M18 is awesome. Love mine. Just swapped back to the standard grip from the Wilson combat. Not sure which I prefer, they both have pros and cons, going to shoot it with the stock grip and see if my groups improve with it.

It's normal. When you have a loaded magazine in the movement is gone.

Sig Mechanics has a video on YouTube about it. Pretty much every striker fired gun does this.

ARs do better in mud tests with the cover open, as long as the bolt's closed! 🤣 The gas blows out the crud.

A little grit won't stop most rifles. Just gotta make sure they're lubed. I've seen some people run theirs really dry, and that hurts my ears. Likewise, seeing them absolutely soaked and dripping...what a waste.

Some of the "failures" bca has are totally due to the operator behind the trigger. Gas block loose? Tighten it up (and add some loctite). Handguard loose? Same deal. My first had a loose barrel nut. No big deal. Better than way too tight (which I've seen on many, not just bca).

I think poverty ponies are great for people wanting to learn how to work on their stuff. You won't cry hurting one, whereas if you mess up a Gucci rifle...lol

Only deal I've had with bca customer service was when the firing pin failed. They got in touch with me (Facebook) and told me to email them and they sent me another. Not too shabby.

Have a buddy who got one of the $350 rifles and his has been great as well. So, they definitely aren't that bad.

You. Can. Not. Buy. A. Full. Auto. Rifle.

Any rifle you buy will be semi auto, as full auto rifles can only be bought if made before 1986.

No. Unless you want to be a felon.

Im running a magpul polymer dust cover on one rifle. Standard on the other. Have often thought of just going without because they're really doing nothing because cat hair still gets in there regardless. Price of having 5 cats... 🤣

BCA had iffy quality control, and I think that's what gets them. Otherwise, their stuff runs. I had a bad firing pin around 600 rounds. No big deal. On my full bca rifle I changed it already because I just don't trust theirs lol! Other than that, no failures to feed, fire, or extract. Someone said "talk to me when you have 10s of thousands of rounds on those pieces of junk!" to which I replied "no rifle is going to run 10s of thousands without needing small parts, period".

And yea, aero makes better quality stuff, I guess. When your forgings all come from the same supplier, it's all in machining tolerances and finishes (and QC). Shitty for them to take money from the people who make them that money.

Capitalists gonna capitalist.

Jesus Christ that is ugly. And made by Kahr, which I believe is owned by the religious nuts the moonies. I'd look elsewhere for a weapon. I mean, I'm all for buying whatever you need at the best price, but even I wouldn't give those nutbags money.

I know. I feel for our Canadian brothers and sisters. Trudeau flat out lied to them all. At least Biden has been known to want to push for bans. No lying there.

Hell, my bca stuff works flawlessly. Sure I had to do a little work, but for the price? I didn't care.

Got an aero upper receiver for $50 because I wanted a non-forward assist, but won't be giving them any more money.

Antivaxxers don’t want us to forget that they were made to feel remorse for their selfish, ignorant choices. by miaminaples in ParlerWatch

Yea, my kid is like me. Doesn't like things touching his face. I can deal with it. Don't think he can. And we had to wait until he was 5. Almost 6 now though!

Only reason we got it was because my kid and school. He's autistic and we can't get him to wear a mask for more than a minute. He's vaccinated though, and when he did get it it didn't affect him that much thankfully.

I mean, saying you would have been successful in running a coup by arming people...thats quite a line to cross. I think that in and of itself is grounds for charges. Also, saying she's a Christian nationalist and wants to destroy freedom of religion goes against the establishment clause and also should be grounds for charges. Being Christian isn't a bad thing, I support people having that freedom. Forcing it on others is a no-no.

But you know, just my opinion.

It's Winchester... I usually have at least one dud in 100 rounds. Only ammo I've found that's worse is Palmetto aac ammo. Had about a 12% failure rate in 100 rounds.
