Misc Firearms Crew LXXXII: Stamp Collecting Brandon Style...Bracing for Ultra Amnesty

[BulkingIsHard]

idk much about thermal so correct me if I'm thinking wrong, but looks like 640 base mag is 2x, and 384 is 3x. If both could be digital zoomed to 6x actual (3x vs 2x base) it's 213 vs 192. Not sure that's a $3400 vs $2400 difference.

Interesting, I thought they both had same magnification. My thought was that the 640 has about twice the resolution so the picture is twice as clear. But the difference in optical magnification complicates things.

The 640 on 1.5x digital zoom (I know it can’t exactly do 1.5) puts it at 3x total zoom with 426x341 resolution. So about 32% greater sensor performance. I personally don’t use the 384 in 24x because it is so pixelated (you’re basically looking at a cropped 48x36 image) and aren’t getting much visual data. It’s only useful for precision bench shooting like lining up the crosshair on a target, but for identifying different animals apart at 1000 yards that might be pushing it. Seeing a white shape is definitely doable though.

Ammo isn't going to get cheaper. Buy it.
Stock up way before November.

noted and obliged

also, WHY does aero not stock adapters for all of the suppressors they sell? They're absolute fuks.

tbf all their suppressors are OOS so probably figure no need to have adapters in stock

I'm guessing that they couldn't keep up with demand.

also internet is saying they are HUB so doesn't have to be Aero adapter

[LinuxJon]

FYI boyos, PSA has the Shadow 2 Compact in stock at retail. Just ordered one.

Still marked up to $1700-1900 most places that have them.

what all do you have on hand?

[Berts]

A guy I know works on swat for the feds. They got 200 Sigs P365 with the Romeo Red Dot. 40 of them cracked the screens when shooting. Sig said it was a bad batch and replaced them.

LOL at Sig, They can't get anything done right

[Brozef]

what all do you have on hand?

Not really sure. Probably 5k .223/5.56 and 4k 9mm

Just bought a case of .223 and a little over 1k .22LR

[nn586]

I've decided my next gun, AK of piss.
Something about the red dot near the front of it like below is HNNGGG

Looking at PSA GF5's, thoughts on them? Seems to have good reviews. And not trying to go all out like I did on my AR on this one. Just something decent.

[Brozef]

Get a combloc looking can for it too.

I've asked their customer service about this twice and they have no idea what you're talking about. Problem is, I believe you. Their customer service is absolutely inept and lies about chit just to get out of a chat or call. Why even buy American at this point?

[JChippy]

Daytime I carry a Shield Plus in a sidecar holster so I have 28rds on me. Family is with me during the day and most of the craziest **** (mass shootings, etc) are during the day. I'm also usually wearing pants and can wear a belt.

At night I carry my LCP Max. I'm usually by myself and I don't imagine needing more than 13rds for whatever goes down at Taco Bell or my gym. And I can easily carry it in basketball shorts.

Das it. Enough to get.away. Not participate in a gun fight.

[Horse86]

Not really sure. Probably 5k .223/5.56 and 4k 9mm

Nother 1k case of 9mm 124g HST LE on the way

More (probably 1-2k) 110g vmax 300blk next

That .70 per 77g IMI RC deal I posted a little while back sho am looking good right about now. Glad I grabbed about 3k. MarioMami where you at?? Mr reloader

I had a good experience with Aero cs. Maybe they don't know because it's relatively new (making excuses because I like them in general but I'd be livid)

I'd try contacting silencershop. They normally stock them (oos atm) but ask them what you can use instead. Surely they will know.

[PapaBurgandy]

We back?

I guess I should order another case of HST. I don't really trust the case of Ranger 147g I picked up cheap during Covid.

I ordered a complete .308 upper and compete .308 lower from them. Will not cycle. Gunsmith said it was a gas block issue and to warranty it. They fought me because it was a "home build" since the two parts were sold separately. They finally agreed to look at it. Sent it back "could not replicate". Would not cycle when I tried again. Straight trash service.

[Horse86]

Well the joos made up my mind for me. Stocking more. 1k 300blk 110g vmax and 500rd 220gr Sabre black tip 300blk subs in addition to the 1k case of HST earlier

Over $1500 on ammo today

same experience with my m5.

FFS.

I've had more issues with Aero stuff than with the cheap PSA guns I built when I started shooting.

[nn586]

Just get a WASR

Haven't heard of it but will look into

I hear a lot of good things about the Zastava zpap m70

Preferably though I like the all black AK's

[nn586]

Ok I suppose it's between the ZPAP M70 or WASR-10

What do for first AK?

[fishnbrah]

Well the joos made up my mind for me.

That’s nuts

[Brozef]

When x39 got expensive I stopped being interested in AKs, but from what I remember either is a good choice. I wanted a WASR.


EDIT: damb I just looked on AmmoSeek and any decent x39 is at least 50 CPR fuuuuk

[fishnbrah]

Where’s Farley? Probably checking the charge on his 14 fire extinguishers he has in his house
