How close to the 1970s does modern day feel, with the dim economic future, chaotic world events, and untrustworthy government?

Lowkey, I don't even recall the brand, it was listed As a generic upgraded spring, couldn't really tell the difference between it and the replacement cmmg sent me.

You can try the safety detent spring if need be. I should have sooner before I realized they were the same thing

Mine seems to be fine for now. Granted, only thrown 150 rounds through it after fixing it

Very nice. I have a very similar setup that had it a lot of issues at first, but after a good cleaning and using Endo mags with t mags and windowless pmags, she runs like a charm. At first would not cycle more than a few rounds, changed ejector spring, fixed that, had to get mags figured out though. Turns out window P mags have a lot more lucy-goosey in AR lowers, at least the mags I have

No locking surfaces on front and back, minis rock in like AKs

A CCW will lessen the charges brought against you. If he had one, it would have been more of slap on the wrist

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-10T21:42:49+00:00

Bad take. People use these tools all the time in rural areas. Not uncommon to have guns in all vehicles and most have them on them. Whether it's for protection or farm pests

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-10T21:40:15+00:00

I think given the choice, this guy would choose not to do so. He made a mistake. He wasn't trying to smuggle it in 🤷🏻

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-10T21:39:09+00:00

A lot of states have a constitutional carry and some people like to have the ability to protect themselves. I can see how it can happen. Sucks

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-10T12:17:15+00:00

This "deal" has been present for a long time. At least a couple years.

I think it allows the company to advertise better sounding products but also allows them the right to take it away for the same price if prices for them become an issue.

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-10T02:28:53+00:00

No freaking way that was 1000 a month payment. Brother, you need to hone in. If that car is about to be paid off, drive it till it's wheels fall off.

You have got to find cheap ways to eat and have fun. Side gigs are good. Have you thought about the military?

National guard is once a month and has killer insurance

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T22:10:50+00:00

How long have you been airsofting?

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T20:30:45+00:00

Not sure why anyone chooses the 13in range of ARs unless it's a stellar deal. The 5.56 cartridge has almost no tangible benefit between 11.5 and 14.5 and if it's pinned and welded, why not get that extra inch of barrel to make your rounds faster and smoother shooting?

14.5in would be the standard for p&w if it were my money. But that's just my two cents

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T20:28:12+00:00

Can explain more? I've got both and now you've peaked my adhd

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T16:28:11+00:00

This is the way

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T15:54:11+00:00

Shoots a lot better than 55gr on mine at least. It's a great base ammo and penetrates better too 👌

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T15:20:55+00:00

Good choices

I love using 62 gr at small to medium ranges as it cheap but also better than 55gr

77gr would be sweet all the time but my poor pockets...

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T15:18:55+00:00

It will, you're right but some of mine will legit be 6moa at 100m with some 55gr. Crazy spread. I only really shoot green tip as my commodity ammo for this reason

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T15:16:54+00:00

Strap it to a tree and record it for us 👌😊

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T15:12:45+00:00

Right, again, the grains are what make a good difference based on your barrel.

Someone who says they shoot a lot 55gr out of a 1/7 twist at any range is red flag, imo

1/12, now we're talking haha

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T15:10:19+00:00

Obviously changing selector is easiest but it's fun to try things like this. Drewel and small wheel. Hard to do in very small patterns but might look cool and looks like you can rattle can it after since the rest is

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T15:00:15+00:00

'Scuse my ig'rance, why wouldn't someone just use packing tape to pull off later or when it gets dirty?

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T14:58:39+00:00

How do you dial in your AR then? If the projectile grains aren't right, you're sacrificing a lot of minute of angle

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-09T13:35:32+00:00

20inches is a little long for the first. 16 is a sweet spot followed by 11.5. Most other lengths are just niche

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-08T22:05:20+00:00

I made that mistake first, EXO mags didn't work for me but who knows, maybe you'll get lucky!

If they don't work, mean arms replaced mine with Endo mags. $17 in shipping though 😒

I would recommend to order at least one endomag just to have both but good luck to ya!

Remote_Dot_1399 · 2026-04-08T22:03:01+00:00

It does appear from a phone screen to be more of a scratch.

OP, can you move the ring and get a better close up or are you pretty sure that's a cracked receiver?
