In a foreign language so they never correct it
Hahaha
I wish I could afford Barrett x.x
Just watched daddy thumbs video on the newly adopted mrad
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
Wish they made a wider variety of firearms.
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
I guess I'd rather see a handful of top tier guns than a bunch of mediocre ones with slight differences
I had difficulty finding their AR parts for a build.
I think they only sell pre built ar's but i could be wrong
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
Hah apparently the r in rec7 stands for reliability.
I just want one of their bolt guns though
If you don't mind getting a Destructive Device license. There's the Anzio Ironworks 20mm anti-material rifle. Makes .50BMG look small.
Well... decided to take a look at the Rec7 just because... It's 2500 for the standard black Cerkote Carbine...
And for some reason, the lightweight version is 2200... it's cheaper?
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
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
Yeah, but Piston is supposed to be even more reliable, right?
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
Go figure, ive got extra money right now... Looking at helmets.. Any tips, or finger points in the right direction are appreciated.
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
Definitely either team wendy or crye, both look pretty cool
Snazzy
Jokes aside I've got a team wendy bump helmet and its saved me from countless concussions. Very comfortable, well fitting, and protective.
Damn, 400-2500 for team wendy shit on ebay..
Back to banadanas, and boonie hats it is
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.
What's up with the different finishes on BCGs?
What do different ones like phosphate, parkerized, and NiB do?
It's differing amounts of finish toughness. Gimme a sec, it's a google search away
I ask because I'm looking for less copy paste knowledge and more practical experience with them
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
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.
There are more kinds out there too, but those are the most common.
Okay, thanks
@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?
Is making the change to a free float handguard vs delta ring worth a hundred bucks?
LITERALLY a night and day difference
It helps that much with accuracy?
@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ NiB doesn’t retain lubricant like phosphate does, your rifle will shed lube much faster
And the slick carrier won’t actually run any better so, it’s actually less reliable over time
I just use nitride because it seems to be durable and very common
