Dear WLS

• Question from Karl F

  Hey guys,
  I’m working on putting a few AR pattern uppers together and am wondering if there is any standardization in barrel nuts. One handguard had a nut that used one of the parts of my AR armorers wrench, another needed a 1-3/16 wrench which I had to buy since I didn’t have one with the whole for a torque wrench, and the geissele nut needed a proprietary geissele wrench that they didn’t bother including with the handguard and I had to buy separately. Does everyone do their own thing or did I just buy the dumbdumbs that wanted to be different?
  Keep up the great podcast.

• Question from Mike Hawk

  Working on a 9mm pcc build, leaning toward mat9k with a scorpion mag lower, looking for a 9mm can for it, but also want to be able to use it on a few other guns. Any recommendations for a can that will go well on a pcc but also can run on a handgun and ideally work on my 20″ 6.5 creedmoor? Full auto rated for the 9mm is a must since I want to magdump. I know Tom’s got great cans and the wardog k9 and vers 9s look great, but I’m not sure how well those will do for my other uses

• Question from The Guy Next Door

  Good evening, Gentlemen,
  I am looking to update my current carry gun from a Taurus G2C to something biased on the Glock platform that is optics cut and under $400. what I’m looking at is, PSA Dagger, Derya Arms DY9, Ruger RXM, or a Canik Mete SF 4.19. What would your suggestions be?
  Thanks,
  Five stars

  Question from Denny E

  I was listening to episode 665 and you guys did a tier list on pistols and I wanted to put my 2 cents in on the PDP and why I feel it deserves a low tier rating. I put my PDP on consignment at my local gun shop after 2 years of fantastic reliability. But when it comes to disassembly the slide release pins are pressed in at the factory so tight that the Walther forums are full of photos of broken frames and Walther suggests sending frames in to them because so many people have broken frames trying to swap triggers and other internals. To me, if I can’t fully disassemble and repair or clean my gun, I don’t want it. Is this something the cast can agree with?
• Question from Rusty

  If a nipple-sized dick gets bigger when it’s cold, but doesn’t work because man-nipples don’t do anything, would dick-sized nipples be the way to go? Unless. They get bigger when they’re aroused? I guess what I’m trying to say is, what’s your favorite forced-reset trigger/safety for an AK?

  Beretta 1526 Parallelo SxS Shotgun

  Beretta has unveiled the 1526 Parallelo, a unique matched pair of 12-gauge self-opening side-by-side shotguns created to mark the company’s 500th anniversary. The design re-engineers the Marc Newson 486 Parallelo’s streamlined round-body action to incorporate a true sidelock mechanism derived from the SO10, featuring a receiver engraved with flowing wave patterns originating from the gold 500-year anniversary logo that transition into a hand-finished mirror polish. The matched stocks are Grade 5 walnut finished with over 80 hand-applied coats of Tru-Oil, with the pair balanced to a maximum weight difference of 1 gram.
