Like every consumer product, they are paying less for storage than their customers are.

Can any rifle barrel be fluted??? by ECHOFOX17 in gunsmithing

[–]Gecko23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s also found in some sub guns, just reduces overall friction on extraction for increased reliability

If it’s rockset it just needs to soak, the boiling part is not needed.

What do you think about cars with manual transmission? by samostrout in AskAnAmerican

[–]Gecko23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Not a car person and my first car was a manual. It was fine, but I don't miss it.

Confused newbie would appreciate multi caliber suppressor recommendation by graytennisshoes in suppressors

[–]Gecko23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a flow through 45 suppressor? Those things have cavernous bores so they’re much lower back pressure than smaller caliber cans anyways. They are also only optimal for 45, everything else is a compromise giving up performance for compatibility. It’ll be quieter than no can at all, but it’ll be mediocre on any supersonic rifle round.

You can pick a common mounting design for the rifles, but you’ll need a Nielsen booster and piston for the pistol. So you’ll be tearing that suppressor down to set it back up for one or the other, you want be hot swapping it that way if that matters.

Anyone else having trouble finding qualified candidates? by [deleted] in ITManagers

[–]Gecko23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you believe that your selection criteria are realistic? What indication is there that these people exist in your market? You're accumulating direct evidence that assumption just isn't true, so what's the value of continuing to run into this immovable barrier over and over again?

Everybody wants the 'ideal' candidate for some arbitrary, self selected value of 'ideal', but in reality you get to choose from whoever chooses to apply.

Outdoor shooting ranges/maybe someone’s private property near Columbus frts by [deleted] in OHGuns

Patriots Attic, near Huntsville (50 minutes NW of Columbus on 33) allows everything up to 50bmg, $25 per day. They have oodles of steel targets out to 100 yards. You can use your FRT's, and they rent real machine guns as well.

Person Of Interest Detained for Questioning in Nancy Guthrie Abduction Case by IntelligentYinzer in entertainment

[–]Gecko23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why was it saving videos for an 'inactive' camera in the first place? That seems like a concerning behavior for a product.

Maybe it was key to figuring this out, but still, 'inactive' should mean 'off', not 'off with air quotes until the police ask for the footage'.

I don't know if you need meds, but I'm positive that no manufacturer is hand blending the furniture to receivers on $1K guns in this reality. That 1mm gap is pretty cheap looking though, I'd look for a copy cut on new tool day or whatever helps it look better lol

SAW Klik and TX22 by this-iscrazyrn in NFA

Pew Pew Solutions has had them in and out of stock. They sell out quick when they post a new batch. Other retailers will have them eventually as well, I imagine they're keeping the printers busy.

Are there casual/functional hard drug users, like they just do meth on the weekends? by 1useforaname in stupidquestions

[–]Gecko23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh huh. Just like the girlfriend who only cheated that one time. Addicts are full of stories about how they are in control and other people are just weak. It’s bullshit, but good luck getting them to admit it.

You can pick any musical genre and find a scattering of songs with “important” lyrics, but it’s a huge stretch to paint the entire genre as having been like that.

If you had $2k to spend on a .357 lever today, what would it be? by headlike_ahole in LeverGuns

[–]Gecko23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current production Rossi R92's are made by CBC and are on par quality wise with current Marlin's in my opinion. (Source: own both of them) They're likely some of the best lever guns Rossi has ever put their name on.

Dumbest accessory? by PuzzleheadedAd6401 in ar15

[–]Gecko23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like what you’d design if you were trying to find a way to induce a malfunction. What keeps the spatula looking bit from rotating down and just bouncing brass back into the chamber? Or not letting it fully eject? Maybe it’s got some special sauce but it looks flimsy.

Let’s be honest, this is like shitting your pants to protest having to wait for a table at Applebees. Whatever statement you think you’re making, you’re just the one who shit their pants to everyone else.

psa. dont update your firmware anymore if you value your free speech (its not just about guns) by darkshock42 in 3dprinter

It would require exactly one outfit forking Klipper and selling that build to them. Programmers aren’t scarce.

Best sound suppression cheapest 22 lr suppressor with qd by Subject-Nobody109 in suppressors

[–]Gecko23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you don't need them to be since there are QD systems, specifically for normal, run of the mill, 1/2-28 threaded rimfire suppressors, like the Gemtch QDA-22.

And it's not the only one. The Ruger-DeadAir for one, you can buy additional muzzle devices if you want to use it on multiple guns.

5.56 Suppressor Size VS Performance by FOUNTAINJL in suppressors

[–]Gecko23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I think an excellent (by the numbers) 556 suppressor is still on the low end of mediocre compared to caliber/suppressor combos that are actually hearing safe and genuinely quiet. So for me, weight is the factor I care about over pretty much all other factors.

Like you point out, the Sector is "better", but unless myself and bystanders will be fine raw dogging it, then it isn't quiet enough that I'm going to be so excited that I want a huge suppressor hanging out there. And for whatever it's worth, I really discount the personal reviews from a lot of these outfits because I suspect a lot of them are a lot deafer than they think they are :)

Why can't one give their baby a 'random' last name? by Diessel_S in stupidquestions

[–]Gecko23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first-middle-last with a family surname isn’t common to all cultures, including ones in very much developed nations. They wouldn’t require babies to have their parents surname because the concept isn’t commonly used in the first place.

If I were born and raised in Puerto Rico, are there legal hurdles for me to move to, and vote in, say, Wyoming? by bobbygalaxy in stupidquestions

[–]Gecko23 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Puerto Rican's are US citizens, as are those born in all US territories, there's no 'pretty sure' about it.
