Burris MTAC: Quality Battlefield Optic on a Budget Nestled in at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains, Greeley Colorado is home to Burris Optics. Following a twelve-year tenure with Redfield Optics where he pioneered numerous innovations including the first constantly centered non-magnifying reticle scopes, Don Burris set out to make a name for himself. Beginning in 1971, Burris introduced his own line of scopes including the original Fullfield released in 1975, compact handgun scopes in…
Chapter 5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 5.1 Compression Test The compression test results for Granite epoxy specimens is documented and listed in Table 5.1. Table 5.1 Compression Test results for Granite Epoxy Specimens Figure 5.1 shows the compressive strength plot of granite epoxy composite specimens without the inclusion of filler material. From the graph, it is observed that the compressive strength of the fabricated specimen’s increases up to 70% granite content and further decreases with the…
“Nature does nothing by a jump, it is said. But to the British people living at the time, it seemed as if the world they knew had vanished almost overnight,” David Newsome writes of the Victorian Era (Swisher). From the spinning jenny to the steam engine, many products were created to provide a better life and pave the way for social adjustment. During the Victorian Era, industry and innovation ignited the country and influenced the future of steam, power and social change. Before the Victorian…
covered by the reticle is inversely proportional to magnification; as the magnification is increased, the amount of target area covered by the reticle is decreased. Mounting I opted to purchase Burris’ P.E.P.R. mount for my build. The one-piece cantilever mount with integral rings positions the optic 2 inches farther forward to provide extra clearance needed for a night vision device (NVD), add-on magnifier, or long eye relief scope. The “Proper Eye Position Ready” mount also features built-in,…

Part 1 JEDR Critique 1.1. Condition Specifications There is a mistake in the calculation of the assumed wheel circumference. Based on the obtained data from JEDR report, the average wheel diameter is 406 mm and by using the circumference formula, 2πr, the result should be 1.275 m. However, JEDR report says the wheel circumference is 1.2 m. This number should be rounded up to 1.3 m instead of rounded down since this might give critical error in further calculations. The previous wheel…
Study of Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) in Alloys Jiang Jingxing 1. Introduction of Stress Corrosion Cracking Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is the growth of cracks with a under the combined effects of a static stress and a specific chemical environment. All SCC failures involve a macroscopic brittle performance, and the ductility of the material is reduced. It is universally acknowledged that there is no single mechanism for stress corrosion cracking (Ford, 1984). Stress…
