  • I have 600 rounds on one cam. Overall the epoxy makes it lighter and stronger. The titanium has no visible wear.

    I have a gassy suppressed .300blk build. Managed to melt a PLA+ lever after 450 rounds.

    Haven't had the same issue with PA6-CF levers.

    I think reducing gas and timing is more important with printed levers than metal.

    But once you do that is pretty solid imo.

    I have to drive pretty far to test sadly.

  • I think very few gun owners know the difference between a FRT and a machine gun. Especially when you just hear BRRRT one lane over.

    The RSO probably didn't care to know either did the fudd thing.

    I'm guessing the ATF/Met Police raided him cause someone reported a machine gun at the range.

    Our lawyer friend crying wolf only posted the first page of the charging document. The last thing that page says is they got a warrant for his electronic devices.

    Who knows maybe he was printing Glock switches and other actual machine guns. Until we get that whole document, and see what they are charging him with, it's kind up in the air.

  • You need the 45* cut to allow for switching between safe, frt, and semi.

    The "Rounded" cut is a bit up in the air on necessity. If found with an uncut trigger your trigger pull is much heavier.

    This is for the SCS Super Safety - not the TURD btw.

  • NAL; NLA; DYOR.

    The guy who posted this on Reddit really seems to like the attention.

    He didn't mention it was a DC charge until challenged on it.

    Granted D.C. Doesn't have a FRT ban, it's the same language as the federal statute.

    https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/sections/7-2502.02 - granted all weapons in DC need some form of registration it seems.

    I think the ATF is trying to fuck over a nobody to set court precedent on FRTs being machine guns. They went up against Rare Breed's lawyers - and that proved difficult.

    And since they appealed the N.D. Texas case but went to settlement, that N.D. Texas ruling only stands in that district.

    The big thing in question is whether he's getting charged under the VA "Trigger Activators" Law:

    https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter7/section18.2-308.5:1/


    None of this changes that The TURD, the SuperSafety, The TX22 FRT, and the FRT15 all comply with federal statute to the letter. The trigger is forced back, and requires a user input to fire again. Only one bullet per trigger pull.

    SCOTUS's Garland v. Cargill - https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-976_e29g.pdf

    AKA the strike down of the bump stock ban says "like automatic fire" is not a machine gun either.


    All said and done, this seems like a lesson in following your local laws - and not being a fucking dumbass.

    He literally used a rental rifle and dropped his FRT into it. Then told the RSO he made it himself.

    Shut up, don't say nothing.

  • I'll do a write up. Good idea.

  • Yeah so it definitely seems like it's "wiggling" out of spec. Is your upper trimmed properly? Nothing preventing the lever from forcing back enough?

    If you try a fresh trigger, I'd trim it with a little bit more left than usual. So that you have more area for the cam to push on earlier in the rotation.

  • Dead Air Nomad 30.

    It's a nice one. Full Auto rated.

  • Flipping fantastic. Can't stop the signal!

    I need to make my alt-github to I can PR the scripts and code I wrote to upload all this.

    When you get the new zsts posted lmk and I'll start another upload session.

    Amazing work.

  • My guess would be that the trip isn't moving the lever far enough.

    You can rotate the cam by hand. And the slack range would change based on the initial position. The big question is if it's in a functional position when you install the upper, does it fully return to that functional position after cycling.

    If not you'd only get a round or two off before it shifts.

  • Hello

    Jump
  • You can change your theme in settings. There are a few options.

    If you need a mobile app. Mlem on iOS and Eternity for Lemmy on Android are solid. Thunder for Lemmy is cross platform.

    Honestly just search "lemmy" in either app store and something will come up.

    This guide is more detailed.

  • It could be tolerance stacking.

    If the safety hole is .002" higher than your other lowers, that could be enough plus the trip distance causing the cam not to rotate as much.

    Do you have a spare trigger to try cutting?

    88% on the rest of the comment images. Now to wire up a bot.

  • I'm just starting on this.

    I started with all i.reddit.com links. There are roughly 6k urls. I wrote a script to bulk download them but save the name as a hash of the url + ext.

    Got 4.5k already - a boatload of 404s.

    How old is this archive? There could be a lot of deleted posts that we retained over the years.

    Going for the rest of the image links from all over :)

    Going to spin up !ark@fosscad.io - and create a bot to reupload a lot of the posts.

    EDIT 2:

    !ark@fosscad.io now exists.

    I finished off the post images (other domains than i.reddit.com and imgur)
