What did you do in the shop today?

I swapped scopes on an AR and my 40X. The AR had a 20X Super Sniper, the 40X a 16X Super Sniper. I wanted more power on the 40X for shooting down at the OTC.

In the process, I discovered the reticle on the 20X was canted a degree or so. I generally test every scope before mounting, but this one slipped past me. It doesn't matter much (I set the erector plumb, not the reticle), but it took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on.

I hit the reset button on the bench. You know, when you just have to put all the tools and stuff away so you can see the bench top, and start over. It was refreshing.

Bought a new CZ P-07 and replaced the plastic captured guide rod and hammer spring plug with stainless parts that I machined with optimized dimensions. Can't believe how much $$$ people pay for these things.

Got the suppressor mount tack-welded on as per ATF recommendations. So finished the latest build. Now I have to sit on it until next weekend to shoot it. I don't wait well.

Four tack welds is no longer considered "permanent" as a means of muzzle device attachment.
Silver solder with 1100 degree melting point.
Blind pin and weld.
Continuous fusion weld for at least 180 degrees of barrel circumference.
Those are the three accepted methods in the BATFE regulations.
(they shit canned the 4 tacks in 07 or 09)

[Alpha2]

Yeah, I got the message. It looks like maybe one more tack weld and I'll actually have the 180 degrees. I think that I've reached the age that most of my information is obsolete.

Hey, Bert, still trying to get a hold of you on the barrel threading for my Remmy 700 .308 with the VTR barrel...and maybe your suggestions for other options, if better.

Kazoo, you going to be available Friday AM for a tack weld? I'm off Friday, and I'm heading out the range to do some zeroing on the .308, but could stop by to make that suppressor adapter legal.

My guy should be here friday 1/2 day. probably in the a.m.

Cleaned up and blued the welds on my 14.5". It's SOOOOO legal now. I feel so much safer. That EBR can't hurt anyone now. Added another 1.6" of complete safeness.
