If more folks open carried maybe we could start making this more commonplace and eventually people would stop freaking out. Somewhere along the way the public got conditioned to freak and get their feelings hurt rather than seeing it for the tool it is. My kids now stare when they see someone...
I’m not sure that value is going to hold though. Lately it seems like more and more slides are hitting the market that work with the poly80s and the price is dropping a lot. Outside of the slide none of the other parts are very pricey and there are tons of 3rd party versions that work really well.
If the Reddit itself wasn’t back I’d say this was a terrible April fools joke. Awesome news nice to see something come back after all the bad news lately.
I'm surprised. I figured they'd have been more likely to phase out the 4 and offer the 3 & 5. With the 3 sticking around to service CA and the contracts they already have in place for the 3g.
I guess the 3g style will live on in the 80% platform.
In general these are not as quick and easy to build as some would lead you to believe. I ran into this and a few other issues on one. Patience and small changes until everything is right is key. Good news is once it’s done/running it should run well. After doing one and fighting through a bunch...
A buddy of mine turned me on to his stuff some months ago and it’s enjoyable and a good change of pace from the mainstream crap. Wish we had more like him out there.
Nothing wrong with buying/building just for fun :) I consider my storm trooper 9mm ar pistol build to be firmly in the fun category but it’s brought a lot of enjoyment :)
I tend to agree here but I’m not taking it for granted. I think the fact that they’ve gone from the we don’t want to take your guns to being exposed for what most of us have known all along changes things. I think we’ll show up in mass come Election Day. Hell im not a huge trump fan myself but...
If this doesn’t get us fired up nothing will. Hopefully it translates come voter turnout time. Going to be harder for them to hide behind their old we don’t want to take away your guns argument...
Not surprised about rei playing politics. They are probably hoping for some press in a time they are struggling to stay relevant and in business.
The ironic thing is rei relies on our outdoor rec park s and spaces and one of the largest if not the largest sources of income and support for...
I don’t think this is inevitable and the defeatist attitude isn’t going to help. Time for our community to get active as a whole. There have been a lot of us on the sidelines for too long.
You could see if they can meet you somewhere in the middle to take the sting out of buying local.. There is a point where the price diff is big enough that it makes it tough. In a perfect. world we’d always buy local but sometimes an extra hundred bucks or better in your pocket makes a big...
