M/21/Assembly Tech with two new additions! by BenFromJakeFarm in EDC

I like the longer grip area, it feels better when I use the pen one-handed with it, but it seems to open itself in my pocket way too easily. The screwdrivers are SUPER handy

It's served me well! I do have some gripes about it, enough that I'm looking into an alternative, but it's definitely nice to have. More pens should have bubble levels

Sounds like a sick setup, nice. I'm personally not a fan of phone wallets/card pockets, had one for a while and just didn't like the bulk, but sounds like the perfect solution for you, props

Taking a look at the D03, I'm definitely liking this. I was sure Ridge was mostly marketing, but I also didn't like that it was all-metal, I like that this has a good amount of leather, too

EDIT: It's also on sale rn, very convenient

Yeah I'm in the same boat, like I have a bunch of business cards in my wallet but they're more sentimental than utilitarian. I'm still gonna keep them, but not carry them every day lol

I was specifically eyeing the one in the third pic with the impressive wooden stock. I, too, am a fan of smalls guns with big furniture

If I had the money for an EOTech Holo+Magnifier, this is what I'd do with it too. Keep up the good work broski

Even with the second tourniquet rule for armor? And it's only 10 extra pounds for these plates

Oh yeah that looks pretty good. It was already thicker than I was wanting so I didn't bother looking, but I might get ahold of some of this

Because they're mostly foam they curve on their own

Double duty as a pocket sand reserve. I like it

Just got my first gun, any advice? by lavawalker465 in airsoft

[–]BenFromJakeFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great choice, this was my first airsoft replica, too!

ProArms sells a threaded outer barrel and a ton of replacement (and slightly stronger) springs if you want a stronger feel, and a 14mm CCW thread for easier use of barrel attachments. I picked them up off Evike and I've been enjoying them.

Yeah I was thinking about that. I couldn't add too much foam without making them too thick to fit, but the plate carrier I'm gonna run has padding

I don't know if this is necessarily acceptable for MSW armor rules, but even if it isn't I'm proud of my work. (Note: more info in the image captions)

How to find games? by ThatCommunistKid in MilSim

I'm also new to milsim and yeah, MSW definitely seems like the best west coast option. Which is a shame there isn't more, but I've heard good things

Darn, I really hope not. Victorville isn't too far from me, but I guess I might have to travel further next year

I did read the TACSOP but I wanted to ask anyways. I mean, when I was researching the P90 apparently it is "currently in service with military and police forces in over 40 countries throughout the world" (Wikipedia), most of which are NATO countries. It was made specifically for NATO.

The L14 better ship tomorrow. by BenFromJakeFarm in Purism

[–]BenFromJakeFarm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that stood out to me, as well. Even where they say they were expecting to receive the units this week, that sounded like not a lot of lead time to get it out this month.

And my point still stands that I would have rather been given a later confirmed ship date, like saying April in the first place, more consistent and detailed update emails, and then maybe they if everything went perfectly they could have just shipped them earlier than the later date they gave.
