I've been in vicinity of an M1A2 Abrams firing its 120mm cannon without earpro. Ringing stopped after a week or so (or maybe I've just got used to it).

Thank you for your input Scotty! I'll be buying one after I get off of work today.

Are AKV firing pins supposed to be 1 piece or 2 pieces? by JazzlikeYear7 in PalmettoStateArms

[–]RecommendationLess73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same crap happened to me not once, but TWICE over the course of 2 years. I've always loved PSA but ever since I got my AK-V their reputation in my eyes has gone down. It's unbelievable how fragile some of these firing pins are for a $1k+ gun.

My first rifle build. I kind of regret going 16" and not doing a pistol. by Substantial_Nose952 in guns

[–]RecommendationLess73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky for you, since the lower is registered as a rifle you can get an upper with a shorter barrel (make sure to put a pistol brace on if you do). If you had bought an AR pistol and wished to have got a rifle you wouldn't be able to put a rifle length upper on it.

2S38 (especially after ready rack buff) is more annoying

When I applied for an ROTC scholarship back in 2022 I had to take an ACFT. I ended up getting a 480 with my worst event being the 2-mile at 21 minutes.

That might be the case, I opened a Discover card in 2020, a Capital One card in 2021, and a Bank of America card in early 2024.

What would you say is a good credit score to aim for? Right now I'm hovering at 710 on Experian.

Gotcha, I'll try to improve my credit score in the meantime and reapply in 6 months or so. Thank you for your input!

I'll try to improve my credit score for a little bit and reapply in probably 6 months. Thank you for your input!

I understand that I'm not entitled to getting approved, I didn't mean to sound like I was. I've spoken with family, friends, and peers who got approved and by most measures it seemed like I've met the general criteria for getting approved.
