Calguns... isn't that an oxymoron?

How goes the welding?

 

Oh yeah, that forum had a handful of great contributors while a bunch of others were acting like damn law enforcement and translating their own version of the law.

Used to love that forum.

Next week, I start brazing! They want to put an extra focus on it because I mentioned my interest in TIG.

Got any suggestions/tips for brazing? Everyone's telling me I'll pick it up easily after seeing my oxyfuel cutting

 

You won't have any trouble brazing. You can actually braze with Tig once you know how and then you don't need the gas torch all that often anymore. But yeah they're pretty similar when attaching two metals at a joint. But with brazing you can also build up material and because it's often a bronze or a brass filler you can use it to create wear surfaces and such too or joints that actually need to fill into a surface you can't reach kind of like soldering.

 

How's it working with copper wire?

They'll have me braze without a filler metal, then later with.

One of the guys said he loved using copper because it just puddles nicely and if you build it up too much, just melt and push it easily.

Supposed to make a dice, we'll see how that comes out. Nice thing is we keep everything we make, even just misc items during class. I cut out a bunch of shapes for someone for his kids

Cut a heart, star (that one was a little difficult), horseshoe and other shapes with the torch.

It was for 499.99. They have one left as of now.

Overkill for 6.5 grendel or NAH

 

Way overkill from 6.5 grendel being that it's FFP.

You can get away with SFP to 1k yards, and grendel ain't getting that far.....accurately.

I'd opt for a used Razor in that price range that way you have clearer glass as well as a scope you can swap onto other rifles.

 

I keep getting these hiring ads on FB for the New Zealand police department, the algorithm is smoking crack

 

Maybe you can WFH

 

I knew the Ford was due for front brakes soon but owie

$500-7xx in parts

 

imma just re-iterate this here...

 

yup yup

 

Weather today in az...





Fuckin mint

 

Lemme know what you decide, I can see what I can get it for

 

When I was messing with it I REALLY wanted it right then and there. I frequent their shop a lot and on a first name basis so I get a employee discount through one guy too.

How much could you get it for?

 

Well fucking pooey.

What about diamondback? Wasn’t @JKO1998 saying those are decent scopes? They had a shit ton there.

 

Naw, the PST line-up is where you'd want to start as they have better glass than their lower lines.

 

Go look at Maven scopes, vortex will get you by, but meh

 

OOOOO. I like they way those are priced. Which one are you using if any?

 

I’m not, I’ve only looked through they’re binos and spotters.

seemed quality

also, I can’t get the venom line

 

Hell yeah. That’s good. And piss, well thanks for trying.
