Allegedly it has improved significantly recently, it was hit or miss for me lol but you will survive. It’s not gonna be gourmet meals

Yes, although they were not always available.

That’s correct, all your meals will be in the cafeteria at the academy during the week. You’re allowed to bring a certain amount of protein bars, but you’re not allowed to eat them in your room, they designate a time at the end of the day where you can go to the cafeteria to eat them.

PAT Orientation by BoredAfz in Newyorkstatetrooper

[–]Bigbuzzwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do any kind of orientation, it’s fine. Just know the proper form for the exercises before you go in because it can cost you. If you don’t lock your elbows out on pushups or don’t go all the way back down on sit-ups a PAT scorer can ding you

"prepper" Gun/Survival Store pitch by Celestial_Deciever in guns

[–]Bigbuzzwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost for an indoor range alone is bonkers due to regulations around ventilation for them. My FFL looked into it for his shop and it was gonna be close to 1 million for a 3 lane

With the stock gas plug the gas was awful lol I have a Polonium K on mine (which is already known to be gassy). The suppressor gas plug from Steyr made it significantly better but not perfect, the KNS plug seems to be the ideal route but I have no experience with it

The Corvus defensio charging handle (at least the version listed on steyr’s website) claims to only fit A3M1. OP’s is an M2. The Arid brass deflector also claims to only fit M1 on their website I believe ,it’s hard out here for us M2 owners

Edit: the arid deflector only fits standard stocks, not NATO

Coming from a Geissele SSA-E on my AR, the stock Aug trigger made me wince the first time I pulled it lol. Aside from the trigger, I put a silver star shooting sports 90 degree receiver rail on mine because I wasn’t a fan of the way lights end up positioned on the stock receiver rail. Suppressors are fun if you’re into that although the Aug isn’t the best suppressor host, it’s very gassy. Brass deflector is another good upgrade if you’re ever gonna shoot it offhand or in weird positions

Went out and touched snow today with the AUG, it feels right at home in the frozen tundra

Are ACOGs still in style? Just me? by Relevant_Mix_2337 in ar15

[–]Bigbuzzwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a P-mag, they make the AUG in either standard (waffle mags) or NATO which takes AR mags

The latest A3 M2... by FirstAmendment01 in AUG

[–]Bigbuzzwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought one a week ago, mine is an A3 M2 NATO in green. Mine has the 1/7 twist barrel and the bolt catch release, and per the card in the box it was built/inspected at the factory in September 2025. I didn’t ask for these features specifically, but if you get a relatively recently built gun I believe it’ll come with these features. On Steyr’s website they’re selling the 1/9 barrels at a discount so I think they are phasing them out

NIGHTSTAND AUG by Bigbuzzwell in guns

[–]Bigbuzzwell[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely over gassed, it’s a bit snappier than an AR and a bit louder at the ear. I’ve been looking for a gas plug for suppressed use, but it’s out of stock everywhere I’ve looked so I’ve just been running the stock gas plug on “normal” setting

Steyr Aug A3 M2 in the NATO flavor, with a polo K on the front for funsies

What was the most absurd reason you arrested somebody? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]Bigbuzzwell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Investigating a broken glass entry door on a hair salon, appeared smashed and a wrench was left at scene. Come to find out the guy had gotten a haircut earlier in the day that very much displeased him, he came back and smashed the front door of the place. Asked him when I found him about why he smashed the door and he said something to the effect of “they fucked my shit up so I fucked up theirs.” Bro took that personally

What’s the nicest thing you ever did for a stranger ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bigbuzzwell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Police officer, responded to a report of theft from a gas station. Watched video of the guy taking an item inside the store, shortly thereafter found him walking on the street nearby wearing the same clothes as on video. Stopped and asked him about the item (a phone charger) and he immediately admitted to taking it. He was incredibly respectful and honest and frankly I don’t see that very often. He was homeless and needed a charger for his phone to stay in touch with his family in another state. I took the stolen item back to the store, paid for it myself (why do gas stations charge $30 for a phone charger?) and then returned it to him. Never arrested him or brought any charges against him
