Constantly bombarded by liberal to unironic college communist flooding my normiebook feed with "We need common sense laws" despite none of them ever purchasing, owning or even shooting a gun before.
That, and the lack of company from the opposite sex, and work being a constant shit fit of dindus trying to score percocet or being super entitled is really getting to me.
At least I have rotations starting July, so I can get away from work for a month, and I am going to see my folks later on and shoot my sks with them.
Not that hot but making the best of it.
>>30364875
Just waiting till I'm finally enlisted, They've kicked me back a year. Might travel, score some foreign pussy, but for now all I do is work out, mooch off of my parents and be bored. Got a long year ahead of me.

>>30364875
My grandfathers brother died last friday, he was the closest thing i had to a grandfather on that side of the famliy because my actual grandfather died in '61
And my other grandfather(he is a bastard but his father was super fucking cool) on my mothers side is going on a trip by himself up the apalachian trail, he plans on dying via exhaustion or exsposure.
My grandma on my moms side is completely blind but lives by herself in a hard part of town, we would move her but she is independent there and when you take away an old folks independence they usually die pretty quickly after.
My other grandmother no my dads side is depressed but she still has the energy to be mean so im not worried about her going anytime soon.
aside from that, i think im fine.
>>30365017
Great. Now I'm a bored person that's probably never gonna feel the comfort of having a gun by my side in my own home.

Staring at bills that outnumber my bank account by a staggering amount.
>>30364875
Could be worse. Just finished a commercial dive school, moving all my shit back home, got some job opportunities down in the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico. But I just got out of a year long relationship, which isn't bothering me much, but all the way through it I'd have sporadic dream/nightmares about my previous girlfriend I'm definitely not over and ended on bad terms. I still have the dreams, don't know what to think. And I just built a 300 black out pistol I've only got to shoot once and haven't even sighted in the vortex sparc 2 on, and might not for who knows how long. How you doin op?
>>30364875
Feeling the price of .308 pretty badly.
On the plus side, I've lost 50lbs and I didn't have to settle for a PTR.
>>30364875
Pretty good. Gotta mow the lawn tomorrow. I dream of a riding mower but push mowing gives me needed exercise. I just hate the humidity.
select all images with grass. I'm switching back to legacy capcha
>>30365074
Is a Rhodesian fal really worth the price hike from a ptr 91 gi? I doubt I'll buy one anytime soon, but when I do I plan on it being either of those.
Bad. Got to wake up in 4 hours to go to work. Probably going to be late.
But good because I've got a few days off to go camping with my bros.

Bad. My battle buddy pupper is a the vet hospital. Vet will let me know how he is in the morning.
Hanging in about as good as I can.
Wife quit her job to focus on school (one year left on her nursing degree). I grossly underestimated how much easier having her shitty $12/hr income was to running the house. My car shit the bed and I gotta pull the engine (which might be slightly over my head but i'm trying to do it in the drive way anyways) so i'm borrowing moms car in the mean time, thank god she doesn't really drive anymore and can lend it to me. Wife's car is old as well and has the CEL on for what I think is a intermittently bad injector but it's running mostly fine for right now.
Got some issues with the house i'm trying to get sorted. Like no one makes breakers for my breaker box anymore. It really needs to be replaced but I don't really have the money to do that so I keep buying over priced used ones on ebay. The kitchen refrigerator is fucked, need to replace that, using the garage refreigator in the mean time.
Haven't gotten out shooting or /out/ for a while now since im working all this overtime to keep the bills paid.
Only thing keeping me going is how much better it be when my wife finishes school and we can finish fixing up this dump and sell it to move way out of the city.
>>30365105
Outside of historic value the PTR91 is a better weapon over all due to some modifications they made to the original tooling
>>30365105
It's not a real Rhodie, its an IMBEL garage build that I bought from a dude in Houston for the grand price of 900-some-odd dollarydoos.
I just got some car paint from Sherwin Williams and slathered it on with a boot sock so that I could shitpost on /k/.

