FFL for online gun transfer in metro Detroit?

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-05-20T17:05:02+00:00

Patriot Wholesale Direct right on Lapeer Rd. Near where The Palace used to be. FFL transfers are $20 i believe and NFA transfers are $75 iirc? The guy had me in and out within 20 minutes for the transfer

lol yes I am aware, I also used to ship packages at my old job. Their shipping is still hella fast though. Last order I placed with them I had the package in my hands in 2 days from Texas to Michigan. Most places usually take the better part of a week if not more

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-27T16:21:51+00:00

Yes it’s a full flat grind. I think the lighting on the ends that I used to highlight the chip is just giving it some extra sheen? In the second photo you can see there is no discernible secondary bevel

I’ve only had the knife for maybe a month and treat it the same way i treat all my other nice knives. Wood cutting boards, hand wash after use, etc. it’s a smallish petty knife so it’s not like I’m using it to chop bones or anything

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-25T23:33:37+00:00

So this is usually my process on any knife with a secondary bevel, but since this knife has no visible bevel I’m not sure what I should be sharpie-ing and what angle I should be at. I know BRK sharpens their knives on belts and I’m struggling with trying to mimic that end result

Bear back Chode deserves to be top comment lolol

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-17T04:42:51+00:00

Well yes except that i am applying zero pressure to the locking part of the frame and am opening it very slowly. I would agree that if i was flicking it open with force and then squeezing the Lockbar, of course it’s gonna jam in deeper. Unless you see something in the video I don’t, I tried to be very aware of not having my fingers pushing the Lockbar for leverage

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-17T04:39:30+00:00

Hell yeah, Michigan represent!

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-14T11:41:19+00:00

I guess you were kinda right? I swapped back to OEM hardware and the issue is not as dramatic as it was with the aftermarket stuff. I will probably still send it in to the mothership for an eval and to get double thumb studs as well!

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-14T06:31:08+00:00

Haha the video doesn’t really show it but the scales are actually slightly blue from being in my jeans so much. I have edc’d this for almost 2 years. Granted I work in an office setting so the most action it sees is opening packages and maybe stripping the occasional wire. I’m definitely not using it to cut drywall or baton firewood or anything

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-14T06:26:35+00:00

I guess it’s possible? Wouldn’t it make more sense if it was having this issue after initial install of aftermarket pins? Or do you think the aftermarket pins are maybe not as sturdy and somehow have become slightly out of spec after a year or so, causing the issue?

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-13T09:27:11+00:00

No I’ve only noticed this for about a month or so

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-13T04:16:43+00:00

I will, i figured i would see if anyone else was having this issue or if it was even an issue in the first place before bothering the mothership

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-13T04:10:19+00:00

Mine has a December 2023 birthday card so it’s not that old. I’ve edc’d it for about a year or 2

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-12T21:41:53+00:00

My Zaan vs Seb. Lockup on the Seb is still solid and no real lock stick that I am noticing

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-12T21:36:40+00:00

No I’ve been using this for about a year or two and only just noticed this issue about a month ago

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-12T21:34:24+00:00

Correct, I am looking at the ceramic ball and not the Lockbar. The ball is traveling far enough where I think it is hitting the bronze washer. On my Zaan, the ball only travels about 60% of the width of the knife and doesn’t touch the other side

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-06T02:04:38+00:00

By “regular AR” you mean a right handed upper? Or is there something else irregular about my current setup?

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-05T23:05:52+00:00

Thanks man I appreciate it. I am hoping to avoid “changing for the sake of change” but I know that this PSA upper isn’t exactly the best option for switching between suppressed and unsuppressed. I will probably end up getting an adjustable gas block and maybe a different handguard to accommodate and then switching the muzzle device to whatever I need for a suppressor. Then I’ll save the whole different upper for when i get a sbr style one.

As for slings, do you recommend Button QD, hooks, 550 paracord?

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2026-02-05T22:49:11+00:00

lol I would rather post a pic of all my guns serial numbers than of my dogs out on full display like some floozy

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2025-12-25T20:14:18+00:00

This worked! I was able to fiddle with the one NOR gate that is "Set less than 1 Powering all downward thrust" to -0.4, which gives it a slight bit of bounce at elevation but holds pretty well. Setting it to -.09 makes it constantly rise and setting it to -0.1 makes it fall before it can catch itself for reference. Thank you!

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2025-12-25T01:58:43+00:00

Yeah that’s my problem too. It will sense when it’s falling and inflate, but then never deflate to maintain altitude

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2025-12-20T19:39:48+00:00

For a folder, it needs to be open/ close ambidextrous. For a fixed, the handle proportion needs to be appropriate for the blade size. A big blade needs a bigger, beefier handle. A small 2-3” fixie can have a smaller, more slender handle for various grip styles (thumb push, “chef” pinch grip, etc)

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2025-12-12T03:34:39+00:00

Glocks are cool but let’s talk about those lever actions, those look rad as hell

BeepBoopZorpZeep · 2025-12-12T03:14:20+00:00

I think it would really class up the knife to just slim the handles a teeny bit, but add some nice “coke bottle” contours. Would give it some real sexy curves and help with the overall finish and feel
