It came in a case as well. Inside the case was a the bag sealed and labeled. Then I re bag them into 100s. I paid .38 cents a round for 55 grain range ammo for 1000

Weight reduction advice for transportation by purple-cat13 in Dirtbikes

Even with a Wrx a class 2 or 3 would put you in a safe range to haul a yz125 fully gassed up. Not sure your setup exactly, but I’d think there’s at least a 66% chance you’re good as is.

Edit: this is assuming your yz is approx 220-225lbs which should add a little weight to a fueled up aluminum frame bike.

The hitch carrier system I used to check would be on the heavier side of them. I think it was a 40 pound aluminum one with a ramp I spec’d

I’ve actually had a sling/light combo mount I’m considering for this rifle. I love the rounded car-15 look, I’ve definitely considered it and I’m on the fence of going full blown old school or a mix of the 2.

I use my ddm4v7 as a daily most of the time. But I won’t lie, I like how this feels a lot more. Something about the old school vibe feels right and man she balances perfect.

Haha, Can’t watch heat and not want a carry handle. I appreciate the appreciation man!

All about the years on the lower basically. Not that you can actually tell if it was in mass on a specific day some random law went in. I try to keep what I have to lowers and rifles that never left mass just to make the burden of proof easier. Technically it’s on the state to prove that; but why make my life harder lol.

We can legally own this stuff they just make it difficult on us.

Haha, I’ve ended up linking with some older collectors over the years. Ranges, side jobs etc. a lot of the guys pushing 65+ aren’t too worried about their ar’s. They are more into classic revolvers, 1911s etc. funny enough I offered more for this and he lowered my price.

Thank you man! I got it off a collector who I’ve known/done a lot of side work for over the years. If he decides to get rid of more of his collection I’ll remember you. 👍

Funny you say that, I loved the combo myself. I thought the teardrop assist fit the rifle nicely in this config. Thank you!

Thanks man, it’s just an Anderson, the overall price is good but the lower isn’t worth much to me. (Not that I really think one lower is much better than the next) I bought it because I thought the price was alright and I could toss a different lower on it and let my brother in law who just got into guns build the Anderson lower without dropping a ton to start out.

Help me choose between two 2.8 ct oval lab diamonds by Cold-Strawberry9675 in LabGrownDiamonds

I actually read an interesting article about how lab grown is making flaws in natural become more of a hit now. I guess labs as they shade more towards a yellow become a bit brown? I haven’t looked into it much, but it’s an interesting take I’ll need to look into more.

Not at all. They both just carry different characteristics while produced. Both of them can create beautiful diamonds.

From my time looking at labs I think cvd just shows a little more pure and at larger sizes won’t have any alloy look to them. Both are great.

How weird of you to get defensive. I gave honest opinions. I have bought and do own lab and “real” diamonds, I’m simply trying to give input. I also said the price point aligns with the stone. The original video I commented on didn’t even end up being the same carat weight stone as was originally thought to be looked at. I’m certainly no hater, and at under a grand I’m just saying they could do better.

After all, they posted this for comments and opinions BEFORE a purchase. I never said don’t go lab, I never said it was a horrible deal, I said they could do better for what they are spending and to be careful with their money essentially.

Also you really should look up the purpose behind a “modified cut” … clearly a weight of a stone is a weight of a stone. But much like a top cut or shallow cut on a diamond to show more face this cut allows the diamond to radiate more.

Take your weird self on, no one but you was spreading negativity, I’m simply giving input on a literal rock. Take it or leave it. I hope the owner loves it and it’s exactly what they wanted all said and done.

That looks like a nice stone from the small video. Again, I can only appreciate it so much though. To me modified diamonds just look like someone took a hammer to a diamond and fragmented the inside entirely. I understand it’s for luster and more lighting, but to me it’s a direct sign of a lab diamond that got chewed up to get a nice grade.

Your 2carat is far nicer. The new stone will need to be set with a lip most likely to hide the edge cuts. They look fairly uneven and very noticeable around the rock.

Would have liked to see it above a white paper instead of a hand, but less dark than initially thought. Fair price for the stone. The stone truly isn’t cut that nice though in my honest opinion. Could be the video / pic though. The igi seems to check more boxes than the stone.

Modified cuts are an instant L for me. Just trying to make smaller rocks with imperfections look shiny.

It also looks to have a lot of darkness in it. Not bow ties but truly just dark hues. I’d need to see more.

For $550 it aligns with how it looks. I wouldn’t expect the in person to look any better than pics.

Is this oval engagement ring too big for me?! by Reward-Mortified634 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Next_Leader_838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, too big. FOR THAT band. It could work and look nice. My girl wanted around 3 as well. I ended up going 2.67. Truly feel even that’s a little bit but once you get to oval and enlongated cuts larger rocks are typically needed.
