My pleasure.... I get a bit bored with people stating 'it's failed cuz its poor quality' without any qualification or analysis.

Going back to nozzle failures earlier in the thread: That looks like a brittle failure, rather than an overstressed failure, judging* by the shell-shaped tide marks in the failure face on the pictures shown. This is an injection moulded part- Understand that an injection mould will have 3-50 part spaces in each tool, so a single 'shot' produces as many as possible. It's most likely that there are 10 or so nozzles in each shot. If the tool is poorly designed and/or process controls aren't being adhered to, you often get the part-mould furthest from the shot being poorly cast- The pla

In lieu of an off-the-shelf Carl Gustav M45, here's my little effort....Based on an ICS M3 As well as my other 'Nam style silent sentry removal tools- .22 Hush Puppy and good ol' Gerber Mk2

In lieu of an off-the-shelf Carl Gustav M45, here's my little effort....Based on an ICS M3: All your silent sentry removal needs.... VERY front heavy now- it's an all steel unit I've had machined and custom blued...not 100% sure I'll keep it. Just to show everyone it's a slip on/slip off unit- single grub screw means I can convert back to the usual M3 style in seconds.

This started life as a Tercel full metal/wood pump action- which is nice but not right for the diddy-bopping down them rice paddies in the Delta. So I: ~Stripped off the vile orange varnish on the wood ~Left it rough in places to simulate combat usage ~Stained it with dark oak ~Rubbed in about 7 coats of Danish Oil ~Ripped off the 'slugster' sights and added a 1970s 'Speedbead' at the front ~Added a 1960s dated utility strap. And got something rather more 'battle worn' for use with 'Nam period gear.
