COBrien Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Updating this thread a bit... I got my LaRue C.A.N. mount in last week, and promptly mounted up my Leupold VX-HOG. I think it'll be a decent combination, at least for the time being. Edited May 19, 2020 by COBrien Adding photos...
COBrien Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Posted July 6, 2020 Another quick update... I couldn't get the alignment squared away with the Griffin 30SD on the OEM Tavor brake. So on went a Griffin 30SD Flash Comp, and it's perfect. I took the rifle out to a buddy's house yesterday morning to run some rounds through it and break in my 30SD. She ran like a champ on Federal XM80. Turned the gas block over to "Suppressed," and she ran great, with very little gas in the face. What there was was absolutely tolerable. This thing sounds like a nail gun with the can on! After about 5 rounds with the can, my buddy (who was standing right next to me and has never fired anything suppressed) taps me on the shoulder and says, "Take your ears off! This is the sh*t!" No pics -- I was having too much fun and quickly ran out of time. Had to go get the kids from Nana's house. Back to reality!

RedRiverII Posted July 7, 2020 Report Posted July 7, 2020 HMM, another 30 cal, hmm. O snap, I went to gunpime.com and had one in my basket, $1931.00, "er no thanks". I hate these help me deny my wants and deal with mama posts, because I want one too and gotta deal with mama. I don't have children, maybe those radar towers between my legs cooked my nuggets. You fathers do have a tougher job. So I see it's on it's way Mr. @COBrien congrats on the rifle. Good luck on the snip.

'Sides, I can't take too much off it without sacrificing the ability to remove the can and use it on other rifles... @RedRiverII I appreciate it! With this thread, I was really just trying to bait @98Z5V into expressing one of his Rube Goldberg-esque plans to convince Mama I needed a T7. At the end of the day, I just bought the d@mn thing. She'll find out or figure it out eventually, and that's just fine by me. Edited July 7, 2020 by COBrien

RedRiverII Posted July 8, 2020 Report Posted July 8, 2020 I see COBrien, for the most part it's all for a quick laugh for me as well. My Mrs. was raised in a fear based childhood, so when she feels in charge it does her well. In my case I married a bookkeeper. There is no wiggle room when the bills come in, "numbers don't lie" she told me in the beginning of our relationship. The buy and lie approach doesn't fit my style either. I wish you the best of luck. I wonder if you intend on posting a range report?
Radioactive Posted July 8, 2020 Report Posted July 8, 2020 Just wait till she notices and then play the I told you about it months ago game. In my case neither one of us can remember that far back so it’s all good.
COBrien Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Posted July 9, 2020 "I sold my DPMS [which isn't untrue -- it's down at the gun shop on consignment now...], and Jacoby (my jeweler/gun dealer) had this one laying around. He made me a hell of a deal -- only $200 more than what I got for the DPMS." My greatest fear is that I will die suddenly and unexpectedly and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.
RedRiverII Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 Mincing words for the sake of our wive's sentimentalities, totally understandable and righteous. You are to be commended sir!

Lonewolf McQuade Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 Definitely sucks to only be able to reach over & pet the new toy, but yes, worth it in the end. Im like a 5 year old when i get a new gun, dieing to get out & shoot it! Lol

Ah. Former coworker had “trigger finger” and at times he couldn’t straighten it at all. Seemed like a real pain in the ass. Oh well. That guy was a dick anyway.