>tfw 1 week until I find out whether I buy a gun next month or 1 year from now.
>>30365150
Hm. Makes sense and might make the difference. Any idea what's a fair price for either of them?
>>30365157
Well that's disappointing, still looks great though. I'd consider doing the same thing if I don't end up with a Rhodesian one.
>>30365143
get a working fridge on craigslist, should be in the free to $50 range.
>>30365175
I got my PTR91 a billion years ago in a pre Obama world so what I paid does not reflect current pricing.
Not sure on the FAL at all since when I did my research I went right for the PTR91.
To be honest, a 308 AR stomps both on all fronts besides looking fucking awesome.
>>30365187
For sure, and that's the plan but i'm working 6 days a week right now. I just don't have the time to do this.
right now all my time off is spent working on my car because at some point mom is gonna want her car back.
Only good thing right now is I bought my house outright so no mortgage.
>>30365199
Really? I would've figured the AR would require a bit more maintenance? Right now I'm more concerned with rugged reliability than sub moa accuracy.
Not bad at all. Only thing I can think of is that I'm in a bit of a /fit/ plateau, stuck at 194. Want to keep cutting. Guess I just have to go harder. Guns are all looking good, though, and I'm feeling happy after hearing that all 4 gun bans got turned down.
>>30365223
The whole AR being unreliable is a meme. If you put together a quality AR10/308 AR it's gonna be just as reliable as the PTR 91, be lighter, and more accurate.
Esp you looking at a FAL, they are not as reliable as /k/ makes them out to be.
>>30365245
Clearly I'll have some more research to do, thanks for the tips.
>>30365175
Going to step in again and shill for the FAL.
Honestly there isn't much difference between the two. Accuracy will not vary widely between a PTR or an FAL (around 2MOA avg), both have similar length and weight, and of course both shoot 7.62REALFUCKIN'NATO, although in my opinion the FAL handles the recoil slightly better. Both are similar prices at entry level, although if I were you I would look for a kit built FAL before resorting to DSA.
Also, >>30365199 speaks the truth. An AR10/SR25/LR308/whatever will objectively be a better rifle in most scenarios. For ruggedness though, you can't beat the PTR with that solid roller delayed blowback or the FAL with its highly-adjustable gas system. Pick your poison.
Plus, you get that cold-war swag and all the kids at the range will give you funny looks because they've never seen a rifle that wasn't an AK or a tacticool AR.
>>30365245
I'd say they're about equal in terms of reliability, with the PTR having a slight advantage due to lack of a gas system. My FAL chews through all my shitty ZQI and Monarch with reckless abandon.
>>30364875
About to go to not!basic as a MS2 because I'm transferring in college and I have 4 years of JROTC experience. I have almost no idea what I will be doing. It's like flying down the highway at a hundred miles an hour with a piece of cardboard under my ass

Yeah just poke around on 308 forums. Try and stay away from FAL or PTR focused forums because they will hive mind a ton.
>>30365271
PTRs are built like a tank but it also weighs as much as one. Plus you don't get any more relaible for all that weight. Esp if we are talking cheap ammo.
As far as looking cool? it sure does! just don't take it to a 25yard pistol range like a faggot.
kittens are doing OK and I got an MP-15 before this current shitstorm.
Currently have 10K in the bank and am looking at A&P aircraft mechanic classes.
Doing alright over here.

My slip from the specialist-doctor was denied again by the Defense Forces. Since I have a allergy to shellfish they want a "100%" guaranty that I will not suffer any serious allergic reactions. The doctor is out of town for now, but the nurse i talked two said that it is not looking good. I might not be able to follow my dream of joining the military. All because I did not lie the first time I applied. So learn from me kids. If you don't die when eating shellfish, just lie and say you don't have an allergy. Just lie.

