Raithe Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Juggling the assorted mix of life at the moment. Work's being a bit messy for a variety reasons, the ongoing stuff with my father's medical situation, the onset of the seasonal bout of things, and I've also had to book flight to San Diego for end of December / New Year week to attend the quinceanara of a friend's daughter. Printing away at the Mando armour. Not going to have any of it ready for MCM Comic-Con at the end of the month, but I'm stewarding across all three days. I might just throw the steampunk adventurer kit in for something to amusingly strut around in when not working. Also pondering on how the budget might stretch to add a resin printer to my crafting stuff. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

That was pretty much because Shady had Sisko as avatar at the time. Back in the days of yore when we shared pictures of ourselves on the forums (there was always some variation of a 'post your ugly mug' thread) I was always a little weirded out when people did not look like their avatars. Because that is clearly the reasonable thing to expect, that forum posters look like their chosen profile picture (bonus points on forums without custom avatars, like the old BIS board). 1 No mind to think.

Keyrock Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 Stay safe @Gorth I took my AR-10 to the range to break in the barrel. I still don't have my scope (it's backordered), but I do have a red dot on a 45⁰ offset mount. If you want to mount both a scope and a red dot, which is a good idea if it's a high magnification scope that's ill suited to short range firing, such as the 4-16X44 scope that's going on my rifle, there are 2 main options: 1) Mount the red dot on top of the scope 2) Mount the red dot 45⁰ offset. I went with option 2. I also have a bipod and a flashlight mounted. All I need now is my scope and some sling mounts. I'll post a picture once the rifle is in its full tacticool glory. Anyway, breaking in the barrel may have been unnecessary as I barely saw any copper on the cleaning patches after the first 2 shots and zero copper after shot 3. I probably could have stopped right there and just started shooting normally, but I went through with the full break in routine. It can't hurt, even if it was likely a waste of time. I also dialed in the red dot while I was at it. I fired the first 15 from the bipod and shoulder fired the last 5. I'm glad I went with a 20" barrel as opposed to 18". It makes the rifle heavier, but it also makes it more front heavy, which is a good thing as the recoil goes mostly straight into my shoulder, rather than having the barrel climb. I'm also glad I splurged for the 2 stage trigger. The trigger on the rifle is awesome, it's super crisp and takes barely any pressure to pull. It's an absolute dream after squeezing a Glock trigger (even if I did improve it a bit) for the last few months. 3 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
