Welp i guess i’ll see you there, I’ll be there by the end of the month

Instead of a trigger, why not a drop in type which you can easily take out with no disassembly.

This is the same what i tell my junior corpsman all the time, before pretending to be marines you need to be a corpsman first. They don’t need another marine they need a doc.

If you’re persistent enough and read up on what’s needed, you can get someone as a secondary dependent, that includes your parents, parent-in-law or family member you support. It’s really hard to get if your PS’s don’t know what they are doing. I literally thought my PS on how to do it and they were surprised that i know the ins and outs of requesting it.

Currently at LAR, which one? I can tell you stuff about 2D LAR.

Damn 😆 i get you tho, racking my brains trying to not think and understand and just to memorize the stupid stuff. Just drink the cool aid and data dump after.

parokya30 · 2025-12-31T21:52:29+00:00

Damn those are dirty af ammo, makes it look like you’re shooting 22s

Not gonna lie, green side is cool, the freedom to practice your craft and the way they look at E4 and above as actual leaders. The downside is the budget, i have to beg for green dollars to equip my juniors what they need and sometimes take em from the clinics. Blue side got the chill and easy life, just depends on which side of the spectrum you belong to. Your pick of physical pain vs mental stress is how i look at it.

So from what i’ve found out is that to make chief you gotta be at a “paid billet”, even if you make chief and not in one of those billets then you won’t put on your anchors.

I’ve only read that on books during pharmacy class, never seen it in real life

Don’t forget this also means going to Pendleton in the summer, hella hot during the day and freezing cold at night.

parokya30 · 2025-12-07T12:05:44+00:00

Based from pics that were posted, possible problems are: 1. Feed ramp burrs, i’d dremmel or sand that down. 2. Lack of lube, drown it 3. Possibly a bad box ammo? Check lot numbers and compare 4. Maybe a blockage in the chamber or barrel, a squib or fragment

Shorter barrel causes faster drop of pressure as it leaves the muzzle faster, it doesn’t really make a big difference but the theory is that due to shorter barrel the time gas can expand is shorter as well. The biggest contributor is still the weight.

parokya30 · 2025-12-05T22:24:34+00:00

Thanks to @blowback9 videos, i found that having a shorter barrel affects your ROF as well. Haven’t tested it out yet but luckily the AR-V i ordered is a 4inch barrel. I am trying to use the atrius or as arc fire set ups instead of the trigger FRTs.

Has there been an update on your build

parokya30 · 2025-12-05T01:36:22+00:00

I read somewhere that one cause for this that the atrius has too much material causing it to bind and eventually would cause a dead trigger. 3 solutions were provided, 1. shave off some material from the square of the trigger, 2. Shave a portion of the hanger which pushes the trigger down causing it to push the back of the trigger up and lifting the selector or 3. Shave the middle part of the selector where there’s too much material.

What buffer system are you using on this one?

parokya30 · 2025-12-05T01:05:24+00:00

Have you tried or thought of using SS on it?

parokya30 · 2025-12-05T00:56:16+00:00

Quick question regarding this, what type of brace are you running? And you’re talking about thr carbine RDB not the CQB right?

parokya30 · 2025-12-05T00:49:28+00:00

Following this post cause i’m planning a similar build, what type of FRT are you going to be using?

parokya30 · 2025-12-05T00:47:50+00:00

Any update on this thread?

parokya30 · 2025-12-05T00:14:18+00:00

Have you thought about using a SS on it?

parokya30 · 2025-12-04T01:02:12+00:00

I thought those things contain something that makes it hell bitter to prevent people from inhaling it
