    Fine Art

    OK, so I may be a bit of a degenerate jackass in general, but I do have a taste for the finer things. I love Scotch and Cigars, but I also have a small collection of fine art. Anyone else? I'll have to dig up pics because it's all in storage at the moment, but I've got 3 by Hugh Mesibov Here...

    I'm digging the Davidoff Nicaragua Cigarillos. Great for when you just have a few minutes and all the flavor of the full size Nicaragua. Reasonably priced at $20 for a 20ct tin.

    Can't decide, need some input from y'all (which AR upper)

    I put about 10k through a 7.5" Noveske CHF and abused the hell out of it, including 3-1000+rd days. It was just as accurate the last time if shot it as it was the first. I run a lot of Tula, but I switch to federal if I'm trying to iron out a deficiency or try something new. As for the...

    Can't decide, need some input from y'all (which AR upper)

    Just a heads up, neither of those come with the flash Hider pinned without upgrading, so you'll need to upgraded in the drop down menu or take it to somewhere to have it pinned.

    Ed Hoill Everyday Hustle. Should set you back ~$6 with the Ga tobacco tax for a robusto. Other, standard, sizes are available. Friggin great stick. Loads of spice and a nice, old-school, earthiness.

    Ar pistol handguard

    I used a guntec rail once. It wasn't a bad piece of kit. Straight, fairly tough and simple. The tension ring can be tough to torque down properly and if you don't, it'll come loose and the whole handguard will shift.

    How hard is it to remove a gas block?

    It has a railed gas block, why not just add a flip up sight of the appropriate height.

    I made a thing and I'm proud lol

    That's because the Army recruits an absolutely amazing number of complete idiots.

    AR malfunctions

    I've got somewhere close to 20k through my AR. In that time, I've changed everything but the receivers, not because if failures, but because I'm ADD. I've had a handful of minor BS failures, one seriously stuck cases and a failed gas tube. The gas tube was the weirdest. The roll pin that holds...

    Red dot for AR

    I run an MRO on my AR and love it. Battery life seems pretty solid (haven't had to change it yet) field of view is friggin excellent and the dot is ridiculously crisp. I finally did a test, removing the sight while looking through the irons, and there is a very slight magnification...maybe 1.1x...

    I made a thing and I'm proud lol

    It's not polite to ask that. It's the masculine equivalent of asking a chick how much she weighs.

    Anyone here familiar with TYR tactical?

    You can get old flak vests dirt cheap. The Kevlar has degraded a bit, but it doesn't need to survive the actually bullet impact. I'd suggest over cutting the Kevlar by several inches and wrapping it. Epoxy would work well to secure it. I'd think you could get away with a couple layers in each...

    Who here rides a dual sport?

    I've seen a few, under 2k in reasonable condition. There was one in Brunswick about a month and a half ago for 1200. It had quite a few miles and was rough, but had a recent rebuild with the 683 kit.

    I'm stumbling around Forsyth park, growling at hipsters, smoking an LFD Coronado and drinking a Terrapin Walking Dead IPA.

    Anyone here familiar with TYR tactical?

    If you're really worried about spall/splatter, cut up an old flak vest and put the Kevlar over the strike face.
