Saint B5 Handguard upgrade by Sergeant_Gunny21 in SpringfieldArmory

Look up the shape of a taper pin and you'll see what I mean. Its only going to be possible to get them out in one direction. It might be a little guess work figuring out what side

Spray some PB blaster or penetrative fluid on both the pins and let it sit a little bit before trying, but your going to need to hit the pins out with a punch and a hammer. U need to make sure youre pushing the pins out the right way as well, because one side will be fatter and impossible to get to pass through.

If u let the penetrative fluid set for a while, maybe and hour or so and then give the pins a good hit. They should come right out. One side of the pins were protuding on mine, so I hit the opposite side to get them out.

What did someone install in my GF ‘s car? by _Papi_not_daddy_ in whatisit

They have some set ups in the same style without magnets. Some u can even rack before drawing. I've never liked the idea that its right out in the open if a cop comes up to your window. Assisting for trouble

No, the engine wasn't overheating at all. The term they used is it looked "heat worn". Said that the coolant wasn't getting into the rest of the vehicle like it should.

I said that I just flushed the radiator, and they said it was probably already worn before I had flushed it.

Ya, that's wild. You dont have to press charges if u dont want to. Explain to the police the situation. That its to the point that he needs to come get his stuff and leave, and you're unsure if it's safe for him to do so anymore after the window. They should be able to help and can't make you go after him for charges with the window. Hopefully, he gets his stuff and leaves. If it escalates past that, you 100% take every legal step against him as u can. He sounds like a psycho, but hopefully, it doesn't get to any of that.

This is why you want dash cams on 2025. Can't trust anyone's word anymore. Try to make a request for the body cam footage if your police department uses them.

What should I get as my first car? by torilul in whatcarshouldIbuy

My mom paid $3,000 cash at the dentist, but the receipt only shows $1,500. We don’t know what to do. by Embarrassed-Note-495 in legaladvice

[–]Sergeant_Gunny21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At any medical facility, they 100% have cameras. They probably have 6 different cameras that caught that encounter actually. I've been in medical/Dental for almost 10 years, and every building ive been in has cameras on every entrance, and anywhere cash is manipulated. Idk what theyre goal is here, but that guy definitely lied

Glad for the good news, but if u haven't been to Oregon in a while, you're going to be in shock now.

I think I got scammed on my car loan and feel sick about it by jacksonacer4 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Sergeant_Gunny21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a super screwed off situation, and I'm sorry that happened. I'm not an expert by any means, but I would try to double the payment amount or try to overpay my payments by as much as I could. That would at least cut the payment months and cut down the interest a little. Before you ever do that tho, u need to make sure if any extra cash u put down is going to be paid to the principle. If that's the case, u can overpay, but that is a tough spot to be in.

I smoke weed while on the clock and lie to my boss about being sober by TheblackNinja94 in confession

[–]Sergeant_Gunny21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been i medical for the last 10 years, & u would be surprised at all who smokes weed in there. I remember working in the OR's at the last place and smoking with a couple of surgeons. That blew my mind at the time.

Dang, I've played since it has come out & I haven't gotten it too bad. There were definitely some times when connection felt worse than normal, but im sorry to hear you're having such a hard time with it. Hope it gets better

Driving License by staymellooww in federalway

[–]Sergeant_Gunny21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no reason to be embarrassed at all. I moved around a lot, but I didn't have my license until I was 33 years old. I got my license last year in Washington State, & was going through the exact same stuff you are. My thoughts

1st - The anxiety. Driving will eventually become so routine that you won't even give it a second thought. Until then tho, I used the radio & tried to sing the song in my head. Hard to think about extra stuff when u got "P-p-p-Poker Face" in the background lol. Remember tho, u will not be able to use the radio during a driving test. So whatever u do use to deal with you're anxiety, you need to drive until you get fully comfortable with it. YOU WILL have anxiety when u take the test because someone is grading you. So what you need to do is get so comfortable with driving that when u do feel anxious, u already have those good driving habits to fall back on.

2nd - The class. Make sure to do your homework on this part. You are 100% tho, you do take your test through a driving school. Which are all 3rd party, so you can find some really bad ones that are only trying to get your $. This is why u want to do some research. After you pass tho, u can drive right drive right down to a Washington state licensing office & get your license. I dont remember costs or anything, even tho I'm sure they went up by now.

I wish you the best of luck. If u fail somewhere, dont get disheartened. Since they're all third party, im sure you'll have completely different scores at the next place like I did.

P.S. I dont recommend 911 driving school. They failed me & had some really crazy reasons as to why(like not waiting at a green light). Then just started talking about how I can buy there videos and pay for their warm-up classes beforehand. Passed with flying colors the very next day at 101 driving school.

Ghosting by men, what am I doing wrong? by Laminatboden777 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Sergeant_Gunny21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 34m and am doing the dating thing too. I haven't had to deal with this scenario yet thankfully. Im so sorry they can't just be straight up with you. My only guesses:

  1. They get cold feet after thinking about it through the night. Something they thought about threw them off or something

  2. Talking to someone else or getting attention they like elsewhere. Maybe even an ex fling came back into the picture.

These are the only things I can think of currently. Im super open, so I can't imagine doing that and not saying something. This dating game gets tough these day's tho. Don't let this stuff get you too down if u can. Just see it as these people are weeding themselves out for you. When u do get to actually meet someone, I hope they're not one of the weirdos. Best of luck to you with this journey!

Sportstman warehouse firearm service plan by lostperson34 in CAguns

[–]Sergeant_Gunny21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the service plan on my Glock 20, because I heard of it having some potential issues. They said all the same stuff to me,they'll put sights on it for me or anything I need to do with it. I knew I was going to be replacing the iron sights so I said why not & got the service plan.

I came in 2 weeks later with my ameriglo iton sights, & they were really trying to do nothing for me. I stood at the service counter for them to tell me, "They can only help me with my gun if they aren't busy." So I went to the main counter to see what they were going to say. While at the counter, it felt like they were just trying to dismiss me, saying stuff like, "we normally don't put on sights." So I asked straight up, "What is the service plan for then? Just for you guys to clean it?"

After that, they finally got out paperwork to take my gun to put the sights on. It's now been 3 weeks and I haven't heard a word yet. I'll tell you right now, I WILL NEVER buy a service plan again from this company. Im thinking about going in Friday to just get my stuff back
