no surprises here..... Stormtroopers with letters on their uniforms: nothing to see here, keep moving along

I don't use ice.....and only maybe 3 cubes in my glass.

Then gin is my problem with brain fog.....

Just in case I didn't remember where I am......🤠

Just in case someone needed to know....

Just in case someone like me didn't read the Geissele manual for their gas block install, here it is: https://geissele.com/amfile/file/download/file/9317aa42f90e53a906015028af61719d/product/42/

Works for me! I have one of those, and mine has been used on many things......never thought about it for this purpose.

🤣🤣🤣🍻

My A frame sight is the actual pinned style, ready to go....just once used. And all the hardware is there, pins, sights, even have a tube (just the wrong length......

My only "fear" is from using either locktite or rockset is this.....locktite is removed with heat, and rockset is removed with water.....maybe I am retarded (like I said) but I am thinking the pinning is more solid, long term. Or just REALLY overthinking something that is not needed. And to re-ask a question, staking these small screws.....is that actually something that would work to "set" them permanently? And I am not forgetting the dimples on the barrel....just to head off a question here.

I can say that the gas block that I am questioning is a PSA low profile version that came on the upper I have. It is steel, and just screwed in place, so the screws got my attention first, then I checked to see what the material of the block was. I do have some of the old A-frames setting around, and maybe that would be easiest for the modification (a real gunsmith job....I tend to hammer screws in 😝). BUT, if the mod isn't too hard to just drill and pin.....then either way he is gonna have to do some work.

Maybe this has been done before here, but I went back a ways (probably not far enough) and didn't find anything on this topic, so here goes...... I am a bit old school, hard headed, and possibly a bit retarded, but I tend to want a pinned gas block on my ARs. Mostly due to my not having to worry about screws loosening up, the tolerances changing due to heat (aluminum blocks), and other things going wrong at the worst time. I have had nothing but milspec front gas block sight towers on all my previous builds, and now was going to have my current build redone with a pinned front sight tower to make it "pinned" and not aluminum. I just found out that my low profile gas block is actually steel, but is screwed on to the barrel. My question is: would just pinning the current block work as well as a milspec gas block that I have cut off, or just do the work and go to the milspec gas block? A third option that I want to know is.....using the factory low profile block, how about making sure everything is correctly installed, and then stake the screws to keep from having whatever version of loktite is used from releasing (heat or water immersion)?

98, pm sent off

Dpete, forget about the 38 spec brass, do you have any 270 laying around? Thanks.

Your mind may block out the noise, but there are still the damages being done each time this happens. Diagnosed shooters hearing/hearing aid in left side/tinnitus getting worse all the time in both sides. I wish that I could block out the noise from my pipes when I am on the highway, that constant loud drone gets irritating, and hurts, after a while. And for me, earplugs may work, but they become painful after only .5 hours or so.....fukd if I do/fukd if I don't.

poop, I forgot the part about tracking on the new ones......they can track you with the GPS built into the system. Never was a fan of that crap either.

I am sooo much happier without a motorcycle that needs updates to its ecm every time I hit a dealership. Had a 2015, traded off for a 2010 trike for the wife, and got myself a 2009. I can work on, and fix, these.....even took the fukn radio out of mine. Way more peace on the road now. Only thing that would be better would be a carbed shovel or evo to ride on.....but these are what I found at the time.

^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!!!!

38 spec...let me know how much you have....still the 2#?

I actually use that orange case in my lunchbox. Not for the same use, but they do work well, and keep poop dry. Not to mention take a beating for 3+ years.

You need to try New Amsterdam Stratusphere gin. Makes those 3 look sick, no "tree needle" flavoring. I preferred their original gin style, but the Stratusphere is the next iteration I guess.

Let them line up. Drop the flag. Genetics problems starting a good solving period.

After seeing your photos and video, it's Time to put some offroad tires on the Ultra and go easy riding!!!!!!

Good times, and great memories when you do this kind of trip!!!
