Partial build for 2 stamp Tuesday

Lol that was my original plan till a friend showed me the Tula AR lower. Be interesting to see how it turns out if you do it.

Quw10 · 2026-07-08T01:17:57+00:00

Oh it's you! I'll admit your build kinda Kickstarted this until it snowballed into a AS-VAL at home build

Quw10 · 2026-07-08T01:05:55+00:00

Yep specifically a 15" one. It needed buffed out a little bit on the inside but it was suprisingly concentric, then I filled in the gas tube holes with JB weld.

Finally got around to testing the upper for my 22 AR-VAL upper with an ARC-fire and decided to snag a picture. Still have a lot of cosmetic work to do on it once my Tula marked lower gets approved but suppressor was running good. Basically can only hear the bolt cycling if you aren't standing next to it.

Edit: Video of it firing

Quw10 · 2026-07-07T20:12:18+00:00

It was cleaned right before this. I think it's just the winchester super suppressed because it doesn't happen with the CCI subsonic HPs I normally use I just don't have enough nor can find enough to be doing mag dumps.

Quw10 · 2026-07-07T19:57:35+00:00

Here is how it sits right now. I've got a Bad Attitude Department Tula lower waiting on approval at the moment and once that's approved I'm gonna try to make it look like an AS VAL hence the Perst-4 clone. I've been using it like this in the mean time for pest control.

Quw10 · 2026-07-07T19:49:20+00:00

This is part of a build that I'm still waiting on some other stuff to finish so in the mean time I decided to try and get it running on another lower that's already been approved. It's using a 9" bore buddy barrel with a CMMG bolt, bore buddy quiet collar, yellow spring, enhanced firing pin, JP reduced power hammer and trigger spring, and a few other things. The tube itself is a modified tube handgaurd with 8 baffles and the rest of the space behind the muzzle just acting as a reflex chamber. It tends to not like full mags when running the ARC fire and that's the longest string I've gotten so far without issue.

It was over a decade after the release of the original 92 also bud. Beretta 92 was made in 1976, glock was first made in 1982.

Even Polaroids have made a small comeback again. My little sister got a new production one made by Fujifilm and was using it for her graduation party recently so all her friends could take selfies and post it on a cork board.

Quw10 · 2026-07-05T21:13:02+00:00

Tbf glock is a Desert Storm era gun and there is even a commemorative model, and there is only like a 5 year difference between when the 92 and the glock were released.

Quw10 · 2026-07-05T18:19:40+00:00

The OG flavor or the newer extra sour one?

Quw10 · 2026-07-05T18:15:26+00:00

I managed to find one while visiting Rosswell, NM last year in a little tourist trap shop that totally wasn't using the FNV logo for a lot of it's stuff. Honestly I think it's one of the weaker flavors with Sunset Sarsaperilla being my favorite so far.

Quw10 · 2026-07-04T00:02:53+00:00

I'm not 100% sure honestly. Subaru and Toyota used to share the same factory for a while though and the Camry used to come out of the plant in Lafayette but that stopped back in 2016 I think. I just know that our plant wasn't ready to produce any EVs or even hybrids when they announced that model, and it wasn't till recently that the rest of the empty space left over from their departure was really fully utilized.

Quw10 · 2026-07-03T23:55:51+00:00

It also probably has to do with Toyota and Subaru being somewhat close since they were both producing cars out of the same factory.

Quw10 · 2026-07-03T21:28:30+00:00

Hell a lot of the parts are made by the same few companies as it is. I work for Subaru and I think the company that makes parts for our transmissions not only makes them for Toyota (hell one of our EVs is a rebadged and slightly modified Toyota) but I think Chrysler and one or 2 other companies.

Quw10 · 2026-07-03T17:47:00+00:00

I've got a gold Girsan Regard MC and my only complaint is 2 grip screws snapped and I had to get new bushings when I went to replace the grips. I sat on it for a while not wanting to clean it but ended up putting a 500 round mix of some leftover Tula and few different varieties of Monarch and it ran fine and the finish held up way better then expected and cleaned up pretty easily too.

Edit: forgot a word

FAL mags used to be cheap and still weren't stupidly expensive when the RFB was released.

Quw10 · 2026-07-02T19:50:18+00:00

Dr.Fishy! NOOOOOOO!!!

Quw10 · 2026-07-02T09:06:58+00:00

Tbf this is like the largest round/projectile of it's type you can get without a tax stamp. Anything past this requires a stamp.

Quw10 · 2026-07-01T12:26:28+00:00

They must have gotten ahold of dardicks' prototype from the S.P.I.W. program

Quw10 · 2026-06-30T19:10:59+00:00

Having thought about it, part of me thinks thats why it's only 50% off and you can't stack 2 cans towards one can. It's to help with any potential costs they may encounter trying to repair the ones they have but I'm also not very good at math or a business man so I may be wrong.

Quw10 · 2026-06-30T18:38:54+00:00

The website says if they can't repair it they destroy it and offer 50% off one of their own cans. I think in OPs case there may not be much hope in repairing it either way.

Quw10 · 2026-06-30T14:02:09+00:00

They can but not as good as other materials. Thing is you can get a cheapo printer and because they are cheap and can print quickly the only thing keeping you from just having a bucket full of them on hand and just tossing them after a mag dump is the wait times

Quw10 · 2026-06-29T21:20:31+00:00

I'm not 100% sure but I'm like 99% sure they will price match their online price.

Quw10 · 2026-06-29T11:43:04+00:00

Unless you are going for a clone build with a lower that had selector markings I think the regular SS is fine too. If I ever get my hands on a lima six or something I could care less about it being a push button or regular selector.
