[long hinge]

@proud hazel I strongly suggest a geissele super 42 with an h2 or h3

They seem to last much longer.

[proud hazel]

tbh i swapped springs with the adm lower

jp polished

and i have an h2 in it

noveski h2 was the cheapest i could find too some how

[long hinge]

Good

[snow scarab]

huh

how tf

[proud hazel]

idk man it was $10

[snow scarab]

HUH

i hear noveske and i think big boi dollars

[proud hazel]

i guess a buffer is a buffer

[long hinge]

Keep an eye on your buffer spring basically is all I'm saying. And watch for fractures on your bolt head around the cam pin. Always install your cam pin the same way every time @proud hazel

[proud hazel]

i do that anyway

sotar moment

[long hinge]

Good good

[proud hazel]

what is the bootleg made of

[long hinge]

I don't know off hand.

I'd think 9310

PWS tends to use 9310

Bootleg is pws

So

Meep

[proud hazel]

it says s7 but i think thats the body

[long hinge]

Yeah.

[proud hazel]

yup its 9310

whats your preferred @long hinge

[long hinge]

@proud hazel 9310 can be good but requires more care, it's more common because it's easier to get it in small batches as I understand it.

Carpenter 158 is easier to work with but harder to get.

A good 9310 bolt is as good as a good Carpenter 158

But a cheap 9310 might be a dice roll, while a cheap 158 might be fine.

When made well they are functionally indistinguishable.

[proud hazel]

what is sharps reliabolt made of

[long hinge]

S7

[proud hazel]

based af

[long hinge]

Idk if I'd say that.

[proud hazel]

i would

stress cut

s7

hellyea

[long hinge]

@proud hazel tests done with the sharps bolts showed they lasted about on par with every other bolt, less than LMTs.

[proud hazel]

really

not what i would expect

do you have a source for these test

[long hinge]

S7 is really picky about its heat treat.

[proud hazel]

what is lmt made of

[long hinge]

I'm unsure. It's supposedly a secret?

[proud hazel]

figures

watch it be 158

[long hinge]

The traditional Carpenter 158 is abandoned, being replaced by a significantly tougher grade from a different manufacturer.

• LMT

The main thing is it's a stronger design

[proud hazel]

maybe i should buy an lmt

[long hinge]

It's an AerMet steel

Downside to that is it has to be hard chromed. Supposedly the base steel sucks at corrosion resistance.

[proud hazel]

interesting

does lmt make a 13,9

[long hinge]

@proud hazel also supposedly the relieved locking lugs will break more cleanly and can keep running with multiple damaged or missing lugs

[proud hazel]

sick

[long hinge]

No clue but I'm pretty sure they drop in.

[proud hazel]

what does

[long hinge]

The bcg

[proud hazel]

yea but lmt has good bolt, good barrel, great handgurad

gard

guard

[long hinge]

The enhanced bcg also increases dwell time BTW

[proud hazel]

that is hot

[long hinge]

Can help keep gas out of your mouth while supressed.

[proud hazel]

https://lmtdefense.com/product/mlr-upper-receiver/

this would give me an even stronger handguard then you

[long hinge]

I'm not sure you can get stronger.

Wedgelocks were already approaching monolithic, and Drive lock is even stronger.

[proud hazel]

well this is the only upper rated for grenade launchers with out a spring so

[long hinge]

Wedge lock handguards will hold zero with actual optics BTW @proud hazel

[proud hazel]

and the grenade launcher

[long hinge]

How does it mount?

[proud hazel]

good question

@mental siren

[long hinge]

Unless the bottom half comes off or it is referring to a pic mounted GL?

[proud hazel]

pretty sure it direct mounts but idk

i do think the bottom half comes off for barrel nut and what not

[long hinge]

Idk.

