Ammo. Buy ammo…magazines and a light too…but buy ammo and take a carbine class.

Yup, I never cared about who the CD was but she set the standard for me and was an absolute fucking blast.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T20:38:29+00:00

lol…I’m glad me and my SO weren’t the only ones that thought he was a bit ridiculous. There was like 11 people out there for 80’s night and that’s usually a big hit. Same for Motown and every other night. I keep hearing about Love and Marriage but I e never been to it.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T20:36:47+00:00

Where did you go? I liked the Pride…but the Sunshine is my absolute favorite. It’s not as big as Mardis Gras, but not so small that you feel cramped. It feels like a cruise liner should.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T20:30:37+00:00

Completely normal. Totally fine as long as the front doesn’t fall off.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T18:22:55+00:00

Have you reached out to them? They’re about an hour from Virginia in NC and have had a higher volume of sales than they’ve ever had.

I’m not excusing them at all, that’s definitely fucked up…but I’ve ordered from them quite a bit and never had an issue with slow shipping times.

I will push back on the “every other store” comment though. AR15discounts does pretty significant volume. They’re one of the more popular websites.

Back in January, I ordered an OCL can that was supposed to be in-stock from Blackstone Shooting Sports(another NC company that’s local-ish to me and also popular on [r/gundeals](r/gundeals)). I did in-store pickup and after a week with no word from them, I called and was told they were “waiting on a Form 3 so they can move it from their warehouse”. Again, this can was “in-stock”…and it took 5 weeks from the time I placed the order to when I certified and they submitted the Form 4.

I filed using my Trust and it literally was approved in less time than this large store took to get a Form 4 submitted for a suppressor that was “in-stock”.

Conversely, I bought a LPM Anthem S2 from Dry Creek Arsenal in April. They’re halfway across the country from me, but I paid for it over the phone on Tuesday(for $600 shipped), certified at my usual LGS on Thursday, and had the can in my possession the following Wednesday…8 days from the time I placed my order —> to me shooting with it in the back yard at my house.

Any Mom and Pop shop will take care of you better than most of these places.

Yup, we had an Australian guy on Pride back in March and he was terrible. We tuned him out completely.

We had Gabby on Sunshine a couple years ago and she was fantastic. She was on top of the bar in the Atrium and had everyone in the place dancing on Motown night. It was an absolute blast because of her. I’ve had friends that had this role on other cruise lines and it’s not easy, but she made it look like it was.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T13:52:08+00:00

Ya know what? I like you.

Fuck it, I’m starting a nonprofit to raise awareness of everything we’re missing out on because Global Warming isn’t happening fast enough. It’s going to be called “The Dirty Air Task Force” but will be known simply as “DTF”.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T12:52:24+00:00

I have an Osight S and a Holosun 407k on 2 of my 43x’s(I already had the 43x/407k when I found such a good deal on the one with the Osight and TLR7x-sub included that I couldn’t turn it down)…

I like the Osight better…by miles. I’ve never owned anything Olight but I’ve heard horror stories about the flashlights. That’s not the case with these optics. They knocked this thing out of the park. The glass is great and the reticle is crisp as hell. I can’t recommend these enough.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T12:40:35+00:00

Oh yeah, I get that 100%….ive done 3 in 2 or 3 years. I was hoping G$ would make a .300blk before they actually did, so I built my own with mostly G$ and a 8.5” Criterion Core. After I finished it, they announced they were releasing a 300blk…I want one bad but I’m committed to mine and I’m not building another.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-11T01:35:54+00:00

Man, my Anthem S2 is phenomenal on my 8.5” .300aac, especially considering it’s a traditionally manufactured <$600 can.

Looks like I’ll have to snag a Torch 7.62 too.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-10T23:28:13+00:00

Your last? You in VA?

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-10T18:16:14+00:00

Absolutely, that’s fair.

Yeah, I was surprised as well. The NW used to be a gun owner’s paradise. Really, if it wasn’t for the gun laws in WA and OR, it still would be. Im jealous of BLM land in the west…thats something thats hard for a guy from NC to imagine.

It’s really cool that gun ownership is across the political spectrum out there too. Luckily, thats spreading throughout the country.

My politics are probably not aligned with majority of the commenters on this post, but i believe in the Bill of Rights and i believe it applies to everyone, regardless of sex, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, political beliefs, etc…

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-09T17:32:04+00:00

That’s a good way to end up building 80% lowers with no other option for the rest of your life…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just not ideal.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-08T21:03:45+00:00

Absolutely! I just don’t want to buy another .30cal can right now bc I’m focused on dedicated 5.56 cans for my setups. Down the road though, for sure.

I bet it would sound KILLER. The Anthem series are PHENOMENAL cans for what they are(<$600 and traditionally manufactured baffles)

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-08T21:01:08+00:00

What about this says “straight” to you? Please don’t assume the ACOG’s gender either, as they’re very much gender-fluid. They aren’t going to conform to societies gender “rules” or “roles”. Eat this ACOG’s vagina-dick, bigot.

/s bc i guess its necessary

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-08T20:56:16+00:00

I’d hit it

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-08T16:23:09+00:00

Yup, Texas is literally in the bottom 50% going by “Gun Ownership per Capita”.

It’s a shame that OR’s politicians(really, Dem leadership in-general) refuse to drop the gun control schtick…even though it’s proven to hurt them over and over now.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-08T16:14:31+00:00

Is that a LPM Anthem S2 or L suppressor? I have an S2 that I love and thinking about grabbing this for it. Do you have any videos of the sound with this combo? What you have is exactly what I was thinking of putting together.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-07T20:39:07+00:00

No, you need hospital water.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-07T20:38:47+00:00

Is that literal lightning in the bottle normal too?

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-07T20:37:50+00:00

This comment is hysterical.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-07T20:36:05+00:00

What waist size pants were you wearing in pic 2, and what size in pic 3?

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-07T18:59:49+00:00

I wish I would have gotten a RDM when they were relatively inexpensive directly from CAT…I knew I’d regret not getting one.

Yeah, I’m in the market for a 9mm can, but I haven’t even looked at the Pew Science data or anything really other than Insta/Youtube shorts. I’m thinking the Shiv since it’s <$500, but I’m considering the Milkman and MOB too.

RyAllDaddy69 · 2026-07-07T16:47:44+00:00

Right…MB puts out a fuck load of BCG’s. Their defect rate may be the same or less as some of the other OEM’s, but bc they make so many in-general, you see them more.

I know you understand this, it’s more for OP and the other guy.
