braddsn Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks to Dynomike (APC member), I am now going to be able to put on a nice 4th of July show, without reloading! http://www.amateurpyro.com/forums/gallery/image/3079-got-guns/
ddewees Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Very nice... have fun lugging them around. 1
jessoman Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Brad, you'll have to make a custom trailer for those puppies- drive em around the property! 1
enanthate Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I allmost didn't believe you when you said you needed a trailer to pick them up, damn!You have no idea how lucky you are I pay $80 for one mortar, so I only have a couple.Reloading this year, yup.

Did you think about buying hdpe waterpipe and seal them yourself? Braddsn a nice collection you got there 1
enanthate Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Of course, the hdpe are better than glassfibre IMO. But close to impossible to get over here, even though im constantly looking for it. Could buy via a company, then its $200 for 6M plus shipping....
schroedinger Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 If you have a companke maybe you should ask for cut off pieces
enanthate Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 "Diggingcompanies" might have, but there are laws against giving leftovers away, hence the difficulty getting some. I did get couple meters 145mm ID, which is a bit small for 6". Any idea on increasing the ID? Tried honing with little luck, its a tough material indeed.
dynomike1 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I feel like we loaded more than that. 2 hrs. of digging and loading. 1
braddsn Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 It was a deal of a lifetime to be able to get this many. I am very fortunate. I am very fond of the idea of shooting a show and not having to reload. And, now I get to shoot several sizes.. 3's up to 8's! 1
enanthate Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Gonna be expensive and alot of work to fill them all tho!You guys shooting together this year?I deffinitely expect and look forward to a video!!

Tried honing with little luck, its a tough material indeed.A much easier solutionnwould be to just make your shells 145 mm istead of 150. This way you don't need to worry about those things.E.G. the maltese also use "strange" sizes like 130 mm, but maybe you will need to make the hemis yourself.
schroedinger Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 How is 130mm an odd size exactly?In the EU a normal 5" is referred to as 125 mm with 127-128 mortar i.d. the 130 mm need a mortar slightly bigger.
Sparx88 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Man I was thinking Rack of ribs, Rack of lamb or billiards but noooooooo, you had to go and one up on us huh. Yah, Ok, sure I get it, what a nice promotion you got there sir. Well they sure look like they could be as fun as some other racks, hope one does'nt get jealous 1
jessoman Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Good thing about these racks is you can choose the size you want but racks get jealous of cans so they get rid of em ha 1
Livingston Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Let just say up front Thank You brad and dyno. These boys will be putting to sum gold use next year!! "Racks gotta love em""!! 1
kilr95ss Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Wow, just starting out in pyro and only have a 5 shot 2" rack, those are impressive. 1
