Fuser Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Mod note: As usual, no discussion of terminal ballistics or things of that nature, please. Just got a Brownell's Latigo sling and a Tim Skinner peep sight for my Marlin 39A. Both great additions. I'll try to get a picture or two tomorrow. Waiting on a Peli 1720.

Wayneard3413 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Why is it so long? SBR that! Seriously...lovely gun man. I concur... But seriously I have wanted to build something like this since the first time I saw it... It would quickly replace my chopped Enfield as my go to woods gun Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Lever Actions are hella legit. That black one looks dandy Erik, that optics setup is horrid. Fix it Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 ok, since my question was lost in the other thread. what is an inexpensive extended relief scope? somewhere between 70-150 dollars Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I believe that Burris makes the least expensive Scout scope on the market. I'm not sure why you would want one, though, unless you're using a rifle that takes stripper clips. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Why is it so long? SBR that! Seriously...lovely gun man. Thanks! I once considered mounting a T1 on it, and then abruptly burned the idea. This is my "keep in storage until the day I teach my kid to shoot" simple, simple rifle. Followed by a .45 when I turn 21 And eventually an ACR depending on income, state of residence, and political climate. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Jag, not to ride a dead horse or anything but when you say slingshot the slide what exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean an overhand grip pulling the slide back into your chest or do you mean the traditional slingshot, ie turning the ejection port towards the sky, grabbing the slide with your thumb and index finger and pulling back? I sure hope its not the latter. Clarify if you will. Also, those lever actions are freakin AWESOME! Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 The former. Link to post Share on other sites
billytehbob Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 What's the problem with the latter for sling shot-ing a slide? Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 i sometimes use the latter method you described for my slingshot, but i dont turn the pistol sideways. that way, i can still keep my arm mostly extended ready for the next shot, rather than retracting it for the other method. -Joe Link to post Share on other sites

Titleist Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hah, thanks. And yeah, the price is about 445 with shipping. If fedex actually stays on schedule I'll have my SR-15 E3 IWS back next Wednesday (ugh, thanks KAC for shipping my gun back with the slowest method, but hey they fixed the gun for free). I'll install my modified ASAP, Triple Tap Brake, and FDE goodies. And drag the gun out to the range next weekend. If I wanted to be scientific I'd borrow a force guage and go once with the A2 brake, and once with the TTB installed, and see how much felt reduction is caused by the new brake.

Kipper Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Just wondered if anyone knew the basic principle behind how muzzle breaks reduce recoil? I'm guessing it something similar to silencers but instead of slowing down exhaust gases they allow them to run freely or something? Just a guess Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 A muzzle brake works be deflecting gasses out in a pattern that generates either downward or forward pull to counteract recoil/muzzle climb. A flashhider disperses gas out to minimize flash obviously. For example my PWS FSC556 brake (aka the BBQ tool) shoots gas out the sides in an upward direction, this helps eliminate flash but also reduces muzzle climb. The simple act of gas being focused out the barrel can add to recoil. KAC isn't explaining how their system works for obvious reasons, but my current theory is that by closing the end of the flashhider you create a backblast that shoots out the thin vents causing forward movement, which helps recoil and muzzle climb. The thin slots in the front help eliminate an overpressure that could cause the blast chamber to explode. Link to post Share on other sites

Titleist Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 455$ for a muzzle brake? Sigh.... Say that after you've fired it. From the one time I did last year it was pretty amazing technology. Link to post Share on other sites
