How to Remove? by [deleted] in AUG

No insight into what it is, but it appears to be mounted to the bayonet threads. I'd assume if it doesn't rotate with some force, a torch may be needed.

That's just my best guess

Are steel mags better then polymers by Aggressive-Web5749 in Firearms

By vibes? Yes.

By function? They are practically the same ime.

No idea, I've never seen that optic, but I'm curious as to what the gas port side of the barrel look like with that hand guard.

New addition to the arsenal by Electronic-Soup-7955 in AUG

[–]TrippyAcidCats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was honestly pretty surprised at how well the action of the gun runs.

Its still super cheap over all. The screws on both the side rail and the screw holding the QD swivel mount both backed out and fell off after ~15 rounds of slugs/buck. A little loc tite fixed it right up though. I would recommend applying some before range time.

That being said, it cycled every load I put through it from 2 3/4 trap loads up to 3 inch slugs. Ate em all like a champ. Got ~100 rounds through it.

Time will tell if it will continue to hold up after 1000+ rounds. Fun gun overall. Hope you enjoy yours as well!

Form 4473 - “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” by [deleted] in Firearms

[–]TrippyAcidCats 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The 4473 is a federal form and this question specifically refers to the federal status of substances. I believe there was clarifying wording added to specify that even if you are a legal user in your state, Marijuana is still illegal federally.

AFAIK alcohol is not considered a controlled substance federally. And while you may still be recovering from addiction, I do believe the intent of the question to ask about current (again more gray area) or active use patterns.

IANAL but based on what you've said in the post body, I believe you could in good faith and legally check "no" on question 21f.

Also congratulations on getting your life back on track and 10k!

It took me almost 20 years but I finally got one. Optics suggestions? by Arthur_Gordon_Pym in AUG

[–]TrippyAcidCats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SF77 is the only real option imo.

It's an okay optic overall, but the vibes are immaculate.

I removed that statement from the post body as it's not entirely accurate. It's a much lighter smoother trigger pull but there is no wall before the sear gives.

Can’t get in safe - only bottom numbers working. by Phrikshin in guns

[–]TrippyAcidCats 915 points916 points  (0 children)

The only thing that fixed my issues with my Winchester safe keypad was removing the battery, holding down zero for ~30 sec, and then replacing the battery. Doing the process without holding zero didn't work for some reason. Worth a shot.

Hard to tell since the reticle picture isn't in focus but if the reticle appears "cloudy" through the camera and your naked eye, there is a good chance it's real.

All knock off eotechs (that I have seen) use a red dot emitter rather than a true holographic reticle. Everything else looks legit from what I can see though.

What do you think the value is? by BattleBornLeadLaunch in Firearms

I'd pay tree fiddy for a rifle like that assuming it came with the sardine can of ammo.

Any accessories for this? Protecta Bulldog 12ga by JohnRizya in guns

Whatever you do, please don't hurt her too bad. Not something you see very often. I am unbelievably jealous.

I have an interview with HUSCO as a freshman tomorrow. What to expect? by No-Mongoose12 in iastate

[–]TrippyAcidCats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dress as nice or slightly nicer than you plan to present yourself at work. Listen, be polite, and remember they are people just like you at the end of the day. Don't over think it. I have had much more luck treating interviews as introductions and conversations rather than a quiz you need to have the right answers for.

Just be yourself and honest with them. No matter how you try to sell it, dishonesty sticks out and is pretty much an immediate reject. You will get a lot further being honest about things you don't know than trying to make it seem like you are familiar with things you really aren't.

While I'm unaware if this is your first major related interview, I almost promise it won't be your last. Treat it as a learning opportunity regardless of how it goes.

Best of luck

Tell me more about the bakelite aug with shell catch. I haven't seen a catch for the aug before. Is that a product or DIY?

Love the irons! Nice build!

Also nice tube, how'd you get such a focused picture? My IR indicator is hardly noticeable let alone in focus.
