But just in case get .223 wylde

2020-05-23 22:06:17 UTC  

That was the plan

2020-05-23 22:18:12 UTC  

I have been told that 223 wylde is more of a marketing thing than anything

2020-05-23 22:18:56 UTC  

Enlighten me lol

2020-05-23 22:30:59 UTC  

Basically handles 5.56 pressure while providing the tolerance of .223 which aids in accuracy

2020-05-23 22:31:24 UTC  

Not sure how much accuracy, but there’s no downside to it so basically everyone is switching to it

2020-05-23 22:38:23 UTC  

Okay I just had several people tell me it was a way to get people to buy shit they didn't really need. But your explanation does make sense. I should try to see for myself how much it helps accuracy

2020-05-23 22:39:12 UTC  

If you are building a new rifle .223 wylde is preferred but you don't exactly *need* to upgrade all of your barrels

2020-05-23 22:39:27 UTC  

All my rifles that shoot 223/556 are stamped on the barrel with 5.56 even if the reciever says 223

2020-05-23 22:40:58 UTC  

Which the rumour is our government is hesitant to allow rifles with 556 stamped on the reciever to be non restricted. All the Tavors I have handled say 223 on the reciever but have 556 on the barrel

2020-05-23 22:41:26 UTC  

I'm just curious to see how much it can improve accuracy

2020-05-23 22:42:19 UTC  

Hell my HK SL8-4 has 223 rem on the reciever but 556 on the barrel also lol

2020-05-23 23:10:49 UTC  

5.56 and 223 have different sized chamberings. The 223 chamber has a shorter distance before it engages rifling, and when you fire the higher pressured 5.56 through it, it can create dangerous pressure spikes. On the other hand, firing 223 out of a 5.56 chamber, which it's not designed for, means that the round has to travel further before engaging rifling, it causes diminished accuracy. The point of a 223 wylde chamber is that it's somewhere between these two chambers, being long enough not to cause pressure issues with 5.56, but short enough to still be accurate when shooting the cheaper 223 cartridges.

2020-05-24 00:31:45 UTC  

Yeah I get that I'm just curious now how much can it improve accuracy

2020-05-24 00:32:16 UTC  

I know the whole dont fire 556 in a 223 only gun

2020-05-24 00:33:18 UTC  

IWI says the Tavor is designed for 556 and they just stamp 223 on the reciever to make it easier to export

2020-05-24 00:42:33 UTC  

It's not so much that 223 wylde improves accuracy, but firing 223 through a 556 chambering reduces accuracy

2020-05-24 00:47:12 UTC  

I just wanna know why so many competition barrels are made in 223 wylde

2020-05-24 00:53:11 UTC  

For the exact reasons allready mentioned

2020-05-24 01:01:51 UTC  

Many people who do competition go through tons of ammo, and 223 is cheaper than 5.56, so it adds up after a few thousand rounds

2020-05-24 01:49:33 UTC  

So it's just cheapening practice for them

2020-05-24 02:06:52 UTC  

Does anyone know where I can get an M70 MLOK lower Handguard?

2020-05-24 02:16:01 UTC  

This what you're looking for?

2020-05-24 02:16:10 UTC  

Midwest industries makes mlok for practically everything

2020-05-24 02:21:33 UTC  

Not a flame thrower

2020-05-24 02:55:34 UTC  

Patriot Prodder?

2020-05-24 03:08:18 UTC  

Yeah but I'm looking for JUST the lower Handguard. I've found one but they're $100

2020-05-24 03:09:40 UTC  

idk if it's any good but

2020-05-24 03:15:50 UTC  

Yeah that's the exact one but it was on Khyber

2020-05-24 03:18:14 UTC  

Out of stock or else I would've snatched it up for $85.99

2020-05-24 06:06:44 UTC  

Whoaaaah. I just learned about kiln guns. They're giant mounted shotguns used to blast buildup off of kilns

2020-05-24 06:07:04 UTC  

Modern ones are 8 gauge but there's ones as big as 3 bore

2020-05-24 06:17:27 UTC  

Yeah, Industrial Shotguns, I want one mounted on an armored truck

Made a thing focusing on realistic first line gear

Graphics are good. Advice is solid, although basic

2020-05-24 21:48:25 UTC  

I didn't want to clutter it. It's more directed towards people who think they're gonna kit out all the time, and certainly doesn't have everything I carry, or what someone else should carry.
In facebook, I had a more detailed post about how mission drives gear, this is first line, and most people's mission is to get home alive.

2020-05-24 21:48:26 UTC  

I think that is something good for now, people don't have FLIR stuff and don't want to stick out with hawaiian
