In a foreign language so they never correct it

2020-05-12 19:10:25 UTC  

Hahaha

2020-05-12 19:19:42 UTC  

I wish I could afford Barrett x.x
Just watched daddy thumbs video on the newly adopted mrad

2020-05-12 19:20:35 UTC  

Had a bit of respect for them ever since they told California that they wouldn't sell to their police because technically they couldn't legally sell to criminals

2020-05-12 19:21:31 UTC  

Wish they made a wider variety of firearms.

2020-05-12 19:22:26 UTC  

They have a small and large frame ar, and a couple of bolt actions i think. Their mrad has interchangeable bolts and barrels though, so you can swap out what you want and re zero

2020-05-12 19:23:14 UTC  

I guess I'd rather see a handful of top tier guns than a bunch of mediocre ones with slight differences

2020-05-12 19:23:52 UTC  

I had difficulty finding their AR parts for a build.

2020-05-12 19:25:05 UTC  

I think they only sell pre built ar's but i could be wrong

2020-05-12 19:26:00 UTC  

Judging by their reputation with other guns, and the hefty pricetag on their di and piston ar's, it sounds like they're pretty high quality. I haven't read about them though

2020-05-12 19:27:40 UTC  

Hah apparently the r in rec7 stands for reliability.
I just want one of their bolt guns though

2020-05-12 19:35:13 UTC  

If you don't mind getting a Destructive Device license. There's the Anzio Ironworks 20mm anti-material rifle. Makes .50BMG look small.

2020-05-12 19:35:56 UTC  

Well... decided to take a look at the Rec7 just because... It's 2500 for the standard black Cerkote Carbine...

2020-05-12 19:36:15 UTC  

And for some reason, the lightweight version is 2200... it's cheaper?

2020-05-12 19:51:19 UTC  

Don't know why, granted the rec7 is piston driven so it's more expensive than the rec7 di, which will be even lighter than those two

2020-05-12 19:54:13 UTC  

Ah okay they only have the piston and di versions. The di is lighter, but also less expensive because it's not a piston gun

2020-05-12 20:00:09 UTC  

Yeah, but Piston is supposed to be even more reliable, right?

2020-05-12 20:20:56 UTC  

Supposedly yeah. It keeps gunk out of the receiver but it builds up in the gas block instead. I could be wrong but I think a lot of them blow gunk out of the gas block so while it's a pain to clean, it still functions

2020-05-12 20:36:28 UTC  

Go figure, ive got extra money right now... Looking at helmets.. Any tips, or finger points in the right direction are appreciated.

2020-05-12 20:58:55 UTC  

Unless you're taking classes that require a ballistic helmet for whatever reason, your best bet is a good quality bump helmet like team wendy, if you need to mount nods. If you don't need to mount nods or protect your head from bumping into shit due to your environment, no helmet

2020-05-12 21:02:13 UTC  

What kind of helmet would you recommend for posing in front of the mirror?

2020-05-12 21:02:50 UTC  

Definitely either team wendy or crye, both look pretty cool

2020-05-12 21:04:08 UTC  

Snazzy

Jokes aside I've got a team wendy bump helmet and its saved me from countless concussions. Very comfortable, well fitting, and protective.

2020-05-12 21:05:48 UTC  

Damn, 400-2500 for team wendy shit on ebay..

2020-05-12 21:06:45 UTC  

Back to banadanas, and boonie hats it is

2020-05-12 21:08:59 UTC  

Their story is pretty cool too, a bit sad.
Tldr the owner founded the company after his daughter died of traumatic brain injury from a skiing accident. He decided to make the best helmets possible after that.

2020-05-12 21:22:53 UTC  

What's up with the different finishes on BCGs?

What do different ones like phosphate, parkerized, and NiB do?

2020-05-12 21:24:53 UTC  

It's differing amounts of finish toughness. Gimme a sec, it's a google search away

2020-05-12 21:27:16 UTC  

I ask because I'm looking for less copy paste knowledge and more practical experience with them

2020-05-12 21:27:19 UTC  

Phosphate is tough and cost efficient. But harder to clean and requires more lube.
Black Nitride is basically better in every way but more expensive.
Nickle Boron is the best, also more expensive, and also shiny

2020-05-12 21:28:31 UTC  

My personal favorite is Black Nitride, it's tough, doesn't require as much lube as Phosphate, and doesn't have the shine of the Nickle Boron, which can give your position away better.

2020-05-12 21:33:01 UTC  

There are more kinds out there too, but those are the most common.

2020-05-12 21:38:32 UTC  

Okay, thanks

2020-05-12 21:43:17 UTC  

@Crye_Salesman I don’t remember at the moment the exact reasons but I was told by some SOTAR guys that NiB was discovered to be shite, do you know the reasoning?

2020-05-12 22:06:09 UTC  

Is making the change to a free float handguard vs delta ring worth a hundred bucks?

2020-05-12 22:13:13 UTC  

LITERALLY a night and day difference

2020-05-12 22:18:55 UTC  

It helps that much with accuracy?

2020-05-12 22:23:09 UTC  

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ NiB doesn’t retain lubricant like phosphate does, your rifle will shed lube much faster

2020-05-12 22:23:42 UTC  

And the slick carrier won’t actually run any better so, it’s actually less reliable over time

2020-05-12 23:13:48 UTC  

I just use nitride because it seems to be durable and very common
