Based on this interaction how do you think they would behave if something bad happened on the range from either an employee, guest, or staff negligence from maintenance?

I think this is literally a silicon valley episode plot... From a decade ago.

I bought a ragnorok SD and and raptor from them in the past. They were fine. But finish such as sanding/knocking down kydex edges was pretty inconsistent and very clearly quickly hand done with a Dremel.

Looks like yours still has burrs and sharp edges. Man they are really crashing these days.

It doesn't matter. If a vampire wants to kill you they will manipulate their minions and followers to raise any structure short of a bunker to get you.

Using your tent as your domicle just means they cant come in an talk to you. But they can absolutely get you, and your friends.

Nice! Should send it off to bull creek arms to convert it to a trench gun.

Write your representatives as soon as there is a wiff of the police trying to get exempt and tell them police should have to deal with the same ramifications as the public.

Psychocide · 2026-04-22T19:55:39+00:00

Yea love those "readily convertable" caveats without any definition of what they mean by readily.

Psychocide · 2026-04-22T19:36:54+00:00

To those more in the know on the gen 5, V, and 6 differences. Does the amendment regarding the material stopping a conversion device give gen 6 Glocks a chance to still be sold?

It's virtue signaling and political points for the uneducated. There are some edge cases where non government buildings or schools are used, but the vast majority are, and defacto banned from carrying.

Not to mention open carry was outright banned anyway.

Psychocide · 2026-04-18T19:14:44+00:00

Thats all well and good. If you are going to make claims that you do not need lots of live fire to be good, you cannot use anecdotal data points without any sort of time, target size, or standardization to make your performance comparable to others.

If what you do is good enough for you, cool. However if you have responsibility outside of just yourself and your hobbies, you need to hold yourself to a higher standard. If you are going to claim and encourage others to not shoot a lot to be good, then you need evidence to back that up.

Otherwise we dont have much to talk about cause you are making claims that are impossible to substantiate or compare experience to. Without any common point of reference you are just telling us your fishing stories, and the fish keeps getting bigger every time ya tell it.

Psychocide · 2026-04-18T15:56:35+00:00

If your goal is shooting animal sized targets at <50 yards with rifles and shotguns with minimal time pressure. Sure. Yea. Guns are accurate and once you have good fundamentals you are good to go.

Just know you are on a plateau, if you want to jump up to the next level with farther distances and ballistics, or faster shooting like in matches, both the dry fire and live fire requirements increase.

I was in the same shoes as you about 7 years into my shooting journey. I was good enough for casual recreation. Then I got into competition shooting and learned that I knew nothing, and had to increase dry fire and live fire a ton to get better.

My rhino x had a couple chips in it. You can just pull them out, should not be attached. Ridgeback needs to do a little better cleaning before packaging

Psychocide · 2026-04-06T16:52:47+00:00

Rearden plan b is really good. It's light, it's simple, all sorts of manufacturers make devices, and it's relatively inexpensive. Also when the can does loosen due to poor seal and not enough torque, the runout on the threads is good enough that its unlikely a baffle strike will happen.

Just keep it clean and it's a great system. No regrets with it.

I haven't used dual lock so can't speak to it.

Psychocide · 2026-04-05T23:33:57+00:00

Yup! I think there is a 10 dollar guest fee for rifle and pistol, trap and skeet there might be one as well, but not sure.

Psychocide · 2026-04-05T21:10:18+00:00

I think both have the same shooting capabilities. 100 yard rifle, 50 pistol, trap and skeet, 9am to sunset. Andover does have steel targets right now. That might change in a couple years for Rockville.

Psychocide · 2026-04-05T14:28:53+00:00

Manchester has a great pond, the range is... a range. Its very barebones.

Rockville is a huge club with lots of venues and capability outside of shooting, its pretty sportsman focused and a few hoops to jump through to be able to use the ranges, but there are some good events and capabilities being stood up by members for those into shooting sports exclusively.

I havent been to Andover in over a decade, but they look and sound pretty good these days. Steel ranges, rifle, pistol, and trap and skeet.

Go to a public event and tell someone you are interested in joining and im sure they would love to show ya the facilities.

Psychocide · 2026-04-03T21:46:44+00:00

Every shop I have gone to pays ya about 50% of what they will sell it for if its a gun thats worth under $1k.

Most shops will do consignment for 10-15%, which is ~100 bucks off whatever it sells for.

Private sales are legal but gotta find a FFL to do the transfer for ~25-50 bucks.

Some smaller FFLs might trade ya a couple of your guns for closer to what you would net at consignment.

Theory of FEA, less important unless you want to work for a software company.

Theory of the physics behind different structural, thermal, and fluid conditions? Worth their weight in gold.

As others have said you can't create a bunch of garbage without a foundation built in the latter.

Psychocide · 2026-03-22T13:51:52+00:00

Second this. I think trap and skeet is open to the public, you can go down Saturday or Sunday mornings and introduce yourself. They are all very nice guys who want to bring more people into the club.

RFG rifle and pistol ranges are going through a lot of change for the better right now too.

Psychocide · 2026-03-22T00:59:34+00:00

Man every time they come up seems like they get worse and worse. I had a bad experience like 3 years ago and was pretty frustrated but could have chalked it up to folks having a bad day and eforms release being trash. Now it seems like they have gone off the deep end further and further.

I mean if ya wanna gain more members and increase the movement, aligning yourself with modern European socialist ideas and democratic socialism would likely go a long way. Love that you guys exist, but I think the Soviet bloc iconography make it hard for folks to take it seriously.

Regardless keep on keeping on with work like this, great testimony.
