very nice set up!
this is a new TOK 15 upper by MadMachinist here on the site and as you can see he makes a nice looking piece.
this is a GAS OPERATED set up, not blowback and you can taste the difference when you shoot them.
he will make these in flat top or carry handle uppers, i just prefer carry handle.
its very slick and you cant tell this wasnt a store bought upper at all. it uses pps43 mags and has a magwell insert to make them work with the factory mag release. pretty nifty set up!
only took me about 10 minutes to get the magwell adapter in and set and then the upper went right on my DPMS lower set up.
it also fit my TM lowers that i finished out but i had this DPMS set aside for this.
so now lets get to the part every one wants to see and plug in the video.
(if someone wants to imbed this video for me would be nice)
oh and Josh if you see this can you ad this to your video page?
thanks for looking and if you want one then send MadMachinist a PM.

I've had 7.62X25 ARs for some time. The first was a blowback I got back in 2002 -- I still have that and it's a good work horse. My second was a DI Tok AR with a pistol length system. I got that back in 2005 and it was actually for a version of a Mini-whisper so it was used with hand loads. My new one is the more modern type with the short gas system and it shoots great. I started out with an A2 upper receiver on it but it shot so well I decided to put the DSA blem upper I got (thanks to this site) and added a scope to see what it could really do.
I have not had a chance to shoot it since I added the scope but if it shoots like the mini-whisper it should be one hole groups. I forgot to say the magazine is a CZ-24 that I use for some other rounds based on the 7.62 Tok. One of those rounds is the 22 Reed Express. I use the PPS mags in the blowback version but I do have a PPS magblock for the DI version also.

We added a photo of my son and revised the event info to personalize, and all of that came out exactly as we had requested with no mistakes. I ended up using the invite theme for the overall theme of my son's party because I liked it so much!"
"These invitations are very cute and the quality is great. They are exactly what I had in mind for our child's vintage carnival-themed birthday!"
"Everyone raved about the card. Really had everybody hyped up about the party. I even think it gave a classy approach to our backyard birthday party."
"I upgraded to the higher paper quality, and this invitation came out perfect! Looks exactly like it does online. I used the "ticket" shape, and the edges were cut really nicely/good quality. I used the free designer review, and they were wonderful. My picture was a little blurry, and designer review kindly cleared up the picture. Very happy! Would 100% purchase again."
"As soon as the card arrived at my friend's homes they called saying how "fun" the card looked! This card is the perfect description of our 1 year old."

87 YJ Jeep Project. 90% done. New 33" Tires. Lifted. $2300
$2300 Cash or $3000-ish Trade.
I have a 1yr old and a 2yr old, and they eat up ALL of my free time, so I need to part with this project. Its nearly done, and will make a damn fine jeep for someone with some rather minimal work.
New 33" Wild Country AT Tires with chrome rims. Comes with a 33" BFG KM1 as afull-size spare (nearly full tread), but it will need to be mounted to an included steel rim.
133k Miles
6" Rough Country Suspension Lift
4.2 258 v-6 Motor with carb
4.10 dana 30/35 axles
new sway bar links for the lift
stainless brake lines
New Prothane bushings on the majority of the suspension/front end components. Also has a Prothane pass side motor mount that still needs to get installed.
new trans skid plate / mounts
The body is all solid. Floors are solid.
Has a hardtop that i replaced all the seals and glass on (talk about a PITA!).
Doors were entirely rebuilt with new roller handles, and lock cylinders (with keys!)
brand new front windshield that was professionally installed - and the whole frame was sandblaster, rustproofed and bedlinered.
The whole jeep is bed linered on the inside and outside. The outside is gray tinted bedliner - inside is black.
new headlights/ tail lights lights
Aftermarket radio/speakers
Roof Rack
2 sets of Off road lights
new brakes / rotors / drums
Spare Calipers / Rotors / shoes
New Coil Pack
New Distributor
New Plugs
New Engine / Trans Mount
most of the brake lines are new
Posi Lok cable driven 4wd
new battery
Extra Mirrors (in case you want to run without the doors)
Floors and fenders are all solid with no rot. Coated in 2 tone bedliner - gray on black.
It has a relatively recent tune up and will come with a set of new plugs, as well.
Also comes with a back seat, but you'll need to remount it if you want to use it. I never needed it, so I removed the mounts.
There's rot on the rear of the frame in the typical YJ spots by the rear leaf mounts. That will need to be fixed before you take it off roading.
It will need the windshield wipers hooked up to a switch - I have a CJ switch, but never got around to tapping into the column wires for it.
I also have a spare 33" BFG AT tire for it and 15" rim, but it needs to be mounted.
The guy i bought it off of also had a crazy shackle lift on it, but it had plenty of suspension lift, so i cut the front shackles and dropped it some, but you'll need to do the same to the rear. Its basically cutting the steel and making an "H" bracket out of it. I just don't have time for it, and need something I can take up to my hunt camp and enjoy.
I took it up to the gas station and filled up the tank and it was making a rubbing sound - I think a caliper is hung up, or it might be as simple as the heatshield rubbing. Either way, its an issue. if its a stuck caliper, worry not - as i am also including a spare set of stock calipers.
It also isn't shifting properly - it keeps getting stuck in gear and is hard to go in gear. I drove this home from Taylor a year and a half ago, and it shifted fine - and I replaced the trans skid plate and trans mounts and engine mount. If I pump the clutch, it'll generally shift, so it could my a clutch master cylinder issue (but I just replaced it!). Honestly, I'm guessing something with the alignment is off, since it was previously shifting fine. Either way, the ba-10 peugeot trans is horrible, and if you're going to do this right, it should come out and be replaced with an AX15 or better (I was going to toss an AX15 in it).
It will SELF DRIVE on to a flat bed, but I certainly wouldn't drive it home like this. Then again, you might have bigger balls than I do!
I would be open to a trade for a 4x4 utility quad, or a couple of sport quads or either plus cash. or make an offer.