Liberalism is like chinese water torture.
My friend since elementary school who has owned rifles since he was 16 was even on jewbook talking about how gun laws "need to change"
Fucking hell man, I feel like I stepped into an alternate universe. The world has gone crazy.
Feel kinda distant, nothing really makes me happy anymore, not gaming, not going to the range, hell not even my girlfriend of the last two years who honestly has been the best thing to ever happen to me.
Very Iritable the slightest thing will set me off, can't seem to blow off the stress/anger
Wanna go see someone about it but I'm contracted to leave for basic in October and don't want to fuck that up,

So you go to a pistol range with your 308? You are caner please die.
You are worse then the dummies that show up with a nugget because the dummies with the nuggests can't shoot as fast.
hand is in a cast, and i might've damaged a tendon which means i'll probably miss my countries next military intake, and trying to get into new hobbies but don't have enough money to do so

>>30365389
Because it's perfect for shitposting.
>>30365394
I still go to the 200yd line for target shooting, they just don't let you practice standing shots there. Also not a pistol range, it's a private shooting bay that happens to be 25yds long, so I'm not really bothering anyone else. Though I doubt that matters to you.
Feeling good man. I have about two guns but hey that's good enough? Just transferred from a junior college after I got my AS degree. Going for financial planning as my BA.
Not gonna lie, I still live at home. But I have a job and a great future. I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out .
>>30365419
Being 25yds makesit de facto pistol range. The only reason you are not full blown AIDS cancer is because it is an outdoor range.
I have guys show up with 308s/54Rs at fucking indoor 25 yard ranges and even with double ears on i'm still walking out with my ears ringing

>>30365440
Yeah, that sounds pretty bad. At least I have 50 yards and a concrete wall between myself and the nearest human being. Can't imagine ever using a 308 at an indoor range, though. Your ears have my sympathy.
>>30364875
I'm okay.. Depressed, but holding.
I'm that anon that works at walmart with the literally retarded boss if anyone remembers me at nights.
Thinking of buying a 1917 US Enfield when I get the chance. What do they usually run?
>>30365456
Thanks anon, I might have been a little rough at first. Just got a bad taste in my mouth. It's always a younger kid, like early 20s doing this dumb shit.
I mean 556 is bad enough at an indoor range but with double ears I can survive but the 308 stuff gets me feeling physically ill.
>>30365474
I completely get you there. As a younger gun owner, I hate it when the people in my age group are discourteous dirtbags because it gives ALL young gun owners a bad rap. It was hard enough getting into guns in the first place with liberal parents, having the gun community already predisposed against me was just icing on the shit-cake.
All is forgiven, btw.
>>30364875
Ok I guess but my AR build isn't going as smooth as I had foreseen, mostly because I'm not exactly wealthy but I keep spending money on other hobbies first

Gun laws in my country are getting worse every two years. My local shooting range became a fucking mudhole due to a flooding.
So I have to train with a 25m pistol lane.
Only able to see my girlfriend every 2nd weekend.
On the plus side:
Stopped fapping. Every time I feel the need I go running/lifting. I'm now fit as fuck.
Read some really good books lately.
Got 2 bros into trad. bowhunting. Best feeling ever hunting as a pack.

Lol you're supposed to go to Fossil Creek from the Camp Verde entrance, the Payson entrance is closed. I was just there 4 days ago it was amazing, make sure you buy your permit and print it out beforehand and bring plenty of water.
In hospital after tearing abdominal internal oblique. But consider myself lucky, no back injury from accident. Hopefully an East German AK is in my future. Trying to stay positive

Well, I just PCSed to Korea today. Everything is strange and foreign to me. Luckily, the people are nice and the NCOs are friendly. Exited to be here despite being separated from my funs.
Pretty bad, bought a gun parents flipped out confiscated it and am now on the verge of debt
>Ex-Airborne-Infantry Fag Here

i know niggers.
Anyway, not good. I was injured in the field, blew out my knee and had to be medivacced out. Just fucking around on base. Two days later my FOB in Khowst was attacked.
Shit was fucked, I feel like I could have been there to help them, and I wasn't there to do my goddamn job.
Haven't let myself live it down since then.
I'm an alcoholic now, I can't hold a job. I'm pushing 28 and all I have is fucking Army experience, a knee-brace, and a lot of booze in my system. I can't get hired anywhere. My life is fucked.

