The Official Status Update Thread: Part 162 - Circus Maximus

Leadeye, did you ever try that lead out that I brought you? Does it work, and do you want more?

Can always use more lead, thanks!

I know bolt-action guns go "PEW, clic-clac, PEW", semi-auto can go "pew, pew ,pew" and full-auto is more like "pewpewpewpew!".

I'm not sure if those are the technical terms used by the ATF or not for legal definitions.

Jagee in the Wild.

300 rounds???

It's probably why there is a hole in the middle of that table, so that you can load a really long mag from underneath the table!

Or one of these.

I better send a warning to the groundhogs like I did the bunnies.

How are you feeling there Angelina Jolie?

Hi Mom45

The warning worked for the rabbits here, they haven't been back.

It's a belt fed bolt gun. You've got to be a real tactical operator type to run it.

I've got a pretty good supply if it is a proper blend for what your using it for.

I adjust lead as I need it, have bars of pure tin, pure lead and high antimonal foundry type. it's all useful to me.

 

[chocktaw2]

You can probably have a crew of midgets standing under the table to reload too!
As long as you keep the magwell above the hole on the table.

The midgets job is to have the next mag loaded, and then shove the loaded one in when he drops the first one.

Home again home again

Midget crew served weapon!

The 1917A1 that those belts feed was John Browning's first serious machine gun sale to the army. In it's first trial it fired for 48 minutes non stop going through over 21,000 rounds of ammo, as fast as they could load belts and pump water into it. No stoppages, needless to say the Army was impressed.

I just cut it open, and I know there is a big difference between the repair sleeves and the actual cable sheath. The sleeves are a lot harder.

I'm still waiting to see this one.

Antimony makes the lead hard and brittle to a certain degree. Tin really helps more with the flow out in the mold but does give some hardness.

Welcome home CM, good day?

Great day.
Spouse was running her gun with us today. She shot a few others as well.

It sounds as though you've got the metallurgy figured out. I should have known. .............
