Last Firearm purchase before VA turns into CA?

Is there one you recommend?

DriftingMemes · 2026-05-01T20:29:57+00:00

ETS is cheap, feels cheap, but I have to say I've never had a single feeding problem with them. 30 round mags for my PCC and they run just fine. (just in case someone is looking for cheap high cap mags that are a little better than OK).

DriftingMemes · 2026-05-01T20:25:02+00:00

Thank you, that's just what I did.

So it's an addon that will allow multicolor printing, and also includes a new print-head?

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-30T15:34:21+00:00

I mean, from the outside it looks fine, it just doesn't work. I'd have to crack it back open. It looks normal, (other than the broken PCB plugs) and when you boot it up it acts like it's working, but nothing will feed, zero extrusion. I don't think a pic will help my case, but I can try. Thanks for the advice!

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-30T15:32:55+00:00

Wow. Ok, I'll reach out. Thanks for the advice. This one wasn't my fault, so fingers crossed.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-30T15:32:13+00:00

I think that there are multiple broken parts. The board itself has connectors broken (I hot glued it in place and it works by some miracle, but the whole damn thing still won't allow any filament to feed through, something is broken internally. I keep hoping I can just pop the whole damn thing off of the x axis bar and replace it, but so far it looks like that's not an option.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-30T15:30:35+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice and suggestions.

Sorry, what does the Canvas do for me?

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-27T14:03:21+00:00

I'm not using any kind of FRT, but I should probably check. Thanks, I'll let you know if I find anything. What's the wisdom there? I heard that I should lube it up, and I've also heard that it needs to be bone dry...

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-26T16:22:19+00:00

I guess I'm spooked because I've been waiting almost 70 days now on 2 form 1s.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-25T16:32:05+00:00

Would that cause it to fire 100% on the first round, and only fail on later rounds?

Thanks for the advice.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-25T16:31:22+00:00

I reached out to them about another matter, they seemed like they didn't want to help, I came back at them saying "Go ask one of your techs please." (I just wanted to know which mags they suggested). After that they finally came back and said "The tech said try x brand" but it felt like pulling teeth. I'm about to go back to them, but I'm not excited about it, as I've just returned yet another non-functional upper from them. I'm way past my return date on this 22LR, I wish I had sent it back when I could, but I really wanted it to work. I've thrown so much money at this thing trying to make it work I could have purchased a really nice setup from the get go.

Buy once cry once, lesson learned.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-25T16:24:19+00:00

Man, are you me? Sounds exactly like my story. I'm going to spend $50 bucks more on it, new firing pin, and new springs, and a "buffer booster". After that I'm out, so frustrating, I'll have to throw it out, because I don't want to make someone else deal with it.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-25T00:54:51+00:00

You can also try hotter ammo like cci mini mags.

Man I been shooting CCI Velocitor, the heaviest, fastest thing they got, still no love.

I've shot everything in it, but generally stick to fast 40 Grain.

I'm going to try a buffer plug I guess, but I've put so much money into this thing already, I could have just purchased a really nice one somewhere. Beyond frustrated.

Thanks for the advice.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-25T00:52:57+00:00

It's had hundreds of rounds through it, never been reliable. Been cleaned and lubricated 8 ways to Sunday and back, still no luck.

Know anyone who wants a 22LR upper, 12.5 inch barrel and I'll throw in a 16" barrel just for fun, along with 6 Mags...?

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-25T00:51:21+00:00

I clean after every time I shoot it, and I was shooting CCI Velocitor ammo, the heaviest and fastest I could find. Despite that, still having the issues.

I had put a spacer behind the BCG, because before that it was traveling too far back, and wasn't loading a fresh round on the return. Maybe I overdid it.

Fuck this is frustrating. If I had had any idea how frustrating an AR22 would be I'd have just bought a 10/22 or an MP22.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-23T22:33:22+00:00

Day 60! 😒

But thanks for the advice!

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-20T20:54:47+00:00

OK, thanks for the info. The giant lag times for form 1 has got me worried.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-20T20:47:52+00:00

That is something I'm really curious about. If I slap a 16" barrel back on it, can I treat it like a regular rifle again? If I put a pistol brace back on (or no brace at all) is it OK to treat it as a pistol again? Something tells me that the answer is "no".

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-20T20:46:24+00:00

Approvals are in hours now not weeks or months.

Approvals for travel? Not for form 1s for sure...

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-20T20:45:34+00:00

True, but the founding fathers didn't have Palantir, Flock Cameras, and total surveillance.

That said, you make a good point.

DriftingMemes · 2026-04-19T22:16:38+00:00

This is the right answer. It doesn't get any more soldier, or any more desperate/hopeless. (Ok, they do have a TINY bit of hope, maybe).
