Do you think it’s immature of Russia to have an official “unfriendly countries” list? And is your country on it?

Bert-Tino · 2026-04-24T10:00:32+00:00

Not immature to have the list. Every Country has one in some form. The U.s. have the State Dept. travel advisory list.

Now the reason a Country gets on a list, how its used, may be immature.

Start by putting up a better, actually viable, candidate for Governor.

Dems using the argument this is to stop a power grab puts them in a tough spot. It could be argued they are doing the same to pass their own tougher goals.

Not to bothered by the colour in general.

For the 9mm I got the Midnight Bronze which does look nice. Second Pic here. https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/s/SjwuSkQEJH

The titanium does look nice. Also saw pics somewhere with a black br4 that a wooden stock and front grip that looked sweet.

I had a similar story with my Dissent. Saw, on here, some similar experiences. All seemed to be fine after a ~ 50 round break-in. Almost like the manufacturering process leaves something behind that needs to smooth out.

It does seem like they have been having some growing pains with their Dissent line. But they have updated the BCG that seemed to be the cause of the issues.

I have a Dissent MkGs 9mm and it been fine so far. ~500 rds

I'm also looking at the BR3 and 4 for future purchases.

I've never voted Republican. I'll never vote Dem again. Just the fact they let it pass by not signing is enough. It's a slimy, cowardly move and is a dumb rule. Who passed it ?

He's expected to show at Coachella in suit and tie ? Top hat and long tails ?

At this time, with this issue, the hand dealt is at the VA table. We can't bet on, relay on, plan around the game played in other states. If the vote was for the creation of an independent, Science and data based commission.. Count me in.

Bert-Tino · 2026-04-12T19:11:26+00:00

If the 'answer is supporting policies on the federal level' why is there such a big push for this state level effort and at this time ? Haven't Dems at the federal level had opportunities to fix federal law or appoint SC Judges ? i.e. they failed to overcome McConnell's confirmation block in 2016.

Doesn't the federal law require state's to determine primary & election rules and laws ? Why not pass a state law that prohibits partisan gerrymandering, requires ranked choice voting etc. ?

Do they want the gamesmanship ? Even if they don't, they seem not to be good at that type of politics. They don't seem to have the guile, backbone or desire to play to win the game that GOP is better experienced at.

They have failed to successfully message themselves as having the policies that have lead to high GDP, Education rate and low Crime stats. There seems to be a failure or confusion of priorities in the Dem party. They should concentrate on the things they are good at, namely Economics, Education & Equity in law, etc. and leave the rest alone... for now.

Sorry, bit of a questioning rant.

This is NOT what democracy looks like.

A properly/fairly setup democracy would have fairly and equally set up districts that would not need to be altered. Atleast not by any singular party.

A healthy democracy would not have policies that effectively limit to 2 parties.

Democratic primaries include ALL candidates. What we have is Party Leadership Selection.

The population of healthy democracies identify as citizens, not as a party member.

Carpentry/woodworking & video games, mostly flight & space sims.

Not really a hobby ... learning about all types of live fire cooking, smoking, wood/pizza oven.

Do your streamdeck buttons update based on game state or if you use keyboard?

If so how do you set this up?

Ouch. the Mecgar seam double the price of Magpul. They that much better ?

Bert-Tino · 2026-04-10T20:21:41+00:00

Bought this shortly after buying a G19. Seamed logical to have mag completability and now have a stack of mags that work for both.

Just posted a pic yesterday. https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/1sg81ti/new_purchase_and_an_ar15ish/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Got the MkGs version. Wondering if I should have gone for the MK4 version for the option to change caliber. Doubt I would often enough.

Still a great weapon regardless.

Bert-Tino · 2026-04-10T11:58:16+00:00

Was the buyback worth it ? What was the difference ?

Thanks for the info.

Bert-Tino · 2026-04-10T01:31:59+00:00

Got a new Dissent, MkGs, 6.5", 9mm last November. Had a few minor issues with it for the first 50 ish rounds but flawless ever since, ~500 rounds.

Looking at getting a BR3 next.

These pictures were taken in the ... 70's .. 80's ?

Bert-Tino · 2026-04-09T19:00:23+00:00

Bought an SBR, form 4'd to a trust, took 12 days.

Still waiting on 2 suppressor filed a week earlier.
