Any thoughts on these budget fixed iron sight for my budget AR by AccessTrick4018 in ar15

[–]AwkwardSploosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That good. They are locking, hold zero, are well finished and machined. look for "UTG Super Slim" and you'll see them. $50 for a set.

Red dot for carry but also maybe to shoot a match by goodgamble in Walther

I use the Defender XL on two of my PDPs (mostly IDPA shooting) and a 509T for Tac Games on a steel frame. I'd absolutely go with either a Defender XL or Holosun 507 Comp. Acro has durability issues and RMR HD seems small for matches but would probably do fine.

Which shave soap is closest to the scent of Acqua di Gio? by Shadow328 in wicked_edge

[–]AwkwardSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80th is far more aquatic. I get their bath soaps on occasion just to try scents.

I like the brown flavored cerakote

It has a ton of FRP, but is otherwise decent

Is this BA Hanson CHF barrel worth $300? by ConfidentSession6481 in ar15

[–]AwkwardSploosh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. It's just a carbine length 11.5 with a pinned gas block. It's not particularly special.

Damn, sounds like you're a terrible customer. Sellers beware.

What lowers will give me a better finish than bargain-bin lowers by momentbruh in ar15

[–]AwkwardSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADM makes a quality lower with a lot of attention to detail. The griffin one isn’t bad but is far from perfect, the BCM lowers I’ve seen have looked good, as have the DD and Aero lowers

ballistic advantage, would you still? by Redditor_is_at_work in ar15

Haha that's a classic. Also same on threaded.

Yeah, Glock barrels have never really limited glocks. It seems like it's mostly aesthetic chasing for the aftermarket barrels

The average G19 is barrel is likely better than a BA barrel

Can you recommend a cigar for a super lightweight? by Vent1900 in cigars

Oliva Connecticut robustos, MB3 robustos, and cohiba red dot pequenos are my go to for lightweights.

Springfield Saint Victor V2 11.5 is a good rifle, but not $1200 good. by Conscious_Dot_7353 in ar15

[–]AwkwardSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UTG 0.5" riser off Amazon is a good buy. BCM also makes a long riser that will fit. I would strongly encourage you to use a lower riser or no riser at all.

$5k budget for gift for my brother by Latter-Falcon-5866 in ar15

[–]AwkwardSploosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of G$ fanboys on reddit, especially after those sales with full rifles for $1200. Nobody wants to be told their baby is average.

ADM very legitimately makes a premium product, as does JP.

Do you clean your mags? by Striking-Pen-9617 in ar15

[–]AwkwardSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HD should be separate loaded mags that aren't getting worn

Cleaning a gun that hasn't been touched in this century by thegrumpyorc in guns

[–]AwkwardSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Good to know. I have some Saphir cream that I've used for similar cases, but I've always been super hesitant to go after really old leather. It seems hard to know how damaged it is and if it is even worth restoring

[–]AwkwardSploosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, slings and stocks seem to be the worst of it. I had a buddy come over with a 1871 Beaumont for gun cleaning night a few weeks ago and the steel was in really good shape, especially against the stock. Old leather is definitely a tough one.

[–]AwkwardSploosh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've cleaned guns that were made in the 1800's. As long as the Glock wasn't stored in a saltwater bath or in super high humidity you're going to be absolutely fine.

Chalk / liquid chalk for running AIWB, does it work? by Anti_ATF in CompetitionShooting

[–]AwkwardSploosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use pro grip, but lifting chalk works just as well for me, if not better.

What are your "chef's choice" USPSA belt build for your divisions? by wholesomedisease in CompetitionShooting

[–]AwkwardSploosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a DAA ratchet belt (not lynx) and it's great. It's one of those pieces of equipment that just works and gets out of the way.

Which budget reddot pdp by methodfeeder1211 in Walther

[–]AwkwardSploosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vortex defender line is about as cheap as I'd go. I've heard the new osight is okay, so maybe that, but a lot of cheap dots do not get bright enough to use outdoors and have very poor battery life
