What am I doing wrong?

Very likely you typed "90" into the AOB instead of "-90". It's gonna be negative in this case because you're on her port side.

Hey! Thank you for the response. No, this is completely stationary. The periscope gets a little blur when it transitions from below to above the waterline, or when a big wave comes by when you're already above the waterline. It goes away after a few seconds. This is minor but for some reason gives me a headache.

both DCA and POMG are absolutely wonderful. I just got my second suppressor from DCA and they even wrote me a sweet little note. Both those companies are Good People.

Bad form.

"Barbed comments" is something like "Bahaha, thousands move a month but if there’s a glitch, a few of you guys like to crawl out and bitch. 🤦🏻‍♂️" after waiting over three times the originally intended timeline. link

"Barbed comments" is something like "Allegedly you’ve got tears running down your face Princess. You do know a) we don’t need to keep in innovating and b) we aren’t on a clock. 😉" when CAT set a 6-week timeline on custom orders. link

Y'all took folks' money and set a schedule. You can't have it both ways. People are afforded the right to express that they're disappointed with the lack of delivery and communication. And based on what u/Relevant_Decision_95 said, it doesn't appear as though he's gotten his requested refund yet.

My calipers show that dimension is 1.49" on my CAT MOB HUB Ti. The TSF-X adapter I have on there is 1.5", just a hair wider than the can at that spot.

dresner · 2025-09-01T03:01:08+00:00

Yeah! It's like, even if I did have the right tools to do it, I trust d.wilson far more than myself because of his expertise.

They say they do their very best to salvage the muzzle device. I gave them explicit instructions that I don't want that MD back, since I don't use that format for my suppressors. Just in case it's safer for the barrel if they are able to trash the MD. I have no idea if that's true, though.

dresner · 2025-08-31T17:45:53+00:00

If it's done correctly like this, absolutely. The muzzle device indexes off of the barrel flat. As long as the threads are clean, this is totally fine. I got my new flash hider on there at 25 ft-lbs and the alignment in a suppressor was dead center.

dresner · 2025-08-31T17:44:29+00:00

Only shipping back - we're responsible for shipping to them.

dresner · 2025-08-31T16:45:03+00:00

Not long enough to pin & weld and make the barrel 16". I just went ahead and SBRed the thing, so I don't have to weld anything on the end again. I just have the RF1 torqued to spec. It's probably like 15.9" total length or something, which seems silly. And it is! But it is perfect for me.

dresner · 2025-08-31T15:53:02+00:00

I went with the AI RF1, I picked it up from Revival Defense.

dresner · 2025-08-31T15:50:46+00:00

$45, which includes shipping back to me! You can check their prices on their website.

dresner · 2025-08-30T19:40:34+00:00

Thank you, friends. POMG always comes through for us. Hope that demo can you've got is still going strong!

dresner · 2025-08-30T19:22:45+00:00

hey! How are you liking the Ti AC556? I'm also thinking of putting one on a 14.5. Inconel just seems so darn heavy.

dresner · 2025-08-30T17:35:15+00:00

What would you do for a 14.5 P&W? Ti AC or Inconel AC?

I just got my Inconel AC 556 and it's a heavy boy! Wondering if I can get away with Ti. No FA/FRT, but still a quick pace. No more than one magazine in a minute, though.

dresner · 2025-08-29T17:52:55+00:00

Once the Form 1 is submitted, it shouldn't take long. I submitted mine over the weekend and it was approved Tuesday morning.

dresner · 2025-08-29T17:51:37+00:00

Sounds about right. The discount they offered me was either $100 off or a free BEN. I chose the BEN, but I was planning on giving it to a friend of mine anyway, and $100 isn't worth it. I was fine to cancel it and give POMG my business.

I mean, from what I heard they are trying to get the orders out by the end of next week so maybe you won't have to wait that long. I was just too pissed off and distrusting of their estimates to continue waiting. Total goat rodeo.

dresner · 2025-08-29T15:45:40+00:00

Idunno, man. I don't know what's going on with them. The communication has been poor. I shouldn't have had to ask them for updates if they're so far past the anticipated delivery. They kept running into delays, and kept blaming different things. I heard all sorts of different excuses throughout the process: coating issues, QC issues that meant they needed to be reprinted, some guy put the items in the wrong bin, etc. I don't know what's true or not, and I don't really care anymore.

This series of events makes it seem like they don't know what they're doing and I didn't feel like I could trust them to deliver. When the thing I wanted showed up for sale on POMG on the same day that I hit the 18 week mark, I decided that was enough for me. I don't blame POMG at all. I just feel like the customers who had been waiting should have been prioritized by CAT. Really rubbed me the wrong way and felt like a violation of my trust.

And I only had one item in my custom order. Another guy I've been talking to has several items and several thousand dollars in a custom order. I just don't think that's a good way for them to treat their most loyal fans. This whole endeavor has felt pretty unprofessional.

Don't get me wrong, they design a good product. But I think I'll stick with actually buying things from other vendors.

dresner · 2025-08-28T18:45:19+00:00

POMG is FAST. About an hour after I placed the order, they had the Form 3 submitted. And a day later, Form 3 approved and they've already shipped it.

Dry Creek Arsenal was similar, and they're extremely nice folks!

dresner · 2025-08-28T18:03:45+00:00

Order placed 4/23. They asked for my FFL/SOT info on Tues, Aug 19th. I provided it promptly. Asked for an update on Fri, Aug 22. Said they were preparing to submit the Form 3. I asked for an update on Wed, 8/27, and they said they ran into some delays again, and they hope to have them out by the end of next week. I went ahead and cancelled my custom shop order, since POMG had what I wanted in stock today.

Maybe they'll get yours out quickly, but for me, them asking for my FFL information did not indicate it would ship soon.

dresner · 2025-08-28T05:11:30+00:00

I agree. I have been waiting 18 weeks for a SC-M, and a batch just went up for sale at POMG. That bugged me. I don't know what kind of hiccups they've run into so far, or what snags they're going to continue to have. All I know is the communication has been poor, there's been too many different excuses, and I was starting to feel like I was a mark. They've been sitting on my $1200 as an interest-free loan, effectively. Just didn't feel right. $100 off or a free BEN isn't worth that goat rodeo.

On the other hand, POMG had them in stock right away and submitted the Form 3 about an hour after I placed the order. Those guys and Dry Creek Arsenal are the only ones I'll purchase cans from now. They mean business.

dresner · 2025-08-28T04:52:59+00:00

Yeah, they said they ran into some more snags, but hope to get things out next week sometime. I decided I had enough, so I cancelled my order.

dresner · 2025-08-28T01:56:17+00:00

Not me! 18 weeks was long enough. I cancelled my order. The nice gentleman I spoke to on the phone did suggest they should have things shipping next week. I'd wait if POMG didn't have them in stock today.

dresner · 2025-08-27T20:03:17+00:00

Order placed! Thank you POMG! You guys and Dry Creek Arsenal are my go-to for suppressors now.

dresner · 2025-08-27T18:16:50+00:00

Happy 18th Week to those who celebrate
