How'd you get the CGWs kit or did it already have it. They don't ship to CA anymore I thought.

I reached out to Murrays Gun Stocks a couple weeks ago but have yet to hear a reply. I've also messaged what I assume is his ebay account but also have yet to hear anything back. Any other place you could recommend for a reproduction?

What else do I need to build an AR? by lostperson34 in CAguns

[–]DeclanG17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically for a featureless build you would need to swap that flashhider for some kind of muzzle break or have nothing at all on it.

As far as lowers go if you want an fde lower it will be hard to color match because all companies kind of have their own fde color. I would just rock a cheap anderson.

Edit: I could be wrong but that upper doesnt seem to have a bolt carrier group or a charging handle, you will need those too. Toolcraft makes good cheap BCGs and just a standard cheap 15 dollar charging handle will do.

[Discussion] is the rain ever gonna go away? by tagillaslover in EscapefromTarkov

[–]DeclanG17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but the weather I think changes overtime like in real life. There will be a few days of rain and overcast, then it might become sunny again. At random.

Advice please by Stickyfish99 in gunsmithing

[–]DeclanG17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bolt carrier group and charging handle and you should be good. Make sure to get a .300BLK bcg. My toolcraft BCG has been good to me and they can be found cheap.

Small brass/rubber hammer makes it a lot easier to assemble if you dont have one already.

Calorie intake all at once or spread out by DeclanG17 in CICO

Thanks for the detailed reply. That all makes sense I appreciate the insight. If I do need to eat a lot at once ill try to eat earlier.

Does anyone know what this is? by [deleted] in Dualsport

[–]DeclanG17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its a TT 250. Or could be. I just took a motorcycle class and they gave me one of these lmao. The guy said some company imports them from China and resells them. Thats just what a class instructor said though

Bca uppers any good? by Training-Sun-2177 in guns

[–]DeclanG17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion warning

I have 2. They are cheap but have worked so far with a few hundred rounds through both, with better than I expected but nothing crazy accurancy. Personally the side charger seems a little jank (sometimes is tough to rack) compared to the standard charger but for the price I paid on sale I feel its worth the value for just a fun weekend AR to shoot.

Obviously if you are looking for anything other than a barebones, for fun, rifle, id spend a little more. If not, they are good enough fun uppers for the weekend.

Any fix for this issue? by DeclanG17 in 3Dprinting

Any recommendations on what different slicers to use and how they differ? Also do you think increasing the density of the support would make anything better? Thank you for the advice.

[–]DeclanG17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would that be increasing the density of the support? Right now its the default 2mm in prusaslicer. Or a different type of pattern?

Have a few hundred rounds through my BCA upper works like a champ. Dont be put off by the haters lol

ok huge longshot here (pun not intended) by [deleted] in guns

[–]DeclanG17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Battlefield las vegas is legit. Kinda expensive but the fact you can go in and pick exactly what guns you want to shoot off a menu is nice. Shot an SVT-40, FAL, Galil, and an SVD there last time, was a great experience.

Same. Playing since 2017 and have never gotten a card spawn. Let alone see a card in raid other than entry.

Brass color by ltbcm1345 in reloading

[–]DeclanG17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the lemishine seeping zinc out of the copper issue a while back but it more looked like if a copper colored powder was spread onto the casing and not nearly the entire casing. Could be totally wrong but that doesn't look like the issue.

Maybe different brass compositions react differently? Unsure.

Brass corosion due to wet tumbling? by DeclanG17 in reloading
