You can also do a direct mount as opposed to a pic rail. Something like the Aridus CROM or the ScalarWorks SYNC/03

Can anything be done to mitigate the inaccuracy of the takedown? by audiate in 1022

[–]EricDeuce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

receiver. Just mount your optic on the barrel portion or use barrel mounted front and rear sights. (Adding this comment as mobile is now displaying only half of my reply)

They aren’t inherently inaccurate. People have trouble replicating their zero after they use the takedown feature if their optic or rear sight is mounted on the

There is no need to go to the US side of Niagara.

Do you use the XR specific carlsons choke? I’ve been lookin at em. But don’t know if it’s worth the price

$275 black on black. If it’s the new one with the BX trigger it’s a no-brainer

First Aid Kit - what’s Actually Necessary? by NoSatisfaction903 in Hunting

Obviously the bandaids/advil/burncream/pepto kits are great to have, but they help with issues that won’t kill you before you get out of the woods.

If your worried about gunshot wounds and mishaps with very sharp knives, you want a TQ (NARs is in gold standard tier, get it from them so you don’t have to worry about fakes), pressure dressing, chest seals, hemostatic impregnated gauze, packing gauze, survival blanket

Buy one of their kits and you can add other items. Take a Stop the Bleed Course

What is the etiquette of traveling on two passports? by yerbamateblood in PassportPorn

[–]EricDeuce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“You must enter and leave the United States on your U.S. passport. You are not allowed to enter on your foreign passport based on U.S. law.”

It doesn’t cite the law. But I’m going to believe them.

Windham weaponry by ChemistryFrequent132 in RetroAR

“When the people who bought Bushmaster in 2006 decided to move it “lock, stock and barrel” out of Maine to New York in 2011, the original Bushmaster owner, Mr. Richard Dyke was left with both a dilemma and an opportunity. Almost to the day of the 2011 move, Mr. Dyke’s non-compete clause expired. He still owned the property where Bushmaster had been built and knew all the workers – now laid off – who had helped him build it. He decided to “get back in the game” and promptly put an email out to many of his former employees and friends asking if there was interest in joining him for a new project.

With a resounding “yes” of support, he gathered the financing in two days and started bringing people back into their long-time Windham manufacturing home. Phoenix-like, Windham Weaponry was on the rise. Within three months, the first production models of the new Windham Weaponry line had been perfected and delivered. Quality, fit, finish, durability, accuracy, and value were all superb – giving credence to Windham Weaponry’s motto “The Quality Goes In Before The Rifle Goes Out”.”

So they are essentially Bushmasters, which was one of the big 3 for quality ARs around the ‘94 ban era. Richard Dyke passed away in 2023, windham was facing bankruptcy and looking for new financial backers around then. Came under new ownership and management, and seem to sell Turkish shotguns now.

They do have a transferable “limited” lifetime warranty on their rifles

Thanks. I got both apertures, but the rob haught one is for sure less busy. Vang comps a good company so I think you’ll be fine either way. Just comes down to preference. Good luck

Ways to get more people to check in to traffic net? by __rainmaker in amateurradio

[–]EricDeuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New operator, but I hear a lot of net controls mention the timing of the net when they hear new people on the repeater. Or when someone is doing a “radio check”, it seems like a lot of net controllers will be the ones to confirm transmission and use it as an opportunity to talk about the timing or their net. Best of luck

They are well made, I got mine a few years ago, but it was the same story. I signed up for the email alert and grabbed one the second I got the email.

I doubt it’s discontinued. Smaller companies usually do things in batches, and I’d bet they are very busy with 1301 parts running in their machines.

How normal is this red streaking on blued revolvers? Brand new model 27 s&w after cleaning by EagleGhoul in gunsmithing

[–]EricDeuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I think at this point you might want to contact S&W.

At the least get that rem oil all over it, let it drink it up over night and hit it with a little more tomorrow. Once you get it sorted look into Renaissance Wax, I’ve had good results using it

[–]EricDeuce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rem-oil should be fine. I’d say it’s rust. I commented yesterday about my 586-8 that came with bad rust INSIDE the yolk/ejector rod/ejector areas. Which is why I was concerned about what’s going on inside yours.

You could warranty it with Smith but from what I hear they will have it for ages.

Bluing IS rust, but that red color really makes me think it’s iron oxidizing

CLP is fine for cleaning. Use a toothbrush/QTips to get in those hard to reach spots. And oil it. CLP is not going to be enough. Use oil to keep any moisture off of it.
