This thing fucks!

Happy to finally have a subcompact. I’ll be getting a radian barrel and comp for it.

.5” 5 shot group 6.5 creedmoor Hornaday ELD Match 100 yards. Aero Precision 22” stainless barrel, triggertech diamond tech, area 419 muzzle break, NightForce NX8 4-32 scope. Front bipod rear bag.

Went to fire up the egg tonight and I noticed a bunch of cracks on the interior fire bowl. I think it’s safe to say I have gotten my moneys worth. I bought it lightly used in 2005 for $120. Other than age and use, what causes this?

Went to Zaragoza with my family. It was a moving experience. Here is a screen grab of the diamond ring from a video I took on my phone of the totality.

35 amps, 8pps, .040 tungsten in a micro torch. Inner diameter 1.425, .030 wall thickness 304ss around 10pm in the positioner.

UHV is ultra high vacuum and this system will be pumped down to 1×10−9 torr. Part of a system for coating silicon wafers. This was a damaged component that I had to repair and was definitely one of the more nerve racking welds I have done. Does anyone else here do UHV work?
