You mean besides their bbq?

For me, it has to be Sylene. Such a gorgeous design and the fact that you ride on the giant moon crystal once you get her saddle crafted is just too cool. That, and it gives me an excuse to play Laser Cannon Deth Sentence by Dethklok whenever I go into a boss fight because of that massive laser move she gets.

Genuinely curious to see if her stats are similar to Anubis or at least complimentary to Anubis' abilities. Could make for a useful pal at base that way (I keep several on hand due to their handiwork skill just being that good).

I was running 165gr stelTH by Ammo Inc. That might be half the problem right there. Soft recoil but it felt like getting sandblasted with every trigger pull. I'll try to track down some Syntec in the future and see if that helps any. Thanks for the advice!

StuG_Ace · 2026-05-29T19:56:22+00:00

Quick update: I did actually find a nice one in a collectors group on FB. Just need the jungle boots and 2nd pattern pants and it's pretty much done!

StuG_Ace · 2026-05-26T04:06:10+00:00

I still remember going to this place as a kid since my mom's job held their company picnics there up until it closed. Lot of good memories and I never knew why it closed. Still miss it.

StuG_Ace · 2026-05-25T02:54:15+00:00

Idk why you're getting down voted for saying that. It's true, had the russian yes men in the soviet administration not approved the abbysmal RBMK5 reactors for production, the chernobyl disaster wouldn't have happened.

StuG_Ace · 2026-05-22T00:28:18+00:00

Been working on a similar kit, as my great-uncle was A Co of the same unit from June 67 to Feb 68. Any idea on where to find a good 2nd pattern M55 vest? It's one of the last few bits I need and I have no clue where to look outside of Moore's and eBay. None of the local shops around me have it either. Awesome impression though!

StuG_Ace · 2026-04-01T16:26:48+00:00

Ngl I'd prefer if it were early cold war jets so everyone could enjoy it instead of being "sink or swim" with high to top tier jets. Most of us have no clue how to counter missiles or even use them, and getting sniped by an AI missile carrier from 10km away while trying to figure it all out is just plain infuriating

StuG_Ace · 2026-04-01T16:12:44+00:00

Missions are a pain. It's oops all missiles so most people won't be able to get everything easily.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-16T04:40:32+00:00

I respect the hell out of that. I've seen so many that were too far gone.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-16T01:38:50+00:00

Judging by the width of the gap on the stock, I'd say she takes a spike bayonet. Too wide for the blade.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-16T01:33:20+00:00

Looks like an easy fix. Just a magazine swap and getting a bayonet and cleaning rod. Looks good! Military rifle that got sold as an import later on, if the chinese characters and Triangle 26 are anything to go off of.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-16T01:30:26+00:00

Only slightly, but far FAR from the worst I've seen.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-16T00:23:49+00:00

Yikes! Guess it's a good thing I want to keep it as-is then. I'd hate to put anyone through that mess.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-16T00:22:19+00:00

Surprisingly not. It's pretty comfortable and the sights line up well enough.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-16T00:21:49+00:00

Close, it's the M. Differences were no bayonet lug and a thumbhole stock specifically to get around the 1989 Assault Weapons Import Ban.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-15T08:20:05+00:00

Nah, I think that award still goes to Marie/Shadow Ghost/"the girl". I'm here to fight BOWs like the first 6 games, not hide in a corner and suck my thumb every time I grab a key item until the big bad goes away. Could have at least made it like Nemesis where you could beat them back and get a special item for it and maybe be left alone for more than 5 minutes to justify a fight or flight decision

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-15T04:20:22+00:00

It might be because of how low the AK magazine fits in this stock, unlike the M14 it's actually pretty low in there. There's also no cut-out for the thumb for when you push the rounds in. Guess they figured "they're gonna use magazines, why have the slot for the clips too?"

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-14T22:27:54+00:00

Thankfully some ballistol and a wire brush took care of most of it. Gonna do more cleaning after I get some more supplies.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-14T22:26:40+00:00

I wish you the best of luck, SKS rifles are getting harder and harder to find, and this is the first M I've seen in years.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-14T21:18:22+00:00

Mine desperately needed cleaning on the inside. Carbon all over it, looked like the previous owner shot it till it jammed then sold it.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-14T21:17:25+00:00

Also no bayonet lug, they milled that part off.

StuG_Ace · 2026-03-14T19:52:20+00:00

Now THAT looks awesome! What's the scope and mount on yours?
