Boring out cylinders today!

Lee Woody, Engineering Team Lead at Daniel Defense, details the cold hammer forging (CHF) process for rifle barrels. This expert-guided explanation covers the preparation of barrel blanks, the simultaneous forming of chamber and rifling through hammer forging, and the final precision turning. The CHF method creates a durable bore and chamber due to compressive stresses, ensuring consistency in high-volume production.

This entry details the unique XR-86 custom rifle, a 1986 build by Wilfred Ellis. It masterfully combines components from an M60 (flash hider), an M14 (gas system), and an AR-15 (trigger, bolt, locking system). The AR-15 trigger is notably rotated 90 degrees, and its bolt is integrated with the M14 gas system, showcasing advanced gunsmithing.

This video showcases the X-PRT90, a three-position FRT specifically designed for the FN P90 platform. Unlike 3D printed alternatives, the X-PRT90 features robust construction with all-metal components, including stainless steel and aluminum parts. The installation process is aided by an included jig, allowing for integration into the factory P90 trigger group. The speaker emphasizes the durability and quality of the metal construction over plastic alternatives.

This video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to build a Sig P365 X Macro chassis system, incorporating the Radian Afterburner + Ramjet barrel and compensator. The instruction, delivered with clear expertise, covers the disassembly of the original slide, installation of the new barrel assembly, and integration with the chassis and a folding stock. The presenter demonstrates efficient techniques for modular firearm upgrades.

This video presents a challenge from Forgotten Weapons, where the expert instructor is unable to disassemble a Madsen 1945 pistol. He outlines common disassembly methods for other firearms like the Colt 1903 and Ruby pistols, noting the Madsen's barrel knurling suggests a rotational release. However, the only visible mechanism, a spring plunger, only locks the slide partially open, leaving the full disassembly process a mystery.

This guide details the installation and operation of the X-PRT90 progressive trigger system for the FN PS90 SBR. The X-PRT90 offers a unique third position that allows for a faster rate of fire by pushing through the trigger pull, effectively creating a legal 'forced reset' malfunction. The video also touches on CMMG barrel modifications and the PS90's unique bottom ejection.

This video demonstrates the process of loading machine gun ammunition belts using a vintage WWII .50 caliber linking machine. Dragonman showcases the mechanical operation of the device, emphasizing the manual steps involved in aligning cartridges and links. The content highlights the scale of ammunition preparation for large shooting events and the historical significance of the equipment used.

Dragonman's showcases a massive new firearm and ammunition delivery, highlighting a wide range of calibers and popular handgun models like the Canik, Ruger 57, FN 509, Glock 19X, and S&W M&P Shield EZ. The store also features AR-style rifles, including Ruger AR-556 and S&W M&P 15, alongside a bullpup shotgun. Legal switchblades are presented as an alternative for those unable to pass background checks. New optics like Sig Sauer Romeo 3 and EOTech sights are also in stock.

Dragonman provides an in-depth tour of his unique home, showcasing an extensive collection of firearms, memorabilia, and vintage vehicles. He emphasizes his home defense strategy, featuring readily accessible firearms like M16s and shotguns, and argues against gun safes for immediate access. The video also highlights his massive collection of over 10,000 rounds of ammunition and promotes an upcoming machine gun shoot event.

Dragonman demonstrates the process of building and legally registering machine guns, emphasizing compliance with ATF regulations. The video showcases live-fire testing of various full-auto conversions, including M16 and AK-47 variants, and culminates in a .50 caliber M2 Browning test. Restrictions on sales to out-of-state residents are also clarified.
