Boredom...

[spyder]

Yep, I was bored today, so I decided to make a sling attachment. I might just have to make one that goes on the buffer now...

Thats pretty cool! How do ya think it will hold up in a zombie attack? I made a hand guard for my Springfield Scout out of paracord, that turned out cool as well!! [Beer]

I have no idea how it is going to hold up. I would think it would be fine. I am taking it hunting all this next week out here, I'll see how it does with that.

I really like that as well. Where do you learn the technique for stuff like that? Is there a website?

I learned that Knot stuff in boyscouts and fishing knots too. Just apply that to a guns and wallahh!! [Coffee]

I like it, but it looks prone to melting from heat coming off the barrel....

Kevlar paracord?

That is a great design and practical. Kudos[Beer]

It is called a solomon knot. It's really easy to do. I just looked up pictures of it and figured it out.

The POF has a giant heatsink as a barrel nut... I hope that removes enough heat to keep it from melting. Even without it though, I don't think that I, or most of us will be putting down the ammount of rounds in the time duration to actually have to worry about that problem.

thats what I was going to mention.

once you start dropping zombies, your barrel might get up to 1000 degrees F.

I just did a little research on the cord that I have and it is made out of a specific nylon called cordura (nylon 66). Cordura has a melting temperature of 509 degrees. Now, I can see a barrel reaching that pretty fast if you are putting a lot of lead down range really fast, however, to get the air a half inch away from the barrel to reach that kind of temp is a little harder to do. I will do a little testing on this Monday when we are forging in class on our tool steel, if someone wanted to test this out tonight or tomorrow, that would be cool too. So, anyway, as it sits, I'm pretty sure the paracord is safe where it is as I am not going to be running that gun on full auto.

Here's a cool site I found awhile back on paracord projects:

Thank you Stag.


Spyder, clearly the answer is to just wrap the cord in aluminum foil.

Right. Just make sure the shiny side is out.