I'm not a big lmt guy

[proud hazel]

same but they do seem to make a good quality product just has qc issues

and to be fair they make so many guns for so many militaries

pretty crazy

[long hinge]

I'm debating on getting a lmt enhanced for my 13.9

[proud hazel]

they are like $469

and oos

or do you mean just the bolt head

that is 379 and oos

Picatinny adapters off the MLOK slots

LMTs are entire blocks of milled monolithic 7075-T6

The rail walls are also fairly thick

LMTs are about as strong as you can get, but it kind of gets into a conversation of diminished returns

Boyfriend dropped off the trunk of his truck onto his LMT MWS upper

He also landed on concrete, he's 6'4", bulked up, and was in his carrier and bag

Hardly anything happened to it

He just filled in the scratches and it's good as new

It's a really neat setup

[snow scarab]

like on purpose??

[worthy heart]

FINALLY

HAHAHAHAH

[snow scarab]

[stuck hazel]

I would presume not

[worthy heart]

Now I can give the rmr back

@coarse laurel @plush topaz @raw river my civilian bought IFAK came with a whopping 2 feet of quikclot 😂

[plush topaz]

You could save the entire Ukrainian army

[snow scarab]

lmfao

[coarse laurel]

Bruh it’s supposed to be that long

[snow scarab]

is it??

[coarse laurel]

Please tell me you didn’t open the package

[snow scarab]

i thought if was a giant fuckin roll

[snow scarab]

no i didn’t

[coarse laurel]

No

[snow scarab]

what am i thinking of that’s a huge roll of shit

[coarse laurel]

Do you know how to use it?

[snow scarab]

ik how to use the gauze you just stuff wounds with

thought this was the same

[coarse laurel]

So you know this thing will literally be inside said bullethole

[snow scarab]

yes

[coarse laurel]

Like deep

[snow scarab]

nothing has been opened or touched

was just looking through it

so what am i thinking of then?

[granite tartan]

Have you ever packaged gauze before

[snow scarab]

i’ve packed gauze on a pig before for training. that shit was a big roll tho

it was from an IFAK, i could just be completely misremembering how big the roll was

ah ik what i’m thinking of. i’m thinking of the big rolls in CLS bags

i’m fucking dumb

[plush topaz]

@snow scarab its the same as packing tampons which you're familiar with

[snow scarab]

accidentally watching that shit happen is fucking nasty

[granite tartan]

Is that a thing

[plush topaz]

Yes.

[timber fog]

Sadly

[coarse laurel]

the whole tampon thing pisses me off

it doesnt work

it absorbs blood but it doesnt help give enough pressure to stop bleeding

[plush topaz]

I wasn’t talking about using it for first aid….

[snow scarab]

works for bloody noses, that’s about it

@wind cave

[wind cave]

nicee

that's 2.0?

[snow scarab]

i switched around the radio pouch

[snow scarab]

SPC

[wind cave]

should i not get this instead of jpc?

[snow scarab]

you could, but it’s going to be a pain in the dick to put together and is only useful if you are gonna load it up

like i have that giant ass ifak and i’m adding side plates too it so i need the structural aspect

[mental siren]

Accident

[mossy tartan]

Plate carrier with stuff vs chest rig on top on minimal plate carrier

I’m leaning towards the chest rig for versatility

[snow scarab]

as a placard or standalone?

cause that can get pretty uncomfy

[mossy tartan]

Stand-alone rig

I feel like I can manage

I don’t want to run plates all of the time but I’ll always want to run a rig

[misty mango]

get a rig that can take plates then

[snow scarab]

not many made anymore

[misty mango]

or use a placard

just take it off and use the straps

[misty mango]

doesnt mayflower make one?

[snow scarab]

maybe

i might get a mayflower rig to run with an MSV if i ever get issued one

Wtf is that shape

[worthy heart]

It's pretty normal ngl

That's how suppressors look on the inside

[snow scarab]

how the fuck

what is that

[worthy heart]

It's a suppressor

I just don't know how they did that

[twin creek]

I mean the actual shape of it

[snow scarab]

you can tell me that’s how suppressor actually look inside

[worthy heart]

I just don't know how they did the whole right angle bend

I'm pretty impressed

I might actually message the company to get the backstory behind it

[stark light]

Uh was it intended

Or strain on the material and heat caused it to change its initial shape?

