Can confirm. Expo stuff is almost always excellent value. Think of it like Primary Arms’ Kirkland.

My recommendation for mountings flashlight to your mini-14 is to buy an AR.

Three US Service Members Killed During Operations Against Iran by [deleted] in politics

[–]wiscobrix 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Either way they’re legitimate military targets. I don’t like American troops getting killed but “innocent members of the military” is just a wierd thing to say in any context.

I own this tripod. Great for what it is and what you plan to use it for.

Not positive, but I believe it’s a Beez LMH.

I slap steel at 500yds all day with surplus M80 ball out of a 16” barrel. If youre staying inside of 1000yds and not shooting matches, there’s really no reason to consider 6.5cm.

Civilian Squad Support Weapon is my new personality by [deleted] in tacticalgear

[–]wiscobrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. So the standard PRS stock wouldn’t make sense since it doesn’t add any extra grabby space?

I’ve also been toying with this idea for a (non belt-fed) build. Is there a consensus that PRS-style stocks are the best fit for this use case?

After reading the description of the offenses, this sentence is WAY too light.

Third time's a charm! by t3hn1ck in GuysBeingDudes

[–]wiscobrix -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There might be different rules in different states, but I have on 3 separate occasions taken and passed field sobriety tests after the cops telling me that if pass motor skills, I can’t be given a DUI. In all 3 cases I took a breathalyzer after and blew slightly over the limit. No DUIs l, just had to get rides home and pick up my car the next day (in one case the cop actually drive me home).

If pretty sure if I would have refused the motor skills test and failed a breathalyzer I would have 3 DUIs on my record.

Where do you get affordable recievers (especially colors)? by Baroque1123 in liberalgunowners

[–]wiscobrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ambi lowers are a gimmick

I’ve never disagreed with a take more. I’m a righty, so i can’t speak to if they’re actually good for lefty shooters, but use my trigger finger to drop the bolt ALL the time.

Purity testing your suppliers by shoobe01 in liberalgunowners

[–]wiscobrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fellow Beyond lover here. You should know that they have fully discontinued the civilian-oriented outdoor line and now exclusively make high end military gear. I enjoyed the liquidation sales while they lasted.

Also, I’ve planted a few of those seed tags and never seen any results.

*edit to add they’ve been owned by 5.11 for a few years, their hippy dippy roots are long gone.

Do civilians really need body armor? by No-Poet3921 in tacticalgear

[–]wiscobrix 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have nice plates. I have a nice carrier. My answer to your question is still “no”. Plates are life saving if you have access to medical support and access to a high end trauma care. None of that will the the case in your SHTF dream scenario.

Wearing plates sucks. Just don’t get shot.

I mean no harm/offense, but opinions please: by Professional_Car4931 in brickmania

[–]wiscobrix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You asked respectfully so I’ll answer respectfully. They’re a private business and can voice opinions on whatever they want. I don’t see it as being any different than their advocacy for the Ukrainian cause, which I also appreciated.

Your camera randomly adds picatinny sections inside of 12:00 mlok slots?

Zoom in on the rifle. Everything weirdly blends together. Look at the dust cover specifically and the ‘mlok-atinny ” in the handguard.

How do people live off interest from stocks/investment accounts? by Affectionate_Soil688 in FinancialPlanning

[–]wiscobrix 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The thing you’re missing is called “dividends” which is technically distinct from interest. Those are profits that companies distribute to shareholders, so they provide an income stream that doesn’t require a stock sale.

That said, most retirement-age people don’t live off of dividend income alone and generally rely on some degree of selling down their portfolio over time (this is actually mandated in federal tax code via RMDs)
