Guys, I just got this email, from a domain registration company (they say):

"Dear CEO,

(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent, Thanks)

We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in Shanghai, China.
We received an application from Huayi Ltd on July 13, 2015. They want to register " stalwartarms " as their Internet Keyword and " stalwartarms .cn "、" stalwartarms .com.cn " 、" stalwartarms .net.cn "、" stalwartarms .org.cn " 、" stalwartarms .asia " domain names etc.., they are in China and Asia domain names. But after checking it, we find " stalwartarms " conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?

Best Regards, ..."

What should I do?

Ignore them, they are name squatters. They want any single word or double domain name to auction off.

These folks are the scum of the earth, only spammers are worse. They are wasting valuable air that could be powering our guns.

Private registration is worth just about nothing, since the actual owner has to be supplied to ICANN by your registrar. It just keeps you out of WHOIS, nothing more. So they can still get the contact info, just takes more work for them. Mind you most will not bother.

I think you just succinctly stated the bottom line here...

Now, where were we?

LOL... just got this from jiang_zhihai86@vip.163.com :

"Dear Sirs,

Our company based in chinese office, our company has submitted the " stalwartarms " as CN/ASIA(.asia/.cn/.com.cn/.net.cn/.org.cn) domain name and Internet Keyword, we are waiting for Mr. Jim's approval. We think this name is very important for our products in Chinese and Asia market. Even though Mr. Jim advises us to change another name, we will persist in this name.

Best regards

Jiang zhihai "

It went straight to my spam folder.

As I don't see SA ever becoming an exporter to Asia, I may have some fun with this. What do you think? Should I offer to leave my legal dept out of this for, say, $10,000?

It's always something, isn't it? There is something familiar about that domain "163.com"...

BTW... I am currently looking for a "legal dept."

Anyone bored enough to become said dept.?

stalwart · « **Reply #1144 on:** July 21, 2015, 07:45:18 PM »

I'm about to order materials, and would appreciate some oversight.

I'm getting 1144 steel for the caps and piston guide, and 01 tool steel rod for the piston rods.

Am I correct in assuming that a high polish on the rod will give the most consistent lock times? The cost of this stuff is chump change compared to the time it would take to polish lesser stuff.

Also, will making a well fitted (and relieved for flow) guide for this be worth the time, given that goal?

stalwart · « **Reply #1145 on:** July 23, 2015, 03:25:34 AM »

I guess I'll just try it, and find out.

Getting 2" of GRS stroke out of the Fusion will require some effort, but 1.75" is easy. The stock is the limiting factor. The Slayer mag has postponed any 1" experiments for now. I'm going to build the gun I want... without having to consider how I'm going to make it efficient to dupe.

I asked about pump action set ups a while back... got crickets. The only one I'm aware of is the Hatsan, so I looked into 2 designs experience has shown me only get sweeter with age: the Mossberg 500, and the Remington 7600. The Fusion stock is quite thick around the receiver, there's room to play. If I can't figure something out, soon, I'll go with a separate lever.

My new friends from China did what was predicted here... saying that if I don't register with them, the name will be used throughout Asia. Scroom.

I'm making a list. So far, I'll need ninjas and lawyers... anything else?

This place teaches me so many things having nothing to do with shooting... gotta love that. In fact, it was a thread on vaping, here, that convinced me to try it almost a year ago. It's so nice being free of tobacco! 11 months, and counting.

Reply with this.........

I can't thank you enough. With all of Asia using my name I can expect to see 99 out of 100 looking for Stalwart arrive at my .com first. Some will be smart enough to try the .net .org .tv etc. but most will not. Again thank you, this type is visibility is invaluable to me.

Sincerely,

LOL.... Cut, pasted, and sent.... with a simple signature.

Tom, be sure to stop by HR asap... there's a little something waiting in an envelope for you. I'll personally tell Legal that Engineering has just kicked their butts... for pennies on the dollar.

You guys are fun!

What's the most stroke anyone has gotten out of QB7Xs?

Can you find a hammer arrangement capable of handling a 2" cocking stroke?
(a short but heavy hammer? Should I get some tungsten rod/bar?)

p.s.: no worries - I can 'waste' all you need, via the plates' slot (-s- even for the bolt.)
- but it looks like the corkscrew R&P's will do that much.

stalwart · « **Reply #1152 on:** July 31, 2015, 11:03:54 PM »

Anything over about 1.75" will not fit in the tail.... and therefore the stock.

We can have all we want with a longer tail, but you'd have to mod the stock quite a bit.

You have all the stroke you need right now, for .30 cal.

Remember, this is an AR match stock - not an FD/XS stock.
It will get VERY heavy modding already.
This is where an FD action will fit in it after inletting.

2.5" will easily fit, long before it pokes you in the face. Your thumb would have lots of room under a tail.

stalwart · « **Reply #1155 on:** August 03, 2015, 07:22:35 PM »

Got a package from Pellet Garden. 55gr .25 bullets in .249, .250, and .251. I got them to test barrels for fit. Should take some of the the guesswork out of customer's search for proper pellet size.

Double sealed, and packed in cork granules.... they're like little lead jewels!

I think a 1.5" (max) tail will be plenty...

Looks like my Thru-Tube set up could be considered good insurance even at 1.5K.

http://www.network54.com/Forum/79537/thread/1440284787/last-1440350522/Expand+Thread

http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=96148.0

It hasn't been shown, to my knowledge, what failed... exactly. I do know that I run into receivers with threads of a too large ID. The tubes can be rocked slightly in them, even run in to finger tight. Those go into the TT pile, and make great 3K-4.5K guns.

If you look way back in this thread, there was an example of a customer who ran into this problem. Since then, I have chased and checked every receiver that comes in for repeater conversion. The sloppy ones get replaced from stock, and the parts are shipped back with confidence.

There is a lot left to know about this particular example. One thing to remember, guys... if one of these is overfilled, just ONCE, even if it didn't show any immediate effect... it could be set up for failure at "safe" pressures later.

Bottom line? More info needed, and there is nothing left to say here until that info is gained. Except, perhaps this: The Thru-Tube conversion ain't cheap... or, is it?

rsterne · « **Reply #1158 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:51:14 PM »

You say that you have run into receivers where the threads are too large an ID.... By that do you mean that a stock XS-60c tube is loose in the receiver.... and that a tap of the appropriate size is also loose?....

Trying to figure out if the problem is likely the receiver too big or the tube too small, here?.... In any case, as you say, the Thru-tube conversion is the 100% solution, either way....

Bob

stalwart · « **Reply #1159 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:57:24 PM »

Correct... on all counts. The stock tubes are sometimes small.... and a surprising number of the receivers are a bit big.

I check and refit all guns sent to me, as a matter of course. It costs me me only time, as any "bad" receivers are simply called to a higher purpose.

Thank you to our advertisers!
