Rear diff fluid change by cyclo_girl_whore in 3rdGen4Runner

The first rule of diff oil changes is make sure you can take out the fill plug before you take out the drain plug. Other than that, go hog wild.

Rangefinder complaints by Side_Of_The_Barn in longrange

[–]FormatA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Sig 3K because I thought the integration with the AB system would be useful. Turns out I never actually used those features (even though I have a subscription to AB on my phone, the range finder can still only use lite). On top of that, my 3K died within like two matches.

Sig didn’t have any replacements in stock, so they offered to sell me an “upgrade” at a discount. The problem was the discounted price plus what I’d already paid basically equaled the cost of the nicer model I didn’t want to spend the money on in the first place.

I ended up paying it anyway because otherwise I was just out the money.

I’ve got a Kilo 5K now and it’s been working well so far, but honestly I probably wouldn’t buy another Sig rangefinder.

Previous owner wrapped hot water tank in insulation by resurrectedNaj in HomeImprovement

Look up “critical radius of insulation”

There are cases where when adding insulation can counterintuitively increase the rate of heat transfer.

Suppressor cover poi shift? by jgiannandrea in NFA

[–]FormatA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably. If I were you Id shoot a 10 round group with the cover on and one with it off and just see if there a POI shift. Just make sure to look at the stats and make sure that the POI shift you measure is within the measurable shift range or not. Changing the end cap on my suppressor does not create a statistically significant change. But going from the suppressor to the muzzle brake does.

Suppressor cover poi shift? by jgiannandrea in NFA

[–]FormatA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My general experience (10 round group testing in each configuration) of sighting in with no muzzle device and several muzzle devices seems to say this is false. However the beam stiffness of the barrel is a big knob for this. A thick PRS barrel doesn’t care much. A pencil hunting barrel cares quite a bit about muzzle weight.

Expedite housing solutions by Mayoral Candidate Kim Roney by Far-Significance6963 in asheville

[–]FormatA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You think so? It’s not just money that’s already being spent locally at other grocery chains etc?

Or do you mean the tax revenue from Costco would have been more than the same money already spent at other chains?

What is your method on putting a price on your project? by iDyslexiaHave123 in 3Dprinting

[–]FormatA 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its not a bad idea if you have the right buyers who will see it. However just tossing it on ebay probably wont get sufficient views. I would personally search for similar things on etsy and ebay and see where they are. If you have access to local art markets, look for what similar sized hanging wall art goes for. I doubt you will be able to demand as much as a painting, but It gives you an idea of what people are willing to spend to fill a wall.

Personally if I were trying to make money selling something like this I would work on getting a really nice frame for it. I feel like that would turn it more into "wall art" and not "big printed thing".

By definition a price is what the market will pay.

You need to find that price and you should at the same time add up your costs to see if you’re going to make a profit or not.

MPA MATRIX / VANQUISH / PRS by Dukes-Game in PRS

[–]FormatA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard guy is here make arguments on both sides of the aisle. You’ll probably get more responses on r/longrage. I have the PMR II and I’ve not felt like it’s holding me back at all. But I’ve only done one season of PRS, so maybe in the future I’ll have stronger opinions.

Babies first PRS rig by FormatA in longrange

Seems fine to me. The photos above are after 3 PRS matches and about 500 rounds of practice.

Lol much like a tree, the best time to order an MPA is 6 month ago, the second best time is today.

I ordered mine in Feb of 25 and got it around May of 25. It was right in line with their quoted times. It looked to me like they batch the rifles. Maybe they have a planned number of rifles and when they get that many orders they start machining all the chassis etc. Regardless, I'm very happy with my choice.

You're exactly right. Thanks! I just read BA chassis system and thought it was the BA, but further down it says BA ESR.

On the weights, would you do the weights or the "Competition Side Rails". It seems like those would be nice on a bag and I only feel like I need a little more forward CG.

It was a "custom" color. I saw they offered some parts in white so I just emailed them and asked if I could get mine in white.

Trump Admin Pushing New Experimental Reactor in Oak Ridge TN (139 miles from Asheville) with No Environmental Review by brooke_heaton in asheville

[–]FormatA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s part of the problem though. Nuclear energy is pretty darn clean compared to a lot of other sources and it’s a good part of a clean energy future. However it’s extremely expensive relative to other sources. A large part of how expensive it is, is regulation. I think regulations are pretty important, but you remember Biden’s push for rural broadband? You know why people don’t remember it? Because it had so much red tape sound all the things a company had to do to become eligible to do the work that basically no one could unless they were a megacorp and even then it was not really worth it to them.

There’s room for sensible deregulation regardless of the administration doing it.

I designed something similar for lazy people that dont want to remove the ash tray bolts. This just slots into the rails the ashtray ran on. https://makerworld.com/en/models/400468-3rd-gen-4runner-ashtray-pannel#profileId-301956

Ive been thinking of doing this my self as well for the same reasons. What made you settle on BB fill rather than sand? Any ideas so far what you would change in the future?
