I want to let dave determine a price. I think i got mine for a steal. Dave mentioned pressures higher then what i am used to hearing are safe in marlin actions. I am going to stick with 43,500 as the upper limit.
On that note. I just recenty got a copy of MATLAB software and am now thinking of installing a strain gauge hidden under the forearm to more acurrately determine the actual pressures im at. I will need an ad-da card to pick up the measurements. I want to use my laptop, so i may try and use the microphone jack to pick up the signal. I will need an amplifier for the gauge, and am thinking about using a small op amp with variable power.
I can calibrate the gauge just by hanging a know weight from the end of the barrel and compare to the calculated strain it should create at the gauge. I just want try this to see how accurate ql is, and because i get bored easy.