Sorry. AMC 4.2 engine. Manual trans. No power steering. carb'd.
4.10 Jeep Dana 30/35 axles (not 4.11's!). They were off a 90-something jeep.
I got them because I wanted something that mated better with my 33"s, since my YJ came stock with i believe 3.55's. They came from the jeep guy out in memphis, mi. They were in great shape. I got the new trans skid plate from the same guy.

It runs real good, but it could probably use a carb tune from someone who is better at it than I am. There weren't really a lot of issues with this carb unless you put it on some really extreme angles from what I read.
Oh, the 4wd is posi lok so the vacuum system has that load taken off it too.
If you have any more general questions feel free to pm me. I don't want to clutter the thread with general questions. Or stop by and take a look at it if you're serious about buying it

Sure thing - i'll try and get some pics posted of it later today. Its a typical rot spot, and its a relatively straight forward repair.
please PM me as I don't always check on this thread.

What kind of bike?
As requested - the pics of the rear. These are fairly typical spots on a YJ, and a member on here and jeep forum out of clinton twp actually sells the weld in replacement sections. rest of the frame is nice and solid.
pass side. looking in.
pass side looking in from rear

Breeding Advice
Hello all!!!!!
First official post here for me (sorry for the length, it is a small intro + fact finding mission).
I've been insanely busy with countless things among which are my breeding projects. I am hoping to shed some light on some of the road blocks I've encountered.The current projects that I have been consumed in are breeding Brine shrimp for fry food and raising my recent Pearl Gourami Fry.
However, in my zombie-like crawl past my community tank to my breeding projects (and my bed) after a long day at work, I notice some pretty chubby looking fish (my assumption is pregnant, since I highly doubt I over feed).
Among those fish are Harlequin Rasboras, Neon Tetras, Von Rio (Red Fire) Tetras that are more obnoxiously plump. Info on them would be nice.
But! The ones I am REALLY hoping to shed light on are (in order of my favorites :smile:);
Threadfin (Featherfin) Rainbows
Neon Rainbows
Australian Rainbows
Turquoise Rainbows
They show no signs of pregnancy, and I have definitely seen the Threadfins doing a mating ritual on several occasions, but nothing "looks" pregnant.
I have found information, but I am still struggling determining things such a sex/pregnant or not, etc... with certainty.
As I said, the tetras/rasboras just seem pregnant, and I was hoping there was a sign of eggs I could see besides bulges.
All of these fish are in a 56 Gal community tank, so I would like to quarantine them if they are pregnant, but I feel like I am on this crazy witch hunt putting random fat fish in breeder nets/traps/tanks. I am running out of spaces to put fish that I THINK are pregnant, just to find out I am wasting a good spot that could be used for fish that are.
I find myself obsessing over breeding my fish and someday hope to breed all of them!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

"If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium."
Internationally in-demand faculty member Julian Bonder can certainly relate – he has delivered the keynote addresses at the Fourth Annual Human Rights Conference in Lima, Peru, and the Babi Yar Park Memorial in Denver, Col. (both within days of each other), all the while managing his design studio in Cambridge, Mass., working on his award-winning Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery in Nantes, France, and teaching courses at RWU!
A descendent of Ukrainian immigrants who escaped the Holocaust by moving to Argentina, Professor Bonder grew up in New York and Buenos Aires and held teaching positions around the world before coming to RWU in 1999. A 2008 RWU Presidential Fellow, his work and scholarship focused on the relationship between memory, trauma and public space: "The site always has a story to tell," he says, "and our task is to unearth those stories and bring the voices of those who are silenced to the public space."
As a result of the fellowship, Professor Bonder's advanced design studio explored issues of slavery and slave trading in Rhode Island over two semesters, culminating in a public exhibition in spring 2009. "Part of my approach to teaching is to always expect more from my students, raise the bar to the highest level and be supportive," he says. "I look at my students as young colleagues, so I expect the level of commitment and dedication to the work to be equal."

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Modernization in developing countries may be accompanied by a transition from epidemic infectious diseases to chronic and degenerative illnesses as predominant causes of morbidity and mortality. The hygiene hypothesis posits that reduced exposure to infectious agents in childhood as a result of modern advances in public health can alter the development of the immune system to increase the risk of allergic, autoimmune and other illnesses. Participants will discuss the differences in disease patterns between industrialized and developing countries and consider the scientific evidence for the hygiene hypothesis and its implications for human health.

I am learning that good art is not a requirement on this site. You have the EC (Established Clique) who only vote for each other. That's how all these rainbows, unicorns, bunnies, kittens are always in the fog.
I will say last week's Imaginary Restaurant was an exception. Very good ORIGINAL designs were chosen as winners. Woot needs more of those type Derbies and rid themselves of these leeches who draw the same crap every week.

