Finally got 1 piece of the 14.5mm sniper round. This is an 8x90mm Tungsten bar, going to be used for the dart itself (or more correctly, penetrator). I need it machined which has proven to be a BIG pain in the rear. Emailed 11 local machine shops with no luck. Might have found a buddy to help down in the US. It will be rounded on one end, the front. The middle will have rings cut into it, not deep but just enough to have the sabots lock on just like a real APFSDS round. The end I thought I would get threaded but it would cost ALOT, so I will just get it machined down a little thinner, and the fins will slide over-top and be glued in-place. It is pictured with a real 25mm APFSDS dart, minus fins. It is an experimental one and is much larger than normal but you get the point of what it will look like. Finding a casing is impossible too. Always see them but now I need one I cant. Also looking for someone with a 3D printer that can print a set of sabots for me, I dont have access to one. Anyone here have one that can help me? I can pay ofcourse.
I will make another update once I get this darn thing machined!
