This is just a quickie. blog post with a few oddball updates, none of which would really merit a post on their own.
More TSDZ2 heatsinks are in production. We’ll get those done as quickly as possible. If you’d like to be added to a waitlist, please just message us using the icon in the top right hand corner and we’ll email you when more are available. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response, so thank you!
If you’re one of the 5-10 people in the world who want to see the borescope of a barrel, we’ve got a new one up, the .30 cal FX Dreamline. This rifle was purchased as new-inventory back in August, which is during the time period when FX was saying all their rifles come with the new Smooth Twist Superior liners, however there is no indication on the rifle, label, packaging, or vendor’s product listing to indicate one way or another. So who knows? I believe FX is now supposed to be marking these things with a sticker, at least aftermarket barrels, but you’d think lasering an ID tag on the side would be valuable as much for batch control as consumer sanity. *shrug* Either way, for what it is worth, above is a borescope of the rifle. The rifle has seen approximately 1,000 rounds, all of them JSB 50.15g pellets, most of them going at 880fps.
If you happen to have a North American Arms revolver (which are great little pistols by the way, would recommend) you’ve probably noticed that speed-reloads present a bit of a “challenge.” You don’t so much affect a fast exchange of empty cartridges for fresh ones as engage in a field stripping exercise in many cases. The Ranger II remedies the gun-half of this, and Desert Gun Leather has a nice speed loader to remedy the other half. Fantastic, but difficulty arises in carrying said speed loader, as it is only really useful if it can be reliably carried and quick-to-hand. So we cooked up a little design that the speed loader firmly clips into, protecting the cartridges, but can quickly and easily be withdrawn from. The design fits to a belt or waistband with either a loop or j-hook (pictured) We’ve got the design files available, free to anyone who need them.
And, finally, it appears a few commercial flashlights are in the neighborhood of the Lance of Ra’s performance. With the LoX project shelved, and customers banging on our door asking for a new megathrower, it seemed only right we’d come up with some sort of answer…..