Spring Greening Festival to offer free concerts, great food, and fun activities
Release Date: 4/2/2012
If you're looking for something to do on a Saturday, how about a free outdoor concert featuring a number of different bands? What if there were also free food and booths featuring work by local artisans? This April, there will be a day exactly like that, right here in Clarksville, when the second annual Spring Greening Festival kicks off down at historic Legion Island.
Ginny Gardner, a senior art and secondary education major from Little Rock, created the artwork used to promote the upcoming Spring Greening Festival. She also created the design which will be used on the "Book It Downtown" 5K Race T-shirts. Gardner's work often pulls in themes from nature and the environment.
The festival will open on Friday night, April 13, when Ozarks Outdoors will host a "jam session" on the stage at the American Legion Hall, known locally as "the Castle." The headliner at Friday's event will be Guta, a roots music band from Fayetteville, Ark. And since it is Friday, the 13th, and since the Castle is considered by many to be one of the most haunted places in this area, Dr. Brian McFarland, Ozarks associate professor of chemistry, will give festival goers a chance to do a little "ghost hunting" for themselves. McFarland, who teaches a course in science and the paranormal, will host several paranormal experience sessions, complete with EMF meter readings, voice and digital image recordings, and Ouija board communications. These sessions will be held throughout the night with eight to 10 participants per session.
Saturday's activities will take place on Legion Island, and will be more "family-focused" said Lauren Ray, a junior Environmental Studies major from Siloam Springs, Ark. A member of the Spring Greening Festival Planning Committee, Ray said all of the Saturday events were planned with three main goals in mind: to focus on environmental sustainability, healthy living, and supporting local businesses. All of the activities are intended to engage attendees in a fun, creative, family atmosphere that event organizers hope will increase environmental and community awareness and stewardship.
"It's about being a community, but also about how we can build the community using the sustainability efforts we already have in place," explained Dr. Heather McFarland, Ozarks assistant professor of communication. McFarland, who was one of the original spring greening festival organizers, said the festival has really grown this year, thanks to the combined efforts of all the organizers and sponsors. "It's going to be a big learning festival for everybody, and we're really excited about it because of that," she said. "It's a free family event - it's one of those where you can spend as much money as you want, or not spend anything."
The booths will open up on Saturday morning at 9 am, and at 9:30 am, festival-goers can try out a little yoga, with Krista DeBuhr owner of snerQ Yoga Studio. The "Book It Downtown" 5K Race, sponsored by the Johnson County Public Library, then starts at 10 am, followed by a 1 mile Family Walk, where even the little ones get a chance to walk part of the race trail.
At noon, HAWK (Helping Arkansas Wild Kritters) will give a presentation about their organization's efforts to rehabilitate injured wild animals. Dawn Holder, Ozarks assistant professor of art, is working with the OzARTS art club to setup a booth of student artwork and a number of other local artisans will also be showing and selling their works at the festival. Other groups plan to setup booths promoting their organization's sustainability efforts, including the university's Planet Club, who will be selling T-shirts and eco-friendly water bottles. An afternoon session presented by Ozarks Outdoors will cover bike safety, and will include a ride on the local bike trails around Spadra Creek.
If all of the walking around leaves you feeling hungry, festival organizers have included a special treat; there will be free samples of organic and healthy recipes made by Peggy's Pantry, in Lamar. And, of course, food will also be available for purchase from members of the American Legion, who will be cooking at the Legion Hut.
One special activity designed just for kids is an arts and crafts area organized by Terri Thomas, a senior Strategic Communication and Sociology major from Fayetteville, Ark. Thomas said the project is inspired by the movie The Secret Life of Arrietty. "I was supposed to plan a mock kid's party for [Dr. Heather McFarland], and I was like 'what's going on with little kids?' That movie came out, and that movie is all about recycling, all about borrowing - pins and needles and sugar cubes - never stealing of course! So I decided in the kids section that I would try and create Arrietty's world."
The kids arts and crafts area will consist of six or seven tables where kids can make their own tie-dye T-shirt, or create a craft project using natural materials (such as pine cones or acorns), or using materials that are often just discarded (such as the cardboard from a paper towel roll, or the plastic six-pack drink holders). Thomas said anyone who would like to donate craft items may contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
At 1 pm Saturday afternoon, the first band set will open on Legion Stage. Throughout the afternoon and evening, festival goers will have a chance to hear a number of different bands take the stage, including Swimming, a surf rock/indie band from Fayetteville; Shawn Mavrides, soulful acoustic soloist; Matt Stevens; Effron White, whose music is influenced by performers such as Bob Dylan, John Prine, and Guy Clark; Mitchell and Emery, an acoustic folk duo; and a local favorite, the Mountain Boomers, an old-time string band from Johnson and Pope Counties. "One of the coolest things is that all the electricity for the bands and everything will be done through the Solar Power Company in Little Rock," said McFarland. "They're bringing in everything, so it will be fully sustainable."
While the booths will close down around 4 pm Saturday afternoon, the bands will continue to play until about 10 pm, McFarland said. "Bring the bug spray because it is down on the creek!" she cautioned.
The festival was organized by The Spring Greening Festival Committee, along with University of the Ozarks, Ozarks Outdoors, Clarksville-Johnson Co. Region Chamber of Commerce, The Downtown Association, The Johnson County Public Library, and The American Legion Bunch-Walton Post #22. The committee is still looking for volunteers to help with various booths and events, so individuals who would like to help out should contact Lauren Ray at firstname.lastname@example.com. So far the response from the community has been tremendous, McFarland said. "I've never been so proud of a community as I am of Clarksville," she said. "We believe in our neighbors, but sometimes we forget we have them too, because we get bogged down. So this is a great chance to say 'Let's just have some fun!'"
This year's festival promises to be everything the organizers hoped for when they started the planning process, possibly even more. For families, the festival will offer a chance to spend the day together out on the creek doing any number of fun activities together. For Ozarks' students, and especially the graduating seniors, the festival is a great way to spend some time with friends before school is out. "It's one of those last legacy types of things," McFarland said. "This is one of the easiest ways to get a free concert, a day of sunshine, and some good food! You can walk down, enjoy it - you can even bring your studying down there. Festivals are something we don't get to see very often when school is in, and this is one of those festivals that has so many things to take part in! If I were a student, I would be like 'wow, all I have to do is walk down here, and it's all there for me?'"

