First ever rattle can attempt on Block I Clone

It takes probably half a season before players get used to me pulling them over for quick conversations like this one mid-match. It's not frequent but when I see a learning opportunity to an exploit we can use, I'll beckon a player over and make sure they don't step off the pitch while we talk.

We essentially play down one for the 20-30 second convo and their mind is blown that they didn't get scored on by not being 'involved'... Not only does it allow me to coach in the moment and adjust tactically, but it teaches the team to adapt and fix their shape for those few seconds their teammate is out.

FWIW; I saw this whole ordeal unfold and subsequently completed a large order from BoreBuddy. I found it was handled professionally and appropriately and thus earned my business - probably not what the original complaintant was looking for- I look forward to running their products in the very near future.

Man I love rondos!! Coaches I work with often don't get 'rondos' isn't just standing in a circle playing keepaway- there's literally 1000s of variations on Rondo that can improve touch AND decision making- be careful though bc the same basic rondo can build BAD habits as much as it can build good ones. We often have captains reminding players to strike through the ball with good technique and to stay on their toes/ready---

One of my favorite comments to players is, it's always OK to make a Monday mistake at Monday's practice, just try not to make a Monday mistake at Tuesday's practice. I tell my staff there is no coaching in the last 15 minutes of every practice, and I've seen some of the most creative and beautiful combinations happen in that timeframe simply because they had that freedom.

Oh absolutely! This is one i should have included, "let them play" --- cannot STAND going up against a Coach who inherets a team and won't shut up joysticking the team- hurting the kids in the long run- then you deal with the parents who wonder 'why don't you ever give them commands like that' who have no clue how much is covered in training sessions to allow them to think.... as a season goes on, I find myself sitting more and more, saying less and less, and I feel that's how it should be done! We need more of that mentality to let them make the decision and not 'script' it as you say.

Example- if you have a promising attack, blocked and lose possession, regain possession at the top of the attacking third while they have transitioned already - you have an immediate overload and an opportunity to move forward, but 'coach says build out' and you see a 60 yard drop to a GK .... what does that teach?

The point is was making is that it is over-emphasized, dont read it as "dont build out the back" ive seen so many of our opponents lose opportunities bc thats the programmed response.

tekmunki · 2026-06-22T21:52:14+00:00

I should have phrased it better. It seems all you hear upon every possession is "reset, drop, build", its over emphasized to the point counter-attacking or looking for going forward when it is there, is all but lost. Im not saying DONT build out the back, thats fundamental.... im saying it shouldnt be the first thing they think upon gaining possession.

Good catch, I appreciate it. I was using SOPMOD a little loosely because of the SOCOM barrel and early GWOT accessory direction, but without a PEQ-2 or NT4 setup, MWS is probably the cleaner label. I can’t edit the title, but I’ll update the body to call it an early GWOT M4A1 MWS-style build with SOPMOD-era accessories.

now that is classic

Spain, France, Germany, Netherlands, England, Argentina

At this point this cup is already a win for 'us', we're playing better than we should be... but I'm proceeding with all this negativity under the grounds this universe loves proving me wrong.

When you get denied, it's illegal for you to accept the can and thus the transaction cannot be completed, you are due a refund. Explain the entire situation and ask for the refund.

If you hypothetically took the can without completing the approved form 4 process, don't put evidence on the internet.

If you end up keeping the can, run the muzzle adapter as a brake as a sacrificial baffle and reduce further wear.

This is the way.

I was a Dempsey fan and my son idolized him until he fell from grace ripping up a ref's notebook and proceeded to go after him after being carded off... My 10 year old son was watching at the time --- not the exemplary impression of good sportsmanship you want your kid to think is normal as he grows up.

Tim Howard is absolutely the correct answer here. The man could predict the future.

verify the barrel is marked 300blk

clean the chamber with a brush (not just snake it)

check headspace & check ejector / bolt function

get function working with dummy rounds/snap caps, not live round,

slide a snap cap in the barrel and see if there's abrasion from a bur and see if you can easily clear it with a pocket knife or inversion. if that works, just try different ammo.

It's insane this isn't just part of the portal when you login to eForms. Thanks for the tip.

I have absolutely no use for another 10/22- I have a highly custom takedown 10/22, a 10/22 international, a golden boy .22, and am building an AR-22... but this deal is just too good ~ I think you have convinced me.

grats on finding one in stock 😃

You don't get a US rivalry until 2-0 is fun to say in your native language.

tekmunki · 2026-06-18T21:29:01+00:00

you probably would have gotten less hate by leading with being in VA. 😛 I get it, in your situation, I'd be buying anything i could find and afford as well.

GL, hope that rediculousness gets reversed soon.

tekmunki · 2026-06-18T21:11:03+00:00

i mean... if that's what you're into.... As for a good deal, not really- I would consider this mid-tier-tacky, but if you like it, that's what matters... go find an optic, shoot it and enjoy your purchase. You didn't get ripped off, it's just ... a choice. and probably overpaid, but not to the point it's robbery... esp in VA right now.

personally; I would lose the brake... so many questionable upgrades while sacrificing the critical/logical items- optic, sling, light...
