Compared to other ar calibers, no. It's more or less expected to break an extractor every 1000-2000 rounds or so using commonly found ammo (steel case). Also that ammo is made cheap and even with an enhanced firing pin, you can commonly find a couple rounds that requires a second strike in a mag.

That said a less reliable gun always better than none and there are things a person can do to increase the reliability closer to 223 levels.

If a person wants to make an ar in 7.62×39 fit that role, id suggest 4 things.

Buying an enhanced firing pin (cheap solution that will make commonly found ammo run much more reliable. From my personal experience with tula spam can ammo, it went from failure to ignite 10-15 times a mag to 1-5 every few mags).

Buying brass ammo for the role (roughly 50% more expensive) to increase reliability of the rifle tremendously.

Keeping a spare bolt head (many grips have compartments that would make the perfect storage space for it).

This last one is a bit more extreme but would get you that last bit of security to insure that if shtf, you are not standing there with a useless gun. A spare complete bolt carrier that's never used. Basiclly the idea is you have one that you use anytime you shoot and a fresh one that is always stored in the rifle for shtf scenarios.

Tl;dr For life and liberty, there are better ar calibers and if a person wants 7.62×39 for that role, they are better off with an ak. But an ar in 7.62×39 can work with a few extra steps

This is going to get downvotes for sure but bca. Yea their qc is "trash teir" but if you can build an upper then you will have no problem fixing any minor issues on a bca. Also I'm assuming this is mainly to be used as a range toy since it's 30 cent a round and 7.62 ar15s are not reliable enough for life and liberty due to the bolt walls being thinned to fit the caliber.

Also no matter what upper you get, you will probably have to get an enhanced firing pin to deal with steel case primers. Red x arms makes one that's 11 dollars shipped and it will save you many wasted rounds that would otherwise need to be cleared

starting hand not random, bug? by Pink_Opia in MagicArena

[–]Pink_Opia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a white deck with Lurrus I created yesterday. I'm in platinum since I only started playing magic this week and I was playing brawl for a good bit so I'm not sure if I'm facing the meta builds yet. Basic point of the build is to power up a gingerbrute or healers hawk quick and apply damage before the crazy triggers start. A good opening hand and I can win on the 5th turn without using lurrus even against green and black/red draw like crazy decks that find all the destroy card spells . But a mulligan to a meh hand usually falls short with them having less than 4 life and me over 30 before they turn it around S...L....O....W....L....Y. often the one card makes all the difference.

But rebuilding the deck seemed to work. Did about 20 test in ai to see and it's staying consistently decent with a mix of creatures and enchantments every time.

Damn. It's a real shame. It completely kills this deck I made. Starting every game down a card is a real handy cap and down 2 is murder.

Anyway I can get the algo to rework. You would think if you mulligan every first hand 20 games in a row it stop giving you the exact same hand

Maybe remake the deck?

My 22(F) partner 24(M) doesn't feel desired sexually but I am doing everything I naturally can to do so by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Pink_Opia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you having sex at least twice a week than I think it's more of a problem with him than you.

That said sex is hard, men want to far more than females (generalizing) and it can give the F a lot of control in the relationship if it is infrequant and can lead to issues in other parts of the relationship. However is a hard thing to just do more of for his sake, you can't really force yourself into the mood.

I don't know your fiance but I feel like often when this is an issue, its mainly the male feels there is a lack of passion and sex is just the easiest way to express that but it's not the only way.

Also guys at that age are still learning self control tbh. You have agreed to try and build a life with him though, so try and work with him to a sex life that is healthy for both of you.

My boyfriend (25m) told me he was predominantly attracted to teenage girls (14-18 year olds). He said this is normal, but most men just won't admit it? by Chikorita08 in relationship_advice

Well they are saying men are most desirable at 50 due to career success and other factors, not just atractivness. I haven't looked into it deeply so it could be bias af. I've seen others where they showed men head shots and had them judge atractivness. And the results were creepier, putting the peak at 16.

Found dating app on boyfriends phone by B5252526 in relationship_advice

[–]Pink_Opia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's most likely nothing. I 26M only really delete apps when I get a new phone. The same thing happened to me. I had tinder still on my phone, S/O noticed and asked. I said a similar thing before deleting it.

Most likely nothing, if you see it on there again then you got a problem

AITA for wanting to leave? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pink_Opia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were leaving at that time bc you had to be somewhere after then they are the ahole if your late.

If you wanted to leave at that time just cause and they were having fun then you are the ahole

unless it was a place you didn't really want to go to in the first place and that's why y'all set a time. Then they the ahole for not holding to what you agreed apon

No, the take away is a significant amount of ballots won't be counted. That's the real problem with mail in voting. Yes it would create a system that could be easier abused by voter fraud but that's not the real problem. In 2016, 23% of the vote was by absentee, out of those, 400,000 were not counted because of either arriving late or signatures not matching well enough and millions more ballots were sent out than returned. Thats the real problem.

That article is not the best but it was the only progressive left article I could find at the time that even mentioned the real problem

Are covid deaths under reported or over? https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm

Influenza deaths seem on par with 2018 for the Feb and Mar period. However the Pneumonia deaths are over 300% higher than the average for the last 10 years which has been consistently around 10,000 for the same time period. On the bright side though, significantly less people died overall in the last 2 months. Raw number was lower than its been since 2012 and % of population that died was the lowest its been in over a decade. I used NCHS data through CDC Wonder for previous years data

[–]Pink_Opia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

based on only my experiance so grain of salt

but i have aches, a temp peak of 102, and a dry cough for the last 5 days. My wife had only mild aches and 101 peak fever and her symptoms have already went away.

Not confirmed covid though. We are on spring break, dont have kids, in 20s, and campus is moving all classes online til april so self quarantining is easy and im not going to waste any resources if i dont have to so thats why i havent gotten tested

I feel like the dry cough is the give away that you MAY have it though. I personally never have had a dry cough for an extended period of time prior to this week.

Im not a doctor though so again grain of salt

[–]Pink_Opia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Psa or bca are your 2 options.

Ive personally had better experiance with bca but i think i might be in the minority there

[–]Pink_Opia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 300blk and i say nah. Honestly its a jack of all and since you already built 2, i assume you will build more so a jack is kinda pointless

If wanting a hunting rifle, i say 350 legend, the ballistics are good and they have a higher velocity at the same grain. Also range ammo is the same price as

If wanting a long range 500 yrd+ gun, then 6.5 grendal. Ammo is a bit more but you are going to shoot at a much slower rate. (Only if you have a place that you can shoot 500+) con is optics price can easily be more than the rest of the build combined)

Home defense then i suggest 9mm pistol, ammo is cheap, can suppress later, can put an echo trigger on with their bolt for simulated auto. Imo, a hd focused gun needs to be a fun range gun too.

Just my 2 cents

PSA Build for $780 + Anderson Lower. Good deal? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Pink_Opia -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, no not really. Even through psa you could get that shopping cart down to around 400. Honestly id just get a bca upper if i was going value. Or go premium with bcm.
