It would be cheaper for you to simply build a bank of IR LEDS to act as the light. Additionally, surefire sells IR filters to only allow IR light out of their lights. You may be able to find said filter cheaper somewhere else. Add in a cheap camera which can see IR light and you are good to go.

/st/ is great as a board due to information, just because it's slow doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Hey PJ, weren't you the one with the Nagant revolver thread? I felt bad that no one could help.

Btw, how the shit does the headspace work on that gas seal cylinder?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Single_Action_Army#The_Bisley_model

Wiki describes the differences. Changing to a wider hammer spur and a wide trigger would be drop in parts. Machining the barrel and topstrap for the different sights is getting to be more work than its worth. There would be no easy way to lengthen the grip because the frame extends to the bottom of the grip. You could hypothetically get longer grips that cover the gap left by the frame.

At the end of the day, you'd be better off just getting a Bisley model if you really want one.

There.

I'm not an expert by any means. All it takes is a little mechanical sense, something everybody really ought to have.

Check for any unnatural wear. Email Troy and ask if they've heard any reports of this before with their product, it might be something they can diagnose immediately.

flash hider?

Classy

Figured I'd share what my class vest has evolved into.

From left to right, water bottle/shotting gloves/misc. crap pouch, blowout pouch, of course the main rifle mag pouches, pistol mag pouches, and a small pouch for oil.

Be sure to practice with your rig before the class. Nothing like wasting your time fuckin' with your gear when you should be hydrating, urinating, and jamming mags because you were too lazy or too 'busy' to give your rig at least a dry run.

I'm lucky I only has to move one pouch around. I saw guys almost completely disassembling their rigs to get them to run more smoothly.

>Now, let's talk clothing. I know it sounds silly, but, well, just bear with me. DO NOT WEAR SHORTS. Say this out loud with me. DO-NOT-WEAR-SHORTS. Jeans are even kind of taboo. They better be loose fitting and dirty. Cargo pants are the way to go. Pockets for misc. shit, they aren't shorts, and well, they're basically the uniform pant of the shooter. Top: first layer: underarmour or some sort of moisture wicking layer. Then, depending on how much you're going to be moving, either a t-shirt or two, or a polo. Long sleeves help but are not required. Knee and elbow pads, however, are required. Same for gloves or athletic tape. I sometimes wear a ball cap. Also, if you wear a ball cap and somebody gives you shit for wearing it backwards, just simply out shoot them. Problem solved. Boots/shoes should be light and comfortable.

Lol @ your description of our typical dress.

>three point will get you tangled
3 points require more training to use properly, I know exactly what you're talking about too and it's fucking hilarious to watch whenever someone new to a 3 point tries to do that offhanded transfer without directing his weapon properly or having it adjusted properly.
>You are there to learn. You are not there to show off. You must understand that these types of classes attract Alpha Males. Everybody there is going to try to show why they are the best. I hate these guys.
<3
+2 because they show up at the range and irk me.

>Make a friendly jab about their old eyesight. This is male bonding, it helps in class.
and a good way to make them feel incompetent and question themselves every 3 seconds.

The most BOSS way to ruin someone's shit for talking bad about you.

Glad I could help. Thanks for reading. Petition serv for a /rev/ (review) board. That's the best way of thanking me. The best way to go about this is either:
A.) find every thread serv posts in and say "GODDAMNIT SERV GIVE BUSHWACKER A REVIEW BOARD"
or
B.) After every post you make (no matter what board it's in), sign it with "GODDAMNIT SERV, GIVE BUSHWACKER A REVIEW BOARD".
Thanks for reading (again). Hope it helps.

lawl.

Stripped my first .22 bolt action rifle when I was about 10. I grew up taking apart my parent's clocks and other little things like that. First thing I do whenever I get a new firearm, is completely detail strip it and re-assemble it a few times to familiarize myself with it.

when I got my AR15, I was flippin through the manual to take it down, and wanted to remove the upper from the lower. Not a big deal.
What the manual neglected to mention, and I didn't notice, however, was that the recivers must be against each other in order to push the forward retaining pin out. if it's hinged up, she won't go.
I was using a .223 cartridge (LOL the manual said it worked), and after pushing it hard enough, the bullet shoved back into the cartridge, the cartridge neck cut into my finger, and the powder went around the bullet, and got EVERYWHERE.
Then I noticed it had to be closed in order to remove that pin. I raeged.

Also when I was young I was messing with the Win 1200 in the gun cabinet (which I shouldn't have been in), and I pulled the slide forward, putting the shotgun into battery. I didn't know about the slide release at the time, and was like "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE" for about an hour. Eventually I figured it out (on accident), and put it back.

Oh, and the first time I was cleaning the bolt action .22 with my dad, he said that the bolt releases from the action by pulling the trigger. with the bolt back, I pulled the trigger... and did not expect it to slide out completely on its own. landed on my shoeless foot, shit sucked, yo.

The garage has been hot like an oven in the summer I've been slacking off on finishing it up. The stock is finished I just need to do the metal parts. I told my wife, he is not in a hurry, it is his fun gun he is happy with his AR so no hurry on finishing the SKS up.

