2020 Zero-S LCD screen upgrade

The liquid crystal screen from my 2020 Zero S looked dated at the time, now it's even worse. I ordered the 2023 screen, which fits just fine on the 2020 model. Fresher look and as a bonus it displays the efficiency in Wh/km.

Reloading 300AAC Blackout for accuracy

Since I purchased a Ruger Ranch in 300AAC to complement my DDM4 in the same caliber, I have been attempting to find a high accuracy load. Currently the best result seem to be with very lightweight bullets (110gr Hornady V-MAX with flat butt). I've tried pretty much everything in between. I have tried getting very close to the lands. I have tried N120, N110, N105. I have sorted the brass by weight, sorted the brass by length. Trimmed the brass from the shoulder. All sorts of attempts. Nothing really give…

Ruger SR22 USP-style thread cover

A friend had accuracy problems on his SR22, due to the slide having too much play. I was inspired by HK's use of an o-ring on their USP and machined a piece of 4140 into some kind of a muzzle break that also doubles as a slide centering device, using a small o-ring for perfect centering.

Sig P322 Suppressor, 3D Printed

I was inspired by The SilencerCo Maxim 9 (Not imported in France) to design my own suppressor following a similar philosophy : maximizing the suppressor volume with a very specific design.  Disclaimer : Suppressors are perfectly legal and non-regulated items in France. If you use any part of this post to produce a suppressor in the USA - or any country where this is illegal, you are sole responsible for any legal consequences. Drawing was done using Sketchup (a fairly old version). As I don't have access to a metal additive…

MX-30 lowered with 19" rims

I quite like my MX-30 but the rims and the ride height always seemed off. Using H&R springs (-35mm front, -40mm rear) and Borbet "V" rims, the result is most satisfying. I carefully researched tires, as I was forced to go from 215 to 225 width and didn't want to sacrifice too much range to that. It is after all, a tiny 32kWh battery ! Turns out Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 in 225/45/19 have better rolling resistance (A) than stock Bridgetone T005A tires in 215/55/18 (B) without sacrificing on…
