Eureka! i figured out aa way to not only take advantage of the faux water jacket but also make a simple system that would feasibly work very well and be lore friendly: gas delayed blowback. a port just infront of the chamber vents gas into the jacket, applying pressure to a large ring shaped...

something iv considered is that the very essence of the gun is its imprompt. no two are going to be alike. this gives me some creative liberty in trimming down some more complicated bits. i think it makes more sense to make it feed from 74 mags, or at the least a hand made box mag, rather than...

also i did look at the hotchkiss but the issue with how the game portays the gun is its litterally aa metal frame of a box. there is no spring clips or anything, the rounds are only loosely held in when all 30 or so are inside. i suppose if a proper ratcheting system could be thought up, and the...

i would be planing on making it a legal carbine, i had though about roller delays or some other form of mechanical delay. i also though maybe a maxim style feeding would work, where a claw grabs the cartridge from above the chamber and lowers it down to feed it in. the main hurdle is the...

Alright so, I've had a project in mind for a few years now, finally at a point in life where i can possibly begin work on it. I want to replicate a gun from the game/ book series Metro 2033, lovingly called the Bastard. In the game its a hand made "SMG" known for over heating and jamming, hence...

got a box of 125s today. loaded 10 rounds. shot great! also traded off about 50 rounds of ap and s&b brass and 40 rounds of federal 45s for about 75 rounds of lake city brass

my brass is a mixed batch. few LC that have no issues, som federal centerfire that hasnt had much issues, som aromscor precision which i havent tried. i realize now that the S&B 223 brass is what iv been using that jams. i will try making a dummy with each brass and not crimping it and see what...

thank you for your help guys. iv been using the 180s because they are currently the heaviest and longest .308 bullet i can get ahold of locally. when i looked up how the twist rate effects your loading i was under the impression 125s wouldnt stabilize in such a fast twist. i will try the magic...

the other major problem i am having is chambering. im using 180 grain sierra matchking HPBT with no cannelure, and when and if they chamber fully they require more force than should ever be needed to remove the round from the chamber. at first i thought it was my COL was too long and they were...

alright so i finally got the 300 blackout iv been dieing after ever since i read up on the caliber. i have hornady dies, a pound of h110, some converted and unconverted 223 brass, and some spare 180 grain boat tails. the problem is, i dont yet have a good reloading manual, the one iv used is...

so as long as i pick a quad that attaches to the barrel i should be ok?

i purchased a cenury AES-10 (the older, lighter version) from the local gun shop. the gun is in pretty good shape considering what iv heard about these builds with one exception: the gas block is canted a little to the left. its just enought to notice, but it doesnt effect the guns function at...

OP: What happened to the purpose of this thread??? Lord! i came to this forum and posted this thread to ask for the sagely advice of men or women further in the life of firearms than i, and i get a complete cluster-chuck. im gonna try one last time before i just give this up: is it possible...

OP Forgotten yikes.... when you guys stop firebombing eachother... can we all calm down and return the purpose of the thread?

waah lordy! i certainly didnt mean to cause this wildfire of a debate to start over my day dreams ><. i like... custom things. i like having something that few others have, something unique, that is practical enough not to kill me in the long run. now i keep hearing this 360 Dan Wesson cartidge...

well now im stuck. i cast my bullets and i know they have to be resized, but how big should they be? the mold says they come out at .430 so do i need a .430 lee sizing die or a .429? *EDIT* Well tonight i learned that little observations can really save ya. i was used to having to resize my...

damn, i thought as much. well, it was worth a shot, gotta admit woulda been pretty friggin sweet if it would of worked. im pretty budget restricted, do you think theres any hope for getting a double action 357 max that ISNT going to kill my wallet?

so i love revolvers. love love love them. 18 and iv iv loved them as long as i can remember. to own a 357 maximum revolver is a very high goal for me. anyway, without rambling on TOO much more, i was poking around the net and discovered that Taurus has an 8 shot 357 magnum (the model 608). my...

ooooh thank you savanah! that rifle has real sentimental value to my father, and im sure that being able to hunt with it would make him very happy. anyway, than you all for your help with this, i will definately be signing up to LoadData.com. From what iv been hearing locally, 310 grains is abit...

dp you know if loaddata.com has ifo on the 6.5x257 roberts wildcat? if so i would deffinately subscribe to that my father has a rifle in that cartridge and it would help ALOT.
