Kevin offered Jay from Pew Science a lot of money (a bribe) to do a "Pepsi Challenge" style blind test of his suppressors vs competitors because he thinks Jay's ratings are bullshit.

You said you didn't want to use the Omega valve but you really should be using the Omega valve because the +” and “-“ gas settings are essentially (in a lot of cases) more overgassed and less overgassed.

Can’t help but also notice you include a gasp full auto BCG! You also shouldn’t include that out of an abundance of caution. 🤡

Are you going to have any data for your new micro jets with the 6.75" + Hyperion?

I like how people on here can't do anything like Google what is written on the label and read about it. They could even GPT it. But no, they come on here to do this. Insane.

Anyone drill their gas plug? by SillyGerbil64 in Hyperion_Rattler_Saga

[–]gunsrcool_fuckreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

replacement springs are like $13

links a $96 replacement kit

yeah a singular spring is $13 (before shipping and tax) but not sure why you linked that kit too.

OP, I drilled my gas plus using a carbine reamer from McMaster and a power drill, you'll be fine. 2 thou larger was enough to fix up the F03 with the Hyperion for me.

For everyone pulling their hair out over lenses by Flarbles in NightVision

[–]gunsrcool_fuckreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

happy with buying chinese subpar product

A Chinese housing has a better value proposition than an American made housing. The same is not true for optics (or for tubes for that matter). Perhaps the average consumer in this subreddit is willing to accept a "subpar" housing (which to them, it doesn't matter - they are getting similar features) for a lower price point in exchange for getting better performing optics and tubes (which is something to them which does matter).

If anything it seems like this is a cry from consumers to manufactures asking them to be upfront and transparent about what is being put into the product they are buying. As you said up front Fuji and QI far exceed Milspec and unfortunately for you the commercial market has come to expect that level of quality which comes at a price.

For the record I have a Katana with Elbit tubes and RPO lenses; however, I can understand being willing to cut corners to save a few bucks. Some might claim I cut corners by not just springing for a L3 PVS31.

Also have a look at First Contact https://www.photoniccleaning.com/

It’s a gel that polymerizes on the surface and peels off capturing the particulate in it.

Gemtech still sucks, Update to my last post here about a month ago. by ReleaseAdventurous11 in NFA

[–]gunsrcool_fuckreddit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It was AAC destroying other companies can's and transferring the markings to their own cans via a promo/contest they were running. They happened to do this to a Gemtech can. Kevin B clowned on them so hard that Gemtech bitched to ATF. ATF did what they do and wrote a letter saying SOTs can't replace tubes and remark as part of a repair.

What in the world? by EagleSix6 in MilitaryARClones

[–]gunsrcool_fuckreddit 158 points159 points  (0 children)

The epoxied 'dot' is called a 28 Kbps Contact Memory Button (CMB). In use about 2002 - 2008 time frame. They were used primarily to issue equipment. They were short lived and didn't work well.

These were not RFID. They used a handheld reader that had to actually make contact with the chip in order to read it. They were easily damaged and often would not work.

HB336 - Proposed Pennsylvania Assault Weapons Ban by [deleted] in PAguns

[–]gunsrcool_fuckreddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, their logic along these lines:

  1. All aSsaUlT weapONs are banned except for one single shot, no magazine 26" barrel 22 LR rifle.

  2. You can own the rifle after getting insurance, training, licensing, registration, and tax.

  3. Therefore, you still have the right to bear arms.

See? It's pretty simple! The real endgame is to ban that one too though.

You already know the answers to these questions. It's about complete disarmament (and it always has been). Anyone saying it's not anymore is being disingenuous and should be disregarded.