The bride and I took our ARs to the public outdoor range north of Charleston, SC on New Years Day. There were a number of folks firing and we all engaged in a lot of friendly banter. they were tickled by our "his and hers" ARs. My Christmas present was a big hit - the 3X magnifier for my EOTech. Everyone that fired it was impressed with the magnification. We were shooting at everything from paper targets to propped up clay pigeons, to golf balls (they will really jump when you hit 'em.)
The folks next to us invited me to fire their Arsenal AK. I had never fired an AK but I now want one. Young guy even got my wife to try and she couldn't believe how little recoil it had. I'll have to begin researching AKs as I believe I have her tacit buy-in...... He also got me to fire a big ole' Ruger Red Hawk .44. Three shots was enough for my old arthritic hands.
All in all it was a fun outing and we got home in time to cook our good luck meal of blackeyed peas and collard greens with ham hocks and corn bread.
Happy New Year to all!

Night owls more likely to be anti-social
06 September 2013 , 3:41 PM by Rob Minshull
Do you see yourself as a bit of a night owl? Do you prefer to stay up late rather than wake up early?
According to a recent study, people who stay up late at night are more likely to display anti-social personality traits such as narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathic tendencies.
One of the people behind the research is Dr Peter Jonason from the University of Western Sydney.
You can read Dr Jonason's research paper by clicking here.

SnakeThorn, longtimenosee. BTW, Fantastic! can't wait to see this completely complete. Quite frankly I thought it was complete 5 posts ago. Keep at it.
Hi Graphix :]glad you like it . its actually finished cos last bit is just clear coat witch is not going to change a look of it ,and am gonna hold on with it for a bit coz i need to correct some part , and for now I'm starting new project EE-3 blaster http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...-scratch-build :]]]]
so i'm hoppin from cardboard-bucket threads, and my self-esteem is gettin destroyed. you seriously are talented man. hopefully my second one will look similar to this, as my first and current one is utter trash haha
Wow, I hope when mine is done it can look 1/2 as good. I started mine a year ago and just can't find time to work on it.
hallo , guys thanks for kind words , I'm so f***** happy that it turn up OK :]
i have recently met the man himself , i was supposed to have my bucket sign ,but it did not happened , next time . J.B he is cool :]
You worked so fast I nearly fell over!!!
I have to say, your finished bucket looks incredible, bravo!!!
The helmet looks great. I am new to making costumes hopefully I can find a kit
Sweet! Looks pretty sick. Can't wait till I get to the painting stage.
SnakeThorn, that is a fantastic helmet, I hope mine comes out half as good! I had a quick question, did you use bondo for the top of the helmet? If so how did you do the dent? My concern would be cracking the bondo and after the hours spend sanding I could not bring myself to it, yet. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
WOW Im speechless, you are one talented dude
Just seen the photo of you and Mr Fett himself on FB.
Total KUDOS on a superb build
Brilliant build - if mine turns out half as good as this I'll be happy!
Mate your helmet looks amazing.....I'd never really been that interested in making cardboard version but after seeing yours I can't wait to get started!
Amazing work, keep the fight.......congratulations

Doing it the old-fashioned way!
If you use the .060 stock, you don't have to dink around with axis pin dimples or stepped top rails.
Are you going to extend the RSB to the back, or splice together a longer top cover?

Doing it the old-fashioned way!

On placement of the gas block I'd put it in the AMD spot, it's a good compromise for keeping the weight to the rear, and having distance from the chamber to the gas port. I'd shorten the barrel a bit too, you could make it a lot lighter without losing too much performance, just go to around 18", but that's just a personal preference.
Im doing 300 savage because if a factory load was accidentaly fired it will still be a pretty safe pressure for a two lug AK trunion. 308 is over 60,000 psi SAMMI spec were the 300 savage is under 50,000. The 300 savage will do any thing the 308 can in the real world and it is a few grains less on the powder capacity so I can load rounds with maximised powder to case capicity and get good accuracy. I fear that it would be to easy for one of my hot 308 loads to find its way into his gun. the 308 wont chamber in a 300 barrel.Quote:
Why do a .300 savage? You could do a .308 and load light for it at first, then when your son gets a bit bigger he can use the higher power ammo if he wants. Or does the savage round have the same rim size as one of the other rounds you're doing, as that'd make sense then you don't gotta make another bolt.
I will be using a amd length tube but the GB will be custom or a L1A1 that will be adjustable and also shot off the gas completly. but I am going with keeping the barrel weight down and as far back as possable. My son is pretty small so this thing needs to be as light as possable. he will likely be shooting from a stand at 50 yards or less so the barrel can be pretty short. Im not looking for maximum accuracy here just pleanty of knock down power. IMOO the 7.62x39 is just a little to much on the light side and could use a extra 200-300 FPS and the 300 has exactly that or more. I am actuallu considering trying a 14" barrel with a perminate break. He will deffinatly need a break when practicing. I likely will put some lead shot in the stock for practice as well or even use a lead slead. I have untill october to get him up to speed.
Im throwing together a 243 press in barrel build on a AMD 63 with fixed stock with normal saftey and stuff just to get all the bugs worked out of the G3 mag well and feeding ect. Im not sure i will have time to get the really custom gun for him done and it will be heavier as well. I have several really thin profile model 7 remington barrels one is in 260 remington in stainless and is really light.
Ill be reloading 99% of the ammo fired in this gun . since I have the reamers im considering lengthening the neck and throat of the chamber so 7.62x51 brass can be formed with out havinng to trim the necks. factory 300 ammo would still fire but I can use cheaper surpluss brass that is thicker and not have to cut a 1/16" off each case.
yes and no on the old fasion way. yes in that Im using flat sheet metal no in that the gun will have a push button or thumb lever saftey, no mag demples, G3 type mag well, lower rails that will run down the entire reciver and add reinforcement, taperd to tight fit on lock up upper rails. custom sized pin holes that will use custom pins. possably a completly removable trigger group and guard ect. The standard flat would need to amn y mods to make work. better to start from scratch. I might taper the front like a Galil and the rear as well to allow more material around the web of a thumbhole stock.Quote:

