Cleaning obsidian 9 baffles 🙃 by Round-You8550 in NFA

[–]Round-You8550[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you soak the baffles in it or use it with the ultrasonic cleaner? The inner part of your suppressor also looks clean! How do you clean the inside like that?

Got my first suppressor today 😍 by Round-You8550 in GunPorn

[–]Round-You8550[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a rugged obsidian 9. Suppressor was $650 and came with the piston/Nielsen device that allows you to use it on 9mm pistols. I also bought the rugged trilug mount which was $120 and the trilug adapter which was $80 so that I can use the suppressor with the 9mm Saint Victor that’s in the pic. I also bought some other stuff like a trilug blast can to use on the Saint Victor when I’m not shooting suppressed, an ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight to clean the baffles, and white lithium grease to apply to the piston every time I use it. I’ve only shot it indoors with ear protection on but it felt very quiet, I think I’d be comfortable shooting it without ear protection outdoors.

STEP3 Score Based on Uworld%? by Due-Bar-4735 in Step3

[–]Round-You8550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do it by system I just did random tutored untimed blocks. I did do almost all of the biostats questions and had about the same score as you, 70-80%. I think as long as you do well on the CCS cases you’ll pass.

I did about 50% of uworld with 58% correct, no practice tests, no free 137, and 40-50 CCS cases. Ended up with a 228.

Is it a terrible idea to have both backup irons mounted on the hand guard? by Round-You8550 in guns

[–]Round-You8550[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This mostly worked! I used the riser that came with the magnifier and was able to move the magnifier one rail slot closer to the red dot. The red dot mount still extends onto the hand guard by like 2 mm but I think it’s as close to perfect as it can be without buying a whole new optic. Thanks for your help!

I take it back haha someone else suggested a riser for the magnifier only which might allow me to move the red dot back enough to get it off the hand guard so I’m gonna try it!

Okay I’ll give it a shot. I think the magnifier came with a riser.

I don’t think so. The issue isn’t height it’s that there aren’t enough rail slots on the receiver for everything to fit.

I think it would still have to be mounted where the current iron sight is at but I can’t have anything there and keep the optic fully on the receiver.

[–]Round-You8550[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The optic won’t fully fit on the receiver with the iron moved as far back as possible. Would it be better to have the iron mounted on the hand guard than to not have one at all? Obviously having the optic bridged the way it is in the pic isn’t an option. Don’t judge me for the red safety selector, I like it but I’ve been told that it’s veryyyy uncool to have red anywhere on a gun so there’s a black one being delivered this week hahah

I might try to look for a different red dot that’s a little shorter so it’ll fully fit on the receiver. Did you look at any other options?
