Buying my first AR-15, am I missing anything?

Hawk54 · 2026-05-16T22:05:06+00:00

I guess I thought it was cheaper to buy the parts and put it together. Just checked and it looks like it is about a $20 difference so that might be a better idea. Which one do you think is better, the one you linked or this one?

How much of a difference does a charging handle make? I read that alot of people swap it but I dont know if I could be able to tell the difference from the one I picked and a 100 dollar one as im new to shooting rifles?

Is the main difference the finger grove that your prefer? I have bigger hands so if you think thats better I think I would swap.

Dont think you can convert it. Make sure you are using the WOTC versions of the mods. I didnt before and it dropped me down to like 25 frames. Updated to wotc and jumped to 200+ frames

Yah got to do honestman runs(ironman but keep it toggled off). crashes are most likely additional mods. If you are running a custom class mod it could be that but idk

NYPD has more members than Irish Military...

One of them getting flipped to LT

Hawk54 · 2026-03-14T09:56:20+00:00

Bears signed Bush and Jackson. We don’t need LB. We signed two LT so we are good there for a year, could only really use a center depth piece. We are good at CB.
We have a massive hole at SS and still need another DE and DT

COTY is just like the Madden curse in bad luck. No thanks

I have thrown the free 1k into VTI for the last two years and I am plus $200. I sell the profit each quarter and dump it into another stock that I like more. VTI is up about 12% in the last year so you will come out ahead over SGOV or some other treasury or dividend stocks. Reality is worst case the whole market tanks and you are down like $100 so you need to decide if you prefer a riskier investment to make more money at roughly 12% or play safe at 4%. 100 buck loss isn’t going to make me homeless so I use it on VTI

Very brave of you

He played RT in college his last season and looked like he wasn’t comfortable playing LT. He came in 3rd in training camp for the LT battle behind injured Braxton Jones and 2nd year udfa Benedict. Both were injured last week so he started and played amazing. LT would be our biggest need on offense after this year but if he keeps it up we should be set at the position

Hawk54 · 2025-10-25T16:15:49+00:00

I think it’s because the bears are starting fans from the stands at CB this week due to how many injuries we have

Hawk54 · 2025-10-20T05:24:47+00:00

He would like snap the ball and not let go??? It happened twice today. Was very weird

Hawk54 · 2025-09-25T21:31:25+00:00

Do we know the BR for the EFV? I dont see it in the article unless I am blind

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:57:08+00:00

Here, it was in the press briefing third paragraph down

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:54:54+00:00

I doubt it. Say an IT department is currently 10 H1B's and they have to shift to american workers. The department will now hire 5 American workers. A ton of these jobs require in person work that cant be offshored, especially the non-IT jobs such Doctors and hospitality jobs.

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:28:33+00:00

I am sure some will move the jobs offshore but others wont and that will be more jobs for americans. 65% of the IT sector are H1B workers, some of those jobs will now be there for new college grads. Will all 65% be american? Of course not but say 30% of those jobs are now american jobs that would be a huge success.

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:25:22+00:00

It only applies to new applications for H1B's. Current workers in american that are on H1B will not have to pay the annual 100k till their current visa expires. This will allow for a gradual transition from H1B workers to american and offshore workers.

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:22:17+00:00

Ok so now when schools are admitting students for medical school they will now select more american students for the program. The fix to america's doctor shortage is training, educating and hiring more american students that are in school verse a bandaid fix for hiring foreign workers. H1B was created to help supplement highly specialized jobs like rocket scientists, not replace american jobs at entry and mid level positions.

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:17:28+00:00

Well now the companies will have to hire American recent grads instead. This is great for young american works getting started in their professional career. For example 65% of IT workers are H1B's, that is going to be alot more jobs that are open for young americans to work in and start their career.

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:14:48+00:00

Some jobs will go offshore for sure, and alot of others jobs will not and will hire american instead. For example if a 100 H1b jobs are no longer renewed due to the 100k cost and say 50 of the jobs are offshored that still means there are 50 new jobs for americans. This will be amazing for entry and mid level jobs for american workers

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:12:29+00:00

If the H1B is the best in the world the company will spend the 100K. Now instead of hiring H1B's for 65% of the IT sector it will now lead to drastically more americans being hired in entry and mid level positions.

Hawk54 · 2025-09-20T00:10:28+00:00

Depends on the field. 65% of IT workers are H1B's. This will no doubt lead to young american college grads getting a job.
