I have not found any upgrades that are not insanely expensive. Plus, I would rather my tie rod fail than a part farther in the line. That being said, I ordered the Moog from Rock Auto for $40 total. They are grease-able and a buddy has them and likes them. I will report back when I get them...
I found out that the tie rod ends are different for aluminum and steel knuckles. The real learning moment is that the descriptions don't tell you that anywhere in the listing.
Vortex Defender CCW Enclosed arrived tonight and I installed it. There was blue loctite on the screws, so I used that. I have a tube of the thread locker recommended above, if that fails.
Now to hit the range.
There was a guy who was arrested for destroying several Flock cameras. A jury decided not to indict him. Basically, they heard the evidence and said “what you did was against the law but… we like it and you’re not going to be tried. “ he was released
You know the .gov will never let that happen. Once the surveillance is active, it will never be shut down.
Did you see the cop in Florida who searched his ex-wife 717 times in 2 years? Obviously, this cannot be abused.
Absolutely gorgeous day in Breck today. We ran Peak 10. There were 9 switchbacks at the top that were technical, though not hard. Amazing scenery. We did get rained on and a little hail.
Used my new Badlands jack to diagnose a bad tie rod. Clunking is driving me nuts. Researching replacement outer tie rods now.
If you’re an ITC the hack is $199 right now. $90 off was too good a deal to pass up.
This gun has the RMSc footprint, so I am looking for red dots that are RMSc. The Vortex Defender CCW Enclosed is on my list. This gun is the Shadow Systems CR920 (think G43X but with RMSc/K footprint).
My list of optics are:
Vortex Defender CCW Enclosed
Holosun EPS Carry
Holosun EPS Core...
Absolutely fed up with my red dot. I have been to the range 3 times now and it has not worked. Sadly, I've decided that its a giant paper weight. I am looking in to new options.
I confirmed that the screws pulled threads, luckily not on the slide side.I have given up on this one. I am...
$400 drop fridge slide? Heck no. $16 piano hinge and a custom frame? yes?
This is proof of concept. I have to move it left a little to clear the hinge and slide it back so it clears the door. Now that I know it works I can use better wood than what I had lying around.
Watch the video I posted. He addresses “expectation of privacy”. What flock is doing is building a profile on you, that’s not privacy. That’s tracking your every movement and making record and that was ruled unconstitutional.
You’re essentially saying you’re willing to give up your rights...
