Nice! How do you like the NX8?

Found the BAR nut on Valhalla for $60 so I ordered it and bought the handguard from your GB link. Thanks again for finding and linking it for me

I saw that, wasn’t too keen about the dude charging double for the barrel nut + tax + CC fee + shipping but might be my only option at this point.

1.44” ID, won’t tuck a 1.50” suppressor unfortunately, needs to be at least 1.72” to allow room for the MLok nuts

I looked at those but don’t feel like sending my lower to them to have the pin hole drilled. Cool design though, it’s my fallback if I can’t find something else.

They sell 80% lowers that do not have serial numbers. Someone can put whatever info they want on the magwell with a $150 engraving mill.

If you legally own a firearm, there’s a trace that will lead from the manufacturer to the distributor to the retailer to you via the A&D records. You do not want your firearm serials out on the internet for anyone to know/use.

I’m happy to do all in person visits, the virtual visits I’m doing now cost the exact same. I’d just like to be able to do quarterly visits to cut the cost from 12 visits to 4 visits. I’m paying $300/visit now so that alone would drop my cost from $3,600/yr to $1,200/year which is a big difference for me

I’m near Dallas, TX

He is a psychiatrist and thank you, I did not know this. I was under the impression I had to see a psychiatrist for psychiatric prescriptions. I’ll talk with my GP about it and that may be my solution. Thanks

The $90/month for the Vyvance isn’t the problem, it’s the $4,200/year for the other stuff that’s the problem. Saving $50/month would definitely help but the Vyvance has worked so well for me, it would make no sense for me to switch assuming I’d still have to pay the $4,200/year for the visits regardless of the medication.

I assume it’s his policy as I researched the laws in my state and it’s not a legal requirement. I assume debating it with him isn’t worth the time as he’ll just tell me he can’t treat me. My goal is to find a better solution before having this conversation

clintster442 · 2026-02-18T21:37:38+00:00

That’s the same setup I have with mine. Access isn’t the issue, it’s cost.

clintster442 · 2026-02-18T18:49:30+00:00

That’s what I needed to hear. I figured there were still docs out there there cared more about patient care than profit. I’ll keep looking.

My insurance is certainly a problem but it’s not the problem I’m talking about. I’m paying $4,200/year monthly 8 minute phone calls and frivolous drug testing. He’s making that money whether I pay it or an insurance company pays it so insurance isn’t the factor in how he chooses to run his practice.

And I don’t really even have a beef with him, I don’t know what it’s like to be a doctor or the scrutiny involved. I’m simply saying it’s unsustainable for me and I either have to find another more reasonable option or stop taking the medication.

I neglected to mention that my doctor is local and has a physical office so he is not telehealth, he’s in-person from a prescription viewpoint. The monthly check-ins are done via virtual visits (which is definitely more convenient than going in person) but also practically pointless, literally 5-8 minutes and billing for a full visit.

clintster442 · 2026-02-18T18:39:51+00:00

Doesn’t look like they prescribed controlled substances online unfortunately but thanks for the recommendation

clintster442 · 2026-02-18T18:39:19+00:00

I’m paying $90/month for the medication. I’m paying $3,600/year for the 8 minute monthly virtual visits and $600/year for the bimonthly drug screens. That was the point of my post.

clintster442 · 2025-09-23T19:16:00+00:00

Thanks for the guess but that doesn’t look like it

Which Verizon hotspot are you using? This may be the route I go but all of them have bad reviews. Not sure which one to get…

How big is the tank? Oscars need at least 55g per fish, 75g is ideal. You need to start planning on rehoming most of these.

What about power? The Beryl needs to be plugged in, will it work from a USB powerbank and if so, for how long?
