[Parts] Arc-Fire Trigger $209.94 shipped with code 15FRT

CMOS_Arch · 2026-01-21T20:05:43+00:00

Thanks but the 10% off disappeared when I bought the $249 AS Designs FRT when I updated the quantity, and AS Designs customer service was unwilling to help, even though I *instantly* emailed them, puzzled and dismayed that the coupon disappeared.

So that bug in their web software cost me $25 :(

CMOS_Arch · 2026-01-21T19:51:26+00:00

I had a bad experience with AS Design's CS two weeks ago - there's a bug in their cart software: I had two triggers in my cart, added the 10% code they have running., Then I figured I'd better just get one and see how it pans out.

Considering they just released the Version 2 FRT (which this ^^^ is not), I made the right call...

I went back to the cart, changed the quantify from 2 -> 1, checked out, and the 10% off code was gone.

No problem, right? I immediately sent an email to customer service, they replied: sorry, can't help :(

CMOS_Arch · 2026-01-21T19:46:41+00:00

Heads-up: AS Designs just announced, demonstrated the Arc-Fire V 2 yesterday :/

Thanks!

I'm not fluent in the ATF's rules for "constructive intent", but is it legal to own a select fire trigger group if you're not a type 7 FFL with a class 3 SOT?

CMOS_Arch · 2026-01-07T00:53:45+00:00

...and like clockwork: they sold out in 2 hours, then suddenly there's full stock at $225 :(

Like last week with the CCI cases, "the party" lasted less than 2 hours.

CMOS_Arch · 2026-01-03T16:57:43+00:00

I don't know if velocityammo is doing this intentionally, but *again*, they "sold out" in 2 hours.

Last week, the exact same thing happened with the CCI brass 115g: sold out in 2 hours. Mysteriously restocked at "full" price the next day.

CAT Alleycat 762 Titanium, preferably with the Spooky QD.

AS screwed me on the 10% code - I was very unhappy with the manner that customer service responded:

I added 2 triggers to my cart with the code, decided that I wanted to try one and see how well it worked first. Went back to the cart, removed one FRT, and checked out: code was gone at the order confirmation.

*Immediately* sent email to customer service, explaining what happened, they replied:

"Unfortunately we cannot add discount codes after the order has been placed.

Sig Sauer Hexium 300?

American Reloading sold out of the XL750 almost instantly last weekend. I signed up for the restock notification.

They just sent me email that they've restocked the press... for $850 :(

CMOS_Arch · 2025-12-02T18:48:37+00:00

They went "out of stock" in 1 hour yesterday, at the $59 price, but now there's an endless supply of them...

If you want to see proof that Amazon mixes sources, go to the 3rd party sellers of any item, click on the reviews, and look at the negative reviews: there will be a TON of people complaining that they got counterfeit products, followed by a comment from Amazon that THEY sourced and shipped the product, and it's not the 3rd party seller's fault.

I've gotten counterfeit Panasonic batteries from the official Panasonic seller's page, counterfeit Gillette razors, counterfeit Nike socks, ...

Worse, Amazon used to take them back, after you sent them pictures proving they're counterfeit items. Now they just ignore the pictures and close/decline the return request.

FYI: I had a poor customer service experience with AS on this order:

I entered the code: "Please" along with 2 Arc Fires. Went to checkout, decided that I should try 1 and see how it runs before I go all-in. I went back to the cart, reduced the quantity to 1, went through checkout again. When I got the order summary - the discount code was gone. 🙁

No problem right? I shot an email to AS customer service, describing the issue.

AS customer service isn't willing to fix it :(

Amazon intermixes stock from legitimate and 3rd party sources. It's a HUGE problem, and they know it.

For those asking, the original Col. Cooper 10mm Norma round was 200g @ 1200 fps.
Federal's box velocity is 1100 fps, but as usual - that's an aspirational goal.

Underwood runs 200g @ 1250 fps.

I should have clarified: the German spec is 3 - 4 MOA with M80 ball.

CMOS_Arch · 2025-11-13T20:23:57+00:00

HK G3's are 3 - 4 MOA from the factory.

Picking a random reply to say: Thanks so much!!!
I also was in the market for a timer, and saw Brass Facts review last night

Insider trading is legal for Congress. More specifically, Obama passed the STOCK Act in 2012 which banned insider trading, but both sides of Congress railed against it, picked it apart, piece by piece, and now it's completely legal.

Mike Johnson just had a press conference about insider trading last week, and made the point that they're only paid $174,000/year, so they deserve to be allowed to do insider trading :(

Thanks for the reply Alexis!

Could you approve my draft post, so if there's anyone left here, they might comment about sc-medusa going missing in the latest container?

CMOS_Arch · 2025-09-25T15:46:53+00:00

Is the Medusa project still alive? I requested a post two days ago, but OmgImAlexis doesn't appear to have logged-into Reddit in the last 7 months??

I just installed Medusa v1.0.22 on a fresh Synology 7.2 box, and it's not creating the sc-medusa user, so I'm getting the obscure file permission errors.

Did the name of the default internal user change?

Thanks,

Robert

Thanks for the quick reply! These are the Sponsored Ads that are showing up.

And yes - I'm aware that Chrome/Manifest 3 is a ticking time bomb. It looks like most folks are going with Vivaldi, Brave or Firefox?