You sound like a giant pussy with shitty earpro. I shoot all the time at an indoor range with people firing rifles, and with double ears I have no problem.

One of the only people on youtube who had fun with their guns, I miss him so much
Failed my first year at the uni (engineering, not over yet but I know I'm not gonna make it) still trying to gather my courage to tell my parents.
I think I could have made it if I worked harder but I just don't have enough motivation. It was never my idea to go to the uni, it was my parents expectations, especially my mom.
She was expecting me to go to uni since I remember, she was talking about it even when I was fucking 4, as soon as I got in she started bragging to her friends and even fucking empolyees at a grocery store how "smart" her son is.
Fucking everyone I know is thinking I'm going to be an engineer now, even including my gf parents
But the thing is I still was (and I still am) a fucking kid when I decided to go and I'm not that smart. This year made me realize that this shit is fucking boring (no matter how this sounds) and I don't want to end up in a job I don't like no matter the pay. I would much rather work as a range instructor or gun shop employee even if the pay won't be as high and I'm not delusional, I know I won't be dealing with guns all the time. Keep in mind I'm not from US.
But try telling that to your mother who was expecting you to graduate uni since you were born. Shit sucks. She didn't even graduate herself, sometimes I feel like she is projecting her failed dreams on me.
Chemotherapy is wrecking my body, especially my digestive system. I've lost 30lbs in about 2 weeks. I do nothing but pop pills and sleep all day. I haven't been to the range in over a month, and I doubt I'll get to go any time soon because all this shit is only supposed to get worse before it gets better.

maybe he meant all the laws needed to be removed and those who passed them imprisoned.
Bored with life. Work is extremely boring but pay is decent for what it is. Currently no guns because parents are anti fun. Building AR and waiting on some parts before I give parents ultimatum about letting me have fun in the house or I move out. Dad definitely wouldn't want me to move out and would prefer if I stay home to save money. Hopefully the ultimatum can change his mind.
The last time you asked me that I told you my girlfriend of a few years up and left the house after having sex and didn't say anything.
I still haven't heard from her but all of her stuff is out of the house now, gone while I was at work.
It sucks but I get paid tomorrow and one of my friends asked if I wanted to go to the range on Saturday so, that's a silver lining I suppose.
Other than that, work has been alright, and my lesbian friend said that she'll hook me up with someone if I want her to.

Were there problems beforehand?

Horrible. The goddamn politicians in Delaware voted to create an NCIS check delay, and extended it to 30 days. Its now on the governor's desk, who literally tries to mimic NY. This comes just a week after 6 women working for the state defrauded it for over $1 million, got caught and sentenced, and kept their jobs. They also just gave 1,600 illegal immigrants drivers licenses, whom cannot read/write/speak English.
>>30367120
Best to tell them now. They'll understand.
Not well I'll admit that, I kinda don't want to split from my friend in the next two weeks and I'm attempting to find a way to spend time with her before I leave for college. However I have no method of communication with her because I'm void from social media and don't even have her number.Another thing to note I'm not going to be allowed outside communication during fall semester. I don't want to distance away from her because I know she sees me as a good friend despite our lack of communication and I'm not going to make this post any longer justifying that.
So I'm going to give it my best shot to find her and honestly I'm worried I might tread on the friendships of others by using them as a way to simply find her. Fuck being a anti-social mother fucker who refused to use social media or get peoples contacts is now biting me up the ass.

Taking a shit right now, it's the only break I give myself from studying besides sleeping and eating. By 11 tomorrow my exam will be fine and I'll be free! Gonna get SO high.

