Thermal is very good for hunting but NVGs are better for identifying your target

Thermal is great for detection

NV is identification

Plenty of hunters use a mix of both to identify animals at longer ranges or in foliage

sounds like a very heavy rifle. I could see doing something like that to a mounted weapon I guess, but I don't have much experience when it comes to that

@Artemis it would have to be a very purpose driven rifle

I've watched a bunch of tod Huey's hog hunting videos they use nods to navigate and thermals for their optics because a target is easier to ID with thermal than nods according to him

Thermal has its place, but TNVC has a full color adapter for pvs14s.

My mext big purchase will be a PVS 14 i live on a piece of rural property now our power went out from a tornado and I was sitting by my living room window wishing I had nods don't want to be there in a more strenuous situation

@Red [neck] tech hunting animals and military targets are different

especially when they'll be similarly equiped

Good point I took a class where we were moving aound at night couple guy had nods guy in the other group that was following us left his active IR on guys in our group that had them said it looked like we were being chased by a freight train

XD

would carry, ngl

I was never fond of how a glock looked honestly

I haven’t either but that’s legit

Only sidearm I’ve seen that I like is a Sig M17

I don't really like the look or feel of glocks but I respect them. Eventually I'd like to get one

Not a glock guy. Love my CZ

Definitely partial to my M&Ps. Have the shield 9, 40, and the M&P-15

So I was cleaning up my 3D glock print, and the fuckin trigger guard pops off. Thankfully when working with either PLA or PLA+, testers modeling cement is perfect, because it melts that material and welds it together stronger than it originally was. For those of you interested in printing some of your own parts.

Just JB weld that baby back together if it pops off again

Anyone know of anyone selling new Beretta ARX100 16" barrels? Normally I'd just go to, you know...beretta. But they're closed indefinitely because fuck Maryland.

Only ones I can find are 10".

I don’t believe I have a lead there.

Anyone have opinions on the Sig Sauer P320/M17? I bought one in December, don’t shoot it much, mainly just as my bedside gun

Bad quality control on early production runs, as is typical of Sig USA. And the M17 has a total ass trigger for some reason. Stock gen 5 glock trigger is miles better. But if you get one that's not broken from the factory, they're good and reliable.

Flannel daddy put out a good vid on them today

That was the M18, not the M17. And when it was manufactured makes a big ass difference with all Sig USA products.

Are there 80% handguns besides Glocks and Sig P320s? (Not including AR handguns)

Not really to my knowledge short of a CNC machine

P320 is okay. Buddy has one and fucked with the M17's. They're fine like anything if you train on it

Looking to build a 556 DMR. Any thoughts on Wylde barreled uppers between BCM and Aero? Is there an appreciable difference in accuracy potential between the two or is it a difference of QC or durability?

I prefer BCM

How far out you looking to shoot?

600ish max, not much point in slinging a 556 beyond that. My priority is consistent accuracy.

yeah tbh you should be fine then. really depends on barrel length and optics

both can hit a plate at that range but id trust bcm more

BCM is super nice. I also really like Aero though. Both are great quality

I'll be replacing the rail and getting it without a BCG, so the barrel accuracy potential is the only concern. It won't be a high round count, mag dumped rifle.

Going to shill Faxon tho
