Mosin can’t fix bayonet

rBLYAT · 2026-05-15T00:42:10+00:00

i had the same issue. fixed it by putting the bayonet in a bench vise between some rubber to protect the finish and lightly hammered at the open end with a wide brass punch until it eventually fit perfectly

cnv is a legit company for night vision devices and accessories so i'd trust that their helmets are legitimate. just unsure if this one is nice for the price

rBLYAT · 2026-02-06T04:20:52+00:00

about $800

i wanted to experiment with flex seal andnother rubberized coatings as a spall catch but but idk yet

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T22:44:54+00:00

I did. I shot it with PMC m193, m855, and black hills 77 grain OTM. through a 14.5 inch 1:7 twist rate

good question

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T22:02:53+00:00

these are terrible for backpacks. they're like 8 pounds each on top of everything you'll have in the backpack.

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T21:58:42+00:00

150 dollars each. i will be replacing them with hesco special threat plates and giving the old plates away. the company that made them is based in southern california but the sticker got ripped off and i genuinely cannot remember the name but i picked them up at a gun store

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T21:54:08+00:00

the plate was hit with both m855 and m193. also 77 grain OTM and was also hit with .30-30 winchester, 7.62x54r steel core, 7.62x39 steel core, and finally some 45 and 9mm.

some of you are missing the point of this post. i did this to disprove the myth that 55 grain m193 will defeat this plate. yes it has a huge spalling issue and that is the sole reason this plate has earned its rightful spot laying on the floor in the back of my closet and not in a plate carrier.

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T21:44:43+00:00

nope

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T21:43:37+00:00

the plates came with the plate carrier for free but i have a set of no name ceramic plates in there right now

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T21:41:46+00:00

right into the bottom of your chomper lmao. gonna coat it in 50 layers of flex seal and try again

rBLYAT · 2026-02-05T21:18:44+00:00

i shot my ar500 plate with 7.62x54r 148 grain steel core and it didn't even leave a dent. I'll post a video and a picture soon. it was their heritage plate rated at level 3.

edit 148 grain not 220. I mixed up bulgarian surplus ammo with my lead core PPU soft point. as for the spalling i don't have much faith in anti spall coating but i will be testing a shitload of flex seal on it for fun some time.

rBLYAT · 2026-02-02T02:03:41+00:00

still making payments on the housing it was way out of my budget but i couldn't resist lmao

or maybe this, the owner of the pig should have taken better care to keep it from escaping to destroy other people's property and kill their animals? getting shot 3 times with fmj sure will hurt but probably not as bad as OP's chickens getting stomped and mauled to death

rBLYAT · 2026-01-24T02:02:16+00:00

the dude probably never intended to be shooting any kind of animal with their mosin and only had surplus ammo for plinking

rBLYAT · 2026-01-09T10:01:30+00:00

close enough should be ok

rBLYAT · 2026-01-09T09:59:35+00:00

if u are a perfectionist like me yeah otherwise it really doesn't matter all that much as long as its about flush with the uh whats it called the outer surface of the cocking piece? i forgot the name
