Yes

#

But also that’s only army

Not a single other branch is doing the 6.8 swap

Because the caliber was decided in the 60’s

Yes

Thats what I said

If the weapons to destroy those devices surpass the device thats called obsolescence

#

Look at horse cavalry

Or chariots

If they surpass tanks at their intended role then yes tanks would be obsolete

#

The argument of "oh look at Ukraine look how easy it is to destroy tanks, tanks must be obsolete" is a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of tanks and is standing on very shaky evidence

Tanks are very great

# lunar marsh Stalemate offense on small scale, not widespread operations on large fronts

The British were disappointed that Foch operated through his own staff rather than through the Permanent Military Representatives at Versailles, and on 11 July 1918 British ministers resolved to remind Foch that he was an Allied, and not a French, C-in-C.[41] The Allies (mainly French and the growing American forces) counterattacked at the Second Battle of the Marne in July 1918. On 6 August 1918, Foch was made a Marshal of France. Along with the British commander, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, Foch planned the Grand Offensive, opening on 26 September 1918, which led to the defeat of Germany.

going to be getting a geisselle SSP and maritime bolt catch tomorrow

#

wonder if
im making the right picks here

#

I’ve used quite a few geissele triggers and I’ve liked them all more than the drop ins I’ve used

#

Maritime bolt catch my beloved

jaunty crane
#

awesome

jaunty crane
#

what im reallly wondering is
do I need to remove my safety and fire selector to get my old trigger out and put the geissele in?

I have the ssp, it’s great, and might even require a slightly weird install where you put the trigger, safety then hammer in place in that order

I’ve used just about every one of their 2 stage triggers though

SSP is peak

#

Feels like a much cleaner and lighter mil spec

The jakl is kind of heavy to begin with though.

Guys help there’s gas everywhere and in my right eye

#

Also before anyone says just adjust the gas, Daniel Defense and their wisdom decided not to put an adjustable gas block on a rifle that was made to shoot a very picky cartridge for some reason

round sentinel
#

Get a better gas sealing or venting charging handle

#

Iirc maxim makes the rubber sealing suppressor charging handle but I forgor off hand who it was for sure

placid basin
#

I think that’s SilencerCo but I’ve heard that rubber seal will just fall off overtime

round sentinel
#

Yeah, it will. But it’s worth it for such a niche use tbf

#

You can just add a new one easily anyways

mint helm
placid basin
#

It said low back pressure 🥺

#

they lied to me

#

How could they

round sentinel
#

That is low backpressure

placid basin
#

Oh god

round sentinel
#

Yeah I get gassed out super hard with one of my older cans

placid basin
#

can’t believe my first choice for this rifle was the Surefire 300SPS

#

if I went with that I think I actually wouldn’t be able to breathe

round sentinel
#

My griffin A2S tho, actual peak

#

It only really gasses out on the IAR because uh, yeah IAR moment

#

Even the short bullpup I don’t notice it at all

placid basin
#

I’ll wait to see if the guy with the .300 Spear LT will do the trade this Friday, if not then I’ll actually put some money and effort into making this gun fun to shoot

round sentinel
#

This is better than a spear LT

placid basin
#

I’ll be delusional for one more weak

#

either way seems like I’m gonna get gassed out every 5 rounds

round sentinel
#

Yeah, 300’s are a weird balance of finding a load that works well and doesn’t gas you out Kek

placid basin
#

Seems like the 2 best I’ve found so far are S&B and Magtech

round sentinel
#

Ive had good luck with hornady subs in my XCR

#

Other ones have gassed me out hard

placid basin
#

wouldn’t cycle

#

It would extract but it wouldnt cycle the next round

#

basically making it a bolt action

round sentinel
#

😭

placid basin
#

The 190gr Sub-X cycles fine though

round sentinel
#

Federal hydra shok also worked well for me

placid basin
#

If for whatever reason i wanna use my long ass .300 Blackout for home defense ig that’s an option

placid basin
#

The top 3 I see people use for 300 subs is Winchester super suppressed, Magtech, and S&B

#

So that’s what I bought to test

round sentinel
#

Fair fair

placid basin
#

I’ll prob bulk buy the Magtech cause i can get it for 70 cents a round

#

But I’ll still be open to trying other ammos

How do we feel about the streamlight protac light for a rifle

Pretty sure the PTR vent is just a traditional baffle stack, but with some wacky porous titanium. Not an actual flow through.

placid basin
#

but still def better then a solid welded can

mint helm
#

And I heard that porous titanium is also like impossible to clean

placid basin
#

ill just have to do some tinkering

#

we will see

#

ive only put a little over a hundred rounds through this can so far

mint helm
#

In your video are those subs or supers?

placid basin
#

subs

mint helm
#

Oh Jesus Christ, that's atrocious.

