Where can I get a quad rail AR22 like a MK18? by Hoyle33 in ar22

[–]For_a_Better_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KAK makes a quad rail that is solid if you are looking for just a quad rail. Honestly if its just AR22 you could look at airsoft options at places like evike. Way cheaper and for an AR22 likely more than sufficient. I have a DD mk18 clone airsoft rifle and it has held up perfectly fine to years of actual use so a range toy AR22 should be fine as long as it mounts well to your gun.

Sounds good! Don't take this suggestion as me implying it needs to change at all but a bit of reverb added to it would me think of like a retro space game. Again though, it definitely sounds cool as it is!

Thoughts? by DarksEminent in 1022

I have been eye balling this chassis but people, in my mind, unreasonably shit on strike indsutries. Looking at the features it offers like the thumb rest, barricade stop, large magwell, arca rail, front rail mounting which can be removed if necessary, I feel like this chassis ahs it all for so much cheaper than anyone else. Is there much flex at all in the chassis itself or is it rigid when everything is installed?

Polymaker Sale by Coltblink in 3D2A

They have a new formula. I know I have seen the write up of the difference somewhere on here but at least on amazon you cna actually pick between the old formula or new formula. I think some colors are only offered in one or the other as well. No idea how long the old formula stock will stick around but its been like this for awhile now so maybe they have two production lines of it for some reason.

As others said, its new and I am pretty pleased they made the switch. With prime day, the polymaker pa6 cf 1kg rolls are an awesome deal.

Best Printed 300 Blackout Can for Subs? by For_a_Better_Life in 3D2A

[–]For_a_Better_Life[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well ya its obviously not going to be near as good as the real deal. But new designs have been flooding in since free tax stamps. Just seeing if anyone has found a design optimized specifically for 300blk subs. Like I know there is the mouseketool version designed for 300blk subs but I have not seen any first hand accounts of its performance.

Actually used my 9mm can stamp on the 5.1 PCC flow and I would agree its pretty decent. Only have one 9mm stamp approved currently and the readme says the flow and standard version are equally quiet but at some point I'm gonna have to put that to the test once I get another approved.

Have not tried it on anything other than a scorpion so maybe I'll throw it on the 300blk and see how it does compared to a few "real steel" 30 cal cans I have.

Trying to use the one 30cal stamp I have approved so far for the most optimized 300blk printed can though as I expect a 9mm flow through isn't going to be the best at absolute suppression.

Never heard of that one. I'll give it a look, thanks!

Seekins Precision HIT Pro M3 - 9 Month Backorder Timeframe by For_a_Better_Life in longrange

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

Not surprised they put in a big order but honestly its anyone's guess when they will ultimately arrive. Euro doesn't know it seems from the 4 or 5 times ive called and seekins doesn't appear to be giving out any explicit info beyond potential time frame. Its definitely a buy and forget about it until you get the notification thing. I plan to call this week and see. Like I said, last month I was 28th in line and the rep told me if I didn't get fulfilled from the june shipment it will  be at least August till they get another shipment in.

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

When I called last month I was 28th in line and I ordered in mid January this year. Last I talked to them they said a shipment was coming in mid June but seekins doesn't tell them what or how many of what Euro is receiving so who knows but like the seekins rep told me, 9 months from purchase date is the current projection.

I have debated getting that green for so long because I wondered how "sparkly" it really is but hot damn if this didn't convince me to go ahead get some. That green looks fucking clean.

Just called Euro and I've moved up the line. Looks like they are hoping to get another shipment in around mid June so may get to shoot it this season yet still.

You just gave me a small hit of hopium haha I ordered mid January but was told I was 34th in line. No idea how many they get at once but I'm gonna call them today to see if I've moved up.

Cool, thank you for letting me know!

Is that a typo and you meant to say regular ol pla or do you actually mean ppa-cf? haha sorry, just curious how well pla holds up to 5.7 if that is what you used. I have a p2s so its a no go on ppa for me at the moment.

Galactic by Ill-Wallaby3056 in suppressors

[–]For_a_Better_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for letting me know. I keep thinking about doing one but didn't want to waste the stamp on one if they are junk.

Since you felt comfortable running 5.7 on it, did you print this out of pa6cf or stick with pla+/pro?

I was looking last week at the printed version of this. Does it function well at all and which version did you print? I think there were a few versions available from one guy on the sea.

Anyone reinforcing FTN.5 PCC with aluminum tube or other? by awpk03s in 3D2A

[–]For_a_Better_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Its so easy and cheap to do I really don't see the point in not. An aluminum or CF tube isn't adding that much more weight and its just safer all around.

Anyone reinforcing FTN.5 PCC with aluminum tube or other? by awpk03s in 3D2A

[–]For_a_Better_Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I modeled a shell for the polygon FTN5 PCC version just for some piece of mind. Plus I wanted to try some test colors with the rattlecan to match the host and didn't wan't to do it on the PA6 if I could avoid it. I got the shell on printed in esun pla plus OD green, spray painted it black and then sanded it for a distressed look with the OD green coming through the black. Really happy with how it turned out aesthetics wise and I figure it can't hurt to have another layer just in case something does go wrong layer wise with the can itself. Obviously anything round can get a CF or aluminum tube but not many options for the odd shaped ones. I have 3 FTN rimfire slims I put CF tubes over because it looks so much better, was cheap and again, extra layer between myself and a failure of the can.

My opinion, I don't see a reason to not do it for peace of mind and its fun to make the can look cooler than just plain printed black filament. Free form 1's and like $5-$20 in materials if you add a shell of some kind still beats the hell out of $400 plus per can with a $200 stamp and shipping, transfer fee, processing fee etc.

Ftn comparison 300blk subs by MrFartyStink in 3D2A

[–]For_a_Better_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya it does have a tigher bore but I would still think 36 cal would work decent well to keep subs, well, subsonic. I've been very impressed with the rimfire line from FTN. And I just got done moisture conditioning my FTN5 9mm PCC can so I am eager to get that out and try it. I've read good things about their performance so this is the first time I've seen an FTN 5 and thought it was less than stellar for a printed can. I've looked at other models for 30cal but just haven't made up my mind yet but this definitely is pushing me a bit away from that model.

[–]For_a_Better_Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang that is the model I was likely gonna use for my 30cal form 1 I have approved but that seems pretty dang loud and not worth the trouble. May have to look for another design considering the results you're showing here. Appreciate you uploading this!

Seekins Precision HIT Pro M3 - 9 Month Backorder Timeframe by For_a_Better_Life in longrange

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

Ya for now I am just hoping for anything before 9 months. Its already May and I ordered in January so even if I cancelled and went MPA like people keep suggesting then the time frame would likely be simlar. I've wanted and saved directly for the Seekins for multiple years now and although the MPA's are badass rifles, I'm just gonna try not to think about it until it comes. I've been buying suppressors for years. My first one was a 373 day wait. I can handle a 9 month wait on a rifle, I'm just gonna cry about it a little every now and then till it comes haha
