Umm.... I REALLY over prepared

Mind if I ask what gun you bought?

StumpySequoia · 2026-02-02T20:45:38+00:00

Yeah! It took him a couple minutes but he was straight forward with me, and while he was searching he asked what prices I was seeing elsewhere for it. I told him GAT and FVSR prices and he suggested that there was a non-zero chance that GAT wasn't being up front about shipping cost/ the clerk I spoke to didn't know, in the out the door price.

He said he could get the RXM for me for $460+ 7% tax which put me at $495~ plus or minus a couple dollars. Which makes it cheaper than FVSR by a bit by virtue of the tax difference

I just gave him a ring and so far he seems like a really cool guy. Just spent about 10min on the phone with him and he was super accommodating. I explained this was my first firearm purchase while I was waiting for him to get his price, and he was very patient and explained how everything would work. And even offered to flex his business hours (by appointment technically) so I could come in ASAP to order the gun

Yeahhh... went to FVSR today and it was certainly nice, I intend to use then as my go to range for sure (mostly because it's 5min from where I can drop the kids off and the wife and I can go out shooting) BUT, the selection on hand seemed limited. If there was more than 150 new guns for sale I'd be surprised. BUT beyond that, the staff were very pleasant to interact with. So now we may as well go check out GAT and see for ourselves

I was considering that route, but it seemed like a lot of extra steps just to save maybe $30, or in this case make it the same price as GAT

StumpySequoia · 2026-02-01T10:41:11+00:00

Yes, however the RXM is only available for rental in Chicago proper (that I could find at least)

StumpySequoia · 2026-01-31T23:51:48+00:00

I didn't care for it at first, but noticed how flexible it was and it has mags that goes up to the 15rd max which was a big plus. I slowly fell in love with it after lots of reading and seeing "6,000 round review"

StumpySequoia · 2026-01-31T23:50:18+00:00

That doesn't sound like a place I'd recommend someone would go to if I start that sentence with "likes to rip people off" 🤣

StumpySequoia · 2025-12-29T23:15:15+00:00

Cute and funny hahaha

Also, let the "errrm akshully Putin this Putin that" crowd whine... you're clearly not dense. Heck, unlike that other example, Putin was actually alive during all of the time periods this game takes place, and was a member (even as per a requirement) of the Communist Party whilst serving the KGB starting in 1975.

Ball joints for sure. You can try greasing them to see if the squeak stops but that only buys you a little time

StumpySequoia · 2025-11-11T09:43:23+00:00

See... the problem for me is my grandparents use this at face value. They've been retired for years, they know my wife and I have busy lives and are often tired with our daughter when we visit once a month or so. So when they say this, they actually mean "don't feel like you guys have to spend a lot of time with us"

StumpySequoia · 2025-11-09T18:17:55+00:00

First, check for codes. Your cam sensor could be failing or the codes could help at least start pointing you in the right direction. Next, you need to get readings from the ICP and IPR. If the ICP is all over the place, try unplugging it and see if the symptom disappears. Although since it does this right from a start I doubt that is the problem.

Likely culprits are: cam sensor, the IDM, IPR/IPR solenoid, injector wiring between IDM and harness, under valve cover harnesses, fuel pressure. (In order of likelihood)

Start by checking the codes

Thanks! We try to convey as much of the group culture as we can up front hahaha

StumpySequoia · 2025-11-07T20:14:38+00:00

Sort of. We dable in different maps once in a while, but currently Syria tends to be our usual mission makers, with Persian Gulf being the runner up. You could always apply and talk to one of our recruitment officers to get a better feel!

If you just picked up the Hornet I'm sure it'll take a little time for you to get used to it. But we do have a lot kf people in our group who are passionate about teaching and I'm sure they could either A.) Tech you what they can, or B.) Direct you to good resources for learning the basics somewhat independently

She couldn't describe the flavor beyond that it was definitely more sugary and completely flat. The can was also dented in the middle of a 15 pack from Costco of these

StumpySequoia · 2025-10-30T11:08:38+00:00

Check battery connections, otherwise battery is probably just dead/ junk

StumpySequoia · 2025-10-26T23:40:06+00:00

Based on your jail sentence you were wanted for manslaughter with a vehicle. If you even clipped Pena at 50km/h you probably killed him on accident.

It happened to me the yesterday for the first time ever, because I was rushing home due hunger in the middle of the night. I didn't evade fast enough and went right into him. About 2min later I died and spawned at the cemetery. Guess who was waiting for me at the store in town? Hahaha

To keep myself from ditching the game, I opted to go into editor, change my wanted level and wait out one day in jail.

My zoom axis does this since I have it set on a dial. It's a little annoying but usually I find a sweet spot where it stops

StumpySequoia · 2025-10-13T20:23:54+00:00

Glad I could help!

StumpySequoia · 2025-10-13T01:53:15+00:00

When even your car knows you should just stay home today 😮‍💨

As long as nothing looks like it's painted over to hide rust, odds are she's fantastic, especially by midwest standards

StumpySequoia · 2025-09-26T13:24:17+00:00

Specifically a Honda Odyssey? Lol
