CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[MindfulMan]

I just do not get all deep snuggly attached to them save for a few. They are projects to me. Once done and running, and my friends have all ran them its OK to let them go. I miss the .308's as I don't have any serious car killers in the safe anymore.

The pieces I was never going to let go were taken from me by a sneaky POS 1st "X" never ever to be forgiven.

Well, she is deceased now but I still hate her for that move.

Maybe you need a 50BMG rifle ..... it's hard to get tired of those !

Someone needs to buy this. Solid deal.

I pmd him.

I’ll take it. When should I pick it up?

For real?

Speaking of big caliber stuff, while loading up some ammo for one of them today I was looking at a project to mount an old Zeiss ZF4 like the one on my broomhandle rifle on the gun that eats this stuff. Can't find rings and have been asking around if anybody makes them or modifies rings to fit.

What ammo is that?

 

[Leadeye]

The ZF4 is a wonderful scope, great glass,, inexpensive and solidly built, however it's from Karl Ulbrich's era of east germany so it doesn't fit anything today.

 

[Leadeye]

What ammo is that?

458 Winchester, 500 grain cast lead.

Nope.
To hard to find a place to run it and them you have to feed it.....

LE in the house.

Dang!

I'd agree with the first part, but heck, the cartridges are about the same cost as 9 mm self-defense rounds these days !

Well said.

50 bmg for 9mm prices, you have my attention.

That's one hell of a squirrel gun.

 

[Leadeye]

Mouse I've seen some of Allen's work on sight mounts, think he could make scope rings?

 

[T-DOGG]

50bmg for $3 per round.

Man that is some very specific work. He does have a multi axis's set up on his mill now (was just X/Y axis) but this is a tough one. I could ask him.

Back in the 80s people were feeding the M2s at about .90 per round, blowing through a 96 round can. The MG-42 was still the tops as a $/minute gun though. I don't think unless people are firing flak cannons it will ever be eclipsed, like Lamar Odum in a high end Vegas club.
