I made a minor addition to my CAR-15 because my old eyes aren't great with carbine length iron sights any more. Have I blasphemed?

Well, would you look at that! Sometime after midnight, this GOA Life Member's PSA Mixtape Black Edition turned its SBA5 into a Magpul MOE SL!

Beach pizza: Christy's vs. Tripoli?

I've been getting Christy's for 45 years, and recently tried Tripoli for the first time. Yikes. Does anyone actually prefer Tripoli? That sauce was so sweet, it tasted like the sauce in Spaghetti-Os. I like a slightly sweet sauce on my NY style pizza, but damn, that was bad.

Barrel mounted side sling swivels. When did they start to appear in inventory?

I’m thinking of putting one on my late CAR-15 build, but wasn’t sure if they were available before all the CARs disappeared from US inventory.

When I was young, all the high speed guys were running CAR-15 variants. I still love this carbine. When I sling this shorty and head into the woods, I'm reminded how light ARs used to be.

I know, the modern built up AR is much more effective fighting tool than this old dinosaur, but if I just want a carbine for a daytime woods walk, I'm leaving behind my modern ARs, slinging this, and putting a couple of extra mags on my belt.

I haven't attended the Concord gun show in decades. Thinking about going and unloading some nice stuff. A couple of questions...

  1. I hear private sales now require a background check to be run at a dedicated table. Annoying. How much does that cost?

  2. What's their CCW policy?

Thanks!

Looking for a farm stand with great local tomatoes around the Dover/Rochester/Somersworth area.

The tomatoes in the local supermarkets are still hothouse garbage. Anywhere roadside stands nearby where I can get some local vine ripened Beefsteaks or Heirlooms?

Dear Rapco, I love your paint, but your spray nozzles are hot garbage.

Sorry u/RapcoPartsCompany but your cheap fan spray nozzles really suck. Of all the different spray cans I use, Rustoleum, Krylon, Testors, Tamiya, yours are the only ones that wind up with dribbles all over the can and the tip of my finger covered in paint. If you get some nice spraying nozzles, I promise to love you forever. <3 u/Affectionate_Cronut

Bought a Mixtape. When I SBR it that Maxim Defense abomination has to go. Question...

I know I'll have to change the buffer tube to a standard carbine tube to mount a stock, but do they have a proprietary buffer spring and buffer as well?

Today at the range with my Rugged Obsidian 9, it happened again.

No end cap strikes.

Four different guns, a P-80 full size with a no-name threaded barrel, a PSA Dagger/Ruger RXM Frankengun with a Ballistic Advantage threaded barrel, a Stealth Arms Platypus, and a CZ P-10 C with a Griffin Armament threaded barrel. Roughly 1700 rounds fired and no problems so far. I keep that booster lubed generously with white lithium grease every couple hundred rounds, and as big of a pain in the ass as it is, I use 2 wraps of yellow gas fitters tape before threading it on a barrel. It hasn't loosened up with the taped threads yet.

Wheelgun Wednesday. Went for an early morning walk in sweats, so threw this in a bellyband. Smith &amp; Wesson 15-3 and Microtech UTX-85.
