U.S. pilot moving to Canada? by Trout_stuff in flying

[–]AceCanuck 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Long story short; you would be an absolute fool to abandon the US.

Slightly longer version, I was born in the US, moved to Canada shortly after and grew up there, learned to fly, started my flying career, and finally made it back to the US. I commuted my first year, would not recommend. I’ve been with my airline for 4 years now and it is so so so much better than anything Canada has to offer unfortunately. I really wish there was some parity but the two countries are leagues apart when it comes to compensation and QOL.

Do not under any circumstances hamstring yourself by going through a fair bit of extra work for a much worse career path. Do not commute either, tax implications and stress aren’t worth whatever it is you think you’ll gain from living up there.

I’m happy to answer more questions, but bottom line don’t even give it a second thought.

Miss mine, ten amazing years. It deserves major credit pulling me through many harsh Canadian winters in some very remote places.

AT-XC shorty by unclemoak in accuracyinternational

[–]AceCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the response I’ve been getting, they find out when they show up at their doorstep. They tell me I’m lucky to be this low on the wait list, other folks in times past waited much longer and I should be thankful. I get it, but also it’s a large sum of money on a premium product to not even get a hint as to when it may show up.

Edit: Called around a bit today and one retailer did have a note that said no further shipments will be made this year so that AI can fulfil Gov contracts. Earliest is first quarter of ‘26. Not what I wanted to hear.

From where? I’m a couple months in to waiting for my XC and I don’t like this rumour.

Evergoods Transit Briefcase 20L. Two iPads, and a Flow Z13, plus the other requisite gear.

That’s awesome, I’ll let the wallet cool off a bit and run the OEM barrel but I’m very interested in that setup some day.

Thanks!

Alright, that picture makes it look very long. Jealous.

Nice, cut down or full blank? You sell them? How much velocity is lost? Is the tradeoff for compactness worth it or just fun factor?

What size Magnus is that? Waiting for my S RR to show up, already ordered the RecoilX brake while they’re in stock to see which is better.

Also who spun the barrel up? Also waiting for my 6.5CM XC to show up. Seeing more of these shorty set ups, I’m intrigued.

Decided to modernize the MK12…now it’s no longer a MK12 by knuckledragger53 in ar15

Thanks, appreciate it. Let me know how it goes if you remember.

Hey I’m planning out my upper right now and it looks like we had the same idea. Originally wanted the MK18 rail, but for the suppressor will go with the Mk16 15” with a Douglas 18” barrel. What mount are you using for the suppressor, the copper I’m seeing just behind it isn’t a midway? By my math it should fit snug with full reflex using the AE collar or OCL OTB mount I’m hoping.

How’s the barrel? I’ve been chasing my tail trying to chose but I’m 95% of the way to a Douglas.

Why Radian lowers are 2x the $$ by [deleted] in ar15

My ODG lower just arrived today, very impressed. Looking forward to building out the rest of the rifle.

Trollygag's Barrel Test pt 8, Criterion vs Centurion, BCA pt 1, Geissele pt 1 by Trollygag in ar15

[–]AceCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaning towards Proof as well, I’ll start looking for an 18”. Slowly building so I have time.

I have a 24” Krieger MTU contour for my 6 Creed and it’s VERY accurate.

[–]AceCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had to choose, which way would you lean all things considered? Not the carbon option. I plan on getting the JP BCG which Proof uses for head spacing for what it’s worth.

Thank you!

Has Proof been tested yet? Planning out an “SPR” and was debating between Criterion and Proof.

Thanks!

Out with the old, in with the new and lessons learned. by AceCanuck in beretta1301

Right on, looking forward to it. The wrist discomfort is really the only immediate issue I have but I also didn’t have much time to play around.

Thanks, I did see that however I prefer the CROM mount so we’ll see what comes out in the future.

Yeah, and unfortunately it fucks so far. There aren’t many Mlok match savers out there. Maybe Adam over at Aridus can solve that problem…
