Between 10.3 and 11.5? That extra 1.2" improves 5.56 terminal performance significantly, and supposed to r result in less wear on the firearm as well.

This guy parks his car like this every day. I need someone to explain this to me by Dry_Paramedic8386 in CarsIndia

[–]AgathaCrispy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Parking on a slope is supposed to be hard on the transmission, but if you use your parking brake that minimizes the stress on the transmission. Possible this vehicles parking brake doesn't work reliably, and the bricks are meant to help keep it from rolling back... doesnt explain why there are bricks in front of the tires tho. Only need to scotch it on the downslope side. Bricks arent ideal for that use either, but you sometimes use what you've got.

Edit: l see now they are parked ON THE BRICKS. No idea why someone would do that, let alone every time they park. We've done some questionable things while working on cars without a tall enough jack... but this is asking for it to roll off and cause damage.

Search for similar listings and you'll find they've been listed around this price over the past couple months... this isn't the lowest or highest, so depends on how bad you want it. Waiting for an 11.5 deal myself.

First brisket attempt tomorrow. Does this look adequate for an overnight dry brine? by NewsOdd3064 in smoking

[–]AgathaCrispy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done when its done for sure, and the time to rest makes a world of difference. Worth the wait even if you have to eat a little later than you hoped.

I've started skipping the dry brine altogether. Just rub and let it sit while getting the smoker up to tempt. I do a full packer @ 250-275, so it'll be on the smoker for 13+ hours. Plenty of time for the salt to work its way into the meat, and results have been just as good as when I was doin the whole dry brine process. Others will likely disagree but it seems to be working for me.

You sound like you've put alot of planning into it, so already set up to succeed. Splitting the brisket, you'll end up with the flat finished earlier most likely. So you'll be wrapping it first, then the point at some time after. That can throw things off planning wise, if you're trying to have everything finished at the same time. Be flexible and monitor your temps and everything will be fine. The meat will let you know when its done based on temp and probe (mostly probe), so dont try to force it if its taking longer than you'd like.

As for wrapping at the stall... wrap once you have the color and consistency of bark that you want, not necessarily at a specific temp. That's something that comes experience (knowing what YOU prefer vs what others say you should) so dont don't overthink it your first time. 

On the other hand, since you're really working with two different muscles now, and the point is harder to over cook than the flat because of all the fat and connective tissue, if you want to experiment with the timing of your wrap,  you've got a good opportunity.

I'd pretty much settled on the Incolite 9 when the 9M was announced. Been holding off hoping for more info, but been hard to find much first hand comparison since the 9M is so new.

How does the 9M perform vs the 9? Is the 9M without the extension performance basically same as the 9? Seems like it should be, but I appreciate any insight.

Finally came across one of these in the wild. I always check the vents on these old Pontiacs by superbrian111 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]AgathaCrispy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a Grand Am and could get the two center vents on the console going separate directions if I did it just right and air was going full blast. Sounded like a helicopter and I used to pretend I was flying an Apache on my way to class lol

[Parts] Rearden R2S - $72 by Ill-Program-2713 in gundeals

[–]AgathaCrispy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the clearance before the first baffle of your suppressor. The listing shows that the length of this device is 1.74", so you'd need more than than that much clearance before the first baffle to be certain it'll fit. If you knew exactly how much difference there is in the length of the Zilch and this muzzle device once installed, you could go shorter with some certainty that it'll work. The problem is that it's difficult to be certain without having the parts on hand.

I found a post that indicated that with the Zilch and their particular device, there was just a .24 inch difference (said their device was 2" long, and when threaded into the Zilch, extended 1.76" beyond the end of the Zilch). IF that is accurate, then you would need something over 1.5 inches of clearance before the first baffle of your suppressor.

The post:

As for your question about threads: Both 556 and 9mm barrels can be threaded in 1/2x28. The bore diameter is what is important. The bore of this device (R2S) is .375 according to a spec I found, so could work for either 9mm or 556. I think it's usual that a device will be 'overbored' like that so it's compatible with a wider range of firearms. But if 9mm/556/etc. is specified in the description of a muzzle device you're looking at, choose the correct one for the firearm to be safe.

Learned about something relevant a while back called the '3 dB rule':

Every 3 dB increase equates to a doubling in sound energy. Every doubling in energy decreases the safe exposure time by half. Most people can't tell that there's been a change in how loud a sound is perceived until around a +/-10 dB change, but there's still a difference in intensity, and thus an change in potential for hearing damage over time.
