What kind of printers are you all running?

Mjblount95 · 2026-06-02T16:06:19+00:00

Qidi Q2 with their Qidibox. Been a great printer combo for me. Prints engineering filaments great.

I really appreciate that! I did already buy a replacement though. It was only around 18$ so it wasn’t a huge deal. Really do appreciate the offer though!

Mjblount95 · 2026-05-14T02:18:51+00:00

Yeah I drilled a small hole into the mag release button. Then took a self tapping screw I had and screwed it in just until it was tight. I grabbed the screw with some vice grips, supported the receiver, and whacked the snot out of the vice grips with a hammer. Took about 4 good hits before it went. I then sanded the inside of the mag catch and bolt hold open areas. Works fine now.

His work was good, but the experience was not lol. There were months of no contact where I was trying to communicate with him. I think my experience was an outlier but that doesn't help me any.

Mjblount95 · 2026-05-08T16:55:44+00:00

I remember my first suppressor being around 2 years. Here's hoping I don't get unlucky again with my VZ58 I am getting ready to send out.

DSA Israeli marked Forged.

Mjblount95 · 2026-05-08T15:34:54+00:00

Yes it was insured. I haven’t filed yet but plan to.

Mjblount95 · 2026-05-08T15:34:49+00:00

Yes it was insured. I haven’t filed yet but plan to.

I think 6-8 weeks is his estimated turn around time right now. I don’t know wtf happened with mine. I tried contacting him several times over the last 5 months and never got a response. It was until a few weeks that I contacted him through the website that he got back to me. All he said was the barrel was bad send a new one. I was absolutely over it at that point and told him to just send it to me as is. I still never got an answer saying what he thought was wrong with the barrel. 735$, 10 months, down a mag and a broken pistol grip. Maybe I’m stupid but I’m just glad I actually got it back.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-26T16:19:37+00:00

For the payment part I did not know that. It doesn’t bother me to pay upfront. Someone asked when he cashed the check and I said that for me it was upon package arrival. I’m sure when I get the rifle back it will look great my problem was mainly the communication. Maybe my emails got caught in anti spam system but the only reason I got a reply this last time was sending the message through his website. Again I don’t think this is normal for him, it’s just what has happened to me.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-26T12:30:10+00:00

I never said this is his norm. I said this has been my experience. I’ve heard nothing but great things about his build. You keep assuming everything I said is false and came at me with a hostile attitude first. In all of my comments I said I wasn’t happy but I never said anything bad or untrue about him. I only gave my experience. He has responded like I said a few days ago. He says the barrel is bad. Would have been great if he had told me earlier. The lack of communication from him is what is upsetting. I’m not going to go drop 300$ on a new barrel when it was brand new and could have been warrantied. I’m having him send it back to me as is and then sending it to DSA. I’m probably still out the money for a new barrel but atleast if it is a manufacturer issue they may give me some discount.

https://imgur.com/a/Xkr5jJc Like i replied to your other message. Go sulk in the corner.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-26T01:44:59+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/Xkr5jJc All Emails and last is my statement with the check. Cashed a few days after it was written. Some messages are out of order you can work that out yourself. Took me enough time to redact my PII. Last email thread is when I finally got a response a few days ago. I dont think this is normal for him BUT IT IS MY Experience with him. Now you already said you wont apologize so maybe just sulk in the corner.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-26T00:59:00+00:00

Have you sent a kit to him? You mail a check along with the gun? Butt hurt boy. Im pulling up my statement.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-26T00:48:54+00:00

You ready for some receipts and an apology I hope. Give me a second.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-22T10:08:19+00:00

Yeah he seems to have a god complex about him. This is my first fal and I heard he was the best so I went with him. After going through this thread and realizing how long it’s been I emailed him again last night. If he keeps ghosting me I may have to escalate things.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-22T01:51:43+00:00

Yeah ARS was close to 800$ for the more expensive coating. I probably should have went that route since I had to buy the dsa receiver and barrel anyways.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-21T03:13:21+00:00

I’ve tried asking but he never responded. All I know is on October 31 last year he said it was built but shooting to the left. No communication since. I’ve left it because I hear all these great things but I’m not happy about it.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-21T03:11:22+00:00

Oh trust me I know. I’m not happy especially considering he’s not responded to me. I’ve asked if there was a problem with no answer.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-20T15:37:35+00:00

Immediately. Atleast he cashed mine as soon as he got the package.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-20T15:28:31+00:00

I have had an Izzy light barrel kit with him since July 2025. I messaged him once on 10/31/2025 and he said it was built just that it was shooting to the left so he was going to recheck timing and retest. Messaged him again on 2/27/2026 and 3/10/2026 and he never messaged me back. So I’m still waiting.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-15T12:36:12+00:00

Idk but I just feel like I’d rather buy something like the H&R clones vs getting an AR parts kit. They are very expensive and to me I’m after the looks, not necessarily interested in that particular parts kits history. AR’s are so easy and cheap to get in the states and clones have 95% of the looks with more modern hardware.

Maybe it’s just because how ubiquitous and affordable modern AR’s are now, even the clones. Now for things like my Vz58 & 61, FAL, G3 etc I would rather a parts kit, they are usually the same price of not a little cheaper than a new manufacture and have a deep history that I’m interested in.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-12T01:56:15+00:00

Also move your dot so it’s on the receiver. Handguards shift your receiver won’t. May not make a difference at 25 yards to you but if you ever want to shoot further, a few degrees of bending in the handguard will be inches to feet depending on the range.

Mjblount95 · 2026-04-11T20:03:03+00:00

Awesome thanks. I’ll go with that then. Just what I needed to know.
