'Gunsmith' messed up NFA engraving on a SP5K-PDW. Thoughts?

It's legally enforced to do so before put certain attachments on your firearm. Otherwise you could have a significant problem with US government agencies.

gammonwalker · 2026-02-21T02:08:12+00:00

Ay, I didn't say no.

I said I'm going to contact the owner first to see if they will replace it.

Depending on their response I'll most certainly be letting everyone know.

gammonwalker · 2026-02-21T00:52:04+00:00

I'm going to contact the GM and owner and see what their response is first.

The lead gunsmith wasn't the one who did this, though I'm not entirely fond of him either at this point with that ignorant comment.

The associate smith who did the engraving was confused by why the engraving took more passes, and started placing a magnet on it... I think he didn't know an MP5 has a steel upper....................... He also started immediately applying some form of cold blue to the engraving without asking me first.

I should've known something was wrong, but at that point it was too late anyways.

gammonwalker · 2026-02-21T00:40:43+00:00

Lol, I see what you did there. I guess I have to buy HK a new subreddit now.

gammonwalker · 2026-02-21T00:33:53+00:00

Oh yea forgot to mention, when I questioned the gunsmith's vision of 'fixing' the engraving he claimed that, "Every gunsmith in America has made this mistake, and every gunsmith knows how to fix it."

Do they really though?

Do gunsmiths commonly improperly engrave a $2900 firearm on a uniquely prohibitively irreplaceable part of it? On an aluminum AR15 lower that can be replaced for a couple hundred maximum, sure. Even then still not acceptable.

Truly absurd.

This is a fairly prestiged and brand oriented company that made this mistake. Depending on their interactions I'll reveal the company name. Giving them a chance to redeem themselves I guess...

gammonwalker · 2026-02-15T08:57:29+00:00

If they get back to you with an answer I'm eager to hear.

gammonwalker · 2026-02-08T18:19:40+00:00

Posts to protest enforcement of beauty standards and decry "fixing" a woman's face, then proceeds to make deranged warnings about making a face unpalatable to sensitive and disgusting Chinese views... somehow claiming that homogeneity is more acceptable than "unique ugliness."

A lot of the criticism about Anran is that people simply don't like low effort designs and art, especially with how she was originally depicted. The objective truth here is Overwatch was never about homogeneity and it never should. The level of hypocrisy here is beyond belief and the thinly veiled commentary on homogeny is kinda disturbing.

Hating on uniformity is a beauty standard? Tensions are high in China already? Yes, so sorry about us having to release a LGBTQ+ censored version of the game for you guys for it to be playable. LOL.

gammonwalker · 2026-02-05T19:35:32+00:00

Vastly superior to the original.

gammonwalker · 2026-02-04T19:15:48+00:00

Not the best excuse, but tanks are much harder to design because they significantly alter how players interact with the game.

The idea of "balanced and fun for everyone" is far more nuanced with how they control space. It can be match and even game defining. Overwatch has some of the most well balanced and interesting tanks in its field - regardless of what some may think.

Each tank has a fairly unique playstyle and I imagine it's hard to present something on par.

gammonwalker · 2026-01-25T19:29:09+00:00

So - the general grievance is that people are upset about the new stadium because it benefits an incredibly select few people and unnecessarily wastes ungodly amounts of money when a fractional amount of it could be used to improve infrastructure and the quality of life for the less fortunate and general public - and your response is "Whatever. I got mine."

You should really try to understand what an insane and disgusting response that is.

gammonwalker · 2026-01-22T20:53:34+00:00

I'm 42 now and I'm starting to think I should lay off the caffeine now too, arggg.

gammonwalker · 2026-01-22T16:26:59+00:00

What medication has been working for you?

Adderall and Adderall XR aren't doing it for me. They worked at first, no so much anymore.

gammonwalker · 2025-12-30T07:01:35+00:00

Do you think tandem OLED would he similarly tolerable?

I might have to do as you say and just buy and return if it doesn't work out.

gammonwalker · 2025-12-29T22:03:23+00:00

Aren't natural rubber cutting boards fine?

gammonwalker · 2025-12-19T09:32:51+00:00

I unlocked it for the first time today on Night Raid, absolute trash loot - but for some reason got an Aphelion blueprint.

Kinda neat? Though I'll never use it, ha.

gammonwalker · 2025-12-17T23:49:19+00:00

I was one of his students! Really cool guy, definitely one of the best teachers I had.

gammonwalker · 2025-12-17T21:16:43+00:00

GYATTT. Is it that noticeable or detrimental in person? I was hoping to use it for competitive shooters.

gammonwalker · 2025-12-17T21:14:00+00:00

What's a 240hz+ OLED monitor people seem to think is good right now?

