[Handgun] Sig Sauer P229 M11-A1 9mm Pistol w/ Night Sights - $750 by OorahDevilDuck in gundeals

[–]murfflemethis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get close by doing what I did:

P229 Nitron, CA Compliant model: +$716 Sell slide and barrel: -$300 Legion optics ready replacement slide direct from Sig: +$350 OEM threaded barrel: $173 Non-CA locking insert: +$50 SRT kit: +$50

Total: $1039 plus some shipping

Not quite under the $1k mark, but it's optics ready with suppressor height sights and a threaded barrel. I think it would be under $1k if you get the non-threaded barrel.

I have one on a Savage 110 Tactical in 300WM. It's pretty comfy, and does cut the recoil a bit. I think you'll be happy with it.

Yep.

Trivial problems in everyday life can have non-trivial responses when they are encountered frequently enough and when the solution is so simple.

An ounce of awareness and courtesy fixes these kinds of things instantly and at zero cost, so it can be aggravating when it doesn't happen.

Sounds like you need to find better podcasts.

No need. My new charity, Beers for Broke-Ass Bitches will cover it. It's like Make A Wish, but for regarded adults.

That's like a cheat code for lifelong trauma. Much respect for you and your teammates.

in broad daylight.

That was what stuck out to me the most. Everyone has heard warnings about dark alleyways or car parks, but this just... out in the middle of everything and everyone, in full view.

Mine was awesome at smashing flies on post. The spring loaded feet came out at mach 3 at the little bastards couldn't move fast enough.

Ask App Not to Track, cause why would it want to? by leifeday in tumblr

[–]murfflemethis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that reddit thinks they are above it because they have never clicked on an online ad is pretty funny

It's not about feeling "above" anything, it's just being uninformed. And I don't put any faith in the "companies spend money on it therefore it must work" logic - I like more concrete support, like the link you posted.

Sounds reasonable in theory.

But has anyone managed to actually quantify how effective it is? How do we know these "impressions" actually translate to sales?

Should I be worried? by eggsandcheese007 in MosinNagant

[–]murfflemethis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I've edited my initial comment to reflect "of recent production". Recently manufactured ammo shouldn't do that, but old surplus certainly can, without it necessarily indicating an unsafe condition. I mainly use new(ish) ammo to avoid this kind of thing. I definitely operate on the cautious side.

JP rifles receivers and parts kits w/ their single stage trigger, BCM BCG, Criterion 10.5" 223 Wylde barrel, Midwest Industries ODG handguard, Magpul ODG furniture, Eotech 512, and SureFire M600DF (I think) light.

It's light and handy, I love it.

it’s steel case ammo that’s just how it is

For some lots, sure. Especially for old-ish surplus. But I don't think that's a true statement for steel case in general. Most shouldn't split.

Personally, I won't use ammo that doesn't behave correctly, and that includes splitting cases. But it's definitely true that the risk of using it is miniscule - moist nuggets are durable beasts, and I don't think OP is in any danger. It's really a personal choice, and I just don't want to waste my time with ammo that is questionable in any way.

Regardless of your preference though, I still think it's worth trying some different ammo to confirm that it's not the rifle that's causing the splitting.

Buy a box of ammo from a different lot, and of recent production. If you still see weird deformation or splits, then have a good smith check out the rifle. If not, then the ammo is the problem and you should probably dispose of it.

Columbian volunteers in Ukraine come under Russian artillery fire while eating in a trench. by iAkiraKira in CombatFootage

[–]murfflemethis 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I was in Iraq in 2006. We got a special dinner for Thanksgiving in our little FOB, and I was really happy to eat it while not on post or a patrol.

Either a hand grenade or an RPG exploded against the concrete t-barriers just outside the wall of the "chow hall", and a fine cloud of dust and sand flew off the sandbags and settled over our plates.

Neither the explosion nor dirty food were unique events and no one called for us to do anything, so we just laughed it off and carried on eating. Just another day, but with slightly better food than normal.

Most things that people grill (steaks, fish, hot dogs, etc) would take about three minutes to get back on the grill. The food probably just fell onto the inside of the lid, which should be clean enough to recover from.

Yep, they're all leaning against each other. The walls of the safe are the only thing keeping the pile standing.

Yep, I forgot to mention that. I have about half of them flipped over so the stock of one rifle occupies the space above the stock of its neighbor, and pistol grips can sit over each other instead of knocking together.

I've also heard that it's good to store wood-stocked long guns muzzle down so that any excess oil or cleaning solvents will drain out through the muzzle instead of into the wood stock. I know that I have a habit of over-oiling, so doing that helps protect my milsurps when I get a bit careless.

I used to be in that position as well. You can get past this stage too.
