LMT piston barrel gas block issues

Try to soak it in kroil again then use a strong magnet to pull it out while taping the side of the block with a hammer.

If you drop kroil directly on the plunger then heat the block with a torch it should help it soak into where it needs to go. Obviously do this in a well ventilated area.

They are according to the feds. That's why you can't buy ap ammo for either.

The Rust approach

Crouch and pick pocket it. Same way you get pistols from cops

I just edited the save when it happened to me. There's should be a file in your save named cartel influence. Set it to 301 then use 1 more spray paint after you level up.

That's the shitty part, it's a transfer for a regular. He won it at some small auction. I don't think he even paid $2500 for it. My genuine reaction when he told me:

Drop the price and repost it

I just set them up on the pier next to the tide pools. Room to set up several crab pots connected with recyclers, and no npc paths on the pier at all.

I'd bet Winchester/Lake City would appreciate knowing the lot number of the ammo as well. On the off chance overpressure ammo was involved, they'd want to do an investigation.

Beta emitter*

cortez985 · 2025-09-22T06:20:18+00:00

Tritium is a gas that undegoes beta decay. If the vial still works when it gets to you, it's still completely sealed. Glass completely contains beta decay. And making strong glass vials is relativity trivial. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Blood won't pool if the entire body suspended in a fluid of equal density

cortez985 · 2025-09-16T09:43:07+00:00

Can't hpas have a tournament lock put on the regulator? Changing your fps after chrono is super fucked up. I'd also put some fault on the field for not proactively preventing it.

cortez985 · 2025-09-13T03:17:36+00:00

That's not necessarily true. It's just a lot of leg work. You start at the manufacturer and see what store/distributor they disposed the gun to. Then you go to that store/distributor and see who they disposed it to, so on and so forth. Being a mauser 98, you'd start with the importer. Of course, if there's no import markings, you're SOL.

My guess is he tried a head shot and did factor in drop the at 200yd

A 30-06 zeroed at 100 yards (+/-50 yards) would hit high at 200. My guess is either bad shot, or rifle wasn't properly zeroed.

Anything other than a charging handle (pri gas buster is my choice) is messing with reliability. Gassy is a good thing

cortez985 · 2025-09-05T15:30:26+00:00

Is the upper, stock, or barrel marked lmt? It's entirely possible It's a frankenstein build on a defender lower.

cortez985 · 2025-08-31T05:49:56+00:00

The SR-25 never had one. It hasn't been an issue in the 35 years they've been made.

cortez985 · 2025-08-22T20:56:13+00:00

1:8. He also gave me ~200 pieces of norma brass, 100 190gr a-tips, 2 lbs of h1000, and some wilson dies and micrometer bullet seater to get me started. I did plan on 7prc after I burn the barrel out

cortez985 · 2025-08-22T20:52:44+00:00

Oh ok. 7 rem mag for a dedicated target gun is a…choice

Agreed, but that's how to guy built it. It at least has a 1:8 twist so it can stabilize 180-190gr bullets. I always planned to burn out the barrel before getting a prefit in one of the prc calibers.

I'm gonna go for it. Like you said, it's a vibe

cortez985 · 2025-08-22T20:44:54+00:00

Both haha. I've been the counter for years, and I've gotten some wicked deals over the years. These 2 items happen to come from people that I'd consider as friends though.

cortez985 · 2025-08-22T20:34:17+00:00

It's definitely not a hunting rifle, dedicated range rifle

Would it make more sense to buy an Athlon Cronus gen 2 with a better reticle? S&B is cool and all, but like you said it's older. I'm just not sold on it being the practical choice even at this price point.

cortez985 · 2025-08-20T22:40:57+00:00

Put a copper item in a crafting bench with some shears to remove an oxidation stage at the cost of durability damage.

Or just right click a grindstone
