Oh sweet

Dont spread it around, dont want it blowing up

looks like the coupon doesn't work even for the keymod one

Damn

may have been single use

Idk, they were passing em out at a training event a while back

I havent used it

Ahh okay. Probably expired then. Usually those will last a month or so

So, if I have a rifle length gas system, can I use a heavy carbine length buffer

Buffer weight is a bandaid for overgassed systems. Proper gassing depends on a few factors such as gas port size, barrel length, and gas system length. The two ways to properly fix the issue is to either have a properly sized gas port, or a quality adjustable gas block. Either one should be paired with a standard weight buffer.

@Potatoes O'Reilly bcm gunfighter

if i had to guess its the mod 3

i really like mine its really grippy and the egros are great

opening the door on it is a 2 handed job tho its really stiff

none of my lgs carry anything bcm

but what can you do

ya most lgs dont carry bcm wich is a bummer

but any more they are never even in stock so what can a guy do

ya they normally still dont which sucks

I've got one with a bcm mod 3 grip on it. The grip angle is slightly more vertical than the magpul moe grip. The top part is slightly skinnier but it has more of a palm swell than the moe. The moe is blockier feeling while the mod 3 is a bit more rounded, and not quite as long from the butt to muzzle direction. The moe has a grippier texture but the mod 3 is more ergonomic.

The mod3 also has a swinging door with a removable rubber insert while the moe just has a removable bottom. The mod3 has a shelf that extends over the trigger guard to keep your finger from rubbing against the gap between a normal grip and the trigger guard

Overall I'd say I prefer the bcm as it's more conducive to squared off shooting as the grip is even more vertical than the magpul, and a good bit more ergonomic. It's also slightly heavier though, and not nearly as grippy. Your hand won't slip off of either, but I'd say the magpul lends itself better to gloved shooting than the bcm

Magpul is basically the new a2 grip. It does its job well with no frills, and most people who shoot on a two way range and have a choice pick it because it's what everyone else uses

Can't go wrong with one but you may find ones you like better

Grips are an area up entirely to user, the only rules to go by are a straighter grip is more comfortable in a squared off stance and a more angled one makes a bladed stance easier

As a meaty boi myself I find an A2 grip horrendously narrow

If the magpul moe feels too small for you, the bcm mod3 will definitely feel too small. Not as thin as a2, but slightly smaller than the moe

As far as I know not many companies make a good thicc grip

Grab all the other pieces of an AR.

And you can always bubba it up with some grip tape or something.

Or something else. Maybe you can even carve out a big fat wood one, ha ha.

Academy sports carries magpul products. They're probably out of stock, but you can try to see how well it fits your hand if they have it.

Basically everything gun related is sold out around me

>tfw I got briefly excited at a pawn shop with a Ruger AR pistol >it was chambered in .350 Legend

Good thing you missed it then, ruger ar's are garbo

I mean, I'm still debating on whether or not to run up a Sig Rattler build or if I should locate some alternative.

Ruger makes okay rimfire and precision rifles but their ar's are bad and their centerfire pistols are horrible

They make some pretty decent rimfire competition pistols though

Gotcha. Can you elaborate on why they're bad?

Poor quality. They break during classes very often

Personal experience as a user or an instructor?

Or a fellow student?

Watching at least one ruger, Taurus, and Springfield fail at every class I've attended if there's a decent number of people. Usually it's fixable but sometimes it's not. When it's a revolver, they're usually shit out of luck.

*when your Taurus revolver jams and you can't open the cylinder because there's a case lodged in it* What? Impossible, revolvers can't jam!

I've heard plenty about Taurus, but not much about Ruger or Springfield.

At least in terms of guns consistently failing.

Like, sure, Springfield's a cuck and whatnot, but still.

I'm pretty sure Taurus makes their guns for the market of their home country

that being something you can probably get a few bullets out of before having to dump it in the local body of water

for a good price

Good to go: Glock H&K Sig CZ M&P Walther Probably a few others I'm missing depending on the model

Nope.

I'm hearing nice things about one of their semi-autos, but that's about it.

And I can't tell if it's the usual "I fired three magazines in one year, I'm an expert now" kinda guys, or if it's legit.

Taurus makes cheap guns that brazilian gangsters can do a hit with before throwing it away

Also gotta remember that you can't trust "gun guys" and gun store clerks. They might be a decent shot but they've never studied firearms or gotten their guns in dirt, mud, or sand.

bro i shoot in desert dirt

*"I love my Springfield XD that I carry in a SERPA. 69,000 rounds without a single failure. Haven't even cleaned it."*

shits gets in fucking every thing

If anyone says "works for me," run

imagine thinking that any roller delayed blowback guns would be good every day guns

hold up they are nice actions

oh they're sexy guns

hell ya they are

dirty af tho

they also tend to be complex guns

yes they are

but for the most pary reliable too

and if one of the little pieces breaks during any time you can't get it fixed you have a club

I think the mp5 is a sexy gun, just not something I would want to have as my every day carry

that is a large af carry bud

Used to have a ptr91. It was pretty fun. Actually very simple to disassemble and wouldn't quit, but it's also a 1.5 moa 308 and weighs 9 pounds so...

its bad on that point alone

not as in a carry in this setting

i have a ptr91 and i love it

i a am going to take it on a hog hunt corona permitting in florida next year

but like those people who say they would use it as their only gun during some sort of engagement or survival situation

It would be serviceable. Not optimal but not obsolescent, as long as you've got the manual of arms down.

it's better then nothing

It's a lot better than nothing, that's for sure.

but honestly if I was forced to have one gun I would choose a direct blowback

Now surviving with just a bolt action is pretty iffy

the roller delay blowback is pretty solid

bolt action is solid but slow af it really depends on how you are going to survive

Depending on the situation I'd either pick a good ar15, or a glock and a good kydex holster if you're not allowed to just tote a rifle around

I'm sure some people would still go into battle with a garbage rod

I mean mosin

they would maybe fire once before getting slotted, but A for effort

They're basically obsolete except for very specific situations, in which case they're precision long range guns. Mosins aren't sniper rifles, they fire about minute of ups truck

i have a p80 and an ar pistol i would use

infantry bolt actions only are effective if you're in a fireing line with them

so obsolete

oh, and only if your enemy is doing the same

Yeah lol

Firing line, meet CAS

Brrrrrt

Bolt-action is better than nothing... but to compare it with any modern semi-auto rifle, you'd have to be a tard.

the power of the mosin came from there being endless waves of russians on a battle field weilding them
