yesssssss this is gonna really work drilling + tapping receiver is the next big task, and i got to position it just right so this scope fits still. other has the claws on a rail.

kinda hate the front sight base on Mauser español. Its got a weird 7/16in dovetail for the post and its sitting tilted which would fuck up a globe. And the checkering i did myself with a file, it was ugly jeweled.

rian @violen.cc · 18/09/2025

German claw metal prints just arrived and they turned out perfect. Gotta hand fit everything but thats expected. Forgot to cut 1 screw hole when i set the files but i can just drill it lol

went autism mode on mp5 ultradot config >vertical split rings for aesthetics, airbrushed them a touch lighter + weathered. >didnt like hard white on ultradot, so i smudged black marker over 4-Dot text and repainted dial position dots a warmer shade. with a tiny brush.

oh shid, bannerman sporterized some of the Spanish american war captures. Struggling to find a pic but for my potentially bannerman Mauser español it'd be the perfect look to clone

FUCk it. Gonna order a 2nd chilean mauser stock while apex still has em cheap. i hate that the swedish stock on mauser español bothers me, things a frankenmauser sporter.... i just want it to look spanish (and chilean stocks are identical)

ULTRADOT status moved from walther OSP to mp5 (with the old Airsoft claw i was using on g3 before going SG1 clone mode)

if im gonna for real get a Glock 42 i should put the time in to find a sus crime gun my astra cub build with the obliterated serial slide needs company

rian @violen.cc · 07/09/2025

if any of u want the scope they put on Mauser 22 trainers... the case + caps are worth $100 alone

rian @violen.cc · 02/09/2025

i dont know when this pan-tech ad is from but if its 50s or 60s then its about a fifth the price of my nice kahles not bad really, its god awful with the worst eyebox ive looked through but Jesus Christ i paid $1 for a trashed rusty example and it still works.

100

rian @violen.cc · 02/09/2025

ok looking outside the window from an angle i can actually see shit better, Bausch & Lomb glass is a step down from the Austro-germanics (kahles, s&b, zeiss) Bit less light transmission and a subtle tint, i rank it as just below the (30yrs newer) Russian kronos. Not bad.

100

rian @violen.cc · 02/09/2025

$1 mystery scope is a pan-tech Jr and its the worst thing ive looked through in my life lmao "experimental" Bausch & Lomb 8a shows no signs of being experimental but i paid less than a normal one goes for so. its actually quite good, way brighter than weaver v9 but not as

100

rian @violen.cc · 02/09/2025

FUCKING Shit Loads of 7.62 NATO (200rd portugese not pictured) new countries are Nigeria, Colombia, Spain, new Zealand and Austria plus repeats of a lot incl. Syrian. Also got another pre-NATO experimental round.

100

rian @violen.cc · 02/09/2025

HOLY SHid one mixed lot from local auctions. DWM 7mm mauser, pre-spitzer. Only 2rd but my mausers are both Loewe (renamed DWM in 1896 since Ludwig Loewe was Soros if he owned Raytheon) Also some 303 British i cant use and was too slow to photograph the bug taste testing

at this point we're long past Napoleon III, if youre an orthodox Marxist the best you can get is a farce of a farce of a farce. Napoleon took bits of the French rev and made them real, since the soviet revolution all the bits of Marxism that are gonna be real, are real

rian @violen.cc · 31/08/2025

huge progress on german claw bases. need to work on looks + make the claws for s&b before ordering metal prints, but its actually functional

000

rian @violen.cc · 29/08/2025

I WISH hk made a shrunken 380 p2000sk still kinda really want one, if i could carry it comfortably id carry the shit out of it

110

rian @violen.cc · 29/08/2025

le $50 "noris" schmidt & bender arrived. perfect condition, first scope ive bought with zero problems. the glass is fantastic, it might be on par with the kahles tbh. Which would indicate the other s&b is only worse due to complexity of variable magnification (fancy at the time)

rian @violen.cc · 27/08/2025

picked up some cheap oigee lens covers but the ebay seller measured them wrong and theyre useless it'd be fine if they didnt look so damn good but no, they are nice, they make the repros look trash.

000

rian @violen.cc · 27/08/2025

printed scope ring spacers might actually work. Had to sand quite a bit, wish I could resin print. I've utilized the bit of integral rail i left on scope + a channel at bottom of claw, its actually nice, they keep in place tightening down.

000

rian @violen.cc · 27/08/2025

3d print g3 buttpad is Way too FUCKING heavy smh reverting to normal buttpad for now RIP. maybe some day.

100

rian @violen.cc · 25/08/2025

buttpad status PRINTED gonna suck making it look good but the ergo is on point, sits nice in your shoulder and gives proper eye relief. Length of pull is absurd but that doesnt matter so much on a bipod.

000

rian @violen.cc · 25/08/2025

the actual grip safetypill is remington 51 thing was designed to be carried grip safety only and the thumb safety is only there for people nervous about that. if it had a trigger safety or just was DA/SA it'd be my dream redundant safety carry gun but i still want

100

rian @violen.cc · 25/08/2025

maybe i should start drinking again tbh what has quitting got me? Nothing, i still am without gf im more avoidant of social things than before if anything

100

rian @violen.cc · 24/08/2025

check this out. printed a little thing that slips in to lessen the gap. big improvement imo especially once i get the printed pad, that'll have the buttpad sticking out even further back.

