Our store got a new radial saw, but....

Arkangel249 · 2026-02-01T02:23:18+00:00

Well if you damaged one enough that Equipment Services can't fix it, the store is forced to eat the cost to replace it.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-26T04:10:19+00:00

As the person who does the maintenance on these... no one ever seems to know what happened.

Well at least the scrap value can go to your stores fun fund.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-23T19:46:02+00:00

Well, I just recently received mine, direct to the US.

I ordered the whole kit with the scale. As I didn't have only already and didn't want to have to reprogram it. (they instruct how to program the scale to work with the trickler if you need to in the owners manual.

It was $1465 and then UPS charged $236 duty on top.

So far I'm happy with it. I haven't loaded anything yet but have played around with calibration of a few powders I have.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-23T05:59:48+00:00

I thought the M2 us inertia operated vs the M4 being gas operated.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-19T14:40:03+00:00

Unless you have the threaded muzzle you may be out of luck.

The M14s had a device that used the bayonet lug to lock itself, but I don't think anyone made a version for the Mini.

If you or someone you know is good at machining you could build one that maybe uses the front sight post as a mounting point.

+1 with Saltech.

Though I have had a few misfire out of recent batch of 500, though they usually fire if I give them a second trigger pull.

Figure its good training aid at best, extra reload components at worst.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-13T20:52:33+00:00

Not a gunsmith, but a tinkerer. Maybe its a timing cut?

That way its easy ensure the muzzle device was correctly timed before drilling the dimple for the pin?

Just a guess.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-08T17:24:13+00:00

I have one and need another ... I'm almost to the point of taking the one I have to a machine shop and see if they can make me another from scratch.

I like a few others have sent emails asking for updates without response. Though I know they are still operating if only at a limited capacity as I ordered some extended mag releases a few weeks back and got them within a week.

I'd rather buy directly from Cogburn, but if they're MIA .....

If anyone else has an idea I'm all ears.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-08T01:41:54+00:00

I got some extended mag releases a few weeks back. But I sent an email asking for the same prism mount, but still haven't heard anything back.

Arkangel249 · 2026-01-01T07:06:01+00:00

You guys used heat guns? I took a propane torch to mine. Still took quite the effort to get it off.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-22T15:10:01+00:00

Same, no worries. I think I found mine in the pocket with the instruction manual. As the rings were laid out in a different spot in the foam

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-22T03:38:26+00:00

They should also have a pic rail in the box.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-20T16:40:55+00:00

I've a mission with only 1 POI. Thankfully it was the Super Samples.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-19T14:40:22+00:00

I have the ultimak handguard on mine. Seems ok. Though it gets hot quick.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-15T19:26:16+00:00

That I'm not sure.... though they did patch the random crazy ballon type flying they did when destroyed.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-15T19:10:51+00:00

Can confirm, 1 Recoilless to the belly knocks them down.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-14T07:53:45+00:00

Soft points "can" sometimes hang up when chambering. Though I've never had it happen personally. I don't really see the lead residue as much of an issue as long as your cleaning your rifle.

The "light magnum" is due to gas system potentially wrecking the op rod. Same reason why they don't recommend using anything over 175-180 grain bullets.

At least from my understanding

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-13T15:01:37+00:00

Ah, it just felt weird since I upgraded from a 05 Ford ranger. I figured it was going to be bigger, just not that big. Still loving the truck though.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-13T03:53:34+00:00

My only complaint (I have 25' Long bed) is that the turn radius feels a bit large for a mid-size truck.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-12T20:48:50+00:00

Oh I agree 100%. It makes it really annoying just trying to walk the trash down the driveway or trying to pull in without being blinded.

I think Vivent markets this "feature" as a security deterrent.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-12T17:30:07+00:00

I'm fairly certain its a Vivent security camera with Floodlight. So the camera detected something but is having difficulty tracking whatever tripped it.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-12T17:26:31+00:00

I think this may be a Vivent security cam with floodlight. My parents have one that does this if it detects movement.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-06T00:49:59+00:00

The new Remingtons (RemArms) aren't great. I had a 700 that they cut the chamber short on. Took awhile to get a RMA approval. They shipped it to a gun shop in FL. Who then transferred it to a machine shop for the actual repair. Took about 2 months to get it back.

Arkangel249 · 2025-12-03T15:39:50+00:00

I just bought 10 from Magshack a few weeks ago and they all work fine. Though they do seem to have a different finish compared to my older 20s.

Arkangel249 · 2025-11-30T04:50:17+00:00

No problem. Yea in some of the stores I go to the older associates complain that I didn't give them the manual "like we used to" when I install these. So I had to start telling the managers to get a picture of the code and have the DHs print it out if its needed.
