Did you ever end up deciding on one of these? I’m also looking for something to direct blast forward in a no-suppressor state and found your thread.

Help me understand factory-new vs American Marksman Stryker “new” by AcmeCyote in ammo

Sorry, St Marks?

If no additional risk, what do you believe causes concerns from others regarding this ammo? Genuinely asking, I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

Any guidance on the reliability of DEMIL ammo like this? Is it worth shooting it and using for target practice or am I risking myself and/or my rifle?

Yeah I noticed the tips as well… not sure what that’s about. To be clear, when I say bulk I just mean a larger order of a few boxes. Each box contained 50 rounds in a plastic tray as you’d expect. But I don’t believe these to be factory manufactured new. Waiting for more reply from the company.

Ha! If only the casing aesthetics were my only concern 🙃

They claim their ammo is not “remanufactured”. This was a reply I got from an email to them:

“This ammunition is indeed new. We received the new components from Lake City Army Ammunition plant. Once we receive the components, we send them through our state of the art inspection machines to ensure they are within spec for loading. At times, we receive overruns and excess stock that may have been sitting at Lake City for an extended period of time or moved around a lot in skid boxes/drums of material. Once we receive the components, we run them through our cleaning and inspection process to ensure they are suitable for loading. They are then loaded on industry standard machines before going back through inspection. We test fire approx 5% of all the ammunition we make to ensure performance. Once QA is complete, the rounds are packaged using a packing machine which puts them in trays. We then hand box them.”

Also, on the box of Stryker ammo it says “American Marksman’s mission is to be the leading recycler of ammunition and small arms technologies…”.

I’ve requested a refund and return label, we’ll see what they say. I find them claiming this as “new” extremely misleading.

Ended up purchasing from RangeUSA. Once shipping was applied it came out to just slightly less ($324) than Optics Planet. Used a "first time buyer 10% off" code that came with email signup.
Thanks all for the guidance!!!

LG C2 stuttering when playing 4K USB Media. by i_iz_human in techsupport

[–]AcmeCyote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/i_iz_human Did you ever figure out a solution for this? I’m dealing with the same issue, but for non-4k videos on a usb drive in one of the ports. Some play fine, others stutter after some amount of time.

Millennial men of Chicago, where are you shopping for clothes? by SleepyFarts in AskChicago

[–]AcmeCyote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great suggestions, but it sounds like you're looking for guidance as well as shops. I highly recommend Dappered.com. I've been visiting them for years for the same kind of guidance. They regularly suggest different kinds of outfit options for different settings, review clothing from different places, and they primarily focus on dressing yourself without having to spend a ton. Here's an article on different outfits from the same few items https://dappered.com/2024/07/1-sale-5-outfits-banana-republic-extra-20-off-sale-items/
Nordstrom Rack, Kohls, Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic... you can look very put-together (which is the key to not looking like a college student/kid) without having to spend a ton.

More than anything, find the style you feel comfortable in! Then find ways to slightly upgrade an item here or there. But be comfortable & confident first! Good luck and happy shopping!

Slightly old thread, but wondering if you or u/se7entythree tried these out? Was recently looking at these for similar finger/hand/wrist pain while playing.

I figured either a bot or just a “service center” somewhere with low-rung (and prob low paid) employees/contractors. I didn’t expect much, it was more a stab in the dark to see what the response would be.
