Hunting Chassis

In the market for a hunting chassis, and narrowed my interest down to the KRG Whiskey-3, the MPA Hybrid, and the MDT ESS or ACC.

Regarding durability, what I wanted to know is which of these would fair better in the field in terms of aggressive handling, being dropped, bumped, etc.

In asking myself that question, I gravitate towards the Whiskey-3 simply because the aluminum chassis in encased in polymer.

Thoughts, ideas, anything else I should be considering?

LIVE: Returning to the Moon with ARTEMIS. LAUNCH RESCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 5, 2022 AT 5:00 PM

AUGUST 16, 2022

Almost half a century after mankind's ultimate mastery over fire came in the form of five titantic Rocketdyne F-1 engines turning 3000 gallons of kerosene and liquid oxygen into 7 million pounds of thrust every second, propelling the 38 story high Saturn V rocket and the Lunar Exploration Vehicle on to the surface of another planet and into the pages of mankind's ultimate scientific accomplishments, NASA is preparing to meet and exceed these same records with their new monster SLS (Space Launch System).

Consisting of a massive main core powered by 4 Rocketdyne RS-25 space shuttle engines fueled by liquid hydrogen and oxygen and two SRBs (solid rocket boosters) generating a whopping 11.6 million pounds of maximum achievable thrust, the SLS module is at the forefront of NASA's operation to put US astronauts back onto the moon with a single launch. The SLS is also capable of carrying more than twice the amount of payload as NASA's current heavy lifter single rocket, the Antares, and will likely be the primary tool for future Earth orbit station and vehicle construction for further missions into interplanetary and even interstellar space.

Barrel has about 150 - 200 rounds through it. Stainless finish. I just spray painted for purely aesthetic purposes. I didn't sand the steel before painting, so it should be easy to remove if needed.

Hanging stuff from the barrel?

I’m looking at weapons lights for my new KP-9

I see lots of people swap out the lower hand guard for a railed one, I like the original based on its history, how it feels, and it’s already a short grip, figure adding stuff to my “grip zone” is eating real estate in short supply

The KP-9 has a very small pic rail on the bottom of the front sight, was thinking of adding a SureFire X300 right there, would that work? Any issues?

Looking through photos on the interwebz I don’t see many people use that rail

Thanks

Are people (contractors) really this dumb?

Have work being done on the house through a GC as it is in many areas/different projects. No big deal.

We realize that we need some outdoor flooring re-coated/stained/sealed/whatever in the backyard as well as around the pool where we had new concrete put down after a tree started moving/growing through it. GC calls the contractor he usually uses for floor coatings, they give me a bid and at one point I ask about including my driveway into the bid as well. GC says he's just going to have us deal with each other as its a small and straightforward job and nothing for him to do or put anything into.

Fast forward a few weeks and it still hasn't started due mainly to all the rain we've been getting. In the meantime I tell the flooring guy that we won't do the driveway but to do the pool (most important) and the back patio area.

Get a text from the GC this past Friday that 'sand blasters are coming' Saturday. I'm like...ok, tell them to come in the back and do their thing.

Saturday sandblasting begins on the rear patio floor and after a few hours they're gone. I walk out the side of my house later that afternoon to go somewhere and notice.....the driveway looks to be sandblasted. I look around some more and....the pool area is NOT sand blasted. Right as I am about to call someone this guy that was apparently in charge of the sandblasting hobbles around the corner. I immediately tell him something isn't right and he's like, we did what we were told. Do the back, do NOT touch the pool, do the driveway. Nope...wrong order bud. I KNOW thats wrong because the pool was the A#1 thing that needed to be done and I had mentioned it 30 times.

He immediately starts getting a little tiff'd. I tell him I'll call the guy who called him for sub work on Monday and I guess we'll figure this out. Mind you, I never started with how he's not getting paid, or he fucked up, or any of that. It was - lets just wait and figure it out, it is what it is. He starts talking about 'his invoice' and I'm like...did you not hear what I just said? Plus you're subbed out, I don't want your invoice.

Monday rolls around. I call the main flooring guy and leave a voicemail. An hour later I get a call from....the sandblaster guy again. WTF?

Apparently he went by my house at 130 and I wasn't there. Uhh...for what? He was going to drop his invoice off for me. EL O EL

Who is this stupid?

First of all, I didn't hire you. I don't know you. I didn't schedule you. I haven't signed a single fucking thing.

Second of all, did we not have a conversation Saturday about this and what I was going to fucking do to see about working it out?

Third, who in the fuck in their right mind would pay you off some random ass invoice you drop off?

I'm like, my guy, I left your 'boss' a message. Haven't heard back.

He goes straight into high pressure used car sales pitches like how he needs to be paid for the work he did; yeah, great. It wasnt the work I authorized, so yeah, no.

Again, let me just figure this out in the next day or two with the guy who hired you and we'll get it sorted ok? Jesus. I'm trying to actually work on this with you guys.

He then goes straight to 'it sounds like I'm going to get dicked around on this by you. Im going to come by again with my invoice and if you dont pay it Im adding a 25% late fee and theres going to be problems'.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (breathe) problems? PROBLEMS? what problems you got for me? hahahHAHAHAhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Ok so....I'm trying to figure this bullshit out and still get you paid and your response is to call and try and strong arm, scam and then threaten me? Bold strategy Cotton.

So I just ask....where in our contract does it state anything about that late fee?

I can hear the wheels in his inbred ass turning when he realizes - we never signed a single thing because I was still waiting for the flooring guy to come by, get a deposit, sign a scope of work and pick out stain colors. But he put it off because he was so far behind and it never happened.

We have absolutely ZERO fucking agreement at all, in any form at this point. And this is the route this tard wants to go with me?

Seriously? I could easily just tell everyone to lick my balls at this point and not pay anyone; there is no agreement to anything. Yet I've been the one wanting to figure this out from the get go.

The fuck?
