Post from a month or so ago was just the completed lower. I was able to acquire an 18" Aero FDE upper w/ Faxon gunner barrel/ AGB and a nice 1-4 Steiner on GAFS for a total of 1050, that includes complete upper and Steiner px4i with an ADM mount.
This thing slaps. And it wasn't doing any wonky shit like my first AR10 that took 10 years to dial in!
Thanks GAFS! Saved me about 750 bucks if I would've bought brand new.
I had a 2 stage FCG thats been laying around forever and I'm honestly not even sure what brand it is because I got it at least a decade ago as a LPK but opted for a drop in.
Just recently finished a lower and put in a milspec trigger and hammer. Functions great at the range. Tonight I decided to swap over for the 2 stage since this is a 20" and I wanted to get a DMR style setup going hence trying to swap to the 2 stage.
I installed it and did a function test, it will not release the hammer with selector on fire.
Single stage works just fine, this 2 stage does not.
Any ideas?
I have never had an HSA account since I've never really had any major medical problems in my life. But now I am almost 35 and have a wife and 2 hear old daughter who goes to doctor and dentist check ups frequently.
I'm also planning on getting a lot of dental work done this year so that's another reason I'm looking more into an HSA.
Should I get one? How much do you usually put in per pay period? 10 bucks? 30 bucks? What all can it be used for besides co-pays? Does it roll over each year? And what if I never end up using it or have a balance left over if I leave this current job? Do I get a debit card or something?
I have so many questions. I have a few more weeks to make changes to my benefits before they lock in.
Any advice and input is greatly appreciated!
Just finished a 20" build, my first one. I wanted a 20" for a long time and decided to do retro. Found a 1980s A1 pre-ban upper online made by Dixie/Kaiser. Came with triangle A1 stock and ribbed A2 stock.
Which one slaps more? My end goal is to put an old Aimpoint on the carry handle and do a Blackhawk Down build but I kinda like the triangle stock for the vibes. Should I just keep triangle and run red dot like that?
Also, this thing fucks at the range. Super accurate. I had to almost max out the rear sight to get it zeroed but it works.
Had a pipe pinhole behind the walls upstairs sometime last week and we didnt notice it until a few days had passed. Plumber made some cuts downstairs and upstairs to find and fix the leak.
Drywall crew is coming in sometime today and I just noticed that the edge of the ceiling has now separated around the entire kitchen area. Should all of this be cut out and replaced too?
We live in a townhome so we have a maintenance team and all freak accidents like this are covered under our lease. But these people seem like they do the bare minimum of work to get the repair "done".
My question is should we press them to do a legit fix on where its separating, and should we be worried about all the water damage that we don't see/ future mold growth.
We had airmovers running all weekend upstairs and downstairs to dry out the inside. But I'm not convinced that these repairs they plan on doing will be enough. Shit they won't even replace the microwave even after all that nasty subfloor water got all inside the internals of the microwave and inside the main box where you heat stuff up.
What would be the legit course of action here?
Picking up a new 365 XMacro after work tomorrow. Throwing a 507k Holosun and a Streamlight TLR 7-sub on it and looking for any good holster recommendations that aren't insanely expensive. I've already spent enough lol.
I prefer 4 o clock IWB carry with a hard plastic case with single belt clip and belt claw attached. I'm still not on the appendix carry Peter deleter bandwagon yet.
Throw out some good brands that you vouch that have good retention with a light attachment.
Thanks!
I'm trying to put this lower together and I just realized this trigger guard is way off on alignment. I pulled out a different unfinished lower and noticed that the ear tabs are machined way differently to the one I'm trying to put in. I've never seen this before and I've done quite a few lower receivers.
Can this be fixed? Do I need a sleek type of trigger guard or something? Or does the receiver or guard need to be ground down?
I'm gonna be pissed if the lower is the issue. I had this one laser engraved with a custom serial number and my name.
I only have 150 rounds through this and my chamber is all chewed up already. It looks like this all around the circumference of the chamber. Is this normal? My other 556 ARs with 1000+ rounds don't look like this at all.
Aero bcg and Odin SS barrel/chamber.
Is the different hardness from the bolt and the chamber to blame or am I severely overgassed?
Any feedback appreciated. Thanks!
Got some steel mags that won't fit in any of my AKs.
It is really hard to lock into place, and then I have to pull the tab back as far as possible to shove it back out.
Should I file down the front or rear tab of the magazine?
I'm thinking about filing down the rear, the front fits fine. Its the rear that needs to be smacked into the latch.
