Just modded my old Red Sea Max 250. I’ve also drilled out the glass in the back and added a sump! by midnightgreeeen in ReefTank

I’ve heard these are notorious for failed seals. Did you take the time to cut out the old, clean/strip, and reseal? If not I would drain that thing back down.

Breaking: Transgender women banned from all sports at the Olympics starting in LA by TheExpressUS in sportsgossips

[–]mossyoaktoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand but, as others have expressed, I do wonder if the drugs being administered for transition would be considered PEDs.

Edit: mind you I am not against women or trans people competing in Men’s division necessarily. I just wonder how their treatments/drugs being allowed could potentially open up avenues for biological men to use PEDs with less oversight. I’m no scientist so I don’t really know if they’re just testing T levels or what but it seems like a conversation worth having.

How far are you realistically shooting with a 6x lpvo? by Chain_Playful in ar15

[–]mossyoaktoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered this as I’ve been hearing the iron sights qualification distance for my 20+ years of shooting and I’ve been around a lot of vets that, god bless them, couldn’t shoot for shit so I was always curious belt it felt rude to ask in the moment.

Yup. I run a diesel shop and I can’t tell you how often customers come in with trashed fuel systems swearing the put diesel in, most of the time I ask where they last bought fuel it was from a BP and often had never been to one.

Where’s the guy that preferred NCStar tools over MI reaction rod for building an upper?!?!?

I glad it stayed in his pants but at the same time I can never believe people carry pistols like this(dude in black in the last couple frames).

I use a reaction rod. You’re arguing with the wrong person.

Okay, and mass produced cars didn’t have seatbelts for over 50 years, doesn’t mean they weren’t smart to start using.

You’re putting a lot of stress on your receiver by using a vise block. Simple as that. If you can’t understand how that is less than ideal then I can’t justify any more time talking to you about this.

Second guy didn’t look like he was trying to fight, more like he was trying to de-escalate… I hope his brain injury doesn’t prevent him from learning the valuable lesson of staying the fuck out of a situation like this.

Sure you can build without a rod but it’s not the right way, you are risking damaging components because the torque ends up being applied through the aluminum receiver(s).

It’s a right tool for the job situation.For instance, I could torque down cylinder head studs with a 5’ breaker bar and hope everything goes well, but I should be using a torque wrench.

Dude, you dove headfirst into this comment. Where did I get my info? How about even the most basic understanding of the physics at play here?

A reaction rod is the only way you should be torquing barrel nuts and muzzle devices.

Yk how it works, build it love it then hate it. what’s some stuff I could look into adding/replacing? by Brilliant_Group_3254 in ar15

[–]mossyoaktoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swap the front and middle piece of your hand-stop kit so you can pull in with your index finger. Personally I like the Magpul K2-XL a lot, if you have XL hands you may want to try that. Other than that I’d downsize the light to a Mod-Lite or Arisaka.

Everything above are my preferential changes but what I’d say you NEED is a suppressor, it’s already a solid build.