Ahhh you lucky bastard.

How many doors did the class go through?

>Equiptment:

Well then why didn't you post th-
>Unfortunately the 60year old bull dike female RSO took ALL of our phones/cameras and made us sign specific non-disclosure forms
Bleh. That's shit.

If you were to rate it on a scale from Beginner to OPERATOR, about where would the overall class fall?

>There was little discussion between students.
Did you not have much time during breaks or were the students just not talkative? That's real weird to me, most shooters in general are usually pretty talkative about their guns, gear and everything else.

>>4438
We each shot through 3 doors. Well, at least I did. Some of the LEOs that did it for a living only did 2, so the less experienced students could get more practice. The doors we kicked/rammed down, we just closed the door and used it multiple times until it was broke-broke.
>>4439
I was really upset about the camera. I just found my digital camera buried in a box. I've been trying to take it everywhere. We couldn't even get a class photo. I decided to not push the camera at dinner. I still think it was the PD policy and not the guys there.

>If you were to rate it on a scale from Beginner to OPERATOR, about where would the overall class fall?
Students- Well, everybody had their shit screwed on straight, but we all made mistakes sooner or later. The other thing is that a shotgun course (while still demanding) wasn't as bad as, say, a carbine class. Accuracy was stressed, but at some point you're just blurring the line between miss/hit with the bird shot. Rifles/pistols make definitive holes.
Class- Well, it was definitely not a beginning shotgun class, there was restricted entry to the class, and we were expected to perform. I wouldn't say it was the most OPERATOR course I've ever been too. Maybe upper 75% as far as "hit the ground running" after we were told to do something.
>Did you not have much time during breaks or were the students just not talkative? That's real weird to me, most shooters in general are usually pretty talkative about their guns, gear and everything else.
We were constantly moving between indoors and outdoors (shoot house / classroom right next to the outdoor range). So breaks were then. They were mainly 5 minutes. Guys were too busy getting stuff ready for the next thing. Again, I was in cargo pants and a polo. Some of the High Risk LEOs were in full on gear with armor.

I mean, it's not like everybo

Alright, I got out to the range again yesterday. The Micro Dot didn't have the issues with parallax that I expected, which was fairly surprising to me.

Parallax in an optic without magnification? Sounds like a shooter fit/mount issue.

>>4431
>>4431
Even red dot and holographic sights suffer slightly from parallax at very short distances when the dot is not centered in the objective. Though slight, you can get a small difference between POA/POI at those short distances.

I would have expected it to be exacerbated on a cheap dot with a canted front lens, like it is on many other low quality red dots, but it was not.

>>2187
Just to add that the Walther PP and PPK were far more popular in 7.65mm than 9mm Kurz at the time of Ian Fleming's first book.

Here's a photo of the PPK used in License to Kill.

>>4422

Not many were in 380 back then, as the firearm was designed for 32acp

>>4425
That's the point I was trying to impress. It's the same story with a number of other pocket pistols such as the Mauser HSc. When the HSc was in pre-production it was tried in a number of calibers but 7.65mm proved the most popular so the entire production run until 1945 was chambered in it.

When Mauser reintroduced it in the late 1960's the intended market was the US so 70% of the production was .380 while the remaining 30% was .32. This is the reason the vast majority of the Interarms/Ranger/Walther LLC/S&W PPK's you find are in .380 - it sells better in the US.

Two HSc's - the top in 7.65mm, the bottom in 9mm Kurz. I just recently sold the .380 as the .32 is much more fun to shoot.

RRA brand new lower.

It's not budging at all.
No movement whatsoever.

>>4415
I don't have the proper wrench for it but am gonna try to pick one up later this week when I procure funds.

>>4417
Red loctite can take some serious heat before softening up. And since buffer tubes use thin ALU and have such fine threads, it's most likely not going to make it out intact after getting that hot.

Thin ALU just isn't well suited for high-heat. You can hit it with a buffing wheel for several seconds and shape it if you want. Red loctite should really only ever be used for steel on steel contact unless you're using it in place of soldering/welding.

>>4418
RRA doesn't even stake their castle nuts IIRC so it's a tool problem. Get a proper wrench and it should be smooth sailing.

Thanks a ton guys.

I didn't want to start a new thread in /k/ so forgive me while I hijack your thread.

What are all these parts for? I know what the rods and brushes are for, but what do those brass thingies do? And why are there two handles? What do the pipe cleaner come handy for? When would you use a brass/steel/nylon brush? What are the mop lookin' things for? Halp me I r not gud with guns.

Also, I've read several different manuals and guides detailing how to completely clean your AR, however is it really necessary to disassemble the bolt every time I go to the range? That's kinda of a big bummer. I'm not a carbine course kind of guy. I'll probably shoot 90 rounds every two weeks MAX.

Also besides everything in this picture and Hoppes 9 solvent and lube, do I need anything else for routine AR maintenance?

>>4384
At 180 rounds a month max, no, you do not need to disassemble the bolt after each range session. Clean it every 500-1000 rounds at that rate or two to four times a year.

OP watch the AGI video on firearm cleaning.

Tis a good video.
