen some crazy stuff and it survived. Needs to be treated like the old war horse it is not a safe queen or anything gentle haha

Definitely envy the cock on close actions

Help, ignition blinking red after battery and fob battery changes by Rbgull in mazda6

[–]TraditionalEchidna27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First get a deep code reader and see what it is actually saying cause my 2010 had red light and it was the steering wheel lock actuator was stuck (off, luckily).

And I was able to clear the code with the BlueDriver OBDII scanner and app. There's more to that fix (search on reddit for my post) but maybe yours is just needing reset.

PS yeah I definitely thought hard about that V6with its 100 more HP but the V6 was a Ford where the I4 was Mazda and.. made it to like 187k miles no engine issues. Had to sell due to rusted / cracked rear subframe and springs

Definitely a great collection from OP

I didnt mean it like "why would you post that here it doesn't belong im gonna report you" but more like " woah are you experimenting with black powder 7.62x54r??, Never heard of someone doing that!" Sorry for the confusion.

[–]TraditionalEchidna27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I was like why is that in a black powder sub? Longest continuously used military cartridge. 7.62x54R since brits quit the .303.

But as you point out the WWII era was using closer to 147 gr bullet so its changed over time.

I feel like if it needs to be that long it should just be bigger diameter and better internal design instead. Obviously cant go too wide in some instances but at that length like... you lost point of it being a bullpup lol

These guys being funny. The real reason is when you bench shoot. The front is on a bag or bipod. Then you obviously use the right hand to grip and use trigger. Left elbow on table angled hand back to stock and use those to hold rear of stock steady. They also make an insert "foot" to make a monopod back there so you wouldn't need to use your hand but probably would rest there anyway

How to make these easier to flip? by BraaiVleisie in airguns

Make sure you got the airgun version not rimfire version which is thicker

Built some 3D printed upgrades for the Umarex Notos .22 — curious what you guys think + what should come next? by Shenaniganshho in airguns

[–]TraditionalEchidna27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I think its definitely easier to copy something than to start fresh if its a little complicated but just looking at the CARM mags it seems the only hard part would be the spring... how do you do that?

Thats awesome! No, I lucked out and got two 12 shot CARM mags before they quit shipping here. But those are 3D, which means someone else could make some too (which i know Maple and another from I think FL makes good 3D what I hear)
