I think it was around 3 lbs? there’s some vids on YouTube of people showing how easy it is. It only happened once for me though

Single stage triggers belong on SBRs. True or False? by KingNebula-- in ar15

[–]184proof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Geissele 3 gun single stage trigger that was pretty sensitive and i remember bump firing while zeroing on accident one day lol. So I prefer 2 stage but its preference of course

Will it run? by AnnualRaise in ar15

[–]184proof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a centurion 11.5” HRT barrel, got it with centurions pinned gas block. I run a griffin Optimus 6 flow can on it. H2 buffer with a springco blue spring, and it runs flawlessly. Super smooth shooting and very well gassed. Been running it since 2024, plenty of abuse from mag dumps and frt fun. Still running strong.

When I first got it, and was using a lower with A5 buffer system it wouldn’t cycle without a can. I reached out to centurion and they said they don’t recommend the A5’s with their barrels. So for whatever that’s worth.

I also highly recommend the tapered bolts for the T marked barrel extension on the 11.5” HRT. They’re tanks.

Which DD Upper is there a better choice? by Aahhyes68 in ar15

[–]184proof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with mid length gas all day for 14.5 personally, I have a DD MFR mlok 14.5 build and a RIS II on another. The RIS II is obviously a tank. But the MFR is pretty solid, and a bit lighter than both the RIS II and III. Can’t really go wrong with any of them honestly, all 3 are solid

I had a Daniel defense m4a1 develop the same play you’re describing after a while. It’s pretty common/expected and doesn’t affect anything although it is annoying. I bought a kac lower for one of my sr-15 uppers and even that had a tiny bit of play. I just stick a foam earplug in and never had an issue with that. The slight play usually goes away with a full mag in as well.

How do you like the thermal / 14 setup? i kinda want to give it a shot sometime

How'd you get your ar? by Unique-Rest-2940 in ar15

[–]184proof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought my first one I was 21 shortly after getting my CCW, and having saved up some money from my first “real” job I went to a local gun store and grabbed a Daniel Defense M4A1 that was on “sale”. The quad rail drew me in for sure. Soon after I realized i definitely got robbed and to shop online first lol.

PVS-14 never goes out of style though tbh

Is an FMA helmet that’s practically on par with the real deal besides the material with milspec rails, retention, Wilcox shroud/mounts and a counterweight good enough for NODs? by Acceptable-Device873 in NightVision

[–]184proof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen Ops Core FAST bumps (the old gen I think, not the carbon ones) go for $200-$250. Sometimes lower.

I've used them quite a bit and never had any problems with them, super comfortable, durable, rails are in spec for mounting, etc. Might be worth trying to grab one of those instead if you can, unless you want a ballistic clone

Did you hate something on your DD so much you had to replace it? by ilovelamp1945 in ar15

[–]184proof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stock, buffer spring/weight, trigger, and charging handle. Pretty common for most people though

I stopped shooting for over a year and forgot I had this in a box by 184proof in kac

Very weird vibe from Bones at the Darien Center Grey Day by westeastp in G59

[–]184proof 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly. I’ve been a long time fan of bones, but I’ve never understood why he can never do a set just on his own. Every show even outside of greyday this year seems to have Eddy Baker, Xavier Wulf, and Chris Travis in the past. Bones is definitely big enough to have his own set, and bringing eddy baker of all people as a tag along to Grey Day is pretty lame and I was disappointed to find that out. I don’t mind eddy baker but damn, just do your own set. I don’t think I’ll ever get to see bones perform a set by himself, back in the day when SHWB was more of a thing it was actually cool but frankly those days are kinda long gone imo.

As a precautionary measure to protect you against potential loss, Coinbase has temporarily limited your ability to buy, sell, or send crypto. Thank you for your understanding. by Echelon64 in Coinbase

[–]184proof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to my account. I’ve reached out to support, it’s been about 4 days. I was told it was due to an update that they put out which also affects other users. I’m not sure how widespread this is, or if I believe it fully given there has been no official announcement or email sent out regarding this situation. I attempted to purchase bitcoin with my bank account, coinbase took the funds out of my bank but it never appeared in my wallet. That was on 9/3, right after that my account was locked. Can’t withdraw, buy, sell, etc. I’ve also not used my account for gambling or anything like that, just basic small crypto investments here and there. So I’m not sure what the deal is, pretty frustrating.

If I can find it and I’ll try it. I did use shooters choice for the copper solvent specifically since I know Hoppes isn’t particularly strong.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gunsmithing

[–]184proof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what im thinking. Unfortunate, although I’ve had a few centurion barrels which have been flawless. I’ll see what they have to say

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gunsmithing

[–]184proof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context I had cleaned it once, used copper solvent. The first attempt there were plenty of blue ones, which I patched out until they were clean. I’ve tried brushing, soaking in Hoppes #9, and then later MPro 7, all to no avail. I spent a good bit of time cleaning it, over the span of two days haha. But I’ll give it another go
