    Gunsmithing Recommendations for best cleaning chemicals - bonus if non-toxic

    We use ultra sonic machines to clean anodized and painted aluminum fishing reel parts daily at my job. They are suspended in SS baskets in a solution of Simple Green Crystal and water. The solution is also heated. If the mixture is too strong it can start to remove the dye from anodized parts...

    MK Machining help. ARD on a 1x optic?

    My SAI LVPO came with an ARD. It's visible, but less so than I thought it would be. I did bug me a little so I don't run it.

    Auto Help needed near Williams, AZ

    If there are parts left over and it still functions, it just means it was overengineered to start with.

    6MM ARC Help !!

    I have run my 20" Proof with a regular AR rifle buffer and spring, then changed to the A5 with the similar weight buffer as the AR rifle. Sorry I forget if it's H2 or H3. Its around 5.3ish ounces or something close to that. No issues and I am running the Aero adjustable gas block with a full JP...

    Lexis Nexis

    I understand how OnStar works and what it can access. Hence my comment about disabling the connection from the antennae. It still needs a signal to function. Electronic power steering has been around for a while in some vehicles. Not super common but it has been used here and there. I think...

    Lexis Nexis

    OBD2 was about emissions and to standardize the codes and data for all manufacturers. Ford and GM were the primary brands they used because of the data provided by each. Things like Fuel Trim and the codes. It's essentially a hybrid of the two systems with a standardized code list. They were...

    NY Gov. Sending National Guard to the Subway LOL

    1999 so it was Bosnia/Yugo wars at the time. Prior to 9/11 and GWOT. Lots of refugees in Czech Republic while I was there. Pre EURO for the money, but they had pricing in both currencies in most countries.

    NY Gov. Sending National Guard to the Subway LOL

    When I traveled in Europe in the spring of 1999 every train station in German and Austria had K9 police and they were all armed with MP5's. Seemed pretty common in a lot of places in Europe to have armed police and mean ass dogs muzzled up at train stations.

    Yes two stopped the fight after the first one, a center mass hit, did not.

    LPVO or red dot for general purpose and SHTF truck gun

    I know a guy that was involved in a self defense shoot inside his house. He used his shotgun with 00 buck and shot the guy twice at around 14 yards. He hit him once in the chest and once in the face/head. The dirtbag survived, but he is bound to a wheelchair and shits in a bag. Just pointing out...

    Noise canceling headphones

    JBL durability kinda sucks for their headphones. We have a friend that used to work for them. He would give my coworkers free headphones and ear buds all the time. The ear buds had pairing issues or one would work and the other wouldn't. The ear cups on the headphones fall apart quickly. Just be...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Premier Reticle

    I have a golden ring spotter they did with the FFP football mil dot reticle. I never was able to find exact data for the actual size of the football mils and spacing. I assumed 1 mil spacing from the center of the dot to center of next dot and .75 spacing between the ends. I bought the spotter...

    Noise canceling headphones

    Bose over the ear are the way to go for air travel. I still have the original pair from when they released the noise canceling. I think they are on gen 3 or 4 now. Good sound quality and no aircraft noise when you fly. Just be prepared to replace the ear cups every few years. The leather or fake...

    Geissele 6 ARC in service with SOCCOM, some hands on comments.

    I am not sure. I just don't remember all of the details of every brand they tested and how many cycles they lasted. I just remember the G stopped testing at 125k and nothing else even came close for standard DI bolts on the market at the time.

    Rainer arms ultra match ar-15 barrel damage

    The same friend that worked at Surefire said they sent some parts out to be S-Line? coated because it's supposed to be excellent and applied at lower temps. The parts came back soft and had issues. The applicator place wasn't sure what temp they applied it at...so could have been just that...

    Paging TonyTheTiger 14.6 Rifle Gas Barrels

    My buddy has that 14.8 siphon barrel. Seems to run perfectly for him. Pretty soft shooter from the little I ran it. I thought about getting one then realized I don't need another 5.56.

    Rainer arms ultra match ar-15 barrel damage

    That TiN coating is applied at around 800F. Maybe that is creating an issue with the hardness?
