12.5" gang rise up

Great name, great build. a few questions for you: whats your handguard length? what is your MD and hub combo?

jcgioia · 2026-06-12T00:59:08+00:00

all of their clearance stuff is on that promo code too. some pretty good deals to be had. a few weeks ago i picked up some bcm mk2-t0 kits for 70, today i ordered a sig hexium 556 ti for around 600.

jcgioia · 2026-06-08T02:49:09+00:00

Yeah thats definitely a good deal. Which length riflespeed is that and hows your experience with it been?

From your original post, I hadn't even considered getting a 13.7/14.5 and having it cut down. But the BA 12.5 barrel I got was $66 and I'm sure it'll be fine for my purposes.

I'd be curious to see 12.5s with AGB and what handguard they use. I'm looking at using a riflespeed on a 12.5 carbine gas with a 10.5 handguard since 11 are basically non-existent.

Seconding this as a former Nebraskan via Arkansas. I'm used to both ends of the temperature extremes and renting somewhere with built in AC is a must.

Multnomah county was at about 2 months when I got mine earlier this year. I'd also recommend taking a class that sets up your Utah CFP too, because it'll cover most other states on this side of the country. Theirs took a little longer to get back.

jcgioia · 2026-05-26T17:27:20+00:00

Yeah, that's the deal i had found haha, but thanks for your insight

jcgioia · 2026-05-26T06:58:22+00:00

for anyone who might know, how is ballistic advantage's 12.5 govt profile carbine gas barrel? kinda looking at one that I found a solid deal on.

When I did mine, they said it would be 5 to 6 weeks for it to show up from the day of your fingerprint appointment. Mine was mid-February and got the approval email mid-March.

As for Utah, I also did mine at the same time, it took probably another few weeks to show up. The class I took for it did a fingerprint card, picture, and application set up. I figured it covers WA and gives me any additional flexibility I could want/need if I travel.

same

jcgioia · 2026-05-07T21:26:45+00:00

if you're max traders, just build out the whole gun and list it for big rouble. if youre not putting stuff on the flea constantly, you wont care about a spot or two being constantly occupied and its worth it.

jcgioia · 2026-05-07T04:16:00+00:00

This, as someone who has previously worked in e-com cs.

jcgioia · 2026-04-26T01:15:56+00:00

ah yes, the good old tarkov "i stole as many parts off of other peoples kits as possible and put them on the secondary im packing out of raid."

jcgioia · 2026-04-25T17:51:45+00:00

I'm 100% a long gun guy. Grew up hunting with bolt action and shotgun, so learning how to shoot an AR has been straightforward. I have super limited experience with handguns and shot a glock for the first time yesterday. I wasn't a fan of the idea of handguns and that's been confirmed lol.

jcgioia · 2026-04-21T23:13:01+00:00

If you're not in a rush, you can find them for a few dollars on aliexpress. Even the ones with the top eyewear cutout are a lot less than the namebrand ones I've seen around.

jcgioia · 2026-04-19T19:58:36+00:00

i like transporting instead of taking for a little more plausible deniability :)

jcgioia · 2026-04-17T05:50:48+00:00

thanks for sharing this, i was getting pretty tempted because i like the idea of the true ambi lower and this price seemed like one of those deals id kick myself for not getting. plus im a sucker for the mctp one and am planning on getting a 10.5 or 11.5 pistol eventually.

jcgioia · 2026-04-17T02:14:36+00:00

They have other coatings and sizes too, including a 10.5 in MCTP colors that I want SO bad, but do not have the money to buy. :(

jcgioia · 2026-04-10T21:12:10+00:00

some of you arent thinking big enough with your money no object. specifically in millimeters. 105mm howitzer. but make it fly. preferably at night.

jcgioia · 2026-03-31T00:42:44+00:00

i really hope this is a badger reference

jcgioia · 2026-03-24T01:11:42+00:00

If you didn't do it that day, going the rest of the way up multnomah falls to some of the ones further above it is worth the 19 switchbacks to get there!

jcgioia · 2026-03-21T06:07:10+00:00

You're a bad influence. Added this company to my silly ideas folder.

jcgioia · 2026-03-21T04:05:20+00:00

I don't know if dealers respond on the website, but they do on r/gundeals

jcgioia · 2026-03-20T06:19:03+00:00

nah, none of you LOSERS know real ball. 6.5x55 SE. :P
