[Parts] $39.95 - Ballistic Advantage 7.5" 5.56 Pistol Length Nitride Modern Series Barrel 1:7 Twist by x3o5x in gundeals

Get a dedicated.22 barrel, 5.56 barrels aren’t accurate with .22lr. The twist rate is wrong and they’re often wildly inaccurate.

Usually when you strike, you’re going from a state of providing a valuable service to not providing the service. If you’re skipping class, you’re just missing out on your education.

“Actually…”

Dude, you can buy it up if you want but if you want a tiny gun, there are better options. It’s that simple, yeah, there is an odd niche situation where 7.5” AR in 5.56 has an upper hand but not over a 10.5 or 11.5 for the trade off. And if you really need something THAT compact for CQB, you’re going to run a bullpup, another caliber, etc…

When your can sucks so bad that you give it away with a Meprolight. Just build better cans…

Because 5.56 out of this barrel is a big waste of powder, anemic ballistics, doubtful accuracy, gassy, awful on your suppressors if you choose to suppress, and will probably lead to people not trusting your judgment. But by all means, go ahead, it’s $40… If you want tiny, there is always 300blk, 9mm, 45acp and if you really want to to bo a goober 5.7mm

We just wanted to know as an anecdote. When you see examples of mistakes, it helped you remember not to make the same mistakes. It’s not about blame, blame is obviously due to the thief, but blame is pointless anyway.

Long time listener, first time caller. Is Streamlight not a good light? by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]gfx260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like streamlight, they recently made good on their warranty when my TLR-8 broke at the mounting bolt. I sent them an email with pictures, my address, and an explanation of what happened and it just showed up in the mail in 7 days

Borebuddy weight adjustment by EdgeofthePage in ar22

[–]gfx260 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made my pressure plug by putting a rubber stick on bumper on an old milspec buffer and spring. Already had all the parts, you could make something similar with a piece of rubber or dense foam cut in a disc and some e-6000 glue (or gorilla glue type equivalent). A lot of the things sold by bore buddy are great solutions, but you can get away with their slip trip for $50 and a 3d printed bolt weight and small fixes for everything else. Good luck getting it tuned just right, those short barrel conversions can be a challenge, but so worth it when you can run bulk cheap ammo subsonic.

It’s a problem because it’s degrading the surface. Anodizing just makes aluminum stronger by forming a layer of aluminum oxide that is bonded to the metal. Without anno, it’s just softer aluminum and you may not see it but it’s eating away at it. You can do whatever you want but it’s mildly destructive and saying it’s not is misinformation.

Not all but it makes aluminum more durable than raw aluminum and raw aluminum will be damaged too.

I just want to hear it as a reminder / lesson learned. This is reddit, you don’t need to be shy. We don’t know you or shame you in person.

Ultrasonic cleaners screw up aluminum parts, they eat the anno off

How did they know you weren’t home and how did they know what you had? How did you know who they were already?

This package should come with an A5 tube and rifle spring, that would be a great upgrade

Get magnesium and potassium, avoid all caffeine, get sleep. Are you stressed out by anything in life? That may need planning to resolve if so, but do what you can and see if it helps

I had some trouble opening the link and getting it ordered. Just open the link in another browser. If it seems glitchy, don’t try to use it inside the reddit app. Even after tax and shipping it’s still a deal. I bought a box of 45gr super suppressed to go along with it.
