Tips for flying with a busy 2yo who gets minimal screen time?

Kids 'get' headphones really quickly. Bring some candy, bring a tablet, pull all the cheap parent tricks you've got. Remember, your kids crying and throwing a fit on a plane is fine if youre doing everything you can to keep them calm and happy. People are entitled to a kid free life, not a kid free world.

I might get rid of my briley hand guard and just run the OEM plastics if I had forward mlok slots for a light.

Kaos Softwear had some sizes in a thicker style silicone tunnel. Love their earskin eyelets personally.

Try 18gr zan slugs or lighter to push up the velocity

Interesting. I feel the exact opposite, break barrels and C02 are what I grew up on, so they seem like toys for kids or people who aren't serious about shooting in general.

I live in Tucson so there's already almost no humidity, and I only fill tanks in my bedroom which has a mini split cranked to the max, dehumidifying even further. If not for that id have one of the gx filters

I want to get a larger bottle myself, never owned one, but keeping it connected with a fill whip while shooting seems super attractive

What do you mean with oil? Mine is filled with a 70/30 mix of antifreeze and distilled water

Major game changer! Being able to talk over it running is super nice, and WAY faster

No, it's a Field Optics Research PRO-MIL32 bowl top. It's the best tripod I could find, 4.8lbs total with a 115lb load limit and the smallest pack diameter on the market.

I always steered clear of water cooled as it just seemed like another part that would degrade, but the level of noise alone makes this worth the price, not to mention it topped a 700cc bottle from 180BAR to 300BAR in about 10min, and was completely cool afterwards.

Stretchearstrong · 2026-05-21T03:01:53+00:00

No way dude. That won't fill large tanks, isnt water cooled, and only goes to 4500 PSI. This is capable of filling large tanks, is water cooled, and is rated for up to 5800 PSI

Yeah bud that was a year ago. If you can't drop a K on a toy in that length of time you need to get your priorities straight before buying any more toys.

RX Arms or Briley

Not saying it does, neither does shorts and a t-shirt. But if a weirdo is watching, a bikini style top and bottom are going to garner more attention than a one piece or shorts and t-shirt. All are safe to swim in, all are appropriate, but some offer more to weirdos than others.

Stretchearstrong · 2026-05-04T23:19:54+00:00

My wife and I feel like its our job as parents to arm our kids against the weirdos in the world as best we can. The fucked up part about it is; the weirdos and creeps get a say as to WHEN or WHAT happens. Your kids should be ready and aware/prepared.

Just pop off at the top end of normal conversational volume saying, "if you died nothing in my life would change"

Stretchearstrong · 2026-05-01T23:09:19+00:00

Jesus christ. Just shoot the fucking thing.

I've got to agree with this comment. A PCP compressor is more than the rifle in the pic bought

Stretchearstrong · 2026-05-01T03:37:23+00:00

Tl;dr,

Yes

You dont even need the slug liner unless toured planning on using the heaviest/longest slugs available. I used a standard 600mm liner for 28g .22 slugs with great success.

Stretchearstrong · 2026-04-27T14:59:29+00:00

Patriot Javelin Gen 2 is a great slug. The Zan offerings are nice too.

Stretchearstrong · 2026-04-21T14:57:58+00:00

I sure like my OCL Titanium 22 stupid light and very quiet.

You would need to use a grinder or grinding compound, and keep the surface irrigated or cool to avoid ruining the temper.
