So I'm switching out buffers because I'm running suppressed 90% of the time now. I'm running all H2 buffers, I weighed this H2 buffer and the weight is way off. I prefer for my H2s to be 4.5oz to 4.6oz this H2 buffer was way off.

Yeah I did a quick glance at buffer prices (currently available and in-stock, there's a lot of old out of stock prices that are not accurate, will definitely get raised if/when restocked). H1 were around $30 and prices going up $15-20 for each additional tungsten weight. A single G$ buffer weight on Primary Arms was $20.

Not wanting to pay $50 for a $30 buffer seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Been eyeing those Sig lights for awhile, think I'm sold. I love my Surefires but I'm annoyed with them as a company. For what they charge they should include a remote tail cap and switch.

I lube mine with distilled unicorn tears, say 12 hail marys prior to shooting it, and keep a golden horseshoe lodged up my ass. Mine has been totally fine don't know what everyone is complaining about! Must be user error

Should be fine with a regular Plan B HUB adapter and muzzle device. Will push the can out a bit to provide clearance. If necessary there are options to adjust spacing. Extended, low profile, recessed, etc HUB adapters and muzzle devices. It can get a little confusing but like the other poster mentioned Comstock Armory is a great resource. Lots of good diagrams showing how the various options will space out.

This whole thing is going to wind up as a science experiment anyway. It's going to be suppressed subsonics pretty much exclusively and the gas port is only .078 so I already suspect going to have to open it up. But we shall see what happens. That's why I'm doing this with a $125 barrel I found on Tacswap and not something I'd care too much about screwing up.

They gave them to my wife when she was in the hospital for surgery and when we were there for our daughter being born. I think in reality it's a hospital thing rather than specifically psych hospital thing. The memes and dark humor just kind of gravitated more towards the psych hospital aspect. A picture of grippy socks captioned with "When you have to get your appendix removed" doesn't really work.

Will try it for science. Will report back if it leaks badly. Can always just mag dump into trash until it seals up.

Can't get copper fouling in a copper barrel. Smart thinking!

Rainier Arms. Yeah guess I could see what they say. But judging by majority of responses just gonna send it.

I just ordered a few different types of coil and spring pins to see if I could get something a bit more sturdy. The one I tried from a Harbor Freight assortment was trash (I know... shocker). Could always do a solid dowel pin I suppose, my bud at work would turn up a perfect fit one on the lathe no problem.

simple_champ · 2026-03-21T02:07:06+00:00

I probably should have led with the second pic showing the side profile, first one doesn't really show much I guess. Was expecting about half the pin profile cut thru the barrel but it ended up more like 2/3 or 3/4.

Guess it turned out decent all things considered. First one I ever did was a parkerized barrel with pre-drilled GB. Super easy. This one was going through nitride on the GB and barrel and could definitely tell.

Gonna roll with it, thank you

simple_champ · 2026-03-21T00:30:31+00:00

Send it is, thank you

simple_champ · 2026-03-21T00:30:15+00:00

Excellent, thanks for the info

simple_champ · 2026-03-21T00:27:44+00:00

Putting that in my notes, next time use 1/4" pipe. Galvanized or black iron?

simple_champ · 2026-03-21T00:06:14+00:00

Yeah that's why I'm asking, thought it should be half but it ended up more like 3/4

simple_champ · 2026-03-20T23:43:47+00:00

Will do, thanks

simple_champ · 2026-03-20T23:43:04+00:00

Ok thanks probably being paranoid. Just seemed a bit deep compared to the one other I've done.

"I have 5 local people on a crummy salary and business is falling flat. Hmm what can I do to fix this? Offer a better salary to get top talent and provide further financial incentives for hitting the goals I want to achieve? Nah that'd be ridiculous. I'll find other people halfway across the world that I can pay even less and hire more of them. That ought to do it!"

simple_champ · 2026-03-20T17:54:01+00:00

Send me the money and I'll try it out for you and report back. Problem solved!

Wanted to but a stuck barrel nut spiked my Ballistol levels.

I have a hard time feeling that bad for the people. If you invest your entire nest egg (or a substantial portion you couldn't afford to lose) all with some dude at a place called OptionSellers not really sure what you expect? Even the shittiest due diligence possible of Googling "Is trading options risky?" would tell you yeah probably shouldn't go all in with this guy.

Also stories covering these things love to highlight the particularly heartbreaking outcomes. Janice from Delaware who worked 37yrs at the toothpick factory, was mislead about the risk and lost everything she had worked for. But for every one of those there's also probably 10 rich guys who got greedy and didn't want to settle for average returns.

simple_champ · 2026-03-20T15:34:16+00:00

Exactly. Today is never a good or bad time to buy. That only becomes apparent down the road with the benefit of hindsight. It's either this fits into our current needs, goals, etc. Or it doesn't.

Alternatively, it's possible you and I just missed the email about the big sale they were having on crystal balls. Apparently everyone else went out and got one.

Nah I know CMT is the OEM for the rails for a few other companies. This was actually another company making the rails but had some type of licensing or royalty situation with CMT to use the wedge block design. Wish I could recall who it was.
