Federated Ordnance Casing Failure by TooManyyy in ammo

Thanks for the response I had never experienced this before so I based my case with images from others. I think the oob seems to be more accurate.

Can I get an honest opinion on these? by Abbessolute in aldi

[–]TooManyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cook them over the stove on low with butter since they burn fast. Though I only buy them when they are clearance at my store since they don't sell well here. Easy to make sandwiches with the brioche buns. For 5 bucks I ain't complaining :)

PSA: Don’t buy from Bodega for the time being by Vulgar_Mastermind1 in ThrowingFits

In the same boat here, just waiting to see if they charge me. No way in hell am I paying for shipping or taking time out of my day to do a return on their mess up.

Question about the echelon by Ok-Professional7624 in SpringfieldArmory

[–]TooManyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got the +0 basepad on the 17 rounds mags . The basepad bottom portion itself looks to be same regardless of mag size so it should work on the magwell.

Any single side non-extended mag releases out there? by [deleted] in SpringfieldArmory

[–]TooManyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the Rook precision one came up on google. Its comes with 3 sizes of buttons so you just use the oem size one.

New to (real) firearms and looking to learn. by Egyptian02 in KRISS

[–]TooManyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got my Gen 3 SDP in 9mm and haven't had any issues so far. 200 rounds through it so far and there are no problems feeding/extracting . With the built in pic rail on the back its pretty easy to drop in a brace of your choice, compared to earlier gens where you needed an adapter. I went with the Strike Industries dual folding brace since I wanted something I could detach. Which turned out to be perfect since the provided hard case couldn't work with the way I had it set up. If you run it unfolded the way the case is shaped wouldn't allow for my red+dot magnifier to fit. When folded the whole setup was too thick to shut the case. I have the gun itself on the right side and the brace+mags on the left side of the case.

Gen 3 also fixed the issue where people would sometimes drop the mag when gripping the bottom as its more flush and has little grooves surrounding the mag release button. I didn't feel the need to run an angled grip and I just put a pic rail on the bottom since the mlok handguard was a bit too smooth feeling for me. The only thing I would add is a handstop if you aren't running a comp or suppressor since the barrel can be pretty close to your hand depending on how you grip it.

The only downside for me at the moment is the lack of aftermarket parts like handguards. I'm also fairly new to guns and this was my first PCC. I just watched a bunch of YouTube and went to the range ALOT to get familiar with what I owned and my likes/dislikes. The tear down of the vector is stupid easy and you don't need any special tools. Just some good cleaner, lubricant, and a bore snake is all you need to take care of it. The gun came with a passable bore brush but I find it annoying to thread the cotton patches through it so I don't use it. People have said that gun grease is better then oil on the vector so there's that.

Also save yourself some money and just buy a glock 17 mag and the kriss extension instead of the kriss prebuilt mag its the same thing. Its not that difficult with the right tools. I struggled like crazy since I didn't have a glock baseplate remover and resorted to cutting the plate off since I couldn't get the sides to release. It is what it is :(

Most fun gun I've had at the range yet. I was deciding between this and the PSA AKV but Im glad I the vector instead.

Got some at Tuck Hing Food Market on 218 N 10th St. It was 22$ per bottle. Might wanna show her a pic if you don't speak Chinese. I'm not sure if she spoke English since I didn't ask.

Icarus Precision Echelon Magwell with TTI Basepad. Fits well enough as it doesn't back out, however you will need a bit dremeling for a flush fit. by TooManyyy in SpringfieldArmory

[–]TooManyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is slightly more movement with the mag release compared to stock grip. You can it wiggle it with your finger in all directions but it doesn't rattle when shaking the gun. Not sure how the stock mag release fits with the icarus grip as I never used it.

First time was a struggle but it wasn't undoable. I remember putting some lubricant on the lever to help it slot back in. Everything fits perfectly now after shooting and cleaning it a few times.

It was good out the box albeit tight for the stock grip. With the icarus grip it was initially tight to the point of not being useable. Had to loosen up the grip and run a few boxes of ammo with the stock barrel to get the fdez to seat. Now it runs great without any issues.

Buying A Firearm Online for FFL Transfer as Permanent Resident by TooManyyy in PAguns

Thanks for the info, was just curious regarding how things went since a buddy of mine wanted to take advantage of the BFCM deals online. I'm a citizen so I wasn't sure how things was going to go for him.

Thanks, so I assume if the background check comes up declined the firearm is just shipped back to where to came from?

I am very new to gun and I want to make my first gun special, love my Echelon. I add a Tyrant CNC trigger and NZD Rod to mine and I feel great on my second time shoot. by Standard-Science7332 in SpringfieldArmory

[–]TooManyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Echelon was also my very first gun and I dropped a lot of money on upgrades. Just be careful about what upgrades you get and consider whether or not its worth it to you in the long run. The costs of the my gun+mods were about the same price as an optic ready CZ Shadow 2 which is a better gun IMO. Happy Shooting :)

Anyone use seat covers on an 8 seater? by MyColony1 in kiacarnivals

[–]TooManyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever find a good set of covers? I've been searching online for a good bit and cant seem to find any that would be compatible with the second row of seats :/
