I wasn't sure that a fixed-barrel made that much difference in a pistol at longer/ridiculous ranges, until I tried hitting steel at 50 & 100m locked into a rest, using my nice E. German Makarov.

It's perfectly possible to perform decently with a good fixed barrel and stock up until 100 meters, the Stechkin is a good test for it. Theoretically it can go even up 200mts (the sights and the original requirements kinda tried to go for it) but my eyes are too shit/I'm too much of a crappy shot to perform reliably.

Stocked pistols are fun but it's very easy to see why they are outdated: the Stechkin itself survived mostly because it was a good light full-auto spray gun and got replaced as soon as the Soviets got good carbines going.

Has anyone tested something like an artillery luger at those matches?

TacticoolGF is an obvious man pretending to be a woman. He will never be a real woman. I don't care about your strawman infinitesimal number of cases of Klinefelter's or Turner's or other genetic anomalies. Those are all pathologies anyway (abnormal) and should not be celebrated as normal. They are freaks, and they have a legitimate genetic explanation for it.

A man pretending to be a woman outside of a comedic context is mentally ill. These mentally ill men pretending to be women like TacticoolGF are obviously hilarious for how grotesque they are but I am referring to normal men pretending to be women for comedy as the only time it is acceptable.

TacticoolGF = Tacticool Gay Fag, a deafeningly obvious man suffering from a severe psychopathology.

A man pretending to be a woman is mentally ill and should placed in an institution with other mentally ill people so they can not harm normal society. If a schizophrenic retard on the streets claims he is Jesus Christ I do not agree with him and will not encourage him. I don't understand why you would encourage an equally mentally ill gay retard.

A while back I tagged Sinistral Rifleman into a post I made in the Tranche thread. This was well before Karl started retweeting one of their goFundMe grifts.

These are a group of people that are armed to the teeth, constantly raging against imaginary enemies that are supposedly sabotaging their Alpaca farm... and regularly point rifles at cars traveling along a nearby main road.

It's very possible they're going to kill someone, whether through a negligent discharge when they're looking down rifle scopes at people that aren't even on their property, on a shooting spree, or they just kill one another.

Yes crazy people have their rights, but if you facilitate them then you need to take some responsibility when they eventually kick off.

Another good example of enabling mental illness and allowing it to be armed.

For the tranny in question, I know somewhere in this thread I saw a picture of Tacticool GF participating in CHAZ/CHOP back in 2020 as security. That was a questionably legal action of taking over six city blocks and forcing the residents to live under anarcho-communism rule under the guise of social justice. During that time several people were shot within the autonomous zone among other illegal activities of looting, racketeering, and vandalism.

Yeah he was never charged with a crime but why would you want to be around or engage in commerce with someone that shows a favorable disposition to illegal activity?

Holy shit guys someone check the temperature in hell. Lucas Botkins made a descent video with minimal cringe.

Aero put out a response in the comments.

I'm too lazy to watch the entire video, but apparently Lucas didn't lube the rifle at all for the first 2300 rounds. Did he give a justification for that?

Also he didn't loctite any of the screws on the gun and complained about them backing out.

I do think some sort of gas adjustment in the form of a gas block, etc. is greatly needed on DI guns running cans (even AR-15s). There are too many suppressor manufacturers out there with widely different backpressures in the commercial world.

He did not, I didn't even notice that. He mentioned cleaning and lubing at 2300 rounds but not it was dry previously.

He did justify the screw things with the logic of he would normally loctite them but they weren't loctited from the factory and wanted to keep it as close to off the rack as possible.

I think that when you're deliberately running something to the breaking point and being irresponsible with it a bit of preventative maintenance isn't much to ask.

Aero did address this saying that most people are going to customize their rifle once they get it so they leave the loctite off to make that process easier. Which I understand but Aero really could include something with their guns informing you of that, maybe even throw in one of those disposable loctite bottles.

I guess I wasn't sure if he had built a complete rifle or built it.

Watching the beginning, he says he got an upper, a "complete lower", and a BCG. So that would explain the no lube thing. Makes sense as it might be messy to ship anything other than an assembled/sealed up rifle.

I don't think it's great for Aero to say in their comment about loctite; "We don’t generally do this from the factory as we aren’t offering a complete “out of the box” rifle and most M5 users are building from scratch, upgrading components, etc. Loctite can be your best friend and your worst enemy."

Lucas didn't buy a complete rifle in a box, but it doesn't excuse buying a complete lower and skipping out on it so users don't have to use a few extra inch-lbs of torque to remove something.

Even when we were dealing mostly with ft-lbs, the mandate was that threads of anything fastened with loctite previously be cleaned before reinstallation, and told that even if reinstalling using fresh loctite, a few shreds of old stuff could throw off the final torque.

So I figure it's probably the same or worse working with in-lbs; possibly Aero also didn't want customers sending shit back, because they couldn't be expected to clean the old loctite out before putting things back together & cranking it down.

But that's just me giving them the benefit of doubt because of my old experiences. ymmv

Ok, I was skeptical at first.... but I'm more willing to part with my money now. If only because of the historic images of nip troops I've never seen before, and the items themselves are pretty nifty.

But my interest stems from being given an empty pack of Luckies my grandfather brought back with him in 1945; it was the last pack he smoked, and he said he finished it the day they found out Germany surrendered. Plus I smoked like a locomotive while I was downrange, and I have always been interested in the tobacco smoked by fighting men since the beginning of it's use in war.
