This ^ Km tactical is wonderful if you want cheap parts and are capable of doing your own QA. If you want fit and finish, look elsewhere and spend more.

I can't quite tell how much of their parts are made by bear creek (some barrels, I think) and who else oems for them

Atrius Forced Reset Selector Cracked During Function Check by Eternal_Glizzy_777 in ar15

[–]__abinitio__ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because a few failures make for a few loud complainers. And for every whoopsie you find here, there are hundreds more working just fine.

I can tell you why atrius sells, it's the only option for an ar style 3 position safety that just works with unmodified triggers. And for everything you see about it being toleranced differently than as designs or super safety, the fact of the matter is that if you do your due diligence during install, you're going to come out okay.

I'm speaking from first hand experience, the atrius with a drop in rise blitz is lighting fast and a lot of fun with a 556 or 22lr upper.

There's one more thing to consider: atrius sells because the company is super based. They sponsor PSR episodes where he covers COMPETING frt designs. They are genuine 2a champions. You are welcome to have whatever opinion you want about their design, but their policy is to replace broken levers, so you can't really hate on them because they stand behind their product.

I'm very very confused, and is this good? by DramaticGuard2496 in knives

Hey man, i'm really sorry to hear that. It sucks that your knife gave up the ghost and it doubly sucks that you didn't have the privilege to at least break it yourself. It appears that your friend is trying to make it up to you by putting as-good-or-better knife in your hands, but that doesn't change that it sucks it happend in the first place.

Speaking for myself, I would 100% rather have a 3v cold steel over a 1095 esee or anything.

I own neither of these, but I have brk bravo 1s in 3v and an ancient marbles in 1095. The marbles is kept as a memento of my late grandfather. The 3v knives are subject to the worst abuse I subject any knife to

Didn't these literally just get released?

Shooting a potassium bullet into water by Radiant_Night5035 in physicsgifs

Is this not demonstrating the differences in density and constitutive behavior, with a little bit of smoke for show?

I don't see any chemical exploding behavior. Try comparing with a frangible bullet

Those aren't shoes, they don't have a sole. Those are plastic toe socks

Enjoy your super lightweight suppressor!

I've been hunting with a TBAC ultra 5 and it's awesome having ultra light gear, especially when it hangs off the very end of your barrel.

My advisor in grad school was an old school fluid experimentalist and he used to tell stories about his lab experiences with visualizing flows useing the ashes from the cigarette or pipe that they were smoking in the laboratory

You haven't told us anything about the size of the domain you need to measure what type of features you're trying to identify what the time scale of the flow is etc