Nahhh bros dogs are decrepit

[plush topaz]

Whoever those belong to are way too big for their feet. Look at how tight he has them 😂

[wind cave]

bro your feet are hilarious

tf you making an onlyfans feet pic pose for

ohk theyre not yours lmaoo good

[wind cave]

look at any location in china on google maps

because of data laws there, every location in china on public gps software is scrambled

all the roads are fake, go through buildings, its actually kinda amazing

[plush topaz]

Seems that way due to the angle of the sattelites photo. The buildings are crooked

[wind cave]

no, lol

it's an actual law and data law

it happens with all gps data in china

even geotags on pictures

[plush topaz]

Google maps actually doesn't even work there

So it's the best estimate

[wind cave]

i can't tell if this is bait or not. but from your statement, you have no idea what you're talking about

no

[plush topaz]

?

[wind cave]

you're just wrong.

[plush topaz]

Bait? It's well known google maps doesn't work in China lol

[wind cave]

it's not about google maps

it's all use of gps, it's controlled heavily

[plush topaz]

I know.

I said google maps.

[wind cave]

but why

[plush topaz]

And you said that's wrong and bait lmao

When it's true

[wind cave]

but this isn't true at all

that's completely incorrect

i dont get why you wanna argue about this

[plush topaz]

It is. Happens on other maps as well. It's annoying. Extra annoying in China where it's just outright false

I'm not arguing. You are.

[wind cave]

But that's just not true. Lmao that's not the reason

[plush topaz]

I didn't say it was.

[wind cave]

Ok then i'll stop

you just said "it is"

[plush topaz]

I just commented on the bad angle

[wind cave]

damn, what's the point in debating things that're clearly findable facts

[plush topaz]

Combined with china's data laws

[wind cave]

ok bro

sure

[plush topaz]

I didn't debate. I added to your point.

You're out here arms swinging for no reason

[wind cave]

But you're wrong

The satellites are not in incorrect positions

That's not "part of the reason with data laws"

You're just wrong

[plush topaz]

They are that's why the buildings are crooked. It's very common

[wind cave]

It's completely a man-made thing and decision

No, it's not.

You're wrong. it's ok to be wrong

[plush topaz]

Makes navigating annoying using that view in some places

[wind cave]

Sure

[plush topaz]

But in China it's irrelevant

[plush topaz]

@wind cave Israel is super blurry on maps. It's so annoying and so useless since you can use other free satelite companies for images

[long hinge]

@calm stone found heat gun, but huxwrx no send muzzle device so I can't do nothing anyway. But it looks cool so far.

[calm stone]

yeyee

[long hinge]

I'm just gonna assemble it and put a brace on it @calm stone

Till the flash hider gets here.

ITS STILL LEGAL.

[calm stone]

it is

Its not gonna be illegal anyways tbh

[long hinge]

Probably not

This is mostly for show.

I don't want my only home defense option to be a questionably legal AR pistol

I don't wanna be the test case.

@calm stone I'm never buying a non-magpul dust cover again.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/437979957105262593/1074042531718889472/20230210_182716.mp4

Seems silly but this is perfect.

[calm stone]

meh, dust covers are a joke to install anyways

I just stick with a tapered pin steel

or ig technically stepped pin

[long hinge]

@calm stone it's still a steel pin, the only difference is it has a captured spring and the right hand side of the spring articulates. The spring has a polymer leg on it that let's you grab it.

[calm stone]

yeah Im familiar

[long hinge]

It works like any old dust door but if your spring wears out you don't have to remove your handguard/rip off the c clip and pull it out the back with pliers.

[calm stone]

its a copy of SI's?

[long hinge]

No.

[calm stone]

I forgot who made it originally

[long hinge]

It's totally different from SIs

For one thing it's actually good.

[calm stone]

kek

[long hinge]

Is the word fuck banned

On the SI you still have to mess around with the spring.

@calm stone anyway, on the magpul it's this leg

It's like the SI design except they didn't half ass it or overcomplicate it with adjustable detents.

[calm stone]

yee

[proud hazel]

um excuse me this is a gear server. i am going to need to some plate carriers or something

[low fox]

What’s wrong with 5.11?