Alcoholic, underloved, over-strained vet.
Approaching Taxi Driver levels of grandeur.
after last week I'm feeling much better. I should have seen it coming, but those 4 bills getting shot down really helped. thankfully, most of my normiebook friends either ignore my progun rants or somewhat agree with me (thank you Based AZ) so I'm not too buggered about that. also the Enfield revolver I ordered is coming in today, so I'm hyped for that.
best friend's dad is having issues though, so that worries me a little. I feel lonely too, I'm almost graduated college and have no romantic life to speak of. no potential wife lined up, haven't even had a fling since new years, and I don't expect it to get better. I want to get /fit/, but lack the motivation.
but, I can still shoot every other week and my beautiful AR goes another day without being opressed by smelly hipsters and their hippy fantasies, so it's not all bad.
>>30364875
Just got CCP, work is good - getting new clients every week, hasguns and ammo, has waifu who loves the D, camping this weekend with all the funs. Can't complain at all.

FPBP
Enjoying my two days off before it's back to work for a twelve-day marathon because of a schedule fuck-up that had nothing to do with me until they needed someone to cover the unassigned shifts.
So yay me.
>>30367393
No, now is definitely not the time since I'm in the middle of my final exams.
She is really serious about it. I remember her saying that in case she dies and I drop my studies she is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. Probably a joke but I don't know anymore at this point.
>>30365981
>I can't shake this feeling of wanting to be a warrior off.
Same.
Two weeks until I go to San Antonio for Air Force basic training. I'm so ready for this. I chose to enlist open electronics, which means I will make a list of Electronics related jobs and the Air Force will give me whatever is available, very likely the first or second job on my list. I'm going to put down Cyberspace Support jobs, like Cyber Transport Systems (Network Admin) or Airfield Systems. If I am a Network Admin in the AF for a long time (say, 20 years, which means you get retirement pension), and I get a lot of certifications, I could make a shitton of money doing the same thing as a civilian. The travel opportunities are fucking amazing, too. Hopefully I'll get stationed overseas in Europe or East Asia.
>>30367417
You should probably get off 4chan and get a job to support yourself.
I feel fine.
Though the boredom is almost crippling
>>30367120
anon, try a degree that suits you. it may not be engineering, but your mom expects you to get a degree, not get hired. who knows, maybe you'll get lucky
>>30365981
>I can't shake this feeling of wanting to be a warrior off
Same, but I'm kinda afraid of dying or becoming a cripple even if the odds are low.
Call me a pussy but it's all fun and games until you lose a limb or life.

At least I've managed to get all the needed parts for my STGW.57 build, and get our lathe fixed so I can finish my semi-auto Sten. Now all I need is time to work on them.

Fuck yes.
>>30367625
>your mom expects you to get a degree, not get hired
Expects both.
>try a degree that suits you. it may not be engineering
Engineering was my choice since I could specialize in something related to weaponry. I can't think of anything esle that might suit me.
University is not for everyone and I feel like it's just not for me.
Bretty gud :D
I'm not sure if I want to become a lawyer or finish out my criminal justice degree and get my commission in the Army. I am torn between making good money or practicing law or kicking down doors for Uncle Sam. Im trying to get in better shape for Army ROTC. I'm going to see my brother soon and my girlfriend is helping my family move. I met some new friends and go shoot with them. I realized how expensive it is to shoot my FAL, but it totally worth the buy. I'm trying to buy a pistol and quit my shitty job at the same.

