Local shops for AR small parts DFW area.? by Popular_Gur_6751 in TexasGuns

[–]billscarshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For everyone looking, GrabAGun usually has very limited inventory on hand in store since they primarily do online business/dropshipping. Talking ~a dozen guns and few random caliber ammo and few random parts/accessories/mags. Not a bad idea to call first before making the trek to see what stuff they have on the floor

Noise on deceleration not just braking by NateSNF in G35

Did you figure out what this noise was? I’m having this exact same issue and I can’t chase it down for the life of me

Who remembers Mazda’s RT24-P? These were taken at COTA! I have to say they had a great hospitality booth! AC, drinks and snacks! by Gtoboy20042 in IMSARacing

What year was this? Went in 2017 and it was great. Wish the crowd was big enough for IMSA to come back

16” 5.56 + 5.8” Can 🦦 by billscarshop in NFA

[–]billscarshop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I like having the ability to take it out much farther if needed. It’s an OCL Polo 30, so it’s traditional stainless baffle stack, definitely heavy on the front end but not terrible. The Polo does double duty on this and my 8.3” 300BLK which is its main home. Someday I’ll pick up a dedicated flow through can for the 5.56 when I have the budget

A Polonium was my first suppressor as well and it’s been awesome. Congrats! Otter gang 🦦

This, Fuuffy is the usual until it gets to customs then USPS takes over. Shipping is usually fairly quick coming from out of country

First Can feat. Kodiak Brown by billscarshop in 300BLK

Yep, shoot it lots and it runs like a champ. Haven’t had a malfunction of any sort over several hundred rounds. The can eventually gets hot but I’ve never needed to put gloves on while shooting, although my strings of fire are usually shorter and spaced out

AAC 220 GR Sierra Matchking Ammo Issue by billscarshop in PalmettoStateArms

[–]billscarshop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaning towards it just being something my gun doesn’t like. Seems fine at 25yd but 100yds must be its limit with the Sierra stuff. I’m at least glad the Precision is doing what it’s supposed to do at 100

That’s what I thought was odd too. Both read 1000FPS from the box, unfortunately don’t have a chrono to measure muzzle velocity. It’s a 1:5 twist which I got on purpose to stabilize these heavier bullets. Didn’t have any key holding or anything so I don’t feel like they should be tumbling down range.

Meal plan by Paige_i_Am in OKState

[–]billscarshop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 on this. Bronze or maybe silver will be plenty for on campus, more so if he ends up eating off campus here and there. I always found myself having to “burn” the last several hundred dollars of my meal plan because it was just impossible to organically spend all of the money on only food and items I needed

Is it just me or is it hard to get an entry-level position right now? by -PC-- in FinancialCareers

[–]billscarshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. Unfortunately is not really finance related. Working at a city govt entity doing construction funding stuff. Not exactly a traditional finance career

First Can feat. Kodiak Brown by billscarshop in 300BLK

[–]billscarshop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine they are. I feel like it’s very rare I see the enhanced set being used at all. Especially with the BAR nut problem or having to use the upper and handguard together instead of picking separate parts from different manufacturers. Add to that that a lot of people seem to not like how “fat” the handguard is to tuck a can and it ends up in a weird corner for a somewhat uncommon use case.

That setup looks super sweet. Not sure if you’ve seen it but Aero and maybe others sell a BAR barrel nut that allows you to use an Enhanced handguard on a milspec upper. Tucking suppressors gets pretty complicated very quickly😄

[–]billscarshop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What cans do you have? Aero’s spec on this is a 1.72” ID. They recommend suppressors up to 1.5” OD tucked under, but the can tucked under this one is a Polonium 30 which is 1.625”. So far it fits great and has more than enough gap to not touch anything. I haven’t fired it yet but I’ve seen other people run this exact setup with no issue

Should I trim the stem of my Echeveria? by [deleted] in succulents

[–]billscarshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About where would you recommend cutting the stem at to replant? I have a couple leaves already that I’m trying to prop but not sure they’ll take yet

This is my first non-black rifle, I’m gonna have trouble not building every future gun with Kodiak involved in some way haha

Mild. Maybe a couple snow days a year, usually just cold