[snow scarab]

extremely meh quality

most of what they make suck

[low fox]

Those pants have worked well for years, 10/10 would recommend them

[plush topaz]

@snow scarab 5.11 clothes for every day use are legit

Contractors on leave from Iraq would always ask me to cop for them

[granite tartan]

Very cool Kanye thanks

@snow scarab

38 degree and raining save me

[snow scarab]

[granite tartan]

You guys use bnvdSG

[granite tartan]

I like the Wendy

They don’t have any support for nods tho which is annoying

[granite tartan]

There is no brow support

So the helmet will dip under weight

@snow scarab

I did it

[snow scarab]

nice

micro or micro plus?

[granite tartan]

Micro essentials

It was $116

[snow scarab]

nice

[granite tartan]

Going to load it up with my medical supplies

I have chest seals

[snow scarab]

i’m probably going to get the micro and throw shears, chest seal, and gauze in it

and maybe an israeli in it

[granite tartan]

Israeli is good

[snow scarab]

israeli bandage is probably one of the most useful equipment you can use

[stuck hazel]

Israeli bandage is simply fool proof

And effective to boot

[snow scarab]

PRO will give you more of the shit you’d actually need

[granite tartan]

Build your own and get the plus

These only compact chest seals

Or Fanny pack riz

[snow scarab]

i’m gonna put my shears back on my TRMP actually

[low fox]

Tf does that even mean lol

[granite tartan]

i dont like the MTKN at all

[snow scarab]

MTKN?

what that

[granite tartan]

BFG pouch

[snow scarab]

why not?

[granite tartan]

It’s literally just too small

[snow scarab]

is it the micro or the micro plus?

it’s only designed for a few things

[granite tartan]

Micro

And it’s fat lol

[snow scarab]

what all you got shoved in it?

cause you need to add an IFAK to your PC i feel

[granite tartan]

im going to do a fanny pack

[snow scarab]

the surplus gen ii ones are nice

[granite tartan]

im going to carry a fanny pack

and put a booboo kit in it

[snow scarab]

doing that with my dangler

my guy do you even have any TQs on your JPC?

[granite tartan]

No cause i run a PAQ

Pack

i might put a SOF-T on it

[snow scarab]

a pack doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have easily accessible TQs

i’ll be having two

one on belt, one in TQ pouch

[granite tartan]

The TQ murder the shit outta my shoulder straps

[snow scarab]

what

how

it weighs like 6 ounces

[granite tartan]

The hook velcro?

[snow scarab]

covered TQ pouch

problem solved

what’s the benefit of the SOF-T anyways?

[granite tartan]

Doesnt get caughtt on velcro

Carpet

Easier to put on legs

[snow scarab]

is it essentially the same thing?

[granite tartan]

No

@snow scarab Instead of feeding it throgh a track it clips on

Its dank

[snow scarab]

hm

interesting

[raw river]

@obsidian wolf how are RMA 1155? seen ballistics tests and they can handle about 5-6 shots of mixed 30-06 and 855a1

only downside is theyre heavier than more expensive plates

[snow scarab]

they are fine if you need budget armor

[snow scarab]

I really don’t need an ir illuminator

On my helmet

[snow scarab]

the surefire lights for the helmet are supposed to be really good

one of my sgts ran one on a deployment, said he loved it

[raw river]

Don't you have one on your gun

[stuck hazel]

pen light on PC does the job better IMO

less shit on your head the better

[granite tartan]

Yeah

I voted not to do an IR light

[misty mango]

why not just strap a red/white head light to your plate carrier

[wind cave]

shovl you excited for the chiefs?

[snow scarab]

[low fox]

@snow scarab wdym

[snow scarab]

are you looking for something for airsoft

[low fox]

Yes

[snow scarab]

or for actual firearms

then ask in airsoft

[low fox]

Irl gear is airsoft no?

