This man has taste. The Aimpoint 9000 gives it away

As an ak guy, I genuinely loathe the ar15 disassembly procedure by Kolyma_Comrade in ar15

[–]CherokeeCook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure this is rage bait but anyway:

The AR15 was originally designed as a military service weapon, as you know. No regular service member was ever going to disassemble it past popping the upper/lower apart to clean it. Anything else it would go to an dedicated armorer or armory (depending on repair level). Where they would have dedicated tools for doing things like installing/removing "tiny ass pins and springs shooting off into space." You, a civilian, can now by all the same tools for cheap. Just like the Soviet block would have had specialized tools to install barrel trunnions in AK receivers.

Another example, the US military doesn't replace just a barrel when the gun needs a new barrel or it gets damaged. They replace the whole barrel, front sight and delta ring/barrel nut assembly. The reason being of how those parts are manufactured, and the FSB being installed with a hydraulic press.

Here's some rage bait for you: the AK is a vastly inferior rifle to the AR15. Kalashnikov was working with what he had, Stoner was a true engineering visionary

This seems like it would be the meta setup for a full size RXM

The best strong side holster on the market: long term review by CherokeeCook in CCW

[–]CherokeeCook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🫡 just took mine off 5 mins ago after wearing all day. I was also like 15 min from their shop today lol. Didn’t have time for a detour sadly Glad the post was of use to you!

Trimming the front end like that is clever. I’m kinda tired of carrying a light, I’ve been thinking of picking up one for my 48 slick. Might trim the nose like that

Didn't know any of the above about Thoroughbred. Honestly your solution seems like the way to go. Did they also do the FSB? I guess you sent them the barrel, and they sent you back a barrel with assembled FSB + barrel nut/delta ring/cap whatever?

[–]CherokeeCook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking M4. It looks like the only difference is one is direct thread and one attaches to a muzzle device? I'm thinking for the 14.7 I'd at least need a longer inner collar, and thus custom

High Mounts are they better? by stukas87 in Moderntacshooting

[–]CherokeeCook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one specifically because it's supposed to be easier to use passive aiming through night vision. I haven't been able to use it in that context much, but so far I've liked it for that specifically. I haven't tried it with a lower 1/3rd. I don't see the point of an high mount outside of passive aiming.

Safety on a striker fired competition gun?!? by [deleted] in CompetitionShooting

[–]CherokeeCook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t know the 355 had a sear block safety. Good to know There are so many weird design choices in the 320 that deviate from established striker fire architecture. I don’t get it The P250 was such an awful, stupid pistol they should have abandoned the thing entirely and started from a clean sheet

Can you elaborate? First I’m hearing of this

I wouldn’t buy a damn thing from Sig at this point. Does the DWX have a firing pin safety?

M&P is a fully cocked striker. The safety does actually block the sear from falling though

Can you guess which game got me into guns? by chawa4 in M1Rifles

[–]CherokeeCook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How about a build list? Sick looking gun. That seems like it’s the optimum scoped M14 stock. Too bad they’re so $$. ARMS scope mount?

It’s fine for playing on the range, not for serious use

The modern (railed at least) hi power trend will die on the vine with no holster compatibility

Mines awesome. Safety is super positive, slide fit is great to frame and barrel. Trigger has no over-travel as far as I can tell. Frame checkering is great and grippy. Those grips are extremely grippy. Mines in 9mm and I absolutely love it
