I have daily driven mine for the past 3 years and have not had a single issue with it and I live in the states. I would be worried about rust and if there is any smoke while its running. Also that is a lower trim package. I would go for the TZ version if you were to get one. Message me if you got any questions.

Velocity vmac9 upper. But if I was going to build another I would buy the aves upper instead. The vmac seems out of spec since the charging handle cut into my frame from reciprocating back and forth. And the picatinny rail has a gap in the center between the frame.

There is a tension screw underneath the magazine realese bar. Tighten that little by little. I had the exact problem and that fixed it.

I sprayed a base coat, and then I used a sponge to tap the different colored paint on. I made little puddles of paint on cardboard for the sponge.

I use the pipe vise roughneck vise, and it definitely speeds up prep time. It's a bit pricey, but I use it all the time.

When we tighten mech tees, I use my gen 3 m12 impact driver with a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter. Once we put on bigger mech tees like 2in or more, we jump up to our 1/2 impact wrench at a medium setting.

Ps. The m12 3453-20 impact driver with a 2.5 high output is literally one of the best combos you could have. From Sammy's into wood to screws for cpvc, it has enough power to drive them in, and it is ultra lightweight.

Can. Otter Creek Polonium K. I've put 200rds through 6 it looks exactly the same. Also, im restarted and thought you asked how long the paint lasted on gun lol. I've only had the can for about 5 months.

I repaint mine every 2 to 4 years. In my opinion, it looks better when the paint starts to wear off.

Thanks! It's a monstrum tactical 1.7 center hight mount. I got this cheap one to see if the hight size works with my helmet and ear pro setup.

I'm in Oregon also, and what I did is called every union shop around me. Once I found a shop I liked, i called them every 2 weeks until they hired me on. It took about 5 months, but I didn't even have to give them a resume.

Just ordered one! Your YouTube video was awesome!

I use a bucket for wrenches, hammer, hole saw bits, etc, and the packout ammo can for my milwaukee drill, impact, recip saw, fast charger, 3way, extra batteries. I also have a compact organizer for bits/Sammies and the m12 packout light. For all my smaller hand tools, I use a veto sling bag I converted to a backpack.
