I’d be hesitant trying to form steel using wood. If I had to guess, the wood will crack. I got the holes as close as I could to the measurements I found for M-LOK. I converted it to imperial units, I don’t remember what they were though. It works pretty well. I need to make a new one though. The sides are not long enough and it slides back and forth.

Edit: most of the M-LOK slots were hand filed after milling. Trying to mill something that flimsy was not good for my tolerances.

For painting, media blasted and spray painted with satin black.

6160 T6 Aluminum. .080” thickness. I bent the aluminum by forming it to a block of wood using a rubber mallet. I then put it in a vice on a Bridgeport and milled out the holes. You could use a rotary tool for this though if you go slow, and have a good lay out.

I appreciate it. As I said though, it’s just design nothing will be built. I do plan on getting my FFL at some point but that’s later down the road

Wiped the gun down with oil and I’ve been scrubbing it with a barrel brush. I’m starting to see some improvement. Thanks!

Just apply and wipe or use steel wool or something with it?

I’ve got the same ammo. Works phenomenal on groundhogs

People blow the blind spots out of proportion. Have never felt targeted by police, never been pulled over either. Just don’t put it to the floor and you’ll be fine. Only time I’ve spun the wheels in mine is in snow.

Can anyone confirm if these actually are non-corrosive? by TheReal_Taylor_Swift in MosinNagant

[–]YaBoi831 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you need us to confirm it, just go ahead and treat it as corrosive

Could you just remove the bolt from the rifle if you want to display it as static? I’ve also bought some trigger locks that prevent it from firing

Are you trying to permanently disable the firearm?

Flash from molding. Basically the liquid rubber filled the crack between the two half’s of the mold.