000

rian @violen.cc · 24/08/2025

i have an idea for 30mm to 28mm scope ring spacers for g3SG/1 clone. 1mm brass sheet, then instead of doing top halves and bottom halves its 1 piece per ring. Let tightening the screws handle fully bending it.

100

rian @violen.cc · 24/08/2025

sg1 buttpad ready for printing flared out for improved ergo + its very thick and has the screwhead halfway down so i can easily mount it extremely far out back for eye relief.

100

rian @violen.cc · 24/08/2025

G3SG/1 DESTITUTE POVERTY VER. test fit. Its not bad. A 3d print buttpad would be better. Also, fail on scope ring spacers. 30mm rings 28mm tube. Modified 1in spacers are too thin. Need a new approach.

100

rian @violen.cc · 23/08/2025

worked out SG1 clone ergo gonna look a bit silly the buttpad is barely hanging on

120

rian @violen.cc · 23/08/2025

.....FUCKING hell the local auctions are over. I won 16 auctions. 350 rd of 7.62 nato mostly nice portugese surplus, the so-called "balvar 8a experimental scope" with no explanation of why its experimental, a $1 rusted mystery scope, other misc cheap stuff

100

rian @violen.cc · 23/08/2025

lol they didnt lower the price on this like they did most zero bid items ill give u fiddy bux like i paid for the others cope and seethe collectors

000

rian @violen.cc · 23/08/2025

heyyy local auction place dropped the starting bid on a "bausch & lomb balvar 8a experimental scope" with zero explanation of why its experimental maybe ill win it. And then beg them to let me contact the last owner or something.

100

rian @violen.cc · 23/08/2025

So, since the early s&b are confirmed full s&b, this means having the brand name increases value 4x. is it lunacy? Not if they fixed all the weather sealing stuck parallax etc that makes my s&b the "little shitter"

100

rian @violen.cc · 22/08/2025

....damn, i dont think im gonna be winning that super nice fancy shooting rest. Outbid at $150. that is ok it would be an asspain to carry around. I will have to stick with little bags of which im winning one at $5.

100

rian @violen.cc · 22/08/2025

this gives me a license to use my vinyl cutter and make fake schmidt & bender markings as a show off

000

rian @violen.cc · 22/08/2025

HOLY FUCK THEY RESPONDED my schmidt & bender is a schmidt & bender inside and out, its not just the glass like everyone says

120

rian @violen.cc · 21/08/2025

current scope rankings::: 1. Kahles helia 4 s1 2. S&B 1.75-6x36 shitty weather sealing fatal flaw 3. Zeiss zielvier mostly just dated 4. Kronos 4.5-13x56 ok glass 5. Weaver v9 bad glass 6. Simmons 1.5-4.5 awful glass

100

rian @violen.cc · 21/08/2025

lol fuck my resin printer is dead. only half the screen works... had resin leak out of broken tub, cleaned it up but something mustve got in. things like 5yrs old so. Upgrading from mars 3 to mars 5, $170 not bad. Sadly claw is on hold until i get it.

000

rian @violen.cc · 21/08/2025

i am following the correct standard for how much to spend on rifle vs scope + mount, 50/50 (sub-$200 Mauser español sub-$200 kahles 4x + schmidt & bender 6x + projected metal print costs)

000

rian @violen.cc · 21/08/2025

le ajack of m41b sniper fame exact same model has weird claws i am passing, no more asspain mounts i have had enough

000

rian @violen.cc · 21/08/2025

i have bought yet another scope. the $50 mystery German 6 power that didnt sell last week. Only cheap 6x ive seen + has integral rail and i have a set of claws for integral rail, i can just put them on and use with WIP bases. then i will have a 4x and 6x and its quick detach.

110

rian @violen.cc · 20/08/2025

2 days left on local auctions. I am winning 14 auctions. ouch. mostly cheap stuff except a bunch of portugese 7.62 NATO and fancy gun rest so it could be worse.

010

rian @violen.cc · 20/08/2025

maybe i should just save money and/or sacrifice other guns and get the mauser 66 for a proper SP66 clone it'd be about $1k which is a lot, but for what you're getting thats not even bad. its a high end fairly modern precision rifle.

100

rian @violen.cc · 20/08/2025

fuck 3d print cheek riser i just need this scarf but not oversized and doesnt fall off, its extreme comfy and perfect height for prototype mounts

110

rian @violen.cc · 20/08/2025

le $6 + shipping spotting scope. even has an autistic russian manual with diagrams and shit. vs my fancy riflescopes it seems terrible but maybe some of that is a spotting scope thing. i will never know. unlike riflescopes im never buying another. i see far away. it is fine.

100

rian @violen.cc · 19/08/2025

i finally understand the difference between my kahles helia 4 s1 and the later helia super 4 s1. the stupid stuck ring, they redesigned it. that's all they changed. i found a manual for it, its confirmed. at least mine fits the Mauser vibe...

000

rian @violen.cc · 19/08/2025

prototype #1 finished. thing is too small to use FDM prototypes im gonna have to switch to resin lol that means metal printing it should be cheap, big win there
