      EoTech 512 Question

      15 years year ago my ex's father looked through a 512 I had at the time and had the same complaint. He loved my Aimpoint.

      Ocean Pines Police Chief (Previously placed on Admin Leave) announces retirement 06/07/2023

      ^^^This. Actually, I'm stunned Ocean Pines has a police department. The locals definitely aren't going to want aggressive traffic enforcement. They just want someone to complain to when kids egg their dilapidated vacation property or fight between geriatrics breaks out on the shuffle...

      AR-10/LR-308 charging handle

      HAHA... yes that is correct. I asked this question about a handle at 2A Sales a few years ago. "Tom" grabbed someones new 716 put the handle in and got it stuck. I didn't buy the charging handle. :D

      581 mini14 going rate

      Funny you mentioned Mini-14s... I just found a GB I bought off of Lou that I forgot I owned. Haven't seen it in years. :-D

      Appliance repair

      It's common for the part known as the "spider" and the associated bearings to break or wear out. It's not a difficult job skill wise, but in general it requires tearing down most of the washer and is time consuming.

      Bathroom remodel, avg cost / recommendation? 21771

      Try Mast Construction services in Mount Airy, honest guy (Mennonite) with a really good reputation in the area. I usually do the work myself because I’m cheap and super picky. I just finished remodeling the kids bathroom, the six year old tore the new towel rack out of the wall on the second...

      Scope Suggestions LR .308

      You'll want a lower powered optic paired with the 16" barrel.... like a ACOG 3x or 4x; or a variable 1-4x, 1-6x. I have a Vortex PST 1-4x on my SIG 716 (16" barrel) and it usually gets me on a pie plate at 300 yards without much difficulty.

      Generator for well pump and septic?

      I just use a 5000/6250 watt inverter generator tied in via a 30A L14-30R power inlet box and generator interlock switch. Runs the well pump, two fridges, two freezers, and one of the three furnaces without a problem... granted we cant run the AC off of it but if we get stuck with out power for...

      RDB or CETME-L

      I don't really like either but if I had to choose it would be the Kel-Tec. Personal preference... I'm just done with the whole post war stamped steel Hk based designs. They're heavy, have the ergos of a railroad tie and crappy diopter sights; not to mention the big heavy bolt roller lock...

      AR-10 Trigger/Hammer Pins

      It probably helps to clarify whether this this question pertains to an actual Armalite AR-10 or the SR-25 patterned clones that are popular...

      Refrigerator repair

      If the compressor isn’t kicking in you may need one of those solid state cold start capacitors.... I replaced one on a refrigerator in a rental property a few years ago for like $25.

      Well there go the pistol braces.

      First bump stocks, now pistol braces. Ironically, we were better off under the Obama Administration.

      Generator for well pump and septic?

      No one has mentioned Total Harmonic Distortion. Most of the generators mentioned in the thread have a pretty high THD rating of up to 25%. If you have some fancy appliances in the house like a $3k Samsung/LG refrigerator or a newer HVAC system you're going to want a low THD. Some of the newer...

      Price difference between two reticles of same scope, Vortex Viper HS BDC vs Vplex

      I bought one of the Grand Slams when they were on clearance from SWFA over ten years ago. Great Japanese made scopes; my step dad has had it on loan w/ a Fulton built upper for the past 6 or 7 years, I'll probably never see it again. The reticle in question may also be licensed which could...
