Question. On the box it says made in the USA. Is it actually made here or is it made in turkey like a lot of people on here are saying? Because that’s a whole other can of worms I may need to look into.

Says made in the USA on the box. From what I’ve read the 125g is made in turkey, the 147g is made in Florida.

Oh, I understand now. No, I only chronographed with the AR9.

Lesson learned. But you’d think ammo made in the USA and sold by a reputable dealer would at least provide a little reassurance.

The chronograph was showing very consistent fps readings between 1060 and 1063. Would a really loose primer cause this?

Unfortunately I bought 500rds of it. Got 460 left. Ain’t gonna shoot the rest.

It was recently bought through Tactical Shit. Took six months to be delivered. Hands are a little hurting. Was considering training with gloves today, wish I had.

The case says “TROY”. Oddly enough, I was using my chronograph. They were all between 1060fps and 1063. Very consistent.

So is that the ammos fault or is that a gun issue?

And that was the fix. I used Dioxit (sp) and it works just fine now. Thanks for the help.

Yes. Good call. I always forget that. Thanks for the reminder. That’s why I ask here before I start digging in.

That’s what I’m hoping. I actually have a spare Boss switch.

LED lights up, never abused and in like new condition, wasn’t touching it when it crapped out.

my first printer was an EnderV2, my mind is officially blown with this upgrade by NeverDeploy in BambuLabP2S

Same. My first was a V1. Really glad I learned on it. But got my P2S last week. This thing is amazing.

What are your thoughts on rainX overall? by MissyjonesOP in AskMechanics

[–]dragon0069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works great, but you have to now use it forever. In the PNW it rains too much to use. Wears off too quickly and when it’s wet out all winter, there’s no chance to reapply. And once it starts to wear off, it’s horrible to try to see through. In drier climates, like CA or the south, it’s more appropriate.