So here I am now, want to get into guns but Ausfag so fuck knows what's happening with our laws. On the upside I have a couple good friends that don't live too far away and got back into archery, social life is mostly nonexistant though
>>30367757
Be wary of a law degree. Some of the guys I know ended up in dead-end public defense jobs, and they're on food stamps. Everybody thinks they'll make buckets as a lawyer, but the truth is there's a surplus of them at the moment.
>>30364875
Could be better
My sleep schedule is fucked, I'm late to work almost everyday, college is gonna start up again and I'm pretty sad about that.
My sex drive is shot
I don't know why
It's getting depressing
At least I'm building an ar that hopefully won't become banned should clitton be inaugurated.
I'd feel like shit ifut weren't for my boyfriend
>>30365999
Its pointless man, trained for 2 years to be on a patrol team in towelstan get there and I get ripped off my time to work 12 on 12 off nightshift at an ECP while my friends go hit IEDS and get shot at.... now I will have to quench my Thurst in some shit country I have no cause in...like the Ukraine or with the kurds.
Why did this happen to me? Everything is just a pile of shit man...the military is bullshit
>>30367066
I thought about that too man, I just don't know if I can do another go in the military....

My only real silver lining is that I if I can get through this shit hole of a month, I can probably get through anything
>>30367368
Nah, it was totally out of the blue.
Shit's pretty good. Bought a house with more acres than we know what to do with back in April and I'm trying to figure out how to best build the backstop down at my personal gun range. Getting about 10 pictures of deer per night on my trail cam and it seems like the guy who owned the property before me built (sturdy) wooden deer stands in the right places. Work from home programming job so I do about 5 hours of work per week while getting paid well. Garden is doing OK. Wife was in the hospital but it seems like she's doing good now. All in all so happy to be out of an apartment in a small city.
>>30368098
Ditch your histrionic girlfriend, quit your cuck job, buy a new bike, tell your faggot friends they can't use you anymore, and build a your own suppressors instead of letting the ATF shit all over you like everyone else in your life.
For the first time in a long time, I am feeling ok. I dropped out of college two years ago because I just couldn't shake the feeling I was wasting my money and just spinning my wheels. Been an unemployed lazy fuck for two years. Parents split because my dad raped my mom while drunk, but turns out they only stayed together for my brother and I for fifteen years anyway. Kinda hard to not feel like it's our fault they were so unhappy for so long. Out of nowhere, I met the girl of my dreams and am 4 days away from going to Navy RTC. I finally feel like I'm doing something to build a future, not just for myself, but for her.

If you want to feel better, accept that the POTUS election has already been lost and focus on local/congressional races instead

>>30365999
this is literally me
Not well, not well indeed, but it will be better soon, I wouldn't worry about it.
Had a decent paying job that I quit because it was a dead end with a shitty cunt of a boss. Coming up on one week of funemployment, and even though I've finally done a bunch of fun/meaningful stuff that I enjoyed but stopped enjoying/doing because of work I'm feeling like a lazy sack of shit. Still trying to figure out what I should be doing with my life and it feels like I'm on a treadmill.
Overall I'm pretty fortunate though. Some of you guys are going through way tougher stuff, and I hope you pull through.

Could be worse. My sex life has been pretty shit lately, and I haven't been to the range since March, and CMP is sold out of Garands, but I'm working and the bills aren't over my head. I'm making some progress lately on one of my /k/ related projects though.
Pretty shit desu

>>30367239
It was pretty easy since the war is "winding down" for NATO forces. I was mostly in Kandahar doing gate guard (pretty lame, I know. I'm a leg), but I did manage to do a few missions with a few SF and POLSOF teams. We did see some combat though.
New job coming up, so there's always that.
But I fractured my foot today, just before my Holiday starts, so that kinda sucks. Currently killing the pain with a few beers and a single malt, because the doc didn't prescribe anything stronger than advil for it.
My new Xonar Essence STX II+ Brand new High-end headset+ Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" on .flac helps too.
All in all, doing alright despite the pain of a pulverized bone in my foot.

Shit lad, find an "engineering" degree in something related to firearms
Then work part time at your local sporting shop like Big 5 (or your local Bongistani outdoor shop like Humphrey's Colonozation Enthusiasts or what you have over there) and try and work with guns or knives or camping supplies.
Family is happy, and you're happy
Or just work at a gun shop and tell your family it's your life and they should respect that
