Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
I got myself a new indestructible camera for Christmas. Olympus TG-5. Used from ebay. Patience and a good deal appeared. Whole kit, camera, batteries, charger, cables, memory cards ... The ebay price for just the used camera is usually the same or more. Seller excellent reputation. Main upgrade from my current adventure proof camera is 4K video. Hopefully I'll sell my old camera and GPU cards on ebay. Might cover the new one plus some.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
good camera good deal ! Note that you can make multiple shots one after the other and stitch ! Through that technic you
not only gain an ultra wide angle if necessary but also through stiching much much higher resolution ! I have stichted up
to 150 MP and you can use Hugin software free for that !

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
Rayman so far it is good. Yeah, several good tools in addition to the ruggedness. Have to learn more and practice some of them.

Looks like the innards of an AK are much like my SKS.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
not sure why she is demounting the muzzle brake for a field stripping, but she does quite good. Although i cannot judge her, as I dont know how fast an AK can be disassembeled. We had 16s limit for disassemble of Vz58 and 40s to reassemble. I think I did it in 14s.
SKS shoudl be quite different inside than AK tho.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
Full auto differences visible in this video? Don't know. Obvious differences visible in the video but much similarity too. The AK seems to have a part or two that are combined or simplified and it is clearly much easier to assemble/disassemble. I think she is a Ukrainian high school senior (here that's 12th school year, 17-18 age) and must choose either military or medical related training. Hmm, my ancient, worn, Chinese sks cost about $100 long ago including the original stock and a folding plastic one. Now they are $450! Sell it or get another big magazine? Hmm ...
Usually winter is my time off but this one has been busy. So I've done no CG worth reporting.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
the inner workings should be completely different in SKS... short stroke piston vs long stroke piston etc. Totally different mechanism. Just from a top of my head, i dont own any of these two.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
I quit Vimeo. Left a few videos there on the free plan. Signed up at Rumble. Tried embedding a video from Rumble here. No luck. PM'ed Clintonman and noted an add-on for phpBB that embeds media from almost anywhere. Otherwise a picture and link will do.

Re: Finis' Experiments and Scribbles
