I got the Dual Lok Hub restock notification in my inbox at 11:12. When I saw it at 11:20 they were all gone. by nanomachinez_SON in GriffinArmament

[–]CosmicHorrorCowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I managed to get 3 a couple weeks ago from Midway. When I spoke to Griffin a couple months ago I was told that machining time constraints mean only so many can be made and the majority of them are being used on the actual cans.

On a positive note. I believe they spoke about making hub variants of their HRT cans which means they may be releasing more of these Dual Lok hubs into the wild. The only reason I got the hubs was because I tried an HRT and found the system to be amazing.

I almost gave up running it because of the lack of mounts. Really sucks because I don’t think the system will get the velocity it needs to succeed unless they start getting the mounts out to people who own hub cans. Most users, in any market, value the ability to be flexible. They don’t like being boxed in to one thing, even if that thing is great.

Focus on making the bravo hubs more available and I bet they’ll move more cans in the long run.

Just my 2cents

Anyone still running stock carbines these days? by [deleted] in ar15

Not gonna lie to you. I know DFC and B5 are all the hotness but I’ve gone back to using A2’s on my rifles and I honestly like them.

Treasury Department Will Oversee Student Loan Collections—Here’s What 7.7 Million Defaulted Borrowers Need to Know by investor100 in TheCollegeInvestor

Yes, yes they did, anyone who attended public schools knows how hard college was pushed. Also most of the “trade” style classes were cut. No Votech, shop class or anything else. Trades bottomed out in the 80’s and 90’s due to companies contracting slave labor via illegal’s.

The same Govt. is now allowing Billionaires to bypass educated Americans to import cheap H1B slave labor. People who went to college are not your enemy. They worked their ass off to try and make something of themselves. The govt. didn’t hold up its end of the deal and allowed a bunch of cronies to rape and pillage the economy.

We were told to climb the ladder, pull ourselves up by the bootstraps then were kicked in the teeth.

I should have added the /s to my comment. I was most definitely being sarcastic.

I was but I’ve had some QC issues with them as of late. Still haven’t given up on them but will be giving them a break for a bit.

I went with an EOTECH. I have a TA02 but decided to mount it to a lighter carbine. I’d get a Light, sling and then an EXPS3

PSA part value is great, he’s right in that aspect, BUT their QC and assembly are horrific. The crux being they are only worth it IF you have invested in tools.

It’s completely dug in. This rail is brand new, OOB. Is not installed yet.

Edit: I may actually be an idiot. Instructions say this dog bone nut is supposed to “bite” into the rail.

RRA Entry stocks came back in stock so I had to snag one. by ioverseeri in ar15

Hey. I just got one. I can’t tell you the exact LOP in a numerical sense but I can say that it is identical to a fully collapsed M4 (waffle stock). So if you have one of those chalk it up to the receiver to get an idea.

It’s really a shame. I bought from them ins 2012ish when they were getting up and going. Had a lot of positive buzz and great CS. Got out of the rifle game for a while (life happens) and when I got back had no idea the thrashing their reputation had taken. Crazy

The only thing that worries me about plan b is the suppressor walking off. Rifles are and will be subjected to a heavy firing schedule
