Nice kill! When i get back home this summer i've got to bust out he foxpro and take some Yotes. Really wanting to get a thermal/NV setup for the hog problems that are rising in our area.

Nice kill and good looking gun there wormy! I have been debating a free float handguard on my Bushmaster for a while and finally pulled the trigger lol. Went with a Midwest Industries ss-series extended carbine guard, going from standard carbine length to 10 3/16 extended carbine. Think I have everything I need, new to modding this deep, I ordered a new low pro yankee hill gas block, gas tube roll pin, end cap for guard, spanner wrench for jam nut and a upper vice block. Ordered a BAD lever too, wasn't sure on that one, but for $25 what the heck. Any advice feel free to chime in! I have to get some pics when I get it done. Up until now I have polished the sear, replaced trigger spring with a set of JP springs, added a Mako magwell grip, single point sling adapter, and topped it off with an Eotech 516 and g33 Magnifier.

Update: here is a before and after pic of the MI free float handguard.

I definately like the feel of this one better than the stock. Was a quick and simple install, less than an hour. Good quality product, nice fit and feel.

So there's this rule that if new members have cool guns they need to invite the mods over for some fun. You near Michigan by any chance? Haha

Very nice, love my KMR build. Really wanted to make my 14.5 Middy into a KMR build before i sold it, would've taken too much work to do so though. Didn't feel like drilling the brake, shaving down the FSB, and then re-pinning the brake. Would've looked great though.

Sounds like a good rule to me :D so throw some guns and ammo in your truck and come on over.

I'm in WA State only a couple hour drive for you haha

Nice place! Unfortunately I don't see myself having time to pop on over to Washington anytime soon. Haha

Maybe I am not following you but everything I have on them did not come from an air soft store. I have an SightMark reflex sight on the. 50(that will be coming off because it shuts off every time I shoot it.) and an SightMark target designator on the AR. The sight on the AR came from Spikes with the gun.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
