wow, what has happenned since I've been gone? lol, I followed along when nightcrawler first wrote of his exploits, then again when he wrote tails from the road. then I'm caruzing a forum that I haven't been to in forever (THR) and BANG!!! I see it. needless to say I just pulled an...

enough money to start my own arms company (F-TAC, Flint Tactical Arms Company)(but I guess that would include a full machine shop). on the arms side of it, hhhmmm. very diverse want list from a beretta double rifle in 9.3x74 (an express ss06 to be exact) to an authentic first...

I'f my eyes don't decieve me that pistol was made from a winchester model 67, which was only manufactured from 34' to 63' (somewhere between 380,000 and 400,000 were produced). note, all were pre-64 thus no serial numbers

I still miss em, good readin

so I was looking through my hard drive the other day and I come across a massive word document titled 'nightcrawler', I instantly remember what it is and I open it. so I start reading it and find that his storie is just as addicting as the last time around, when he originally posted it on here...

looking at it from my poiunt of view. its cheap, its pretty (to me), it shoots well. any way you look at it I think its one of my next guns.

can you get a 215 grain BT for 338? that would be cool. 95 grain bt out of a 243 is what I use for PDs. too much fun. now if only I could find a place with more P dogs than Pennsylvania

I have the barrel shroud/barrel nut assembly done, but not the gas block. I had a large portion of the gas block done but then started reworking the CAD drawings and realized I had a couple of errors, so I scrapped a few hours of work, darn it. the bolt is cut and to a large extent is looking...

things are comeing along alright. slow, but I am making progress. the truth is that I would like to make one in 9 mm, 50 ae, 10 mm, 357 sig. and a bunch of other calibers but I don't have the time or money. the reason I am doing it in 9 mm is because the only cheap barrels I can get my hands on...

I have an NEF hand-rifle in 243 win. I love it. it shoots like a dream and the only problem I have had with it is the ejector sticking, which I solved with a drift pin and emery cloth. I don't handload but I enjoy accurate shooting very much. so I have tried various different factory loads in...

I need the bore diameter of a 41 AE. if anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it. I've looked on ammo giude and other place but can't seem to find the dimensions. thanks flint

heres a good link on gun laws gun laws

good point about the GS. I took that into consideration. the gas block is manchined out of solid cold roled steel, heat treated. the plan for testing was to tie a string to the trigger, set the gun up on a rest and move far away to pull the trigger. I was going to start with the port closed and...

I cal this project my POC project, for Proof Of Concept. I have an idea that I think is a real good one but I need to prove it. 9mm barrels are cheap (about 20 bucks from cdnn). 9mm ammo is cheap. and if the breach locking system fails and goes KB its not gonna leave a hole in the ground the...

well corncob. the truth is I did minimal math and designed my way around as much of the problems as possible. thats why this is a concept or proto. the fact is I need the piston to move a given distance. I know the general pressure of a 9mm round at 6 inches down the barrel. all I need to do is...
