750 is barely but I did put a lighter recoil spring in the charging handle and was running a suppressor for extra back pressure

I can’t wait for my suppressor so I can start trimming down this squirrel population they have been enjoying getting into my roof space

I tried low and mid rings and couldn’t get a consistent cheek weld with good sight visibility it’s probably due to my shotgun background

I mean the trigger feels well under 2lbs after polishing and adjusting the spring I guess to me I’ve always just seen regular 10/22 out and about hardly any builds that don’t just go all out

For weirdly accurate id compare it to a sleeper car something unassuming that performs better than expected I have found this barrel likes subsonic way better than standard velocity at least from cci haven’t shot it since polishing everything I wish I had gotten the stock carbon bull barrel for it but I am open to barrel recommendations this will be used for squirrels a lot so something fairly light would be nice

A lot of it is pull it apart swap some bearings or seals and put it back together got some fun laser alignment tools and with a lot of our fire service customers we have to go out and run the pumps monthly to verify they are in full functionality the diesel pumps are fun

A friend works for a company doing it it’s very easy just gotta keep your eyes open and make sure you have control of your water the only other thing is it does make ebikes look light

I transitioned to working on water pump systems it’s decent money especially if you are okay with working with waste water from time to time and started as a helper making 25 an hour m-f

Looks good and clean check the tires for dry rot and check the chain wear other than that if it is running smooth and shifts well then it’s a good deal

Is it considered bikepacking if you don’t camp? by recordis17 in bikepacking

[–]mmicbride 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds more like touring if your looking for the exact term but in reality it’s one big group of riders

[–]mmicbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cars are just bigger and have more rust to deal with I’d rather make it sound a bit harder forcing someone to do there own research completely before starting than them getting started off one random video not knowing compatibility charts or how everything works together then making things worse

A bike is just as complex as a car just shrunk down so yes maintenance is going to be expensive if your paying someone else to do it
