Dear WLS

  • A-in-your-face. WLS is life – Long story short, I had a medical event while on vacation in Mexico and the care there sucked! (I do not recommend) A med kit wouldn’t have helped my situation much but it got me thinking. In the states when I travel via vehicle, I always have at least one pretty stocked med kit on me. But I have never thought to take a minimum of supplies when I fly on vacation or when I travel to other countries. What things would you recommend in a travel kit, at a minimum? Thinking that you dont have your vehicle, might be in another country, and may have restrictions on the things you bring? I am thinking a small minimum kit of a couple essentials would be smart… #no_notes

  • Sean M – Suppressor Mount Question, I’m putting together a BRN180 with an 10.5″ 5.56 barrel and have a Griffin GP7 ready to go. Being that it will need a thread adapter (from 1/2-28 to 5/8-24) would it be better to pin and weld or silver solder that setup?

 

  • A-ARONS lost foot – I recently bought my first lever action gun and I don’t know to go Red Dot route or if I should go lpbo route. I bought a Marlin 1895 BL and 4570 and in terms of use case, it’s going to be arranged toy. Could be used for hunting for the down the road, but possibility is open. with the cast do a red dot or lpvo and just thoughts of why they went with that decision if they were me? Thanks my dudes

  • Alex W – I’ve been listening to this podcast every week for 5 years. How the fuck did I not know that Shawn and Jeremy play DnD??

 

  • Dane G – Hello wls. First off love the show guys. Looking at starting a home ffl. Was thinking of using rocketffl to get started. I think Shawn used them to get started and was wondering the process of it. I know you use an office space, would you recommend that so my home address isn’t public? Feel like that’s putting a huge target on my home. Thanks guys. Ps. If I was gay I’d suck your titties Shawn.

  • Dutch Walker – My Mitchell Defense story. Roughly a year ago, I picked up a Mitchell Defense rifle in 6 ARC. I was excited when they started offering this caliber, especially after hearing high praise from Shawn and Nick. An interview with Nathan Mitchell, the company’s founder, sealed the deal, and I ordered one right away.First Impressions out of the box, the rifle looked fantastic, the components were of high quality and I was eager to take it to the range.The rifle ran smoothly, cycling perfectly with or without a suppressor. But when I tested its accuracy my groups at 100 yards were consistently over 3 inches, no matter the ammo. To make sure it wasn’t me, I shot other ARs, including another in 6 ARC, and got sub-MOA groups. I contacted Mitchell Defense, and Nathan himself called me to talk through the issue. He immediately sent an RMA for the upper. His team wasn’t satisfied with its performance either, so they upgraded me to a Proof carbon fiber barrel at no extra cost—a serious step up. Unfortunately, the new barrel had the same problem. I’d get three shots grouped tightly, but two would stray 2-3 inches in random directions. I sent Nathan photos of my groups, and he replied with some troubleshooting tips. Sometime later, when I emailed him to let him know I was heading to the range to try his suggestions, he called again. This time, he said they’d found an issue with certain Proof barrels and sent another RMA. A few weeks ago, I got my rifle back with a new Proof barrel. Last weekend, despite 17-20 mph crosswinds, I shot consecutive sub-MOA groups at 100 yards. Issue resolved. One minor issue, the hand guard is a bit slim, so the gas block set screws touch the inside of the hand guard, but my gunsmith quickly fixed this problem. Also, standard M-Lok screws for accessories like an Arca rail are too long and will contact the barrel. Shorter screws solve this easily. Nathan Mitchell is Mitchell Defense. His commitment to maintaining an open dialogue, multiple upgrades and following through on resolving my issues is demonstrable evidence of his integrity. That level of service, combined with a high-quality rifle at a great value, sets Mitchell Defense apart. If you’re looking for an AR, I highly recommend putting Mitchell Defense at the top of your list.

  • Alpha Omega – Did you know 9×19 = 171?…

  • Joe J – Thoughts on the quality of the luth ARs. Would aero be a better option? Is there a better option in the $500 to $700 for a complete upper?