#

That's like as bad as those OCL budget cans.

#

that are notoriously gassy.

placid basin
#

like i said if i had an adjustable gas block the first thing i wouldve done is turn it down

#

but DD being DD they gave me a fixed one

mint helm
#

Unironically, I have a sico 300 thats traditional baffle stack, and it's not that nasty.

placid basin
#

i think DD just made the gun super gassy on purpose tbh

#

with supers it recoils pretty hard

mint helm
#

You should be able to find the gas port size.

#

Or check if the gun will run a sub unsuppressed. If it will, it's way overgassed.

placid basin
#

i havent checked sub unsuppressed

#

but supers unsuppressed the fire rate is pretty high

#

Go pop one in your backyard.

What complaints you got for it then 👀

ordered the SSP and bolt catch (and a punch set)
now I just need to get the light I want and the rifle is finished

#

This is the closest ive ever been to PSA…no complaints but I also still consider it Nodak Spud product lol

round sentinel
# thin cypress What complaints you got for it then 👀

Ignoring the woes of being PSA. The charging handle slider is super weak and breaks constantly. The gas system doesnt make for a good long stroke, for reliability nor accuracy. The trunnion mounting interface is also super poor and only consists of what, two screws iirc

#

theoretically they would be great, because a bufferless long stroke upper is def appealing, but the jakl aint it

#

solution, ARAK-21

solution:save up like 150 more bucks its not like you have a timer to get the gun

Are you 3d printing it? Which components will be metal?

round sentinel

receiver and all is meant to be printed, laser cut metal inserts, transfer bars etc, once I get to it

How much different would it be if you injection molded versus 3d printing?

round sentinel

diff design techniques for sure but, wayyyy too damn expensive lmao

iron peak
#

Im in the camp where I feel like 3d printing still feels cheap 😬

round sentinel

it is

#

I really only use printing to protoype

like my L22 handguard set lmao, thats just a proto while we await for the first batch to be made

iron peak

Have you actually made any of your designs?

round sentinel

yeah

iron peak

Which ones?

round sentinel

mostly small parts, but I got that handguard set on a contract for commercial sale already

Got any pics?

Which is a double edged issue lmao

Really meaty grenade textured handle

It’s nice af to use. Just protrudes a lot

I have one of the fal para handle conversions on it now

iron peak

def

iron peak
#

Very positive, easy to use in a fast paced scenario

round sentinel
#

the texture is super nice, and none of the other handles you can get for the XCR come close in terms of usability

#

the only issue is her width tho, which sucked with gear or slung digging into you

#

even the factory one wasnt nice for that tho

Don't think pipe bomb is accurate for high point. Maybe an instrument for blunt force trauma.

High point ironically holds up and functions better than psa

When it’s genuine pot metal

I've just never seen/heard of one catastrophically failing. I've heard plenty of parts breaking, but nothing beyond that.

For high point?

Optic I plan to do more research into. Otherwise my plan was to slap irons on it till I decide what do.

speaking of optics

how garbage are the pso 1s

In context of what? When it was developed or present day?

They weren’t amazing for the era, but the Russians were good at producing high volumes of optics early on in that shift in mentality

does this even work

modest hatch
# misty cove id sya when it was made

It did a lot good for what it was. Integrated range finding, an illuminated reticle (tho it required replacing over time), tho they were designed for use on the SVD and it did great for that as it was calibrated for 7.62x54r, but anything else you would have recalibrate or make do

misty cove
modest hatch
#

I think those were modified mosin scopes

#

Otherwise I don't recall anything like a PSO being made for use on the sks

misty cove
#

i guess maybe they didnt

#

can u still zero em to 7.62x39 tho

"At least four variations, all experimental, were developed by Simonov between 1945 and 1953. The first was a semiautomatic sniper carbine which used the Soviet PU scope in an offset, low mount attached to the right side of the receiver. [snip] None of these experimental designs were adopted."
