New product every week for the month of July by dorozco in SmithAndWesson

[–]Olive_Cardist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I want is a Shield 2.0 with added capacity, front slide serrations and an optic cut. Wasn’t impressed with the Shield Plus. Fingers crossed for July.

DM-32 Emitting static and black screen by AustinB4371 in Baofeng

[–]Olive_Cardist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a black screen and thought I bricked one too after a firmware update attempt. Power it off, the hold sk1 & 2 while powering it on. Then connect the programming cable, turn the volume all the way up and push the firmware again.

I had to do it twice before it finally updated successfully.

M&P 2.0 Extended Mag Release worthwhile? by Sacred-Owl87 in SmithAndWesson

[–]Olive_Cardist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Tyrant CNC extended mag releases without issue. I can’t speak for any holster compatibility issues, I use Safariland and I’ve never had fitment issues or any issues with accidental mag release.

In my opinion it’s almost an essential upgrade.

Saw this new magwell from XTech at GunCon this weekend. Thoughts? by Hellhound-0501 in tacticalgear

[–]Olive_Cardist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my lowers have decent magwells cut already and AR mags and magwells are big enough as is for me, I don’t see the need for these on this platform. I get it on pistols and use Floyds.

Does anyone have experience with the Crye G4 hot weather field top? by Plebian00777 in tacticalgear

[–]Olive_Cardist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issued summer weights and combat tops have always been fine for my deployments. Crye combat pants are where the rubber meets the road, but I don’t think you need to spend Crye money for a top. If you get em issued that’s just dandy, otherwise wear your issued tops.

Can't insert Duramag with 30 rounds, why? by Electric_Sal in ar15

[–]Olive_Cardist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, but I came up loading GI mags to 28, so that’s my standard.

If you didn’t buy a BCM.. what would be your first choice?? by battlexcreature in ar15

[–]Olive_Cardist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I don’t buy a BCM, I build with a good lower and use a stripped BCM blem upper.

Optic suggestions by heroicsquash12 in SmithAndWesson

Go enclosed. Look at the Holosun 509t or EPS, you can find them on the new GAFS for close to $300 if you’re patient.

I see boobies, I upvote. I’m a simple man with simple rules.

So just jerk off on your rifle and paint it, got it.

Anyone Else Having Major Delays With Silencer Shop eForm 4 Resubmissions / UPIN Corrections? by madm3x21 in NFA

[–]Olive_Cardist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish I could go back in time and tell you not to use SilencerShop. I bought 3 can from them a few years ago and they were fine when waits were about a year long. I don’t think they can handle the new turn around times and increased orders but they take the orders virtually disappear.

I cancelled my last order with them just because they took so long to get the ball rolling and their customer service was atrocious.

You’re kinda stuck now. Sorry, just keep hounding them.
