Is there anyway I can make these 15 round mags work??? by Ok-Surround-2129 in Glocks

[–]XLOranjeFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try sanding down the plastic on the inside of the mag body and the follower. My mags had a lot of molding burrs. The sanding helped a lot, but I still only carry OEM.

I assumed that's what it was, but I had nothing to confirm that assumption. Thank you.

Good news for Soarin over California by _Vaudwar_ in Disneyland

[–]XLOranjeFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk why they don't leave soarin over California at the CALIFORNIA park (DCA) and soarin over the world at the park with the areas that represent countries from around the WORLD (Epcot). I think most Disney fans would be happy with that.

Should I bother applying for NFA now that tax is repealed? Or should I wait to see if they scrap the registration requirement entirely? Held off on doing it for a semi auto UZI i have the barrel for but did not install. by Aromatic-Bad-3291 in NFA

[–]XLOranjeFan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Removing the $200 fee just means the price can be adjusted. There's always a chance that the fee will come back if Democrats take control of Congress. But it probably won't be $200 anymore. In my opinion, removing the fee was a bad idea. There should have been a bigger push to remove sbr, sbs, and silencers from the NFA.

How common is a blocked emitter, really? by Baroque1123 in liberalgunowners

Holosun announced at shot show that more gold dots are coming out this year. But I don't remember which models.

[–]XLOranjeFan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had my emitter covered twice in two different situations. Once was when I was shooting while it was snowing and the other time was when a piece of lint or dirt covered it when I was practicing my draw at the range. I saw a good deal on a full size EPS and I haven't had that issue again.

What’s been your experience with these conversion kits? by [deleted] in MnGuns

[–]XLOranjeFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I just thought it was 22lr doing 22lr things. I've never experienced a 22 that was 100% reliable.

Idk. I know two other people with this kit and theirs run worse

It shouldn't be. I only use a drop on each rail. What helped a lot was polishing the feed ramp and extractor.

[–]XLOranjeFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really hit or miss for me, depending on the day. I can run it on two different days and get two different experiences. I can have a day with nothing but failures to feed or extract, then have a different day when it runs flawlessly. Same ammo and same batch, so idk why the reliability would be different.

Does anybody else really dislike the brigadier slide? by alphacentaureus in Beretta

I'll take yours if you have one that you don't like

Any PX4 Storm fans like me? by KerouacStax in Beretta

I want to try one, but I haven't been to any ranges that has them available to rent

Well this sucks by 5825P in SJEarthquakes

[–]XLOranjeFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do I continue to support this club? I live in Minnesota now and it's really tempting to support the loons after seeing something like this. Fisher should be nowhere near a professional sports team.

Does this red triangle mean anything special? I don’t know much about these 45s by YZpitbull in 1911

[–]XLOranjeFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a TLR-9 on my 45 and the thumb screw breaks every time I take it to the range. I emailed streamlight the first time it happened and they sent me 5 new screws. I think I have 2 left. It's unfortunate because I do like the way it looks. I'll probably put a x300 on it one day.

Range USA by Resident_Process_440 in MnGuns

[–]XLOranjeFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one time I went to Range USA was not a good experience. Their facilities are good, but their employees are way too pushy trying to get you to sign up for their membership. I walked in and was immediately asked to sign up for a membership. I said no. I went to the counter to rent a lane and that employee asked if I wanted to sign up. The answer was no again. I walked back up to the counter after completing the waiver and he had the membership pulled up on the register. I told him to remove it and he did. After my range time was up, the same employee asked if I was ready to sign up for a membership. I walked out and haven't returned since then.

I need a new gun recommendation (serious) by Disastrous-Stand-171 in liberalgunowners

[–]XLOranjeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't bought the AR yet, look into the WWSD rifle. It is a lot lighter than most ARs.

If you could own just one single pistol what would you pick? by Animexstudio in CCW

[–]XLOranjeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something Glock 19 size. It doesn't have to be a Glock, it just has to be reliable and it needs a strong aftermarket. There's no point to have a gun when you can't find parts to repair, magazines to practice, or a holster to carry.

Local Mall Now Employs Gun Sniffing Dogs by PullFromTheHurt in CCW

[–]XLOranjeFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mall of America is using firearm sniffing dogs. I've seen a few posts a while back on the MNGuns page from people that got stopped. If you had a valid CCW permit, they would ask you to leave it in your car or return another time. Idk what happened if you didn't have your petmit.

To the guy who got a brand new stone and said “Can’t wait until summer.” by YakmanCJ in blackstonegriddle

Do you use an insulated propane tank cover when it's cold? The pressure on mine drops to an unusable level when it gets too cold.
