Mark Serbu demonstrates an unconventional but effective method for removing a stubborn lug from an RN50 firearm. By utilizing impact loading with a firearm and 7.62x39mm ammunition, he successfully dislodged the part after conventional methods failed. This technique highlights the principle that forceful impact is a powerful way to break free seized components, a concept applicable in engineering and gunsmithing.

Mark Serbu, a gun designer, shares a collection of recent personal and professional updates. He discusses YouTube's monetization review, a camping trip with a unique turkey incident, preparing a rifle for a customer, family moments including teaching his granddaughter firearm safety basics, and upcoming modifications to the BFG50A. He also touches on testing firearms like the RN50 and Barrett, and his personal experiences skiing in Park City, Utah.

Mark Serbu demonstrates the process of designing and fabricating sheet metal dies to stamp firearm components, inspired by the WWII-era Sturmgever. He details the challenges of die creation, including machining and heat treatment, and showcases the successful stamping of a component using a 200-ton hydraulic press. The video highlights the potential for efficient manufacturing through stamping compared to traditional CNC machining of aluminum.

This video details the process of repairing and test-firing Mark Serbu's RN50 heavy barrels after a parkerizing issue. The process involved disassembling the firearms, removing the barrels, sandblasting, re-parkerizing, reassembling, and then test-firing the repaired components. The test firing included a high-speed camera examination of a 50 caliber round impacting an old fan.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a 50 caliber full metal jacket round fired from an RN50 against 70 stacked Otter phone cases. The experiment demonstrates that even a substantial number of phone cases are insufficient to stop a high-powered rifle round at close range, with the bullet and jacket passing through the majority of the stack. The instructor emphasizes the dangers of close-range shooting and advises against attempting such tests.

This video showcases the RN50, a .50 BMG rifle designed by Royal Nonesuch. The rifle features an 18-inch barrel, a folding stock, and a brake action with a breach cap for reloading. It's described as a lot of fun to shoot, with a significant recoil that 'blows your hair back'. The design prioritizes simplicity and affordability.
