For those looking for an L receiver STL..

..found a new one on the big blue wobbly thing where the mermaids live. Search for "Cetme L 3d Printed Flat WIP". I have gotten as far as (virtually) cutting up the model into 2 sides and a top, then reassembling. When cutting, use the "inner" mandrel edge as your cut line and everything should line up when "folded". Using the inside of the "top" piece results in the top being too wide. It appears that a one-piece receiver will barely fit in a 220x220x230 printer. Happy printing!

PS: why no model L flair?

Edit: Now I need some tech drawings to double-check receiver dimensions. Any leads?

Edit2: Going on the printer now. Will update tomorrow.

Edit3: Off the printer and it looks like it is dimensionally accurate (FCG fits) but absolutely NOT suitable for an actual receiver due to the limitations of the thin plastic. This model likely could form the basis of a properly reinforced/beefier printable design.

Any way to virtually bend the model using the supplied inner press and top press to avoid cutting and reassembling?

Any FRT options for the CETME-L?

I saw the ARHK by AS Designs recommended somewhere, but AS specifically states "Not recommended for use with CETME". Any other (proven working) options for an FRT in my CETME-LC? Something that doesn't cost more than the rifle would be cool too. Thanks in advance.

So, let me ask the NFA/suppressor new rules question a little differently..

IF it turns out that membership with/patronage of one of the plaintiffs below allows one to bypass registration for suppressors/SBR's/SBS's, which of the plaintiffs below would be the lesser of the evils/most acceptable to a 2A liberal?

Silencer Shop Foundation

Gun Owners of America

B&T USA

Palmetto State Armory

SilencerCo Weapons Research

Thanks for your input, and let's hope this makes hearing protection available to the masses. On a side note, I saw a Flock cam at my local Lowe's today. I didn't realize how large of a target they were. Thought they were smaller for some reason.

After going through 3 Wurkkos lights, I am looking for a durable replacement.

Two FC11's and a HD11 nonworking after minor (3'-4') drops, and another EDC HD11 that's acting quirky. Any recommendations for a durable, 18650 work-type light <$150? Something good for small work areas more important than throw or strobe, and able to take an occasional drop/impact. Thanks in advance.

Regarding the NFA changes regarding suppressors etc...

..are any of the plaintiffs (GOA and others) left-leaning or are they all right-wing? I did join GOA a few years ago over the FRT debacles, but let my membership expire once i started receiving their pro-tRump email propaganda. Thanks in advance!

Regarding Adam's question of how Christian men can mistreat women:

In Christianity, women are regarded as subject to a man's will and are, essentially, property, much like other Abrahamic religions. Therefore, these Christian men ARE acting in a Christian manner towards women when they are abusive.

Is "doublespace" still an option?

Back in the day, there was a disk compression option called "doublespace", which (nearly) doubled your available storage at the cost of access speed. Is it still around, or something similar?

Looking for a system that can control relays.

I am looking for an alarm system with a wireless door sensor (or a stand-alone door sensor) that can actuate a relay (12v dc /24v AC coil ?). Long story short, I would like to turn my evap cooler (120v) off when the front door is left open 5 minutes or more. Thanks in advance!

Just a random thought on full-auto.

Please feel free to poke holes in my logic, as I am sure there is a glaring flaw in it.

If I build a firearm that used a cordless drill to actuate the trigger multiple times, rapidly, while only pulling the drill trigger once, that is FA.

Same scenario, but the drill turns slowly and only actuates the trigger once every minute. Still FA.

Every hour. Still FA.

Once every year. Still FA. (I defy anyone to (honestly) assert that the ATF wouldn't try this in court).

I am trying to demonstrate that one action of the drill trigger, now, can equate to more than one firearm trigger pull in the future. I am "storing" the potential to pull the firearm trigger. It doesn't matter when I pulled the drill trigger, just that, at some time after that, the firearm trigger will be pulled more than once.

Same scenario, but a spring-wound clockwork mechanism replaces the drill. Still FA.

OK, stick with me on this:

The spring is wound by actuating a trigger mechanism. Each pull of the winding trigger stores the energy needed for one pull of the weapon trigger. I am "storing" the potential for multiple pulls of the weapon trigger. It doesn't matter when I pulled the winding trigger, just that, at some time after that, the firearm trigger will be pulled a corresponding number of times.

The clockwork mechanism, when activated by a single action, will release the potential energy stored in the spring (by individual actions) and actuate the firearm trigger repeatedly and rapidly, but only as many times as the winding trigger was pulled.

This seems like a loophole, but is probably just an interesting thought exercise. Although, that's probably how the FRT came about. Happy printing and thanks for indulging me!

Is the interior height on the lift-equipped busses taller than non-lift busses?

I have been told that they are, but cannot see an appreciable difference in the roofline by looking at pics. Hoping to avoid a roof raise, of course. Thanks.

What is the protocol for adapting/modifying another user's files and posting your own version? (On the wobbly blue thing where the mermaids live).

Is is sufficient to simply credit the creator?

Any way to change text size?

I find it difficult to read much of the text in the FiveM front-end or server list as it is so small. Is there a way to make the text larger/change the resolution? Thanks in advance.

Thank you Baltierrezz R&amp;R..

for occupying trailer parking in your box truck at Lowes Paseo 6/10 0915. Those of us actually pulling trailers really appreciate it. I will be sure to let TLC was able to find a spot for their box truck, so it wasn't a space issue, all my customers know.

Is there a way to change the way programs are shown in the start menu?

Opening a folder in the start menu used to give a vertical list of programs in that folder, showing long file names. Now, there are grouped icons with truncated file names instead. Any way to change it back? Kind of like changing folder view from Icons to Details Thanks!
