Come on man! lol .. We are still hardwired to use logic and to avoid suffering whether we like it or not.Nihilism.
Good thread meketrefe!
Firearms and all aspects thereof, classic cars, the universe and space, prepping and survival, basically anything that doesn't bore the crap out of me(facebook, pop culture, garbage television, etc.)
The best way might be to build a rifle kit so it meets all the requirements for a rifle like any other rifle.I want to make a .50 BMG "cannon". I wondered about a falling breech, auto eject like an artillery piece, built on an M2 barrel. I don't know that it could even be done, and furthermore, since we live in NY, if it would be fun it has got to be illegal.
Just something I have always wanted to do. Think of a downsized German 88. That kind of thing.The best way might be to build a rifle kit so it meets all the requirements for a rifle like any other rifle.
Is there a specific goal in mind with it like accuracy wise or just to burn powder?
I am asking because there are a hand of very powerful super magnum cartriges that can use magnum actions that will cost a fraction
of the 50 caliber and will shoot better and further. Not as much power at the average ranges but not too far behind.
Also would like to hear input from our resident reloaders and armchair ballisticians on the ultimate hypothetical 6mm 5.56/7.62 replacement. A topic that has been dabbled in both here and the other place but not fully explored.
Ah, yes but I wonder about that. I say that modern powders, projectiles and metallurgy it may be possible once one accepts that there must be compromise involved. I take the 6mm Lee Navy as my inspiration, it had much potential but the tech of the day left it unrealized.you mean a potential replacement for the current 5.56 service round? I don't think there is one round that can replace both the 5.56 and 308 but I can
think of a number of rounds that can replace each of them very easily. In fact the military will only have to replace the barrels.

Maple syrup
This really was a passion of mine ever since I got out of the military. We currently have around 900 taps on a modern vacuum system. We have a reverse osmosis and a 30" x 8' evaporator and made around 350 gallons last year. I seem to do work on the operation every weekend. I love it but with the young family and starting out my new career I find myself not have having the time and enjoying it like I use to. So the current goal of the operation is to become more efficient. We want to be able to make a 1/2 gallon a tap easily then we will look into expanding again.
Yeah, I don't mean that kind of thing. I want like a miniaturized German 88 that takes .50 BMG. Definitely not a shoulder fired weapon. More of a novelty.Not sure how to get one, but back when I lived in GA in the town next to me were 3 folks who made a company out of doing 50 BMG's to be based on an AR. They ended up selling the company to Cerebus, who also owns Remington and some others. Google something called the Cobb 50. Skip and Buzz used to sell those things for like $2,500 or so. I'm not sure you can make anything wonderful for less than that. I went with the Barrett M99 for $3K with Pelican and scope. Not in love with it. Thing weighs a shit ton, ammo weighs a shit ton (lifting a 150 round can will break your arm), recoil is serious, it will shake things off the wall at any homes within 500 yards of the thing, and I think ammo is extremely expensive now. And my fear is your round skips off a rock on the way into the ground and goes another 5 miles down the road and kills someone. Those rounds will travel a LONG ways.
I could talk to forever on what to do. Realistically it's up to you for that many taps if the land lays right tubing is great. If it's really steep there's a new innovation with smaller tubing that creates a natural vacuum. Cool physics theory and application actually. But the sap collection for that size is the easy part. The hard part is evaporating it. If you use a turkey fryer with propane you will use more propane than the syrup is worth. For that size you have to use wood. There are many home made rigs that work and there are hobby sized professional rigs. We used one of those when we started, but they have come a long way in the past 4 years. If your interested in more mane PM me and maybe I can make it your way or you my way. Our operation is in morrisville so not too far from you.The farm I bought in NY must have had maple syrup running. About 20 or 30 sugar maples out in the back forty have these blue hoses hanging out of them. Anything I need to do?

I'm interested to know if Heather Locklear is a liker of guns...
I'm interested to know if so, if she'd like my "GUN"...
I could apply the same thought to Jolie who's back on the market now
Other than that... I don't know, I'm interested in knowing why although I put my sight, right on target, my rounds impacts somewhere else? I'm interested to know why if I drive 60mph for an hour, I don't travel 60 miles. I'm interested to know if eggs really can be made to stand on edge during the Equinox... I'm interested to know if toilets really flush backwards south of the equator. I'm interested to know who would really want to survive a Zombie Apocalypse