the flat pictured is .045 but I have some .060 flats just like it.
I really dont need to move the trunion ahead if I loose the factory type mag latch and go with a G3 type well as the AK latch takes up close to 3/4" that a G3 wont need.
I just made flats long for the hell of it so a can do a traditional mag latch build. G3 mags can be had for under a $1 so welding ligs on thim wont hurt any thing.
as far as t he dust cover I have a few ideas. the RSB can be easly moved back but Im think more of a completly custom RSB that will extend way back and allow a rail to mounted directly on top of it. then cutting almost half the cover off. you can go quite a ways back with a RSB and still get the carrier in. This would end all the BS about trying to get a decent scope mount on a AK. it can be made in aluminum as well and ighten the gun up considerably. on the switch barrel it will ataach to the trunion and stay with the reciver when the barrel is removes so I only need one RSB not 15. i have 90% of it figured out not sure if it will go on his first gun. he may get a super light 243 for opening day instead and that will give me more time and hopefully more money to spend on the switch barrel design and custom touches. I have some really cool ides for the mag release and safety. stay tuned.
Im considering building and selling a G3 mag well that would rivet or bolt in to a standard reciver with light mods possably with 308 length and ejector positon rails as well as possably bent blank reciver shells if there is any interest. maybe even barrels trunion and head spaced bolt combos. Im still thinking about it all. Need to get the gun done first. the 243 im doing will be more traditional but with a few light tweaks.
here is some pics of a 300 savage with a 185 grain rn next to a wolf 308. as you can see the savage gives up very little and at one time was in the top 4 for Elk in the US in the early days. imagine that round with a longer neck and the Savage might even out do the 308 :) some mock ups of a G3 mag well also.
a max load listed in my Win loading gide for the 300 SAV is a 150 grain bullet with 42 GR of 748 powder doing 2600 FPS with only 41,000 CUP. that is a 25 grain heavier bullet going at least 300 FPS faster at just slighty over he bolt thrust of a x39 round. that is a MAX load using WIN componets and likely about identical to a factory load. the 308 FS in the same book makes 250 FPS more BUT at 7,000 CUP more pressure. Im sure if the pressures were rasied in the 300 sav It would only be a about 50-100 FPS slower.
IM MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE 243 IM BUILDING THAT WILL SEND 55 GRAIN VMAX BULLETS DOWN RANGE AT CLOSE TO 4000 fps AND THEN CAN ALSO SHOOT 105 GR A MAX AT AROUND 28,000 FPS. THIS WILL BE A FUN GUN FOR LOTS OF DIFFERANT APPLICATIONS.. PDOGS TO DEER. :) THE BARREL IS DONE FOR A PRESS BUILD.
a 308 can be loaded using 307 Win recipes (they use the same dies) and be reasonably safe IMOO. 307 max loas with a 150 grain bullet will do 2305 FPS with only 34,000 CUP and be well under a x39 bolt hrust and still send a 150 down the pipe at the same speed as a X39.
a good 300 sav kids load is a 110GR bullet doing 3000 FPS ( 700 fps fater than a x39 BTW) and only making 41,000 cup. that will give super flat trajectorys out to 300 yards and 110 grain will still be pleanty on a deer at those speeds, ask any 243 hunter.
These are all Max loads out of a winchester book BTW and likely will need to be started at a reduced load. DONT USE ANY OF THIS INFO LOOK IT UP YOUR SELF. DONT USE ANY LOAD YOU SEE ON THE NET ULESS ITS FROM A POWDER COMPANY OR OTHER REPTUABLE SOURCE.
Making the barrel as short as you might and sticking a brake on it won't reduce weight much, but it will reduce "free" velocity. Though as with everything OTI it is just a suggestion.
ETA: looking at my picture again it seems the counterbore/welded on brake would also reduce possible crown damage.
I considerd doing a magna port style brake, I have a dozen AMD brakes just figured Id use them. there heavy but they work well and look decent I was going to add a insert t.
The 30 cal Kreiger barrel I have that is stainless and fluted has a very nice small OD break installed on it. Im saving that barrel for the perfect build.
I have a tool that I designed that allows me to easly index the groves so I would not have to counter bore but i have the reamer if i need to. The kid is pretty small so I was thinking the short barrel would help him keep from dragging it on the ground.
I can do a barrel really cheap since i have the reamer in 300SAV so making a bigger one down the road is not a biggie. On the screw build they will change out in about 2 minutes.
I was entertaining the idea of aluminum for a break. seems like I have seen them used on some thing. Im not looking for long life here. I hoping for one shot from a tree stand LOL going light adds recoil so its a big balancing act for a 9 year old. I will have a 22-250 barrel ready if recoil is to much as well as a 243 and 260 barrel im sure something will work.
I was looking at long eye reliefs scopes for it last weekend the Nikon omega is really nice and has 5" of relieaf its made for a black powder rifle 3x9 I think not cheap but not stupid prices. Im thinking of spring loaded stocks or possably a air spring in a tube. recoil is going to be a big issue for him I already know it. Ill have him shooting super light 30-06 loads ( 6 graind red dot) this weekend.
Im not to concened about velocity loss to much as this will be designed for a 50 yard shot and even with a 14" barrel it will out do a x39 with a 18' barrel.
There are some really cool carbon fiber tension barrel out there that are really light but there way to much money for this project.
Its all up in the air at this point.
thats just for the pistol LOL OOPs.Quote:
18 foot barrel, even if it's a typo it's still good.
the 243 I profiled last night is 18" and the same profile as a AMDS 63 but longer.
I likley throw a short stock on my 223 18 pound varmint build its deadly accurate and the big scope and light trigger will get his confidence up. I sarted out with a 30-06 with no pad when I was 12 and it used to beat the crap out of me. scope cut my eye damm near every time I shot a buck. Im going big on the port so light loads will cycle as well as being able to shut it off for the super light 6GR reddot bunny busters. I love shooting those things. I plan on having him shoot one shot at a time to get him used to loading it. He can barely pull the action open so a big round charging handel might help. Hes not very big but he is really smart so he will figure it out. he shoots the 22lr pretty well.
im setting up the screw barrel with no bullet guide so I can also use x39 length rounds with a spacer for the mags and a differant bolt. I have a 17-223 reamer and a couple barrels that will make a fun kids round and it shoots 4000+ fps so you just put the + on the target and fire out to 300 yards and get hits.
I can dial the 243 down a lot with 55 grain bullets and lighter loads. there are some pretty good youth loads on the hodgen website using slow powders. I dont shoot under 55 grain even with my 223. i suspose a 22-250 dialed down with 40 grainers would be even lighter. I cant wait until hes old enough to take praire dog hunting were he shoot a 1000 rounds :)
1Biggun, if you're putting a muzzle brake on your sons barrel to bring it up to 16", consider making a Levang type comp. They work pretty well to direct the muzzle blast down range on my 223 coyote gun. For a youngster it would be nice not to have all the muzzle blast frpm that short of a barrel which can make some people start flinching. I also don't think a custom levang style brake would be that hard to make either.
good info on light hunting loads here

