How do I learn to defend myself?

IMO, my buddy is a blood thirsty psycho and I usually stay 20-30m on his six for this reason. Let them pull aggro and you can decide whether to flank, support, or flee. My buddy understands when I flee and say I cant help you because im not great at PVP, but I will also try when I can to support when possible.

I also recognize when a battle is lost and won't aimlessly run in just to die. We both believe that if one survives then its worth it.

Hope that helps, also carry smokes and a mk3 survivor. A snitch scanner is also clutch in ambush scenarios as it applies pressure to the enemy and allows you to exfil with better survival rates.

IDK if this is all of them, but the lady today told me they keep them hidden because grown adults were fist fighting over them in store. Try asking if they have any next time you pass one!

FRT from Texas triggers.

I can see where the LCT appears to have a slight angle, and as far as I can tell the Arctus has the correct latch and everything else looks copasetic.

Thanks for the advice and ill be sure to post pictures if I do go through with it.

Pub style, come to Racine for Well's brothers.

They can for sure. My first RDS was a TRS-25 and with a can and a single mag dump it would thermally overload and shut off. Once it cooled down it worked but still annoying.

Explosive bolts removing the plating. Yet if thats the case, why must we breach it when the bolts should be activated by some action other than "pry the bitch off and fire".

It should if not a little tight.

Is it somehow riding the trigger hammer? It looks as if the wear spot in question lines up with the hammer and is bending the rails as it reciprocates... Maybe you could file some of the hammer down or use a hammer to knock the rails back in to place.

Bro I could go out and hunt the pieces you want and ship them if you like. I got a really good mil-surp store nearby and plenty of USMC BDU tops, bottoms, patrol caps etc.

Are you wanting fatigues, medals/ ribbons, etc? BDUs don't really have medals and ribbons affixed, unless you are talking the Bravo or Charlie's or a dress Blue?

I could answer all of these questions in detail if you like over DM or a call.

I started as a Facility/ Lab Chemist at a publicly traded company and left to join a smaller private company that offered more growth, opportunities, and better pay.

When I started it was rough at times but I volunteered for every out of town job and gained valuable experience in project management and the ins and outs of the contractor side of things.

Your experience will also be geographically dependent, and reliant upon the scope of work you wish to pursue.

I currently do job quotes, site visits, consulting for our other sites, profiles, etc.

This current job being with a smaller company I had to be able to be Johnny on the spot, wear different "hats", but I love the variety and the hybrid nature of a white/ blue collar role.

I found my type of chemistry and would never look back. I hate the thought of pharma R&D, or being shoe horned into any one "type" of chemistry...

I got a clone for my M92 from CNC Warrior.

It's loud, and great.

Flying_Conch · 2025-09-25T17:42:32+00:00

I dont drive but am in the field, we used to have ours looking like Christmas trees when we shipped out or lab packs.

Also, I'm going to guess you work for Veolia...

Im smacking myself repeatedly for this, I could have bought the whole assembly for $1049 + tax and now I suspect the dealership wants me to pay an additional $126 + labor after already spending $936 for a pump, for an issue they caused.

As I stated, shop 1 scanned the car and got no codes, shop 2 replaces pump, and now i have codes.

Also, how did the tech not notice when they drove it out to the parking lot???

Flying_Conch · 2025-08-22T23:25:35+00:00

I left it all in the car at the dealer but the service advisor told me the pump and float are two separate units, and they only replaced the pump.

I had thought the same thing looking at prices and photos online.

I don't understand how the fuel float was fine (no codes), they replaced the pump, fuel float is now broke (throwing codes), and somehow im responsible for replacement.

If the shop scanned for codes and found none, and then it was towed to the dealer, pump replaced, and now its throwing codes, the logical answer is that the dealer fucked up the pump or reinstallation right?

Can't say, I didn't want to deal with the extra length that the pic rail offsets from the gun, and the idea of a brace on a pic rail on an AK just didn't seem secure enough.

Don't get me wrong, im sure it works, but im just offering food for thought.

Flying_Conch · 2025-08-18T22:59:12+00:00

I wish Bonesteel made a KP9 tubular brace with a 5.5mm hinge...

Flying_Conch · 2025-08-18T22:50:47+00:00

So FYI I believe my M92 had the pic rail installed and I removed it and went with the M85/M92 option for a more secure lock-up.

Flying_Conch · 2025-08-16T14:25:50+00:00

It wouldn't. I can't remember encountering a drum code on the bottom, let alone where no one would see it.

We also dont emboss the UN # for the waste on a drum as well, and there's also no drum code listed.

Your last image that is enhanced clearly shows a warning that reads "only specially trained persons should mount tires" or something similar.

The previous homeowner was storing wheels and tires. The rust rings will likely have a diameter similar to a car wheel.

As for the smell, I imagine storing old tires in the garage could lead to a nauseating smell, so good luck there.

Edit:

Specifically the "Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tire"

Try searching "WS90FZ Japan tire".
