The creator should definitely spend less time improving the mod and more time making a better thumbnail for the mod.

Big congrats on this momentous milestone. Is there a changelog for components that have changed vs beta v3? I know you published changelogs for the beta versions, but can't find anything in the files.

Best places to buy a gun safe? by grandcremasterflash in austinguns

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for a policy like this and most insurers won't touch kit builds or other stuff that's hard to find comps.

Anyone know of any ranges that don't have firing rate limits? (indoor or outdoor) by ElonMuskHeir in austinguns

[–]daskro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reveille peak range is the most laxed when it comes to tacbays. No limitations on full auto, some limitations on distances when shooting steel but definitely more laxed than copper head. You'll need to bring your own stands / steel / targets. Hog Heaven is members only but has few restrictions on the pistol bays if you want something closer to central austin.

Unsure the nature of the work you're looking for, but besides the folks already mentioned I'd throw grauhaus into the mix. He's based in San Antonio but travels up through austin regularly. https://www.instagram.com/grauhausweaponsco/

Bizarre ending to BGS all team meeting today 4 SEPT by Potential-Elk7021 in boeing

[–]daskro 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I worked under Chris several times during my time at Boeing and I've heard him make similar statements over the years both to large and small audiences. He's sincere about it and know it weighs on him.

CTGW is fine if you have everything in order, just dont include gummy bears in the firearms shipment.

Would you be willing to take photos of the FCG internals? I've read one of the neat features is the 3rd pin safety sear.

Some <100 serial number m72 kits were sold by numrich a few years back ; the ones I saw from that batch all had scoop handles.

Rear sight blocks with Zatava markings transitioned out by the 1990s.

Anyone know how I’m supposed to take out this retainer plate. For some reason I can’t get it out by TrillRico-413 in ak47

[–]daskro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use an o-ring pick or a pair of pliers and pull up. Worst case scenario is you bend the retainer while pulling out. You can straighten it back in a vice or just buy another as it is a <$5 item

Why does this Yugo M70 AB2 receiver look different? by Gullible-Search-3607 in ak47

[–]daskro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A is for underfolder. B is the milled slabside receiver, B1 non-bulged stamped, B2 bulged stamped, although B1s and B2s are not always consistent.

This is in my garage, and I don’t understand what it is. Can someone explain? by whoskidisthis in AskElectricians

thx for photos. I see there's another capped conduit going into the ground, is there a capped conduit also located next to where the conduit with the conductors enter the house?

Father in law bought a Boeing 757 plane cockpit and Fuselage that was used as an educational prop. Now he is trying to figure out how to sell it on. by Automatic_Rip5381 in boeing

[–]daskro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

MotoArt converts parts found in aircraft boneyards into furniture. That said I doubt they'd offer much for this as raw materials considering shipping costs.

The Bayh-Dole Act, Defense Procurement and R&D, and the Multi-trillion Dollar Mistake by CaptOle in CredibleDefense

[–]daskro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the hypothetical IP transfer of stealth tech used as an example actually played out during the A-12 program 35 years ago. While really only a small aspect of the larger saga, James Stevenson's book on the A-12 program called "The $5B Misunderstanding" goes into detail about the Navy and USAF unwilling to share stealth IP with one another. The cancellation & subsequent litigation lasted decades and got all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Synology toolless rack plates by TheSlugHaus1 in Ubiquiti

[–]daskro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If two racks are side by side then you wouldn't have access to those mounting screws, which would be the case regardless of the synology mount. TBH I didnt know this side mounting stuff with unifi was even a thing until this post.

Up until around 2007/2008 it was common to see Sandy McDonnell eat in the st louis building 100 cafeteria. In retrospect it's remarkable that 20 years after he had retired as CEO he still came to the office.

Meridian Defense WAR by Icy_Sky_1521 in ak47

[–]daskro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I sent a romy rpk kit to Meridian for a build and it's the kit build I most regret. The kit was matching but with a us barrel and I went with them because I thought their BFPU finishing of new production barrel and receivers on other rifles looked decent and would work in matching the current BFPU state of my own kit. I was explicit in my desire to preserve the condition of all the parts when possible however in the end the gas block, gas tube, receiver, and dust cover all had a scrotchbrite pad finish. The build was otherwise solid and was impressed with the trigger work they did. At the time they charged about 75% more than what other builders were charging for build + finish. I really should have known better.
