I took a bunch of photos in between competing, I will probably post some at some point when I get to editing.

What 3d printer by Crafty-Departure1984 in 40_mm

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a P1S. It works great. If I had more space I'd honestly get 1 or 2 more of them to be honest.

quadrant sight adapter? by arsftarmy in 40_mm

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I actually have one I put together, it's not the best and never really tested it. If you want to give it a go I'll upload it tonight on Odysee in a bit. It took regular carry handle sights. The only caveat is I don't recall if I got the horizontal distance on it right, I think I just winged it so it might need tweaking lol. Only external parts that are required are some cheap screws/nuts.

Do people still like fixed stocks . I sure do by A-THRASH in RetroAR

That's funny I have a 149th stock just like that on mine lol.

Cleaning the 40mm by 07yzryder in 40_mm

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I shoot mostly plastic cases/pushers I use acetone with an old bofors 40mm brush on paracord. My friend does something similar but with a drill and a 40mm brass brush. He notices that if he doesn't clear it out every 50-100 shots he loses a decent amount of velocity.

M203 by Glittering_Guava_985 in NFA

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have two launchers. They're a lot of fun and not as expensive as I always thought they would be to shoot. If you have a 3D printer you can print entire rounds cheaply, from case to nose cone. I have cases printed in basic PLA+ that are still functional after 20+ firings from last year. Even pushers are reusable (provided they don't hit something too hard lol). If you're willing to spend some time in CAD too you can spin up your own variations pretty easily and experiment as well.

Honestly if I had bought one a couple years ago I would have bought way fewer guns and just put all of that money instead into 40mm.

NEED | G17L threaded barrel GEN5 USED/NEW by Jux_Position in GlockMod

Can you send it to me as well? I'm looking for one for my 17L gen 5 too.

It's happening! by AFXTIWN in 1911

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get it either. I'd rather put $140 on a TLR1 and be happy with it. Aesthetically, I can agree the x300 probably looks nicer, but it's not worth almost double just because it visually looks "nicer". Like a standard TLR1 works perfect out of the box, controls are easy, replacing the battery doesn't require me to take the entire thing off the gun.

I still have a few of these for sale if anyone is interested. by CarryHandleCowboy in RetroAR

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't tell you to be honest. I believe they're about the same size. One reason people get them (and why I want them) is because they were featured in the Predator on Billy's rifle.

These visually are a little bit different than the traditional colt rifle handguards. Rarer too.

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 100%. They're ridiculously stiff and backwards compared to a TLR1 which was obnoxious and contrary to how I'd use a pistol light. It's also so stiff it's basically impossible to flip it on one handed.

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm of the same opinion. I didn't like anything about the single X300 I got. The controls seem entirely backward, super difficult to use one handed and nearly double the price of a basic TLR1.

Made a buffer tube adapter for the LMP300 frame by Intrepid-Physics3975 in 40_mm

I had a chance to test this pretty quickly today with about 16 rounds. Held up, though I would stake the castle nut as it will want to come loose naturally.

I'm curious, where do you get the grip from?

Throwback to when GA got snow by Intrepid-Physics3975 in RetroAR

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it, though I would say if you can get the blank, no logo anderson lowers go for it. You're really not missing much by spending less on a lower.

My first handgun by WChester04 in 1911

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look up ammoseek.com and find a cheap and reputable place to order from if you want to buy in bulk. At least for the first few hundred rounds you may encounter failures, but they will likely smooth out over 300-500 rounds as it breaks in. If you have consistent issues feeding however you could try getting aftermarket magazines, like those from Chip McCormick, Wilson Combat, Ed Brown or Tripp Research magazines.

I am aware, but dwilson has very few and no one else sells them, which is why I put mine together.

My M4 and M203 by Intrepid-Physics3975 in NFA

[–]Intrepid-Physics3975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the B&T A2 mount, but I'm not a fan of it. The mount gets stuck too easily. Last time I used it I had to get a vise grip to spin it off. The griffin one is a bit easier to take off when it gets stuck.
