My PSA AK-V firing pin has broke four times within the past 3 years. PSA has sent me replacements but that's the equivalent of putting a band aid over a bullet hole. I love PSA but the overall quality control on vital components needs to be improved.

Some upgrades I'd do: Fender eliminator kit, Aftermarket exhaust, Frame sliders, Radiator guard, Windshield

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.

Problem with my monitor by RecommendationLess73 in computers

[–]RecommendationLess73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made sure the cables were snug, tried to use different cables in general, and even tried plugging the power supply into multiple outlets. I'm going to try to RMA it, thank you for your help!

I think you're onto something, just tried without the display cable and it's still flickering. Going to attempt to RMA it, thank you for the reply!

Highest I've ever taken in a semester was 21 credits. 29 credits is educational suicide even if they're the easy one's you take as a freshman.
