wow super meaningful message and beautiful shots. sometimes we stop too long deciding whether to chase dreams or not and life passes by while we were too busy to notice
You have to incase the welding blanket in epoxy clamp the fibers using pressure with hydronic press or C clamps Do this test over make a mold cut the blankets use epoxy to bond then together & clamps them all together while the resin dries Good luck
Great story brother! I’m the proud third generation owner of a Mossberg Model 640 T .22WMR. My Pop-pop got it brand new and when he passed it went to my dad and thankfully I still got my pops but he’s pretty much designated it mine. I now have a young daughter who’s ten and will be learning on that gun very soon. It’s a real feeling of true pride with hand me down firearms. In fact all of my long guns have been handed down, rifles and smooth bores. I did buy myself one twelve gauge that was chambered in 3-1/2 inch to use for goose hunting. Let me tell ya gimmick!! Used it one season and by the next I was back to my old Ithaca mod.38 shooting high brass 2-3/4 shells. If you are a good shot that’s plenty of power and shot to cleanly bring down honkers. Hahaha anyway got a little side track. Thank you for sharing your similar story of your Mossberg .22wmr. It’s nice to hear of kindred spirits out there in the world. Cheers from the hollar in Pennsylvania!
Good video. I can see why fiberglass and resin is added for these plates. It makes a huge difference in retaining the shape instead of shattering to pieces.
4140. AISI 5150 or AR500 steel plates 5mm thick. and 30 layer resin pressed fiberglass works better you must try this. lets see how this works combine the steel plates and 30 layer resin pressed fiberglass. back and front of the steel plate must be reinforced with the 30 layer resin pressed fiberglass
4140 or 5150 or ar500 steel plate thick at least 5 mm thick and 30 layer resin pressed fiberglass works better i think. if you try it. will you try it my friend ?
I just saw your video and just got mine got it out of storage about 2 weeks ago. I brought it when I was in my 20's. It was my first gun. I am now 73 and my son got me back into shooting. I did have a Mossberg 20 ga pump that I really enjoyed and sold it. I would love to go another. Thank you for reminding of it value to me and someday I hope to show my granddaughter how to shoot.
The idea that someone would try this out by wearing it and having someone shoot at you is completely crazy. Why even the suggestion? How else could you get hurt?
Try this layering (front to back): -rubber pad. -6mm mild steel plate. -ceramic tile (must be plain smooth & not corrugated) vacuum sandwiched in 5layers each front & back fibreglass sheets. Glue with fibreglass resin. -uhmwpe chopping board. Then wrap it all up with duct tape, or sew it all in a case of denim. Reason for the layering sequence is such: -chopping board initially dampens the speed of the bullet. -ceramic tile stops the energy of the bullet. -denim case keeps the ceramic tiles from flaying. -fibreglass slows down bullet. -steel plate stops the bullet from penetrating. -rubber pad protects wearer from injury from spalls and whatever energy is left that deforms the steel plate. Tried and tested to stop up to 7.62nato & 7.62russian military rounds. Combat tested and proven by guerilla fighters in the Phils. (CAFGU vs NPA commie fighters).
You can cut sqaures from a steel oxygen tank bolt them together heat treat it and you have yourself flexible body armor that can take up to several rounds of 7.62. Demolition ranch has a video testing it out with 9mm 5.56 mm and 7.62 it took a high caliber bolt action to punch through at all
This along with the Marlin 783 are my two favorite survival guns.With proper shot placement and good optics it is a one shot kill rifle for small game and deer, You can easily carry 100 rounds of ammo without being bulky. Enjoy !!!
