I bet they were planning to do a real life BF/CoD death match with some guatamalan captives. Also any idea whats in the bricks? guessing coke?
Not a big problem if you're going to use it for illegal activities. Making a full auto trigger group that is.Quote:

A company called Microtech makes a US civilian legal version, but they haven't gotten rights for the AUG A4 yet.Quote:

Important information: Don't use it on or in the vicinity of your dog. Ballistol is highly addictive to dogs.
A neighbour of mine is a hunter. He's got a German Spaniel. The dog had an issue with his front left paw, it had some very sore parts and was very dry and the poor thing started to limp around. My neighbour didn't know how to help himself on a saturday afternoon, so he treated the paw with some Ballistol.
It worked like a charm!
But the dog started to lick his paw and ever since he's going nuts whenever he thinks to have a chance of getting a bit of Ballistol. According to the producer it's food safe but after seeing the dog go apeshit crazy for a lick of Ballistol I kinda doubt it.
To get any cosmoline out of a mosin, you only need hot water. Doesn't even have to be boiling. Make a few coffee pots of hot water and that should do the trick. If you're trying to clean one after firing corrosive ammo, a single run of Windex is enough to clean out the barrel. Don't forget to hit up the bolt face. The corrosive part is from the primers and there's always a chance that a bit of residue may kick back through the primer base.
The first time I cleaned my Mosin, I used only oil. After about 3 weeks I checked it and was shocked to find a light coat of inside the length of the barrel. The Windex treatment cured it of that issue but cleaning it was always a pain in the ass. I bought some Tubbs 2000 lapping rounds and had a friend load them up for me. The barrel now takes much less effort to clean.
Not sure if this has been posted already?

Looks similar to wax slugs.
That is bretty gool, I wonder how the accuracy is.
On an unrelated note, I got my grandfather's Remington 700 in .30-06 and love it. Going to put my SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 on it and get an SWFA 1-6x24 for my Model 70 in .243 :D
Yo Remington, your action is really accurate, and Imma let you finish. But Mauser has the best bolt action of all time. OF ALL TIME!Quote:

Very nasty shallow and painful wounds of shredded flesh. While possible it will be fatal, the chance that the person or animal you're shooting is conscious and mobile will be much higher (and still be a threat). You would have to be in a pretty dire and extremely sudden situation to have to use a cut shell rather than preparing proper rounds.
The cut shells penetrated 5 1/2in of ballistic gel. The wax slugs reached 7 1/2. Both expelled a large portion of their pellets back through the entry wound and only a few traveled very far into the body, many staying in the early formed cavity. FBI testing requires a minimum of 12in. penetration to reliably reach vitals. The 12in. is used because different tissues have different densities. Muscle is much more difficult to penetrate than fat or organ tissues. This is also bare gelatin and no clothing was placed ahead of it which often causes reduced results.

They sell a mold for like $20 that can covert the same load of birdshot into a 1oz foster slug that is really accurate. It re-uses the same shot cup and shells even if low brass. There's also a buckshot mold which gives you a sort of low recoil style buckshot load. So if you're going to go through the trouble of making wax slugs, then the extra step to making a much much more effective round is worth it.

Mauser is better than say a Mosin but you can't discount the value of the surplus rifles of the turn of the century. Arisaka... Springfield 1903...Enfield.... and Nagant... are quality riifles that don't get the glamour imhoQuote:

Compare the cut shell and wax slug performance against real slugs and buckshot.

You guys were talkin about modern rifles... :/

The problem is that almost all of those rifles saw their limelight in WWI. By the time WWII rolled around, they were long in the tooth and little had been done to advance firearm tech. Then the M1 Garand came around and changed all of that. By the end of the war, every nation had seen the benefits and those that could afford it moved on to their own semi-autos.Quote:

Also, the M700's action is based on the Mauser action. To tell the truth, most modern bolt action rifles incorporate the basic Mauser design for it's simplicity, it's ruggedness, and it's accuracy.
The Mosin had crude firing nocks in comparison but that was an intended feature due to the thicker primers and no gas porting. Arisaka's were too complicated and ended up being simplified by the end of the war. The Enfield locks in the rear which made it fast and smooth. But that feature destined the rifle for obsolescence shortly afterward and it can barely handle modern .308 loads. Compare that to the Mauser which has fat locking lugs in the front and has handled loads like 375mm Remington Ultra Magnum.
Picture only has a 7mm RUM which is slightly smaller than the .375 RUM. The round on the right is a .308. All can be safely loaded in an M700 with it's Mauser action. Only the Mosin has the chops to do something similar.

US ammo prices about to go up? (First part of this vid)

Yeah lead a difficult resource to obtain.Quote:

Sierra bullets confirmed that they've never used any from this plant.Quote:

Now granted, this doesn't mean that ammo makers might not raise prices or keep them at the current rate and try to use this as an excuse. But for the most part, ammo shortages and high prices are a result of hoarding after some States made new gun legislation and the current administration talking about it. Prices have already started to come down but it will be sometime next year when we see them near the same prices that we were used to. Ammo makers have been running at full capacity for a while now and I imagine there will be a glut in a while once the hoarders have filled their boots and regular shooters have enough for their needs. I wonder if Russian has upped their production to take advantage of this problem in the US?
Although I'll never run any Tula through my AR-15 again. I have had two stuck casing issues where the extractor sheared the rims and I had to use a cleaning rod and mallet (bent the rod doing it) to get them out. Maybe I'll try brown bear or golden bear. But even then Russian bi-metal ammo kills barrels much faster than full lead ammo.
