re: Ice chest recommendation

What activities do you want to bring the ice chest along for?
quote:
Tailgating and camping mostly. I do have one of the cubes and its ok, pretty bulky and the lid never stays on. I dont need a Yeti but would like that type of cooler.
Mainly just curious where the best deals can be had. If the answer is Ozark from Walmart Im good with that.
I quit dealing with ice and stepped up to a 12v fridge for camping. I've got a 75qt dual zone dometic and can get 5 days worth of perishables for a family of four in it.

I used to rock crocs but wanted to shed a couple of ounces and save some space so I picked up a pair of sandals from zeroshoe. I believe they are the z-trek sport but I'd have to look it up to be 100% sure.

I'm a big fan of the longleaf vista road to backbone trail loop in kisatchie.
Hop on all trails and search for it. There are a couple of other trails in that area worth checking out as well that you can locate using all trails.

I'm looking for a Surefire suppressor, recommendations for a 11.5 and a 13.9 5.56 AR?
SOCOM 556 (not the mini) if you want a surefire. Went down this road, got the socom 556 after i shot it next to the mini and have no regrets.

Some of my local northshore trips:
- Cane Bayou
- Bogue Falaya
-Put in at the park in downtown covington, travel up river as far as you want and turn around and come back down. There are a ton of places to stop and get out to play/rest. There are spots with rope swings up river
-Put in at St Joseph's Abby and travel down river to the park in downtown covington to take out
- Tangipahoa River- Couple of ways you can do this to aviod a lot of boat traffic
-Put in where the river intersects Hwy 22 and paddle down to Lees Landing.
-Put in at Lees and travel up stream then back down.
-I'd like to come up with a float plan to put in above hidden oaks family camp ground, paddle down to the camp ground to stay a night and take out the next day at the Hwy 22 intersection or Lees landing.
- Bogue Chitto
- I'd like to come up with a float plan that would put in north of Bogue Chitto State Park, camp at the park a night, and take in some where down river. Maybe one of the tubing places?

re: Waterproof Duffel Bag

Ortlieb duffles are legit
I’ve got a backpack from Remote designs that I like.
I’ve also got items from Skog a kust that I feel are quality.
It all boils down to what ip rating you’re looking for honestly. I’d read up on ip ratings and make sure whatever bag you choose is rated for that.

Where is Vista based at? Hopefully it is a US company and not some foreign company.
Vista is a spin off when ATK decided to restructure their holdings in like 2015.
Interesting that they sold off savage recently.
I’m too lazy to type out the whole history but the vista Wikipedia page looks to be correct from my quick scan of it.

What’s the process
Hop on silencer shops web site and find a dealer near you with a sid kiosk.

have a Colt M4 (5.56mm) and want a pretty nice suppressor.
If you just want a dedicated 556 can, I’ve been really happy with my griffin armament m4sdk. I own an surefire socom and have shot most of the 556 cans on the market. I’d invest in the griffin again in a heartbeat. Fits over pretty much any muzzle devise based off an a2 birdcage so no proprietary muzzle devises to buy, good suppression, blow back isn’t horrible, not too expensive.
If you’re looking for a 30 cal option they do the 30sd.
If you don’t want to be limited to ARs I’d look into other options but those are so numerous it’s a waste of time to make suggestions not knowing more about your list of requirements. Lots of guys out there making good stuff and it’s hard to go wrong picking a can these days.
It’s more about finding the right one that meets your end use. If I were you I would make a list of attributes and then rank them and let that be your guide to a can.
Those attributes may include: weight, pos/poi shift, modularity, blowback, etc.
Rank them and find a can that fits that guide.

From my research, 5.56 isnt a good round for suppressors.
Is it as good as 300blk subs? No. Is it movie quiet. Again no. But it’s hearing safe. 556 suppresses fine.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive 556 pistol look locally for a Sig tread. Great value for the $$.

Not “flush” mounted but I wanted to be able for my cover to hold a load so I went with the diamondback.
No regrets.

Second this.
They’re a checkmat affiliate so we have their professors come out to our gym (Vida jiu jitsu) and teach once a week or so.
I’ve also trained a couple times in BR with them and it’s a great group of guys.

I’m having it done by Justin Owen out of covington. After seeing 5 different surgeons all around LA, felt he was the guy.

Silencer shop single shot trust is your friend.
Add responsible persons after the fact. The more responsible persons the longer the wait time.

Find a shop around you that has a SilencerShop SID kiosk is my recommendation. Makes the process painless.

re: Good place to buy 1 or 3 point slings?
Posted by towgunner18 on 8/27/20 at 3:00 pm to jlovel7
Adjustable two point is the way to go.
My go to flavors:
Viking tactics padded
Lead faucet
Way of the gun
Lots of people like the Blue force gear version, I don’t care for it but wouldn’t say not to buy it

Whenever I purchased a gun after my first address change I just showed the retailer my confirmation email from LSP showing the change. I never had anyone need to call to confirm.
Fun fact.... dealers are supposed to validate your chp through LSP. I’d be curious if anyone actually does.
