How to make a Penny Can Stove

I just thought this was neat. I made one in about 10 minutes using a different design.

I made mine about the size of a skoal can and it will burn for about 40 min. Boils 2 cups of water in about 5 min.

I dont think the RTV is necessary if you get a good interference fit.

You figured out that CZ 82 yet?

[50cal Smokepole]

Yep. Was at the range today fine tuning the sights. Not happy with the russkie ammo and still waiting for the Hornady rounds -- intergalactic backorder. (Rear sight is staked, that made for a challenge, but I got it done.)

Rear sight is staked? I have never seen that.

I hope the thing serves you well.

I cant say enough about them as you know.

I think the sights on those things are very modern for a milsurplus item.

As I said, sell it to me for $150.

I hate to see you burdened ☺

A nice little center punch on the centerline at the forward edge of the rear sight. Took some serious pounding with a brass drift, BFH and a padded vise to get the thing to move. The original paint (tritium?) was gone when I got it, so I applied some new paint and they work just great.

Oh, and no sale. ;)

I use a brass drift to float sights as well.

I have never seen a CZ 82 with worn sights.

I just had to redo a Star BMs sights but that was just because I had to drift them out to replace the firing pin.

I have one M1 Rockola carbine thats sights are heavily staked.

Ahh!! there is a set mark on mine as well! From the factory.

[50cal Smokepole]

Yep, that's the stuff I'm waiting for. I already have the reloading dies, primers and case prep tools. Just have to get some powder and the backordered Hornady factory loads so I have some brass to reload.

Usually they just place a witness mark

It’s a fine side small sidearm

[50cal Smokepole]

Well, I don’t know if it’s a stake, but that sight was welded in place. After all these years, I’m not surprised.

I think you just hijacked your own thread. ROFL!

[mylife]

I wouldn’t put that past me LoL

Well, humor us chicks for a bit, in the interest of education.

I look around and do I have Heet? Nope, but I have Raid wasp/hornet 20ft killer cans, hair gels and sprays that the
first ingredient is FLAMMABLE, plus bbq starter.

I have a bottle of transmission fluid, some paint thinner, and quite a bit of nail polish remover.

These will fill in in an emergency, yes?

[txhurl]

None of my stuff actually lists methanol as an ingredient. But they all go boom.

[mylife]

I wouldn’t recommend insecticide to cook on LoL

Its fine for squirting in black barts eyes...

[mylife]

Be careful with that stuff kid... You’ll put an eye out ;)

Transmission fluid is an excellent gun preservative.

K. Gonna build one of these tomorrow, and guess I’m going to go with nail polish remover (acetone).
