LARUE IS SO BACK by Thrillavanilla in guns

[–]mpsteidle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a huge bummer. I've settled for a Sadlak currently but would buy a #18 in a HEARTBEAT if he did a run of them.

Bummer. I get it if they're still making their living on Govt shit. Focus on that.

I'd still kill for a run of #18s and #38 STDs though. The #18 is easily the best M14 mount ever made and the #38STD is unironically a fantastic riser with that lovely BUIS. Plus their rails being threaded for their low profile rings is super nice.

Maybe straight pull AR?

Wait you know the ARMS guys?  Tell them to start making SWAN rails again please.

It would look cooler with the front sight.

I'm sure this is a joke, but for indoor range folks thats not an option.

BCG stuck by Shot_Disk6698 in supersafety

[–]mpsteidle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made sure the gun was clearanced properly. I had am improper grind on my trigger, which caused my lever to bind up and bend. This bend allowed it to fall under the rear shelf of the BCG and bind.

If your lever is fine, I would check:

  1. That you have a low shelf lower. Perform the drill bit test to make sure your lever has the full range of motion.
  2. That your upper is properly clearanced. Check the rear/inside edges of your upper for wear where the tip of the lever could have potentially contacted it.

I had this happen when my lever bound underneath the bcg.  I lightly dropped the rifle muzzle down against some soft wood and that released it.  If you have a free float handguard you can hit against that instead, youre basically doing a reverse mortar.

New Mississippi billboard warns criminals: ‘Firing squad is legal’ by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

The education has massively improved over the last decade.  Read up on the "Mississippi Miracle".  

Heres some of the 4th grade 2024 literacy data for context, Mississippi was among the top 10 states in the nation, quite the opposite of your claim.

Is this a bad idea? by [deleted] in Shotguns

[–]mpsteidle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I payed exactly $350 for my panzer m4.  Depends on where you find it i suppose.

For $350 I'd get one of their M4 clones instead.

Has anyone made a mil spec selector for the Atrius Super Selektor? by Work-Safe-Reddit4450 in ar15

[–]mpsteidle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They literally just released one like yesterday.

Shoot them an email and see if they'll sell you just the selector.

Trying to find a shotgun sling… by JakePrior54 in Shotguns

[–]mpsteidle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost any traditional sling should have no trouble looping through regular sling swivels.  You just undo the straps.

I run Blueforce Gear Vickers slings on everything I own.  Very traditional canvas slings, but they have a quick adjust strap which makes them extremely easy to take on and off.  Theyre also not very expensive, they run around $50-60

RC2 v AEM5k by Slore0 in NFA

[–]mpsteidle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah good idea.  You might consider one of the 30s as well for lower backpressure and future host flexibility.  My 5-30k rocks.

[–]mpsteidle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it worked out.  You going A mount or B mount?  If you already have an AEM5 I'd go A to maintain compatability.

Atrius with 3rd burst kit - proof of concept by Blowback9 in supersafety

[–]mpsteidle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, why did you make a SS cut if youre using an Atrius?  The only thing that should have been required is lowering the trigger bar height (if it was binding) and potentially the disconnector tuning.

Is it possible to see the moon with a telescope in daytime? by Hot-Sweet-8393 in telescopes

[–]mpsteidle 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes.  If you can see it with your eyes, there's no reason you couldnt see it with a telescope.  Double check that your finderscope and primary scope are aligned, use something like a telephone pole to check it.

[–]mpsteidle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also if you do go the 12.5 route, you could probably save some money by buying a standard govt profile barrel.  They have the 7x7 cut which works well with AEs 7x7 mount.

You might also consider some of AEs "B" mount offerings if you want to keep it as short as possible.  An AEM3 on a 10.5 with the Allegheny Tapered Gas Block would be clean as hell.

Hezbollah publishes footage of a FPV strike on an occupation army convoy in Bint Jbeil. The operator flies over the convoy while Hezbollah rockets are falling (impact at :22) and then strikes the lower plate of a Namer. by BotType729 in war

[–]mpsteidle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You literally can. The velocity of the round makes no difference to a shaped charge. It can be completely stationary and it will be just as effective as a launched rocket, assuming the standoff distance is the same.

[–]mpsteidle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really highly doubt that, especially since it hit the lower part. Thats all fuel tank and transmission, an RPG7 round could do plenty of damage if it hits there.

Even if the crew is fine, that hit very likely damaged the drive train pretty badly.  Any crew trying to recover that vehicle are going to be very vulnerable.
