So, if I have an overgassed AR, and am kinda an idjit, what's the best way to make it gooder?

A heavier spring? Do I need to mess with the gas block or get a different tube? Am I going to have to do all this multiple times to get it right, or is there a suggestion or guide or something?

I don't really know who this guy is but he makes a compelling argument.

Hey all, I'm looking for battle belt recommendations for range days. I currently have a Canik MC9, but plan on getting a 2011 as well. Any belt recs for holding a holster and a couple of mag holders and maybe a cell phone case?

I've been wanting a suppressor for my rifle for awhile, but with the incoming administration I'm worried about having my fingerprints on file due to the tax stamp. On the other hand, I'm seeing a bunch of people recommending suppressors on the subreddit and they don't seem to care. Is my worry reasonable or unfounded?

I've been shooting every now and then for the last 20-ish years and I'm a decent shot. I've shot a handful of different pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Leaning towards getting a pistol, not totally sure what I'd get. It would be for home/self defense but I like to go to the range sometimes. I'm considering:

• Some sort of 1911
• Ruger LC380 (is it even possible to get a CCW in CA?)

Any thoughts/recommendations?

I've owned my 9mm for 4 years without ever firing it, finally got up the courage to go yesterday and take a beginner class. Had a pleasant time, cleared away some anxiety. Turns out I'm actually not half bad.

Noticing that this community isn't getting much traffic, is there anywhere else folks are hanging out?

Running out of reality to blame, they got to make stories.

I'd like to get into shooting. Probably mostly going to a range maybe once or twice a week.

I'd like to mostly shoot a rifle, but I'd like some recommendations on - getting a firm footing on the basics (safety, storage, loading, cleaning, etc.) - whether that is via online resources, books, augmented with in-person training, etc.

Also when it comes to a decent rifle for eventual purchase - I'm up for recommendations.

The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American. 

The Fair Representation Act can solve partisan gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and encourage politicians to represent all of us instead of just their base. It does this by combining three reforms: 

• Multi-member districts. In three- or five-member districts, nearly every voter will elect a candidate they support. Voters like Massachusetts Republicans and Oklahoma Democrats will be represented in Congress. Gerrymandering will become nearly impossible.
• Ranked choice voting for all U.S. House and Senate elections. RCV frees voters to support their favorite candidates, and encourages candidates to reach out to more voters for second-choice support. When RCV is used in multi-member districts, it is a form of proportional representation.
• Uniform rules for congressional redistricting

The Fair Represent

Ideally, it be able to hold some weight and a pistol. I'm thinking something along the lines of a sling bag or daypack.

Gushing about CoreXY:

I finally got around to upgrading to a klipper based core xy machine and it is magic I went for the K1 Max, since it was $680 after discounts and it's 300mm³ (1.5X the size of a X1C)

Accelerations are 10x faster, print times are 4x shorter compared to my highly modded ender3 and cr-10. this build took about 12hr of print time, normally it was 2 full days.

NO sanding, NO filing, NO heating things up to make them fit right.

Every single piece came off the build-plate perfectly ready to go, aside from my intentionally under-sized pivot and takedown pin holes. I like to drill those out personally...

Now for the specifications:

• Daichi Upper + shroud (modified)
• DS1913 Lower v1.2 (modified)
• Slim Everytown mag (modified)
• Get Bent angled grip
• Mini hand stop
• sling mount is just the mount from S

Edit - I've been informed in another thread that the mod message may have been misleading and my post was likely removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.

What's up, all! First post here on Liberal Gun Owners of Lemmy. I thought I'd share my most recent addition. I've wanted one of these for a while but they were pretty scarce for the last couple years. When I saw the 5.56 back in stock I jumped on. I love that it takes AR mags and 5.56 ammo. It's not my most practical purchase but I'm happy to own it.
