Firearm BS thread

He does have a video for "fixing" the bullet holes lol. Which really is just welding in a new patch lol

 

Funny thing I watched this video yesterday too.

 

Saw this one a few days ago at my office

 

I like it

 

Having done body work most of my life I never thought I’d see rust as an improvement

 

Harley guys do.

 

It’s probably a wrap

 

It was an awesome wrap

 

We have one of those “trucks” around here I see it often. It may be a fantastic vehicle but it’s just not for me

 

Not for me either

 

Anyone familiar with how to date a Marlin 1895 by the serial number. The number starts with an 05 which I think means it was manufactured in 95? Thanks

 

Here is information that I have used a few times before. Not sure if this is what you’re looking for or not.
Marlin Year of Manufacture

Marlin year of manufacture maybe determined from the following list of letter/numeral prefixs to the serial number; this coding only applies to serialized rifles:

1946-C
1947-D
1948-E
1949-F
1950-G
1951-H
1952-J
1953-K
1954-L
1955-M
1956-N
1957-P
1958-R
1959-S
1960 (August)-1961-U
1961 (August)-1962-V
1963-W
1964-Y,-Z
1965-AA
1966-AB
1967-AC
1968-AD, -68
1969-69
1970-70
1971-71
1972-72

Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture maybe determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100:
Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75] and SN 94365295 would have been made in 2006 [ 100 - 94 = 06 (2006) ].

For Marlin Rimfire Rifles [non-serialized]:

From 1962 thru 1968 Marlins rimfire rifles (other than the 39 series lever actions) used a two letter date code that was stamped on the barrel. This date code is different than the one already listed, as Marlin rimfire rifles (other than the model 39 series) did not have a serial numbers until required to by Law after 1968. The first letter of the date code represented the month of manufacture while the second letter indicated the year. This date code was usually stamped on the left side of the barrel just in front of the receiver. The first letter of the date code is as follows:

A = Jan.
B = Feb.
C = Mar.
D = Apr.
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = Aug.
I = Sep.
J = Oct.
K = Nov.
L = Dec.

The second letter of the date code is as follows:

F = 1962
G = 1963
H = 1964
I = 1965
J = 1966
K = 1967
L = 1968

So a date code of "JK" would indicate that rifle was made in October of 1967.

 

I recently received this Wheeler 72-Piece Professional Gunsmithing Screwdriver Set as a gift. While it is a great set, I have several screwdriver sets, and don't really need another.

Would anyone like this? It is unused - other than to look at it.

It will also work well as a travel kit, since the bits are held tight.

I'll ship it to you for $60.

 

Ill take it...my other "gunsmith" kit has turned into the household one lol

 

Do I have to use rockset on my SureFire warcomp muzzle device? I plan on putting it on another build once it’s finished being built.

 

I’m assuming your running it quite. If youre not suppressed, it doesn’t matter.

You can break the comp off the rockset by just putting it in water for like 30 minutes.

 

I’d recommend you use something, blue treadlocker would probably be sufficient. You’ll need to make sure it’s tight often to avoid baffle strikes.

 

That’s why the make rockset. Loctite will just burn off if using a suppressor. Red loctite softens at 400 degrees, and most of us run suppressors at 400-900 degrees in a single shooting session. Rockset works to 2000 degrees.
