The narrow slot in the bolt face for the blade ejector isn't as prone to brass flow as a plunger ejector and isn't a good indicator of pressure until you get *way* up there in my experience, but a draggy bolt lift is still a reliable indicator. With the pivoting handle installed there's no extraction cam at the top of the bolt lift so you can easily feel bolt lift drag and sticky cases.

Regardless of action, short of a strain gauged barrel IMO it's always more reliable using a blade micrometer to measure case head expansion at the 0.200 line on the brass as the primary indication of excessive pressure and a draggy bolt lift as a secondary confirmation to see if you're pushing things too far.

The pivoting handle is an invisible feature until you have a sticky extraction. You’ll be right at home with the CDG.

Might want to update the title.

How about filling with devcon?

I considered Devcon, Acraglas and welding. I've repaired pits and gouges in metal before using all three. Devcon and Acraglas always leave a tell- tale outline. Welding can be done to where it is completely undetectable but you're really changing the metallurgy and are probably going to destroy accuracy. This is going to be a more or less Colt R80 sort of inspired copy so I'm just going to leave the barrel as is and maybe hide with a heat shield, which does no harm and is period appropriate...plus it will look bad-ass.

But he has no chess piece to combat Trump’s black swan move of exploiting Ukrainian resources in-exchange for the billions worth of weapons and aid we have sent.

So hundreds of billions of dollars given to Ukraine for free under Biden that Trump now mineral rights for is somehow bad for Russia?

How?

Selling my Vortex AMG in MOA. I would describe it as good condition and the lenses are pristine. It shows signs of typical wear (faint ring marks, etc) but it did just get back from Vortex HQ for a deep cleaning. Comes with everything that came in the original box except for the Objective flip cap. Not a clue where that thing went.

Modifying an Ohio Ordnance M1918 would have been much easier...and way more authentic. The HCR was literally 2.5K cheaper. For that price I have to sacrifice a correct barrel and receiver profile. The HCAR has a dimpled barrel, i.e. fluting, and lightening cuts in the receiver. I have considered milling off the raised ridges from the lightening cuts in the receiver. I think the receiver would still be strong enough. The dimpled barrel is a perhaps insurmountable problem short of just replacing the barrel which I don't want to do. I am considering adding a heat shield or some type of sleeve to hide the dimples.

How about filling with devcon?

Honestly, it's pretty obnoxious that Eurooptic hasn't even managed to fill all the pre-orders and other retailers are managing to get them on the shelves. Oh well, maybe in the next batch...

I have been singing the praises of Europtic for years but they seem to have dropped the ball on their own orders with this product. I gave up on them getting inventory and moved on to another known quantity.

Apologies in advance if this is common knowledge, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the CDG discussions.

As a lifetime reloader, I have always been using bolt lift effort and ejector swipe marks (on the case head) as early pressure indicators when working up new loads.

Does the pivoting handle and mechanical ejector (lesser so) of the CDG action prevent me from using these methods, or are there still other obvious indicators regardless of these novel design changes?

Inquiring purchaser wants to know . . .

Thanks

I ordered three of them and they came luckily.

Optics Planet seems to have the best price, just need that code.
