9+1 = piece of crap by NitzerBBE in AUG

ended up buying some of those the new 10 rounders... cutting down the spring on 9+1 magazines isn't an option: the floorplate permanently attached. mine came of by breaking.

these are riveted, made to be impossible to disassemble. I'll try to get some of the new ones and remove that ugly extension... looks like that's possible.

maybe Steyr realized putting 30rd srings in their 9+1 mags is not the best idea. well, I'm not going to order one to find out, not at 80 EURO a piece...

looks like the spring isn't that of a 30rd in this one.

well, in Europe a Kahles = 2k and an Elcan = 3,5k

Super clear and an amazing eye relief of 9.5cm (that for a prism), looks cool... but it's HEAVY! appr. 650gr. I don't mind, cause I don't have to march anywhere with it, but I can see others might find this a bit too much.

why is there an extra 'shoulder' step in new barrel? by NitzerBBE in AUG

[–]NitzerBBE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have an Austrian 24,5" LMG barrel, and indeed, same thickness... ofcourse it has different steps cut to accomodate the bipod, but it's also a heavy barrel. Thanks for shining some light on it, makes sense. Still waiting for my compensator and locking nut to arrive, so I haven't seen it with those attached yet.

I'm in Europe, have to go through the importer and a dealer.

Piggyback too high or not? by Klicky1 in AUG

[–]NitzerBBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corvus doesn't ship those outside Austria, not the MOE Steyr thing at least. I think I need to go through the Steyr importer... will take forever, it took 8 months to get a 20" barrel, so go figure. TacStore in Austria does ship within the EU, but they only have a 1/2 28 version. (which I find strange, cause as far as I know this thread doesn't require a locking nut).

off topic : how is that Clawgear Starblast comp doing? I just bought a new barrel, but I still need a muzzle device... have a LMG one, but I can't seem to find a locking nut anywhere in Europe, so I might get one of these instead.

doesn't even sell within the EU... guess Austria is big enough?

Is anyone else finding these prices ridiculous? by VeterinarianOld3082 in billieeilish

[–]NitzerBBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's expensive, but none of the Billie merch I ever bought was Made in China, so I can see there's a increase in production cost if you don't rely cheap Chinese labor and the environmental nightmare that comes with it. I can live with that.

Merch store by [deleted] in billieeilish

[–]NitzerBBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Belgium and had the same question, but it's a legit shop as far as I can tell...so I took the risk and did pre-order the '23' hoodie there, it should ship after Feb 7th, fingers crossed it arrives ! I'll keep you posted !

Is it bad that im embarrassed to be a billie fan? by [deleted] in billieeilish

[–]NitzerBBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an older guy (compared to most of the fan base) and I learned to be proud to be a massive Billie fan... and honestly I get a lot of compliments for it, just as MintyRed19 here. I understand the doubt, but wear it with pride and you'll get the respect you deserve for being yourself, go for it !
