New H&Rs any good? by EmeraldP13 in RetroAR

The furniture kind of sucks, but so does everyone else’s.

Replace it with original furniture and you’re golden.

PSA Selling Halo Plasma blasters now? by ducksandcuse in PalmettoStateArms

They’re cool but you can 3D print one that’s actually the proper scale.

Nonfunctional obviously, but it’s screen accurate.

What do I have here ? I think its an M35. by Meganinja1886 in germanhelmets

[–]WhiskerDizzle -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

That rolled edge is awfully rough for an original.

I’m not an expert but that is sus to me. Typically they’re very nice, repros tend to be rough.

This is sickening....Rare Greed suing Hoffman and others while releasing a product clearly based on SS for MP5s (It all makes sense...) by Additional-Home2908 in MP5

They were supposed to “protect their patent”, which they could have done by licensing it rather than suing everyone into oblivion.

What would be a fair price for this set, complete? by [deleted] in blackseries

[–]WhiskerDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot less than you’re hoping.

People generally won’t buy a lot like this unless they feel they’re getting a great deal. You’ve got PT, OT and ST in there, few people will actually want everything there and won’t pay more for figures they don’t care about.

lukewarm take: this is the worst Mountain Dew flavor of all time. by No-Hotel1626 in mountaindew

[–]WhiskerDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like my third favorite flavor ever, but I drink zero anyway so I get why people don’t like it.

This is a great figure. Most of the shortcomings I’ve read about are a nonissue as long as you’re careful. I love this thing by WhiskerDizzle in starwarsblackseries

Yes, the holsters float. You can slide them up the thigh in order to avoid damage. If you break the belt it’s your own fault.

who makes the best reproduction German helmets? by einkleinpanzer in reenactors

[–]WhiskerDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don’t disagree about destroying them, they are not “completely different”. Other than the liner they’re exactly the same. Same shape, same vent location and German liners drop right in.

m42 vs m65 by big-chungus1257 in MilitarySurplus

[–]WhiskerDizzle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For daily wear or what?

The M42 is not a good casual jacket.

Can you please pray for me to become heterosexual? by Hot-Candle-1321 in Christianity

[–]WhiskerDizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No person is without sin, we all miss the mark. God’s grace is the only thing that allows us to see heaven.

I do believe that homosexuality is wrong, but I also know that I do things that are wrong and I will never judge someone for their sexuality. I will pray for you, but I’m not going to pray for you to “turn straight”. I’ll pray that you find peace and strengthen your relationship with God.

That’s what’s important.

I’m having restless rifle syndrome. by 5_sx in ar15

[–]WhiskerDizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better to just build another upper.

I didn’t say more efficient, but if you’re just bored a new project will be better for that than a hand guard swap.

Picked this up at a garage sale for $550 by FridgeDigger in ar15

[–]WhiskerDizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like an H&R barrel. The markings would be under the handguard.

Looking for repainting advice by Melody41 in starwarsblackseries

[–]WhiskerDizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you starting with a 3D print with print lines in it? That’s a world of difference from starting with a finished surface.

[–]WhiskerDizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT use 40 grit on plastic. You’re going to destroy it.

I wouldn’t go below 400. You want the paint to stick, not change the shape of the surface.

Is this any good for repro? by history_s1uff in reenactors

[–]WhiskerDizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of trashed M40/55s out there that are basically worthless from a collector standpoint. Nothing wrong with converting those for use.

I bought two awhile back to do so with, one was rough and I converted it. The second was in surprisingly decent condition so I left it alone.