[snow scarab]

no

the airsoft channel is airsoft

this is for real steel stuff

[low fox]

@low fox toxic but sure buddy

[snow scarab]

don’t be a bitch boy

[granite tartan]

^

[raw river]

@granite tartan @snow scarab

[granite tartan]

that looks awful

[raw river]

Fits pretty well actually

Or do u mean my bathroom

[granite tartan]

that plate carrier

[raw river]

Better than the shell back I was issued

[granite tartan]

Double stackeed ar pouches

[raw river]

They aren't that bad to draw from I'll bring it when I bring my radio

Also I'd rather have 7 mags to 4

[granite tartan]

Bruh

@raw river Try to lay down

[raw river]

It's where I naturally rest my elbows lol

@low fox it ain't illegal to run in a carrier with loaded mags in a neighborhood is it

Maybe I should run some drills too

Live ammo

[stuck hazel]

BTEC 6094 is BTEC 6094

[raw river]

What

[stuck hazel]

do you not know what BTEC is

offbrand

[raw river]

It's LBX 0300

@snow scarab and @obsidian wolf recommended it

[stuck hazel]

LBX isnt shit

[snow scarab]

i did not

i just said it’s not airshit

[stuck hazel]

its just not as good as LBT

how much did you pay for it

[raw river]

Wait u recommended the mag pouches nvm

Like 109

It doesn't even have plastic inserts

Ik how to sew I'm just lazy

[stuck hazel]

109 isn’t actually that bad

Why spend 100 when you could get the HRT two band for 50

Fair

[snow scarab]

or the AXL

[misty mango]

LBT posting

[stuck hazel]

Nah that shits LBX posting

[misty mango]

or LBX in this case

(poor mans LBT)

[stuck hazel]

LBT posting

[raw river]

Now let's see paul allen's plate carrier

[verbal karma]

Mayflower > LBT

also before anyone makes fun of the knife it's a task knife not a "fighting knife" and it is where it is because that was a super out of the way and convenient place to stuff it

[storm peak]

Where antenna for radio

[stuck hazel]

Not real radio

Real radio yet to come

[stuck hazel]

Just not true

[storm peak]

Well may I suggest cattail antennas, it works wonderfully for my 152 at work

[stuck hazel]

New LBT carriers>

[stuck hazel]

Il check them out

[verbal karma]

IDK man Velsys/Mayflower has been consistently cranking out good stuff for years and LBT has kinda gone the way of the meme/influencer recently

I'd def take my LWPC over anything LBX

[stuck hazel]

Oh yeah a hundred percent

[verbal karma]

and the 6094 is dinosaur tech at this point

[stuck hazel]

It’s not bad enough to disregard the brand by any means

[stuck hazel]

How so

[verbal karma]

just a much older design

[stuck hazel]

The original 6094 design, sure

[verbal karma]

that's what I said yes

[stuck hazel]

I still like the 6094 cut which makes it more comfortable than most carriers; and the admin pouch on the 6094A is very nice

[verbal karma]

Oh right there's different variants now

[stuck hazel]

Many

[verbal karma]

They don't even list the words "6094" on their site anymore

[stuck hazel]

Nope, gotta look at the item code

[verbal karma]

Still all pretty old designs tbh

[stuck hazel]

I don’t know what about them makes them obsolete

[verbal karma]

Nothing wrong with them though

But imo tubes or QR of some form is practically required

I’ll never go back to velcro only lol

[stuck hazel]

If you’re going to be working with water, sure

[verbal karma]

Or just in general

[stuck hazel]

Tubes don’t have to be built into the plate carrier too

[verbal karma]

Yea I’m aware

[stuck hazel]

So it’s a none issue then

[verbal karma]

I’m running a replacement cumberbund on my LWPC that has buckles

[stuck hazel]

I still don’t know how I feel about swimmer cut plates

[snow scarab]

crye posting

[stuck hazel]

But structural plate carriers are tight

[snow scarab]

ong

[stuck hazel]

Yeah it makes sense

[stuck hazel]

It has an application and il never doubt that they fulfill it

[verbal karma]

The pull tabs get stuck in behind the placard to keep them from moving or snagging

[misty mango]

are you really a friend if you havent yoinked your mates QD's at one point?

thats why me and my friends moved away from QD's

plus we dont fuck with water so its gucci

average LARPers

[verbal karma]

Yoinking it wouldn’t actually pop the cumberbund off

[snow scarab]

😂😂😂😂

[verbal karma]

it's kinda like tubes in that sense

[snow scarab]

ROC or taktic?

[onyx jolt]

The MK3 in Tarkov is based on the Tasmanian Tiger MK2 right?

[snow scarab]

everything is it’s real name

[onyx jolt]

Oh you’re right
