  1. I'd be willing to bet you grew up with siblings. I was an only child and have no problem being alone, I usually enjoy it; then I don't have to put up with other peoples b.s. ?
  2. Oh, I would not be pleased at all either but what's the alternative? Send it back (again) wait another X number of weeks and pray that it comes back right? I'm more of a "at least it isn't pink" sort of person. I'd have a hard time trusting them a 3rd time after this. I feel for you man...
  3. I have a Carlson's breacher choke on one of my M4's and have not experienced either cycling issues or black smoke with it, I really don't see how the choke could cause either problem. Have you tried other ammo with it and do those problems persist?
  4. It is well padded all around, I don't have it with me now but I'd say 1/2 - 3/4 inch of padding. Worth is a relative thing, to me it is. I like the coffin style lid and that it does not look "tactical" with a bunch of external pockets and backpack carry straps; I can disguise it easily and for my purpose that is very desirable, plus, it's American made. To me, yes it's worth it but YMMV.
  5. It looks a whole lot better than it did when you sent it in. I wouldn't be thrilled with the glossy finish but it's acceptable.
  6. The zippers say "Ideal" but they seem to work just fine, need a bit of breaking in but that's normal. There are 2 zippered storage pockets in the lid. The bottom is a sort of quilted material which accepts velcro hooks so the 3 removeable straps can be placed at any angle, you could also attach shotshell cards on it. It really is about as stealth as can be for a long, flat carrier; it doesn't have tactical pockets on the outside. Again, I am putting a couple "Lacrosse" patches on the outside which is quite plausible for this carrier, people will assume that's what's inside.
  7. The nut holding the front sight strips easily. I replaced the sight on 1 of my M4's that was stripped and loose from the factory. A replacement nut was $7 + not including shipping. You will also need a 5.5 mm mini wrench, this is the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/Acu-Min-51-1836-Wrench-millimeter-Overall/dp/B004W8D7LU/ref=mp_s_a_1_29?crid=9NTJFCA6XXXA&keywords=accu-min+5.5+mm+wrench&pscroll=1&qid=1648482518&sprefix=accu-min+5.5+mm+wrench%2Caps%2C342&sr=8-29&wIndexMainSlot=25
  8. I can, but give me a few days, I'm on the road right now.
  9. I ordered one of these, got it today and it's very nice. It doesn't really look like a gun case which is what I wanted, very non-descript. I am going to put a couple LaCrosse patches on it as it's my new "racquet case", lol; hidden in plain sight! Made in the U.S.A. is a bonus as well.
  10. Not all shot shells are the same length either. I've found Fetter 00 buck (from Russia) are slightly shorter than normal and will fit 7 in a 7 round mag. Here in Texas Academy Sports is selling the 25 round boxes for $16.99 ($.68 a round) which is a pretty good deal; they all go bang so far.
  11. Oh, I'd take whatever presented itself at the moment, I was just looking at it as a "what if" exercise.
  12. Well, I assume I'm in a SHTF situation at that point, if it shoots, it gets used.
  13. This is a interesting thread. I think I would take the Benelli M3, over a pound lighter than the M4 and semi auto or pump if it gets super fouled. An AK 74 chambered in 5.56 for the simplicity and ammo availability in the U.S. and a 9mm pistol, again, due to readily available ammo. I do have all 3. Let's just hope it remains all speculation.
  14. Buy it direct from Wolff, I don't remember what shipping was but it wasn't $16. I usually get a 5 pack, the ship cost is pretty much the same. https://www.gunsprings.com/index.php
  15. Understandable, yes I am signed up. I am in a bellwether occupation and things are going to skyrocket very soon, they have to. FJB & FJT
  16. Want a great pistol case you can leave in your car that no one will bother? Get the fruitiest child's lunchbag you can find at Walmart, put a piece of tape on it with Timmy or Joanie written on it. No one will break in for that! Lol, I'm giving away all my secrets...
  17. I like, "hidden in plain sight". I have a Shockwave case that I put embroidered patches on; they read, "Love, Peace & Clarinet". I think I'll get a clarinet pin or two for it as well. Do I play clarinet? No, but the implication is there. With a bit of creativity you could easily disguise this bag, I'm seriously considering getting one, thanks for posting it!
  18. That is a nice case. I really like the "coffin-style" opening, where the lid flips open without weight on it. I have a Viktos case like that and it's really a nice feature.
  19. Feedback? Ok! $118 each + shipping? Deal! I'll take 2, that's a reasonable price to replace a plastic part that holds the WHOLE freakin' gun together! No ribs is fine by me as well, I like unique and just bare titanium, it's a pleasant color. Any ballpark estimate on delivery time?
  20. So, what kind of timeline are you looking at for these Robb? (tapping fingers)
  21. Again, no offense was meant.
  22. Wow... no offense but that's super anal retentive, lol, for something like that I just find a shade of lacquer nail polish and call it good. It doesn't have to be an EXACT match, but that's just me; no one would ever know anyway.
  23. Correct, an 11 gram gain over OEM with a huge gain in durability of a critical part; it is, after all, holding the gun together. Well worth it IMO, I'd take two.
  24. The difference between the titanium and polymer and is 11g and 19g vs aluminum. Those are negligible to me for a big increase in durability; my vote is for titanium.
  25. Well, keep us posted on what you find, I was seriously considering getting one and am curious if damage after limited use is common, thanks!
