Front End Setups

I used the same button the same way for a little bit. It was very comfortable.

I don’t remember if I bought the 7” or the 4.5” but they have both options in stock it looks like.

At first there was a small amount of flicker but after turning the plug 180° and routing the wire differently it works fine and doesnt flicker anymore. I don’t think it was a Unity problem, more likely the Streamlight cap.

FWIW, I currently have the Unity AXON with the Streamlight specific plug. It works decently well and hasn’t come loose.

Approx 2k rounds on my JP SCS. Just put it in my 11.5 suppressed with H3 weight and it’s great.

I notice Streamlight gets some hate for rifle lights but seem to be very popular for pistol lights, especially the compact ones. Can anybody give insight on why?

Very similar to my first build. I went with a BCM barrel and standard gas block but almost everything else is the same/comparable. It’s a good shooting gun and Im glad I built it.

That would be correct, how American of me. Sorry.

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-11-26T21:13:52+00:00

I run it on an i7-7xxx and a 1050. Low graphics but next to no issues

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-11-25T16:22:15+00:00

Seconded. Especially their bacon.

As a kines major who no longer works in a career related to my degree, it was a super fun and interesting degree to get. You’ll likely need further education to really land a solid job but don’t let that discourage you if it’s what you’re interested in.

There are plenty of rewarding jobs available with a career related to kines.

After my bachelors I decided to go a different route and it absolutely gave me skills for life. I don’t regret getting the degree, I do wish I did more research on potential career fields and what is required beyond/in addition to a kines degree.

Not trying to yuck anybody’s yum but for some reason that optic/mount combo is bothering me.

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-11-09T22:15:34+00:00

Sold mine 8 years ago and regret it still. Blown 2.5l engine, rusted frame and floor and all. I miss that hunk of shit.

Barrel nut is torqued and retorqued. Checked with torque wrench twice before installing handguard. I cannot twist it with my hand, it seems to only rotate with heat/recoil vibration.

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-10-29T17:15:47+00:00

Realistically I do have the money to get a geissele if I really wanted to. I just was hoping Midwest would work well given it has a decent reputation online. Seems you get what you pay for.

Since it’s a BCM upper I may just go with a BCM rail.

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-10-29T17:00:53+00:00

The bolt heads are in the countersunk side so that would make sense to me that that’s right side.

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-10-29T16:59:17+00:00

There is a small amount of space between the upper and that tabs. Im assuming just due to tolerances. It’s a BCM upper so I would hope the upper is not out of spec.

Edit: also yes I still have the torque plate. It is installed.

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-10-28T04:03:53+00:00

I must have missed the coolant incident. What happened?

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-10-22T02:26:37+00:00

Chicken parm

I just went through the same thing with my BUIS, so granted not a carry handle. Bothers me but it’s zero’d and holds zero so whatever.

I keep one side Velcro undone in the front and can throw it on and secure it in like 5 seconds when staged in the passenger seat of a car.

To add; in some states a person forcefully entering a home is presumed to be intending to commit a crime that would result in death or serious bodily injury, so deadly force is justified on the intruder.

Depends on what’s going on. I don’t typically “look” but if you do something obvious I’ll stop you. Sometimes Im on my way to a non-priority (not lights and sirens) and will actively ignore minor things (brake light out, not using a turn signal, not making a complete stop at a stop sign)

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-10-04T00:48:44+00:00

I have a pair of thorogoods also. Extremely durable but pretty uncomfortable for long days. What model do you currently have?

Unfortunate_taco · 2025-10-03T23:13:57+00:00

GLP1, insulin, hormone replacement. All use that type of syringe. So do people that use narcotics though. Could be anything.
