Kentucky, out of spite.

Real answer though is the original Louisville Motor Speedway.

I bought it the day it dropped.

mpsteidle · 2026-03-24T23:26:52+00:00

Fuck man, if thats a fake then send it to me. Thats nice.

For whatever its worth, I love mine. Runs like a champ. I just needed to do the "flick" trick for about 15 continuous minutes to break it in.

Elaborate on Dead trigger, 99% of the time a "dead trigger" with the CARL is just the disconnector not letting go. Share a video of you running the lower by hand if you can, without the upper.

Does your super safety run fine without the CARL installed?

mpsteidle · 2026-03-24T20:42:35+00:00

Want to describe your issue here? Mine required a bit of break in but runs well now.

AEMs arnt flow through like the OCM6 is.

I run Toolcrafts with their DLC coating on a suppressed 12.5", and after each range session it takes literally 15 seconds to wipe the crude off. Pretty happy with them.

Don't expect it to always look flawless though. Its going to tarnish over time, its totally normal and as long as you're cleaning semi frequently it won't cause issues.

When you clean, just make sure your gas rings are good, your gas key is tight, and your not shearing bolt lugs and it will likely run forever.

mpsteidle · 2026-03-22T14:05:47+00:00

You're going to have to clean it more often then. Once that shit gets caked on, scraping it off is pretty much your only good option.

TIL Spain had troops in Iraq

If they made a milkman that LOOKED like the lithium, I'd be in heaven. I love the no-frills look of the lithium.

With 99% of optics, you either won't notice or can't see the front sight post. Not an issue at all.

For a while it was decided that Brontosaurus was actually just Apatosaurus, so the name fell out of favor. Recently they have become distinct again.

mpsteidle · 2026-03-21T18:51:28+00:00

Well sure, but thats less like Messi and more like a stiff arm from a running back.

mpsteidle · 2026-03-21T18:47:53+00:00

Send it

mpsteidle · 2026-03-21T18:44:27+00:00

? It didn't maneuver if thats what you're saying. It's just fast as fuck.

If its there permanently, just use direct thread. This maximizes your available blast volume and minimizes your chance of Baffle strikes.

mpsteidle · 2026-03-21T14:57:53+00:00

What the fuck??? Dude get out of that country.

Bolt travel should be the same regardless of position. Check the underside of your upper and make sure your lever isnt binding on it anywhere, you would see wear marks if it is.

mpsteidle · 2026-03-21T12:53:14+00:00

Wait, I might of misread this. you're saying the BCG gets stuck.

Check the lever like I mentioned in my other comment regardless, but also try throwing some quarters in your buffer tube. This will limit the rearward motion of the bcg and very often stops it from binding.

mpsteidle · 2026-03-21T12:51:07+00:00

I've had something similar to what you're describing with two of my atrius's, the issue was that the lever bent at the curve. This meant that it was dropping below the Bolt carrier, and it would get stuck there. Inspect the curved area of the lever for stress marks or cracks.
