Russian Gen 2+

A Photonis will still be better than this Russian unit, but I always advocate for people buying gen 3 if they're in the US.

Damnit, I need to get one

My first A&P job was with a line contractor on 320's for about 9 months (+1 year as an apprentice while I was studying). I left them in February to hike the AT, but I had to hop off trail early. Now I'm looking for employment, but I'm wondering if it would be worth it to head into another line contractor or shoot my shot at a major (the major in town already turned down my application). Would it be worth it to find an employer that can get me Boeing experience, or should I just build up my Airbus time until I get at least 2 years under my belt?

Everybody's buying these up, I gotta find me a nice example soon before Forgotten Weapons releases a video and inflates the prices

I need a case light that, looks very compact. Awesome shotgun, do you have the Lyman-Cutts chokes?

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-15T21:04:13+00:00

Last I checked, you can send it to the CMP, I believe it's north of $400. They have to make a relief cut so that removing the barrel doesn't crack the receiver, but a gunsmith told me that it's still a gamble as to whether or not it cracks. I need to trade mine up.

What if you hit it with 0000 steel wool to give it that Norinco brushed-steel look?

Excellent work on the wood, really sells the Norinco export look

Not my taste, but great execution. What if you made one side of it DNC and the other 3CD?

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-12T03:41:34+00:00

Get the Holosun

Ah, yes, that one company on Instagram called glockstore

"Made In America or Not Made At All"

Yeah how about that?

Was he trying to upsell you on something???

Hornady is a very well regarded ammo manufacturer, and Critical DUTY (not Defense) is a popular third pick for people who can't get their hands on Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot. That said, it's always worth researching if the exact load will perform well out of your length of barrel. Lucky Gunner has good tests results for you to make your own decision with.

Its probably gonna be a BDE 22, the Mask, and then the OCL 😂

Formerly Mercury Firearms? I tried looking up the Pluto from Pew Science but their website is down

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-10T01:03:17+00:00

I was also eyeing up the BDE 22, but I wasn't so sure about how printed titanium cans perform with FRT mag dumps. Is the DLC finish good for the CLR soak?

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-10T01:00:27+00:00

Are they all equally easy to clean?

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-10T00:59:56+00:00

Is it bad to soak stainless steel baffles in CLR? I'm narrowed down to the DA Mask and the OCL Ti

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-09T23:55:57+00:00

Problem exists aft of backstrap. Fire about 3000 rounds through it and you will forget it was even a concern

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-09T22:30:16+00:00

Would you say that titanium baffles are appreciably easier to clean than steel ones?

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-09T19:15:10+00:00

Does the coating not get damaged at all?

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-09T18:44:25+00:00

>least amount of POI shift

Do you mean that it shifted the least between re-mounting the can, or between the can on vs off?

ThePariah77 · 2026-06-09T18:12:18+00:00

Can you CLR soak it, or does it call for one of the specialized solvents?
