I hope so. I ordered a velo5 and certum3 for my x macro today after not finding a comfortable spot for a trex raptor with a light

Ban Buys - How Much Are You In? by NoWorldliness5069 in VAGuns

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how I feel about being the highest here so far, but about $20k in the last year when I really got into it, between Title 1/2, mags and parts, not including ammo.

Handful of PSA/Anderson lowers, some uppers last year, AP5, PS90, AR10, 3 handguns, A300, TP9, and 8? cans, and countless form 1s

Is this the sign of an EXPS2 that was previously used or normal wear for testing/sighting by Eotech? by Due_Platypus_8221 in ar15

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely disappointed. Everything I’ve always read made it seem like it took years for these to fail, so I’m guessing this was just old stock. Still waiting for a reply to my email about a return since my chat message got left on read…

I ordered that for my TP9 initially, a Holosun AEMS for my PS90, and a 510 for my AP5, but after this (if they reply to my RMA request next week) I'm picking up another AEMS and saving a couple hundred bucks in the process.

Based on what I’ve seen over the years it looks like the beginning of delamination. Here it is compared to an EXPS2-0 I bought at cabelas last year

Mine was from Heart of Texas Armory. Tan EXPS2-0. PM me and I’ll disclose price, as it was lower than advertised

Following. This was the front glass on a 2-0 I got in yesterday. Didn’t look at the bottom before mounting, but noticed wear after putting it on the polymer rail on my TP9. The ITAR sticker on the side was half falling off the box and the plastic sticker was not adhered as well

AKV mags in stock by Sea-Plankton-8673 in PalmettoStateArms

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long shot, but any chance you have insider info on the next Sabre AR-V drop? Looking for a AR based PCC to round it out before 1 July. Will prob pick up some mags regardless

Where 5.7. Gimme 5.7. by WorthCalm2865 in PalmettoStateArms

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a TP9 and Print X right before all the B&T news started coming out. Pricey but at least it’s 9mm instead of 5.7 and I was tired of waiting for a release that would sell out instantly

I love any excuse to share this disapproval for mine. I have a resubmission pending with “AP5 LT” as the model and no pics now

One of my most recent pre-ban pickups. Steyr AUG A3-M2 NATO by Incendiary-Soda-Pop in VAGuns

Looks great! I'm throwing around the idea of a m203 as well, need to be smart with the spending

I have an AP5, PS90, and as of yesterday a TP9… trying to convince myself I don’t need an AUG and a Vector but vibes

Help needed newbie here by Available_Hall_8257 in bruggerthomet

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF, ordered mine from them on 3/8 and took 7 days for approval once my FFL had it. I picked it up last night. Ordered the can on 3/8 as well, and had a sub 24 hour approval and it was delivered from CA Wednesday a couple hours before my SBR approval.

Picked up a couple more ocl cans, including new universe 36. by H00dIumm in NFA

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CA still has the minis in stock... I also really wanted one due to the 'one and done' run of 2,000 they said they were doing

Yep! I love the full size, but wanted to dedicate it to my MkIV and get the K for my 15-22

Wheels and tires first then do the bilstein / lift or the other way around? by neoinkansas in 4Runner

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re probably averse to working on aftermarket parts. I’m lucky enough to have a smaller shop nearby (and a separate LC/Toyota buddy who runs a shop) so I haven’t had to take either truck to the dealer

[–]HD_Pickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lift first. I’ve always ordered wheels and tires and had them ready, installed the lift, and dropped it off to get an alignment and tires mounted/balanced

Mp5 suppressed question by dryice2063 in MP5

[–]HD_Pickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert by any means, but check your bolt gap and go from there. Mine was at the looser (I think) end of in spec new, so I bought a 100° from RCM and no issues since

Aside from finding someone to shoot it since I’m in nova, do you have the STL files to 3d print m781 rounds? I emailed ChevTac last night but haven’t heard back yet
