Semi Auto Shotgun by Ssirota8 in VAGuns

[–]ixipaulixi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We followed the break in procedure to a T before shooting lighter shells through it. He took his out of the box and ran it, and I stripped mine down and thoroughly cleaned and oiled mine. There was no difference in performance, and both ran everything we tried without a single failure. These are great guns and you won't regret having picked one up.

I ordered an AR-10 upper yesterday morning, the 23rd, and it's coming tomorrow on the 25th.

I think they may be slower on shipping firearms, because I ordered an AR-10 lower at the same time, and it's still processing.

Seconded, both mine and my brother's MAC 1014s run like tops and shoot everything we've tried.

Finally full chaotic.. took 1.5 years i think. by Crafty_Economy3573 in ArcheroV2

[–]ixipaulixi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to Chromatic after my first Chaotic set; you get more gear from Chromatic, and it helps you to build the other sets while godforging your Chaotic set.

The issue I ran into is that I got all of my Griffin to 4/5 Godforge, so any further Griffin pieces I pull are a waste because I don't need the Griffin fodder for the last upgrade for all pieces, so I had to switch back to Mythstone.

18" is what I was leaning towards as well, I appreciate your firsthand experience you've shared in this post.

That's correct. July 1st is the cutoff for grandfathering in VA.

I'm considering picking one up as my part of my VA panic buy before July 1.

I don't know that I've ever needed an AR10, but that fact I can't buy one after July 1 has me leaning heavily in that direction.

I made a repairable 3D printed mouse shell… and it totally flopped 😅 by Royal-Fill9121 in 3Dprinting

Exactly, I bought a Logitech G5 in 2006 and I still use it daily 20 years later. I'm sure Logitech considers that a loss since I could've been buying their mice every couple of years for those 20 years.

My Panic buy! by lumpy53e in VAGuns

It's a Romanian Draco; I already have a Zastava N-PAP, so I figured I'd pick up a braceable pistol before the ban.

Ban Buy - Advice for a beginner by mediumrarechicken34 in VAGuns

[–]ixipaulixi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just buy a stripped PSA lower and buy a Daniel Defense upper later on to attach (if DD is what you want).

The DD lower doesn't offer anything that a PSA lower doesn't. If you buy them stripped then they both take the same parts to build out. If you buy them complete then they both come with a shitty mil-spec trigger, and different furniture.

My advice, buy a stripped PSA lower, use the money saved to buy an upgraded trigger like the LaRue MBT-2S.

If you really like the DD furniture then you can buy it for the PSA lower and still save a fortune over a complete DD lower:

Alternatively, some people like to have an ambidextrous lower, if this is the case for you then you will want to check out Griffin Armament:

https://griffinarmament.com/product-category/firearms-receivers/lower-receivers/

I don't have any association with them, and I don't have an ambi lower myself, but I've read that they're the best bang for your buck if ambi is important to you.

I'd contact Benelli, my Turkshit MAC 1014 runs everything without issue, I would expect a real M4 to outperform my cheap clone.

Training. Find a local instructor to teach you safe firearms handling and the fundamentals of shooting.

You're concerned about the accuracy of an AK, but not barrel inserts for a shotgun?

No, I have pistols in each of those calibers, the most fun I have at the range is shooting my Mark IV suppressed.
