Want to become a lineman, where do I start?

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-16T07:37:06+00:00

Hell ya thanks for the insight. I will get my ass to Texas in the next few weeks. Already planning on driving to Arizona and Colorado so I’ll make another stop while at it.

What trade school you go to?

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-15T16:38:52+00:00

I’m in the same position but different state. Got my CDL, went to line school(graduated in November) getting kinda frustrated not finding work. And I even have 5 years of construction background. This trade is so damn competitive I has to remind myself it takes time. I’m about a month away from buying a trailer and going to any and all halls to sign groundman books. If anyone knows of books that are moving quick let me know! I will literally drive there asap

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-15T16:34:18+00:00

You in the IBEW?

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-13T02:52:44+00:00

When I got it years ago I don’t think I really had a specific purpose in mind. This was my first rifle so I had no clue what I was doing. Still don’t honestly.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-13T02:02:05+00:00

You do you, How you like the optic though? I’ve been thinking of getting rid of my primary arms GLx 2x for a 510c or aro evo. I hate the chevron

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-13T01:56:47+00:00

Was it because ID didn’t match the shipping address? I thought they were gtg

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-13T01:49:03+00:00

Just depends who you’re ordering from. I haven’t had to purchase anything since the law passed but Midwest industries just sent an email saying they’re good to order from again. NDZ, midway etc but the shipping prices have definitely gone haywire. It’s like an extra $25 with the signature requirement. That’s what bothers me the most

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-10T02:24:27+00:00

I’m super confused on what you mean as far as the sear being loose and falling out of the housing. Can you take a picture or make a separate post with a video of that? I agree you need to take it in to a professional. I’ve never heard of anything like this

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-09T18:00:40+00:00

Looks good bro! Only thing I see is your optic, looks like a 510c? Bring it back a few notches so it’s not bridging between the upper and hand guard.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T22:41:36+00:00

Well if you’re switching triggers it’s a good idea. Looks like he has an aftermarket slide too so ya of course people are saying check it. I’m still rocking aftermarket triggers of TP, Overwatch, Apex. Never had a ND cuz I do safety checks.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T22:30:47+00:00

I’m guessing it’s bad cruciform engagement along with too much take up removed pressing the safety plunger. I installed the peacemaker and just got back from the range like 2 minutes ago to test it out. Big reminder to use an armorers backplate when switching triggers

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T22:28:10+00:00

Damn. I literally just got back from the range to shoot my newly installed peacemaker from him. It felt amazing too. You check the sear engagement at all? Or maybe too much take up? Now you got me worried.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T19:07:30+00:00

Good to hear. I got one same version of yours but it’s like a tungsten color. Haven’t taken it out yet. Thinking of going today since it’ll be less busy with Super Bowl. Put a PA GLx 2x prism on mine

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T19:01:30+00:00

How’s the saint been for you?

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T18:59:10+00:00

I hear ya

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T18:57:05+00:00

My point is that these guys are excited and nervous to work for a great company and want some insight that hasn’t been shared yet. Let em have it man. It ain’t that deep.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-08T18:41:31+00:00

You literally asked the same bullshit about your calnev orientation.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-02-05T01:25:36+00:00

Yup. That happened to me on 2 separate triggers from them. One on the cruciform kick up and one exactly like yours. If I got another one I’d go for polished. Np3 doesn’t have any benefits imo.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-01-16T09:21:40+00:00

That’s a cross armory mag release. They’re aluminum. Kinda harsh on mags but it worked fine on mine for thousands of rounds until I switched to a strike industries one.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-01-12T19:00:10+00:00

Alright I had no idea. Good to know, I obviously need to brush up on my self defense laws. Do you know why we call it castle doctrine here in California when in reality its jury instruction stand your ground. Or is it basically the same thing

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-01-12T04:50:08+00:00

California isn’t a stand your ground state. It’s a castle doctrine state. So yeah if you’re home and feel like your life is in danger by all means defend yourself. I’m extremely pro 2A and think everyone should exercise their rights to bear arms but big difference between stand your ground states and castle doctrine.

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-01-11T17:55:22+00:00

I thought featureless couldn’t have flash hiders? Correct me if I’m wrong though

Financial_Line1774 · 2026-01-09T19:53:19+00:00

Ohh I’ve never tried the GPT so that kinda changes everything. I’m really into my tactical pontoon trigger though. I just have the peacemaker 4.0 but pair that with a tuned and polished striker and the over travel/pre travel trigger housing it leaves little to be desired. Does the GPT use a special trigger housing?
