Only thing I can think of is the feed ramps

The feed ramps are internal to the rifle

But since you mentioned magazines, do you have any cheapos for that rifle?

If you don't mind sacrificing a mag for the sake of experimentation, you could try shaving down the front of one a little bit

Theoretically that should push the round up less

Yeah, check it periodically

Not sure how precise your equipment is, but if I was doing it and had a bridgeport, I'd do a .015 plunge and check it each time

Those saiga specific mags you have?

If you look at the front of it, it's almost squared off in relation to the feed lips

On true AK mags, there is a cutout there so they feed straight out of it

Yeah promags are garbage

Anyways the difference between those two is where I get the idea I presented to you

Here's the factory one

Permanently fit it? I'm not sure what you mean

Some of the AR10s out there take modified M1A mags

But yeah, I'd pick a mag to sacrifice and experiment with modifying it

Let me know how well it works out. If you're successful, I'd like to keep that in mind in case any of my other gun guy buddies have that issue

I'll add you as a friend too, so its easy for ya to contact me

Lmao that meme

I'm a bit of a gun guy, don't know shit about those. Do they even sell those in the states?

@LeSwede Every prepper should have a plan to egress if needed. Should it be a first course of action? For many, the answer is no

For people in NYC or New Orleans, which is about to get hit by a hurricane, it might be

@A Person The problem with threading a barrel isn't just money. It requires a setup that has virtually perfect concentricity because if the muzzle attachment isn't on perfectly concentric with the barrel, your accuracy goes to shit

Plus muzzle brakes are really noisy to anyone behind the muzzle

Also not necessary for many firearms on the market

I know what it is and what it looks like. I've never seen it for sale here though

What kind of accuracy are you looking for that warrants doing all of that work?

You can build one with parts already on the market that'll shoot plenty accurate

We're talking about groups of less than an inch at 100 yards

Oh. I meant a long range gun

Not a WA2000 specifically

Depends on your state and what you're hunting

I couldn't answer that question, unfortunately

I'm not the one to ask. I don't live out there

I'm behind enemy lines in Commiefornia

Chances are it's gonna depend on your chambering and magazine capacity

Best bet is to link up with some local hunters and have them square you away

Department of Fish and Game can help you there too

Hollow points might expand a bit too much, depending on the design

Expansion and clean kill?

A lot of expansion is going to cause a lot of tissue destruction. Good for putting the deer down but you ruin the meat

True

Plus it's a psysically smaller target even if it was stationary

Not gonna lie, I kinda wanna build a single shot shotgun from scratch

1937 Nash straight 8 engine

Nothing illegal about me building a single shot shotgun from scratch as long as I make the barrel length at least 18 inches and the overall 26

And I have to serialize it if I ever intend to sell it

This was when I first brought it home

Peak under the valve cover

I suspect that the engine was built back in the 80s

Oh, this thing is so far from original

I'm restomodding it for sure

It's a 1970 010 cast iron block. The heads are high compression double hump 461 castings

Long tubes, solid lifter cam, 650 cfm holley on a single plane aluminum intake

This thing was cobbled together from random parts

The block was out of a passenger car. Was originally a 250 horsepower low compression 350 with a 2-barrel

Someone who had the car before me had the engine built, or built it

The engine was in the car when I bought it

Had to afk real quick

Yes, that's my engine in the picture. Somebody put some money in those heads. It's got screw in rocker studs and guide plates in there, also has 202 stampings on the heads so I suspect it's been machined for bigger valves

Has an old Hays breakerless ignition system in it that's been discontinued since 98

Runs on 91, has some cam lope to her

Bought it November of last year

I'm in the process of going through the drivetrain and suspension still

It's an expensive project so I can only buy parts for it every so often

I'm a sucker for the pre-smog era vettes

So, I guess the answer is kind of

The C8 doesnt excite me tbh

I prefer my cars to be as mechanical and simple as possible, so naturally anything new turns me off

Electronics, to me, just add another annoying layer of troubleshooting

I couldnt own anything that new

Just cross your fingers that the cylinder deactivation system doesn't crap out on ya

My eventual goal is to be as late 60s or older with my whole vehicle fleet

A 98 ford ranger

Yeah

Its a decent machine

Like I said though, nobody really gives a rats ass about the truck

It has been reliable

I wouldn't touch most fords tbh. Not even the post-70 mustangs

I like some of their trucks but thats pretty much it

Some cases, their quality control, but mostly because I grew up GM

Familiarity, if nothing else

Small block chevy is about the greatest thing in the automotive world, as far as I'm concerned. It's simple, versatile, easy to buy into and maintain, can build it for reliability or for gobs of horsepower and torque

Parts are all over the place for it

The LS is awesome too, but I just prefer the raw mechanical simplicity of a carbureted engine with a mechanical fuel pump and a distributor

No computer, no smog

Everything you need to run the engine and nothing extra

So I won't be LS swapping the vette

Lol

I'm kinda old school for my age

Going to be 23 in october

Have had numerous people guesstimate that I'm 30

That number gets floated around more often online

Oh, yeah, thats how I am

Pretty much don't listen to music newer than the 90s either

A few exceptions to that but they're rare

Fuckin A
