Great rifle. I use mine to hunt deer. It makes a useful bush/field rifle. I have also had good experiences with the polymer magazines.

Your point regarding increased volume in a blowback design is interesting. If I follow you correctly, you are saying that, effectively, pressure is reduced very slightly compared to a locked breech due to slightly higher volume containing detonation gases?

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone has or knows where to find any firearm blueprints. Fully tolerances would be preferable. I'm not attempting to build a firearm, merely studying the blueprint techniques and various moving part fits. 1911 and AR15 pattern firearms are preferable, as I have...

I'm with you on the LCP, OP. My hands are medium-size and the LCP simply feels too small. This is why I will not carry anything smaller than a J-frame. As far as ultra-concealable guns go, I find the J-frame to be just right for me. It's small enough to fit into my front pocket while large...

I think you're on the right track. What we need is a P-v diagram. If we knew the position of the bullet at some discrete points in time we could easily convert the "time" axis on the graph you provided to a "volume" axis. If we integrated the area under this curve we would have work. Compare...

brickeyee, Yes, I understand that the ideal gas model breaks down readily. The point of the Charles/ideal gas discussion was to demonstrate the relationship between the two. They are both equations of state which define ideal gases. In fact, an ideal gas is literally defined as "a gas that...

I used to believe that only a cynical attitude was logical. Then I learned to reason.

In response to brickeeye, Charle's Law and the Ideal Gas Law The observations behind this relationship were first observed by Jacques Alexander Cesar Charles in 1787. However, the relationship was first published in 1802 by Joseph Luis Gay-Lussac (hence, Charles--Gay-Lussac's Law). Combining...

My mistake. I apologize to the poster that my comment was aimed at.

I don't wish to be brash or rude to the original poster, but I'm rather surprised that this event was even brought up. Even more confounding is the number of responses that this post has generated. I can completely understand your initial alarm at a late night jiggle of your door. However, the...

Is the worth of a man measured by the number of others his loss affects? This discussion of the relative "worth" of human beings is morbid and entirely misguided from the original intents and purposes of the opening post. This discussion's roots lay in the equal worth of all; the subsequent...

There is an initial displacement on the recoil spring. Look at a 1911, for example, anyone that's ever field stripped a 1911 knows of the frustrating (and potentially dangerous) preload on the recoil spring after removing the barrel nut. If recoil springs were not preloaded the slide would...

For those of you that are in the know about these rifles, do they come with a 16" barrel + a thread-on flash suppressor/muzzle break or are they 14.5" barrels with a welded attachment?

Why is everyone taking this so seriously? To the OP, good for you for thinking creatively. There's no reason that someone should be excessively berated for attempting to share some casual ideas over the forum. If you have nothing constructive to say, don't say anything at all. Look at all this...

"God given", inalienable rights are the MOST important rights by far. It is the responsibility of our government to make laws based on our inalienable rights to protect and preserve them. This should be a government's most important objective. Tyranny is when government strays from this duty...

"The next time you're in trouble, don't just dial 911.... Dial 911 plus 1000!" How did you ever think of this incredibly witty sig line?
