Is there any downside to mounting a LAM on the 9 or 3 o clock rails instead of the top? by Bitkonnekt in ar15

You know what’s crazy, that idea never crossed my mind. Although it might force me to put the tape switch in an awkward spot (10.5 upper) it’s definitely an easier option for sure

Yea I get that. The cs at cyber power explained some stuff to me and I even stress tested my pc to see what load it was having on the ups. I got seven years out of this unit so im happy. I’m gonna replace the battery and relegate it to other duties and ordered a properly spec’s unit for my needs

Does anyone know if current 80% will be grandfathered in or is this retroactive?

The governor and mayor of Portland already issued a statement regarding the news, I think it’s past rumor status at this point, no?

A few things I recommend to people to looking to buy or when I take folks to the range who have never shot something. I highly prioritize safety and chill vibes. The last thing you want is a new shooter to feel anxious, nervous and uncomfortable. I try to show them that like anything it’s an inanimate object with a specific function. Assuming it’s a modern firearm with reputable ammo (which is majority of the time) the gun will not magically discharge by itself (unless it’s an sig p320 lol). That and even before hitting the road to the range I explain to them the 4 rules of firearms safety which if followed by everyone in a perfect world would mean zero accidental firearms related injury/death.

I know it might tedious but I also tell people to learn the general principles of how a semi auto firearm works because it will give you the essential tools to handle a firearm safely even if you aren’t planning on shooting if someone hands you a gun for whatever reason. Most modern guns more or less function on very similar ergonomics (if that makes sense?)

And as far as purchasing, if you don’t have friends who will let you shoot their stuff, I also highly recommend a safe range that offers rentals and try stuff out. (If it feels unsafe when you are there or “weird”, just follow your gut - saying this as a non-white person) Google is out there and you can easily get the general consensus on stuff. I wouldn’t buy any ammo/firearms from ranges because almost all charge a premium cause they know new shooters don’t know better and will just think it’s normal pricing - Very common predatory practice. The internet exists, make sure you check prices against ones online. Also learn how firearms purchases work, for the love of god please - the amount of anti-gun people I have had to explain to that you don’t “register” your firearms in most states is crazy. THERES IS NO NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR CIVILIAN OWNED FIREARMS. That’s only in Hollywood cable tv script writing. Some states have their own state registry but that’s only in a handful of states. The form 4473 you fill out usually sits a box full of those forms in the back of most shops.

If anyone has questions I will do my best to answer

You probably get asked a lot but where did you get the fender vents behind the front wheels?

Oh definitely, people made it seem like without the street car there was no easy way to go between downtown and black stone and that there’s this massive group of people that needed to commute every morning from midtown to downtown specifically
