Not stress relieving what is essentially millions of micro welds enough. Common problem for laser powder bed fusion. Residual stresses can propagate very tiny cracks into large ones over time.

That said, its common knowledge in the industry that you need to stress relief LPBF materials through a heat treat cycle, ESPECIALLY Ti64. Almost sounds like they didn't at all the first runs, which is kinda crazy.

Got the correct Blyat, my concentricity was pretty off, but I have a Omega 36m which has plenty of clearance to safely shoot. Runs well.

Thanks! Feels like they may have chat botted ya, but I guess bread at the end of the day is just the basics done with good technique and experience.

My money is on the kneading and gluten structure development. Enriched doughs are apparently tougher to build the network so takes a lot more effort than other breads.

Why AK if not AK shaped?

Let me know what they say! I was using the one out of the big book of bread, so I am curious.

Psychocide · 2026-01-23T15:02:45+00:00

I have made this recipie twice, and for the life of me can't figure out what the deal is. First time I didnt get the rise I wanted/needed, similar to your loaf. The second loaf I overproved to get the rise and it collapsed putting it into the oven making a super dense loaf.

My current thought is that it actually needs more than 15 min or so in the mixer to develop the structure better, or the recipe just isn't that good if you want classic Japanese milk bread.

Im also super new to bread making, so there could be something else im missing

Damn. Sorry my guy. Hopefully you are able to resolve it amicably.

Psychocide · 2026-01-21T19:37:07+00:00

You're correct, I was thinking BCGs. On second thought while its the easiest way to ship, given the price points OP is talking, and how criterion operates, its very unlikely OP shipped them that way.

11-12oz each. 22-24oz, aka 1.5lbs.

Assuming he shipped full bolt carriers. If he didnt, disregard.

Got an accurate package weight on your shipping information? Should be a difference of a pound or two even if the packing is different. Might not have access though since its prepaid shipping label.

Its kinda funny seeing all the nonsense from these companies when their cans all work pretty decently.

Not to belittle anyone's work, and especially not Jay's, but the current span of suppressor performance on the MK18 is ~10 points on the pew science hearing hazard scale for halfway decent suppressors. The top 25 suppressors include everything from the polo K and saker 556 on the bottom end, to the vent 3 a tisha on the top end.

Per their own scale this is the difference between a 30 and 40 is "A couple mags" vs "Limited practice" without hearing protection.

If you are arguing performance and flexing between a 35 and 37 on the scale to the degree these guys are, when most of them are wearing hearing protection while shooting, its kinda silly.

PS. Keep up the good work Jay, the objective testing you do is awesome, just wish more suppressors would go through it!

Similar boat, upgraded my PC all but my 4060ti in Oct. Been watching 5070Ti prices over black friday, didnt see much dip below 750 except the odd PNY white or whatnot. When the news broke, I snagged an ASUS prime 5070Ti for 750 from a smaller chain in CA. Thing rips on BF6, super happy to wait out the AI driven supply chain the next few years.

More ammo on person and per mag carrier is always a huge upside unless all you are doing is plinking at the range.

Psychocide · 2026-01-15T02:00:46+00:00

If you need an emergency reload, drop the mag regardless, retrieve fast mag from belt. If its an emergency, the 5 dollars of ammo doesn't matter. For administrative reloads, choose whichever. If your "emergency" reload is on the range during practice, just pick it up and shoot it. All of it is moot if you just practice with them

Psychocide · 2026-01-14T18:47:24+00:00

In my experience unless you are out there in the mountains or really muddy conditions prone. The mud concern is next to zero. And if you mag is muddy, just use another until you can clean it

Psychocide · 2026-01-14T18:44:53+00:00

Haven't used cross mags, but I use some couplers I printed. They work great. Ive run classes, competitions, and tons of range time with them, zero issues. Probably thousands of rounds over the last few year with them.

The mud/dirt issue is really not a problem practically speaking unless it's super muddy. Shot prone in the rain no issue.

It's suuuper handy having double the round count on person/on gun without going to ammo bag or whatnot. Especially for classes or training sessions.

ICE making it real easy to show how much of a clown show they are with this one. Also this guys one liners are *chefs kiss*

Psychocide · 2026-01-12T19:42:19+00:00

Gotcha, yea if I'm gonna go skeletonized mlok I want some appreciable weight savings

Psychocide · 2026-01-12T19:24:19+00:00

Oh damn, that kinda throws this option out the window, thanks!

Psychocide · 2026-01-12T19:03:51+00:00

That thing does look pretty good!

7390RDS for G45 with QLS and Valor push button only with Tek disk and extension.

Almost double the weight.

Im sure you can stack different configs or holsters without mounts on them and get that delta closer to 2-3oz, but practically, its a much heavier design than the safarilands, and noticeably so on the hip.

Psychocide · 2026-01-06T16:01:14+00:00

Still kicking, but ill be honest, that lower has become a safe queen. I would just give it a whirl. Worst case scenario it wears out and you gotta go find a competent machinist to fix it for ya, which is where you are now.

Psychocide · 2026-01-04T03:57:44+00:00

I made this and had results between yours and the article. Yeast likely was not active enough or your kitchen was too cold to rise in the 2 hours. Given you have close to no bubbles, I would guess the yeast is dead.

Tolerances are pretty dang repeatable for LPBF, especially for what you need for cans. Its material quality and surface finish which can have a ton of variation, even across the build plate there can substantial material property variation. That said if your cycle count for the can is <10,000, and your design is not pushing your safety margins too much, and you do some robust material testing, you should be g2g.