The magic of the FA Cup is what we're told. Does it exist? Well, the result yesterday certainly added to the magic FA Cup kettle.
But I must say, was it really magic or was it a team that mentally refused to give up? OR a team that still has difficulties with set-pieces and crosses into the box? It's probably a bit of all of those and there is nothing wrong with that. The result is what matters.
Look, the reason I write this blog is to communicate my emotions, how I feel, not to dive into the possession details, tackles won, etc. So, with that said, was I boiling when we went 2-0 down just before half time? Yes! I had left a couple minutes early to walk to one of our coffee shops beforehand, listening to the match on my phone when they screamed "another goal at the Emirates!"
Surely it was for us! But yet again, we were countered. It happens. When you press like we do, you're going to open yourself up to a wider field to defend. And sometimes we'll pay. We did. Obviously.
When I returned home for the second half I couldn't have been more proud to be a Gooner. (But yes, I had to place all my kits back in the dresser as I was about to have a bonfire in the backyard.) We pressured, we played forward, we were Arsenal. As we all know, when you press, make the other team think, and play out of the comfort zone, good things will happen.
And boy did they. Two penalties and a wonder goal by Theo. Kidding about the Theo goal, but I will say that the aggressiveness of his play was rewarded. All three goals were the result of aggressive, forward play.
Is there an argument that it was two games within a game? Sure. But sometime that argument makes no sense at all. We played 90 minutes of football on Sunday - some of those minutes we love seeing at Arsenal, and others we'd rather not see again.
It was Arsenal. It was somewhat magical.
On this week's Arsenal America Podcast we'll have Duncan Castles, writer for The Sunday Times, The National and blogger 7amKickoff. Next week's podcast will have Matt Law from The Daily Express and Misha Sher, formerly of SoccerEx, now at Rangers. You can find it in the usual places on Thursday evening.