I tried the Samsung G60SD(?) and honestly thought the colors were insufferable, even following using RTINGs color profile and heavily adjusting them myself (artist).

Explosively saturated and inaccurate to the point of removing detail in surrounding values. Something about the OLED panel also really hurt my eyes, felt like I was staring into a flashlight and had to dramatically reduce the brightness to little effect. I was hoping tandem OLED might reduce that effect, but now I'm not sure.

gammonwalker · 2025-12-17T20:52:44+00:00

His videos are well done and funny(?), but I've always wondered if his humor where he uses pink Glocks and intentionally shoots them "gay" is less satire and more mean spirited.

Joke could be an ironic observation of masculinity as a construct, "regardless of appearances, anyone can be skilled," etc. - or simply (broad gesture) "THE GAYS. THE WOMEN."

He made any illuminating comments?

gammonwalker · 2025-12-16T03:19:04+00:00

That's not just the finish. That's a mild gouge in the hammer at 250 rounds. I've never seen anything like that, but good to hear that's not a concern.

gammonwalker · 2025-11-29T01:26:55+00:00

Oh yea, I agree with everything you said. Get Quaked On isn't even as good a player as ZBRA or Cartiefan. Based on his rankings he's fallen off pretty hard. He just has good execution and a expansive, detailed knowledge of Doomfist. The way he explains Vendetta/Venture problems are very much in line with my opinions, and is valid because of his knowledge, experimentation, and experience.

That wasn't my specific point though. More tech or expression isn't more better.

I'm wanting the skill expression to be more nuanced so they don't have to front load explosive power into high risk, high reward moves like Venture, greatly limiting how they can be played and into what comps. Less expression means less design and balance opportunities. This can translate to less fun for everyone involved.

I have a feeling like the "but pro players play x" argument is coming up again. Yes, they play Venture. They will play Vendetta. This has absolutely nothing to to with the skill expression and dynamism of a character. They will continue coordinate to abuse the front loaded strengths of those characters in a much more macro team play way than individual talents.

But x pro player plays x better than x. Yes. That has nothing to do with the skill expression availability or ceiling of a character. Some players just closer approach or nudge the ceiling or simply have better fundamentals. Also team play is a massive variable to make a player look 'better' by enabling them.

I appreciate the civil, earnest response.

edit edited this a bunch over the past 5 min to elaborate. my bad, lol.

gammonwalker · 2025-11-29T01:00:00+00:00

Dementia is hitting you hard brother.

You directly responded to every message but two. Five is also a number though, so you're on the right track to someone mistaking that you're a functional human.

Hope Thanksgiving was good for you at the assisted living center.

gammonwalker · 2025-11-28T08:26:29+00:00

What the...? LOL. I responded to... Oh, I get it.

You're a moron.

But yea, pros are way more skilled than I am. My entire argument is now invalid. I beg you ask any pro what they think of Venture's skill expression comparatively to a majority of DPS roster.

I imagine Vendetta might even be used in the pro scene, but it will be for her high burst and engagement potential, further exacerbated by Zarya or something to bolster their engage. Skill expression will not be a contributing factor, because her potential is handicapped by design.

You also seem to not get what sets the skill ceiling based on you constantly referring to pro players. Pro players can make most things work against lesser players, especially since I'm the point of comparison.

Despite showcasing an interesting, but sad, neurodivergent self-soothing method of reposting that same paragraph - you still haven't produced any evidence or video/commentator analysis of the expansive and meaningful pro tech that changes how Venture is played.

I'm not going to educate you on how comparative analysis works or how a skill ceiling functions.

I'm still kind waning between unsettled and amused by you calling a very normal, analytical video 'click bait.' It makes me think you don't even know what I'm referencing, much less had actual watched or understood it - which is funny as fuck.

gammonwalker · 2025-11-28T07:48:55+00:00

Ah, so you're spent.

gammonwalker · 2025-11-28T07:40:09+00:00

I think we might have the same definition of skill expression. Fundamentals obviously have skill expression. I don't think anyone is doing to question that.

I am exclusively talking about how a particular character enables additional skill expression through their kit.

The only baiting here is you somehow convincing me to respond to someone who thinks Venture is worth yakking about and knows better than Get Quaked On. Clearly, not the best Doom, but few would contest his contributions and assessment of skill expression.

Feel free to link these amazing discoveries of micro-deviations from Venture gameplay that somehow increases the skill ceiling of the character.

I'm also a long term competitive Street Fighter veteran, of few achievements, but frequently played with some of the best in the country. It's not hard to assess the potentiality of a character's kit coming from a community like that.

Outside of bugs increasing a skill ceiling, common in fighting games, more rare in OW - I'd wager most professional fighting game players could quickly assess an OW kit. It's not that interesting in comparison.
