If you bought it from FOC, did it come modified to be Canada compliant? The product listing is a little vague. It says that it needs to be modified, but it isn't clear if they've already done it.

Also, is it ok to run the tube extension without installing the included barrel clamp? I would think it'd be fine. I've ordered the Zhukov handguard, so my light will be mounted to that, and I'd rather go without the clamp so I don't need a screwdriver to strip the gun.

Thanks bros

I was discussing rifle lights on a certain weapons board the other day, and the person I was talking to said that the constant-on button on your tape switch should "always be towards you" - and didn't elaborate when I asked him why. Since then, I've noticed in pictures and videos that people do seem to always mount their switches in this orientation, pretty much without exception.

It's always felt more natural to me to mount the switch the other way, with the button towards the muzzle. Am I doing it "wrong"? Any considerations that I've overlooked that make the other way a better setup?

I built a system around this time last year, on a ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 board, with an i7 12700KF and a kit of G Skill F4-3600C18D-16GTZRX memory (2x8GB). I decided to get another identical RAM kit shortly after to move up to 32GB.

The board would occasionally fail to POST with all four sticks installed, and the XMP profile set (3600/CL18). I manually changed the clock and timings to 3200/CL16, and it's been stable for months. Just lately, however, within the past week or two, it's begun to fail to POST again. I was experimenting with the memory just to see what was going on, and when I re-enabled the default XMP, Windows became unstable and randomly rebooted when I was able to PO

I honestly don't know how I did it, but I somehow left a nasty, deep ~6" scratch in my 27" PG27U. I've never damaged a monitor before, so of course it had to be this one, the most expensive one I've ever bought by far.

I'm going to try and repair/minimize the damage to the best of my ability with a Novus plastic repair kit until my replacement display arrives next year, but when it does get here, I don't want to take a chance on this happening again. I've searched for 27" screen protectors on Amazon, but they're all either applied directly to the screen (which I'm averse to), or they claim to filter blue light, which I don't want because I don't want to affect the image quality.

Anybody us

This is probably a dumb question, but it's just for my peace of mind. I just recently had to exchange my laptop at a retailer, and I had of course signed into my Microsoft account on that laptop and set a PIN. Before returning the computer to the store, I re-imaged the disk with the factory image, and I've since changed the password on my account.

Is there anything else I should have done, or should do now, to ensure the security of my account? Is the fact that I had a Windows Hello PIN set on the old laptop a potential security risk? I'm just talking about the (obviously extremely unlikely) scenario that somebody tried to do data recovery on that system, knowing it was used.

I picked up a No4 Mk1 * at a pretty good price at Cabela's a few weeks ago, and I just got my hands on a set of .303 headspace gauges today. It turns out that headspace might have had something to do with the price, because the rifle closes on all of them - Go (0.064), No-Go (0.068), and Field (0.074).

Normally I wouldn't even think about shooting a rifle that closed on a Field gauge, but I was watching a TFBTV video that states that headspace on Lee Enfields isn't something that UK shooters concern themselves with. The host even specifically says that "even if the rifle closes on a 0.074 gauge... there's no safety issue".

Anybody with more experience

I've been using a standard user account for years now, and elevating application privileges as required by entering the password for a separate administrator account. I started doing that back on Windows 7, and I'm wondering, is that still a real security benefit? I'm the only user of the system, and it's a desktop at home, so I'm not concerned about security being compromised through physical access to the machine.

Am I losing any security by making my account an administrator, with UAC set to it's maximum strength? If so, how (privilege elevation exploits that can only execute on an admin account, etc)?