32 Roadster (I want to change up suspension)
Hello all!!
Last year I bought a 32' roadster. As it sits I would call it a "rat rod" style I guess.
Anyway, since I bought it I have been busy training for Ironman Triathlons and have not had time to 'play'.
The car has some issues that I want to attack and not being familure with these cars I am not real sure how to go about it.
As it sits it has a create 350 Chevy motor (maybe 260hp), which I will be removing and building. Before I start that though I have some issues with the steering and the suspension.
I do not like the front suspension and would like to upgrade it. They way they have it set up (as seen in pic), it is well in front of the radiator. I have not seen this before, but actually kind of like it. The only thing is I wonder if there is a way to install a IFS in that location? Or, what would be a better option that would be better that what is on there now.
I am not real versed on the terminology on any of this, so forgive my ignorance.
I will get to the steering issues after I resolve my front suspension setup.
I home by the photo maybe some of you can see what I have and maybe give some suggestions! I am out of country right now, but will be able to take better photos as soon as I get back if needed!
Thanks for any tips, advise, or whatever
Roadster chassis
From the picts It appears what you have is a T Bucket style chassis, front axle and tie rod out in front. It looks like your body is channeled over the frame. A stock style 32 frame is wider than the T bucket frame and Contoured to match the bottom of the body and floor, and most 32's sit on top of the frame, Highboy Style. The next question is "what is the rear suspension design, does it work right,? Depending on the front frame rail spacing, and contour, you might be able to graft on a IFS kit, , relocate the grill radiator to get the look you want. My 31 Nash roadster project. I still need to fabricate the doors, then start on the chassis, I have a Jag Xj6 IRS for the rear and a Jag F 40 pieces that I will custom fabricate a new crosmember for the front IFS , Make the frame to match and channel the Body, Just my preference, From the Cars I always had to look at when I was a kid, Dudley's Deuce Coupe , chopped, Channeled, Full fenders and running boards, My sister-in-laws father repaired it in 33 after a roll over, chopped the top, etc. a couple of chopped and channeled A coups, A chopped and channeled full fendered 34 pickup. And of course we had to channel the 31 chrysler roadster we built in highschool. My 32 ford glass roadster will go Highboy on repo frame rails, just cause channeling a Glass body is too much hassle for me.
Ah, I bet you are right! I notice now looking at other 32's that the frame shows along the sides, and it doent on mine.
I acutally likes the way it looks (something different), and maybe that is why!?!
Thanks for the reply!! Gave me something else to look into!
Realistically you aren't going to put IFS on that car unless you move the wheels back. The front suspension it now has is a dropped tube axle with a transverse leaf spring set up "suicide" style out in front of the frame. As said, it's a common T bucket style front not usually found (though some do) on later cars. There are plenty model A's out there with it but when you get up to 32 you usually don't see it.
What are your issues with the front? You mentioned you like the look (it is a neat little car) The tie rod out front is usually a no no being that it messes with an important steering principle, the Akerman or steering angle. But in your case it looks like it has steering arms on the spindles that are tucking the tie rod end way out into the wheel area that either is giving you that Akerman angle or close to it so that should be fine or good enough.
What is the problem you need to address with it?
I am glad I decided to post here, learning a lot!
One of my issues was I could not figure out what I had as I could not find anything like it on the web, and have never seen a front end like it. Now I know why
I rides a tad bit rough, so I was thinking maybe I could swap stuff out and maybe get a little smoother of a ride.
I have an issue with my steering, but I dont have a photo of that side of the car, so it would be hard for me to explain as I dont know what everything is called, but I will give it a shot.
I have a lot of slack in my steering. I figure it is the 'gear box??' that it goes into that is mounted to the frame on the outside of the firewall must be worn. then it has the rod that attaches to the side of the gearbox (sorry dont know the right name for it), and goes to a bracket that is attached to the inside of the drivers wheel to control the steering. When I turn to the right, my tire hits this rod. I think I should be able to have another bracket made that extends and inch or two closer to the inside of the car which will give more clearance for the wheel to turn (only need and inch or two). Not sure if this will put it in a bind on the other end though.
Not sure if that makes any kind of sense without me having photos, so if not, I will post again about that issue when I can get photos.
Again, yall have helped me a ton just letting me know what I have!!!
That rod is called the drag link..the contact that you are getting is altered by the bump or travel stops that do not allow the tire to move to the extent that they contact the drag link..maybe a bit different offset in the wheels may help with that..Loose steering can be corrected by either adjusting the steering box play and/or new rod ends on the drag link and tie rod..Then a bit of testing and checking to correct for bump steer and you are home and it is all good..hey we have guys going over 200 with front ends like that and all it takes is some tuning and repair to what you already have..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Man!!!! Some skinnys up front would set that thing off!!!!! That is a traditional street rod set up old skool!!!! I love it!!!! Can you get a pic of the steering rod angle from the pitman arm to the steering arm?

I wish I could get a photo of it for you, but I wont be back in country until March 11th . I may be able to talk my wife into it sometime this week.
I agree by having a smaller wheel width or different wheel offset, I could solve the issue of the wheel hitting the 'drag link' (thanks for the term), but I didnt know how hard it will be to find those wheels (I will check).
I have a couple more pics on my computer I will try to load.
32 builds
Most 32 are built almost all alike, reproduction frame rails, notched in the rear for axle clearance,Move the rear axle back one inch, front frame notched for spring clearance, . front crosmember reformed to lower the front a couple more inches and a dropped front axle, My son says they are all 1 -800 cars, call one of the chassis builders, give them your credit card number. decide what front axle, I beam or tubular, what size brakes and wheels. If you are running a small block Ford have them move the front crosmsmber 2 inches farther foreward, ( don't forget if you do, order the hood 2 inches longer) steel or glass body,
I like the stance of your roadster , from the back it looks right to me. Most people seem to think that they should only have a dropped front axle near the original location on the frame. . I like what K & K custom crosmembers in Austraila -New zeland builds for an IFS using the Jag xj parts. check them out.
It does look like from these last photos that the drag link (the bar from the pitman arm on the steering box to the spindle) is at an awful steep angle. That bar should be level or matching the angle of the bars that are locating the front axle so they all have the same arch. If they don't when the axle goes up and down the distance between the to changes right? If the difference changes being the bar that is locating the front axle isn't going to change, the drag link effectively gets "longer and shorter" thru the arch and it turns your wheels.
With the little travel most cars like this have it "can" work and you hardly notice it, or it can be very troublesome it's hard to tell from this one photo if this is an issue with yours.
I do know one thing, your car is pretty unique all the way around. I like it personally, I think it is pretty imaginative and damn interesting. It is NOT your typical 32 roadster that pretty much follow a certain "rule book" and will often look very similar one from another at a show. That one is damn unique and damn interesting. I love them all understand, I am certainly not saying the others are boring or anything like that. But building a unique 32 Ford Roadster isn't easy, it has all been done before. If one like yours has been done, I haven't seen it, I dig it.
There is no need to change the whole front end if there is a problem with it, correct that problem and take off down the road with a smile on your face.
Thanks Brad! Good info! I also agree about the looks of the car being different which is why I was attracted to it in the first place. I drove over 1000 miles to pick it up.
I for sure do not want to change the overall look and feel of the car, I just want to make it function a little better and knock some of the rough edges off of it.
I hope to be able to have time to do some work on it when I get back home and I think I am going to start with the steering! I would like to replace the entire steering column, the steering box, and correct this drag link incline that you pointed out.
It actually drives pretty strait, just has a ton of slack in the wheel. I am going to change the steer column out just because it is a cheap one (I think), and I know they make better.
Because of all the tips here, I think I am not going to mess with the front end as planned "if it aint broke".
Some things I am going to do (just as sidetrack chit chat):
My good friend is a fiberglass master, so we are going to help the body out (not a bad quality kit, just not the best), then repaint (same flat black)
I am going to put a supercharged motor, or one with maybe a Weber 6 pack or something (mainly for looks over the power).
There is a fuel cell in the trunk, I am going to maybe change it out for one of those round tanks that people mount on the outside (but mine will be in the trunk area out of sight), but I have to research this more.
And as said, change out the steering and now maybe some thinner wheel for front.
I think getting rid of T bucket style headers would be a plus and cross draft Webers would look seriously "correct" in that car I think.
A Duval style windshield would also fit well in my opinion. But that is all a bunch of changes, it's cool the way it is, have fun.
Funny you said that about the headers as I almost put that on the little list I just made, but I am really not sure exactly how I want to do the exhaust right now, so I just have not really thought much on it (be one of the last things I do).
I will look into that windshield! I think those are the slip brass looking ones? I will google!
Thanks for all the replies!!
Brian it looked like a steep angle to me too! I would check caster and camber too! Does it go in a straight line when you let go of the wheel Price? While its moving of course LOL!
Actually it does drive very strait (I was shocked). I have only driven it two times in the 8 months I have had her (no time).
I checked out the Duville windshield...I think I like it! The one I found was 1600$ and had no glass (weird). Guess I will have to take it and get glass put in it.
I am now rethinking my exhaust......

Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Where and When
Time: 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: The Presser Room MMMC001
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Event Information
The Ralph Alessi Baida Quartet is a band led by San Francisco-born
trumpeter/composer Ralph Alessi. An incredibly dynamic ensemble described by The
New York Times as "unstoppably inventive," the band will be releasing a new record
(titled Baida) on the ECM Record Label. The Baida Quartet was first heard as a unit on
Alessi's 2002 CD This Against That, an album that made JazzTimes magazine's Top 10
for the year. Alessi cut his teeth in the classical realm, learning from his classical
musician father and performing with the San Francisco Symphony. Now a celebrated
performer, composer and bandleader on the New York jazz scene, he has led 7 albums
(including the recent duo release with pianist Fred Hersch) and performed extensively
with Ravi Coltrane, Uri Caine, Don Byron and Steve Coleman. Pianist Gary Versace
has quickly become one of the busiest and most versatile musicians on the New York
Scene often featured in bands led by Johh Scofield, John Hollenbeck, Ingrid Jensen
and Maria Schneider. In 1999 Versace appeared on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz
show on NPR. Mcpartland has called Versace "...endlessly inventive" and …"an
extraordinary talent". Bassist Drew Gress is a virtuoso and one of New York's most
accomplished improvisors, leading a number of bands and lending his talents to
boundary-breaking artists including Tim Berne, John Abercrombie, Steve Lehman and

Wayne Law students attend Law Student Division State Bar Annual Meeting
PHOTO RELEASE (Sept. 29, 2010) – Members of the Wayne Law Student Board of Governors (SBG) Executive Board, along with representatives of the Wayne Law ABA Student Division and Dicta, headed to Lansing Sept. 24 to attend the annual Law Student Division State Bar Annual Meeting. They were given a tour of the Michigan Supreme Court and visited with Justice Michael F. Cavanagh, who showed the students around his office and meeting rooms. The students also met with representatives from the other schools in the Michigan State Bar to discuss goals and events at a roundtable meeting later that night.
"We had a great time and look forward to increasing the presence of the State Bar at Wayne Law through our representatives hosting table time and appearing at school functions," said SBG President Aisa Villarosa. "Increasing visibility will key students in on the opportunities and rewards of State Bar membership, including access to networking events, scholarships and writing/oral argument competitions."

University of St. Thomas alumni are educating leaders of faith and character in Catholic schools across the Houston. Eight UST graduates work at Cristo Rey Jesuit College Preparatory School of Houston as teachers and administrators, leading high school students in a variety of areas and guiding them to pursue higher education.
Justin Aquila '10 said his experience at UST was instrumental in developing his desire to teach.
"The theological formation at UST is first-rate and I enjoy passing the fruits of my education onto my students here at Cristo Rey Jesuit," Aquila said.
Cristo Rey Jesuit, a Catholic high school, advocates personal responsibility through academics and work-study for students of all faiths from financially-challenged families. Susan Martin, director of Communications and Public Relations at Cristo Rey Jesuit, has been with the school from its start as a volunteer program to a school in newly-renovated facilities.
"Cristo Rey Jesuit offers an out-of-the-box alternative for students from economically-disadvantaged families who want a college-prep education but can't afford one," Martin said. "The school's rigorous curriculum combined with the corporate work-study program will get the students in to college while allowing them to pay for close to 70 percent of the cost of their high school education."
Every student is required to work one day a week at entry-level jobs with approved corporations across Houston, including UST. Martin said students are learning what it takes to be successful in a professional environment.
"They are able to re-envision their futures by setting their goals higher than they ever imagined," Martin said. "It has been amazing to watch this transformation."
UST alumni share stories and fond memories of St. Thomas with their students and urge them to strive for success. Ivan Earls '13 treasures his education and said it was integral in helping him choose his career.
"My time at St. Thomas helped give me the experience and tools to be a successful teacher," Earls said. "I remember seeing the passion of my professors and feeling inspired to become an educator myself."
The St. Thomas alumni working at Cristo Rey Jesuit are examples for students to succeed. The alumni working at Cristo Rey Jesuit are:
