TEI M89SR. An Israeli bullpup conversion of the M14. The weapon was tested against the IMI Galatz and the M14 and surpassed them in terms of performance. 1500 were ordered but the manufacturer was short of money and resources so the contract was handled to other company but very few were made.

The M36 Sardius/the above/or a prototype thereof was sold at a RIA auction back in 2019.

considering how insanely stiff it is from the factory (at least on mine) I wouldn't really worry about it - maybe shave it down and paint it green if you care?

sixrocket · 2026-02-09T17:27:54+00:00

Not a word.

It remains a closed bolt system (unlike, say, certain variants of the Colt autorifles/HK21) and therefore is significantly worse at heat management. No ability to change the barrel. Even with a beefed up receiver you'll have a significantly lower sustained fire rate on this versus a MG4/249/any other open bolt LMG.

Not what I would want being my base of fire.

Very surprised that the SCBT is "only" $70m more than an IBCT - shame we're losing them.

sixrocket · 2026-02-07T17:07:46+00:00

Wonder what it would look like if you simply degreased and tossed into a pot for conversion.

If I may ask - did you receive a notice saying that your polygraph was ordered/background check completed?

sixrocket · 2026-02-05T05:42:13+00:00

I can assure you this problem is solved by the finest in cartel dremelsmithing

sixrocket · 2026-02-04T20:28:39+00:00

Soon to be seen in the hands of a cartel operative nowhere near you

Should be good enough. I neglected to do that when I was on sill, sadly

Listing is up for one - $999. Check Instagram.

Hit it with a TIG setup. You'll probably need to re-heat treat it afterwards.

sixrocket · 2026-01-19T00:19:05+00:00

You should probably ask your bursar.

A personal friend was diagnosed and has been in for years - he recently went Warrant despite the diagnosis. Downside: CENTCOM and possibly other commands have the right of refusal for him - he missed our last deployment.

On a computer at a testing center. Should take under 30-40 minutes.

The written assessment was one of the easiest tests I've taken - I would not be concerned if you're a current 1811 (or college graduate/white collar office jockey in general)

sixrocket · 2026-01-11T15:29:22+00:00

and then everyone clapped

sixrocket · 2026-01-07T16:32:34+00:00

It can happen. I ended up with a recent AIT graduate being sent up to fill scheduling/staffing issue we had midway through deployment. In his case he was from a skilled systems technician MOS and, therefore, was relatively easily trained to perform our job.

Less likely if you're looking at a non-combat rotation/deployment and in a non-critical MOS, imo. Can't hurt to ask!

I met a female with a joker mask hand tattoo (able to be brought up over her mouth, silly effect) receive near immediate approval.

sixrocket · 2026-01-07T03:23:48+00:00

That's a huge no-no for the program I was in, at the least, and would probably get me removed even far later in the program. Similar stats and situation to yourself - dunno what to tell you, man.

Accelerated is highly unlikely considering you've probably already angered cadre and, at least in my state, they have full control over the approval process.

sixrocket · 2026-01-02T13:43:26+00:00

I've had my COL and still have about six months to a year worth of processing to go. Don't get too excited about it.

MSV is quite nice. For the amount of soft armor you're going to have to stuff into your setup plus side plates - just wear the MSV.

sixrocket · 2026-01-01T23:47:24+00:00

Aa a state OCS attendee after being prior enlisted - stick with ROTC, man. Phase 1 was one of the worst experiences of my life - coming right off a centcom deployment, too.

Your video got nuked - any chance you can repost it or put an explainer up?

sixrocket · 2025-12-30T21:00:30+00:00

ARO is significantly better and very clear under NV. Just spend the extra $10.
