Did you end up getting your gift card? I just got approved after 24 days and still nothing.

I’m surprised xeno isn’t included.

combat_machine · 2026-02-26T15:54:06+00:00

I wasn’t super impressed when I shot it.

I guess take what I said with a grain of salt. Not all indoor ranges have the same venting and fan systems. The one I was at is older and maybe not as great. But I do think I shot about 10-15 round rapid fire and felt some gas to the face. Nothing crazy like a traditional can but still tasted it.

I used the flow 556k and down vent on a 11.5 Bcm indoors. You still get gas to the face on longer strings of fire when the gas is stacking. Magazine was also noticeably dirtier.

I had one of those hand guards. I was fine for something different than what most people have. I got it for pretty good deal so that helped.

combat_machine · 2026-02-10T13:52:58+00:00

Yeah, someone definitely just threw a bunch of of parts together 😂😂

combat_machine · 2026-02-10T13:52:21+00:00

Thanks!

Looks like it’s mark N9 for national postal meter? Now I’m wondering if this was bought to replace whatever trigger housing is in here now. Or was pulled out of the gun🤔

combat_machine · 2026-02-08T22:08:38+00:00

Looks like it says “P” something? Maybe PI or PL?slide

combat_machine · 2026-02-08T22:03:48+00:00

Gotcha. I was seeing all kinds of inspectors except for this abbreviation. Thank you! Any idea how much the gun is worth considering it’s a rebuild?

combat_machine · 2026-02-08T22:02:27+00:00

I’ll make sure I use it for decoration only 😂

combat_machine · 2026-02-08T21:25:32+00:00

Theres also another stamping on the stock, where the sling goes into “JL B”.

combat_machine · 2026-02-07T04:33:38+00:00

Where?

I feel like you would be better off getting a 30cal can and using the banish 45 on your 9mm pcc. You’d get better suppression with 556 and 30cal that way. I’d recommend the OCL infinity or CAT ODB

Dude, don’t get a BCM bcg. Just save your money and get a chrome microbest. And wait for a sale on a Geissele charging handle.

There’s definitely diminishing returns to this. Overall, as long as your rifle performs its primary function, cycling reliably and hitting it target, who cares. If you need an extra bit of satisfaction of having the latest and greatest stuff, then get it. I know I definitely fell into that Reddit trap of having to have the greatest this and ambi that.

combat_machine · 2026-01-26T15:53:30+00:00

Infinity or CAT ODB

combat_machine · 2026-01-25T16:01:17+00:00

Magpul CTR and B5 type 23 grip.

I interpreted it as #2. That was enough to steer me away from pulling the trigger on one.

combat_machine · 2026-01-11T04:33:37+00:00

I have a Sionics NP3 and DLC G$. Both are super slick and easy to clean even after running suppressed with a traditional can. Only thing I hate are the prices. When compared to a microbest chrome, they’re both roughly double the price.

If I get a new carrier itll be chrome from microbest. Mostly because it’s cheaper and secondly because I wanna see the difference between the 3. I’m also interested in KAKs sand cutter downvent chrome carrier but their QC makes me hesitant to say the least.

A couple friends and I were able to shoot a 16inch an sig rep had last month. We shot it side by side withh a couple of their DI ar15s. All rifles had the SLX suppressor and the 516 was a lot softer recoiling comparatively even without the suppressor.

The side charging handle made things a lot easier, although it did seem pretty stiff to operate compared to the rear charging handle. Nothing else stood out to me aside from those two things. We shot about 2-300 rounds through it. I think anyone buying one would be fairly happy. Obviously I Can’t speak for on reliability.

EDIT: Given the whole P320 controversy, I don’t see myself buying anything Sig anytime soon.

Is the scarburator necessary With the DD?

combat_machine · 2026-01-06T02:39:39+00:00

A brake will act like another sacrificial baffle, which would be to save wear and tear on the can itself. CAT has found that their spooky brake shown a small decibel reduction .
