Just picked this up today and while it came with a holster in the box, I would like to keep the light mounted. It's a harbor freight light, so same dimensions and should work with any tlr-1 holster. Any help much appreciated.
Where were you when this dropped?
We had a blast! If you haven't been, you should go.
What are you grabbing while walking out the door?
Good catch either way 🐟
Look, we all know the open waters down in Point Nemo are getting lawless. You’re out there minding your own business in your kayak, just trying to enjoy the salt air with your dog, and the next thing you know, a boarding party of lawless scallywags is trying to commandeer your vessel.
I needed a dedicated maritime backpack PDW. I already have a suppressed .300 BLK for the house, a suppressed sbr 6.5 grendel, and I am absolutely not buying a dedicated .338 can just to drop it in the ocean. This thing is running a 7.5-inch barrel, completely unsuppressed, and yes, it is going to be a concussive flashbang. Deal with it. Oh and it was dirt cheap and runs flawlessly, so when i drop it in the water, idgaf.
After doing the math, I settled on the Hornady 215 gr FTX Black for my anti-piracy loadout. Here is why this setup is mathematically the ultimate close-quarters swashbuckler-stopper:
The Ballistics (The Short Barrel Tax)
The .338 ARC was built on the 6.5 Grendel case, meaning it has a short, efficient powder column that actually performs out of a micro-barrel.
For context, I am launching a 215-grain projectile out of a 7.5" barrel with more kinetic energy than a standard 5.56 out of a full 16" rifle.
Why the 215gr FTX over MonoFlex?
It comes down to hull integrity.
Alternatively, the 170gr MonoFlex is a solid copper penetrator. If I hit a boarder with that, it's zipping straight through them, right through the deck of their ship, and potentially through my own hull.
The 215gr FTX has a polymer Flex Tip designed for violent, rapid expansion. Out of my 7.5" barrel, it crosses the subsonic/non-expanding threshold at roughly 150 yards. Since all naval engagements from my kayak will be well inside 125 yards, that massive slug is going to hit, instantly mushroom, and dump all 1,300+ ft-lbs of energy directly into the target without over-penetrating and sinking my own ship should i be boarded.
Roast the unsuppressed 7.5" cannon all you want, but my dog and I will not be yielding to any black flags today.
Anyone else ever play at the Eckerd's field on 441 and Yamato back in the day with Grandma selling paintballs and co2 out of her truck? Before the library was built. Everything seems so different now.

Not really sure on the value of these.. heard they are great duty pistols... That's it
I already own AR's in .22, 9mm, 5.56, 6.5 Grendel, .300 blackout, and .338 ARC. Had an AR-10 in .308 and I just recently sold it.
Just picked all of this up today and haven't even had a chance to shoot them yet! Decided to stretch the budget and ended up with two completely different setups for around $1,200 out the door (including the can).

The Tactical Plinker:
The Suppressor (Currently on the Rossi):
Super stoked to get these out to the range. Let me know what you guys think of the builds!
I'm a broke boy that wants to get into thermals, I know those 2 things don't usually mix well. What's the consensus? I saw an amg rattler for an affordable price at the lgs, I think under a thousand. I'm ignorant, educate me please.

Hey everyone, I'm stuck in a frustrating loop on GunBroker and need some advice from anyone who has dealt with this.
I recently sold a rifle. The buyer selected an FFL, but then realized that FFL is closed for the entire month. He messaged me the info for a new FFL to use instead.
Here is the problem: The buyer used GunTab (CC & ACH) to pay, so the GunBroker order status currently says "Payment: In Process". Underneath that, it explicitly says, "Order cannot be updated until the payment transaction is complete." My Edit Order button is completely grayed out, so I cannot change the FFL to the new one.
The buyer is telling me that his payment won't fully process through GunTab because the FFL he originally picked is closed and is telling me that GunBroker told him to tell me that I need to update it on my end.
So I'm in a Catch-22: GunTab won't clear the payment because the FFL is closed, and GunBroker won't let me edit the order to the open FFL until the payment clears.
How do I break this deadlock? Does the buyer have to cancel his GunTab transaction so the order unlocks on my end? Or do I just have to wait out the clock and file a credit request? I don't want to proceed out of Gunbroker if at all possible for my own insurance. Thanks in advance.
Got a savage b22 fs-sv and a 22 can waiting for me at the lgs. Definitely grabbing a rossi rs22p to plink next week, saw one today and loved it, along with a 5.7mm keltec sub2k that would make a great backpack gun. Or maybe a cheap over/under next instead? Any recommendations appreciated, although my budget is limited.
