    Blackovis code

    I just threw something random in my cart and the Working Class Bowhunter code works, has to be all capital letters I think. WCB10

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    Big fan of just a havalon piranta, for the price and utility they really are hard to beat. I also always have a benchmade in my pocket, as well as a leatherman in my bag. Between those three (and a couple replacement blades in the havalon case) I feel equipped for most any task. If fire is...

    Dry January

    I’m still on the wagon. I didn’t even know it was a thing until a few days ago. I used to drink a LOT. But I was down to probably 4-5 beers a night in september (trying to be more healthy) when I got the news from my woman that I’m going to be a dad in May. (Apparently these things can happen 🤣)...

    The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

    Ruger American Predator in 6.5CM. I threw it in a Magpul hunter chassis. Its a little bit heavier than I would like (12 pounds with the suppressor and scope) but it isn’t my mountain gun, it’s a “walk a mile or less into the woods and sit down” gun. Which it will be great for. Photo from...

    URGENT: Calling all diesel mechanics

    There’s nothing between that and the tank? Again, no diesel mech, a real one will probably chime and and say I’m an idiot, but that looks like a regular cartridge fuel filter and not a water separator, so perhaps it doesn’t actually have one if I’m correct. Usually a water separator will be...

    URGENT: Calling all diesel mechanics

    If it has a fuel water separator like a truck does (I think it should) they usually have a little petcock to drain what the separator catches. It may be worth draining that into something so you can get an eyeball on the fuel that’s in the bottom of the separator. If the fuel looks fine, your...

    URGENT: Calling all diesel mechanics

    I’m no mechanic, but I would for sure change that fuel filter. Look for signs of gelling while you are at it. If that’s going on, and the fuel in the tank looks like shit, you may be better off draining/siphoning off what you can before refilling, throw an appropriate amount of Diesel 911 in the...

    Excited for this year how’d yall season go

    Pretty slow, but no complaints. Neither me or dad drew a moose tag at home (again, big surprise). Didn’t head west either because my best friend had a wedding 1,000 miles away first week of September that I had to burn vacation for (best man, according to him at least) so I didn’t have the time...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    “Ear pro” is a military term for hearing protection, that’s it. A lot of the guntubers are prior service, or are cool guys LARPING and say “ear pro” a lot too. Thus a lot of other non prior service people say it. I was in the Marines Corps, I called it everything BUT “ear pro” until I was 18...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    Well the M2 is never really shot “man supported” and is always on a tripod or in a gun turret on a truck (not that you don’t know that) so in terms of recoil, there really isn’t any that the shooter really experiences. Anything legitimately shoulder fired (specially with the brake) will bang you...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    Likely because the .50’s are braked, right? Was never a sniper but spent a lot of time behind an M2. Never heard about any certain number of rounds but it makes sense because it’s a gun (M2) with a naked muzzle. I could see a brake on a .50 over and over would wreck your shit. My dad has one...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    You’re right, but shooting a rifle with big recoil/big noise/big concussion makes the shooter more apt to flinch. That’s all I’m saying. And I think that’s all anyone is saying. Neither a brake or suppressor truly make the rifle shoot better, mechanically. It makes the shooter more comfortable...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    Luckily the neighbors aren’t close enough to hear me shooting with my can… Or close enough to hear me in the bathroom after 3 beefy five layer burritos. *Ba-Dum-tis*

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    For anyone reading the bottom of this comment and gives a crap about what I’m talking about. Check out working class bowhunter episode 562 “Freak Hunting Accident with Sam Ubl & Chase Nation” on Spotify or Apple Podcasts etc. This stuff can happen to anyone. It’s more likely to happen to you if...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    As someone else already replied. Concussion from muzzle brakes is BRUTAL. And a lot of times it is so loud that even double earpro doesn’t make it safe. Sitting next to someone shooting with a brake even on a lowly 6.5 feels like you’re getting slapped in the face. A magnum-ish cartridge feels...

    Hahahahah. Trust me, I saw that. I think I am too new to be allowed to edit.

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    I agree with you here. The government has had my fingerprints for a hell of a long time. I’m not concerned about them getting them again. Nor a background check that is no more stringent than any other firearm purchase.

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    I’m with you here. For me, assuming I have a gun I can hunt with (barely gun hunt anyways, more of a bowhunter) a suppressor is a much worthier purchase than ANOTHER rifle I can hunt with. To me it isn’t even a question. You’re right, hearing is priceless. Shooting once or twice with no ear pro...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    Good comparison here. None are necessarily but can greatly enhance the experience with some drawbacks.

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    I guess it depends what you consider ROI. If I can get a little kid to comfortably shoot a .243 with a suppressor because it stuffs a lot of the recoil and noise, that’s a win for me. If I can get my in kid in the woods hunting two or three years sooner by using a suppressor, that’s a hell of a...
