No
>2-why do people prefer concealed carry over open carry?
If you were a dindu, who would you shoot first, the guy with the gun you can see or the guy without a gun?
And also because quite a few people who open carry are faggots.

What is a good shotgun for an elderly woman for home defense? I'm mostly looking at something in 20ga that is a semi-auto or single/double break action
>>27806033
I would say a 20ga pump (moss 500 or rem 870). If she really can't rack a slide, maybe look for a weatherby sa-08
Are Mojo Sights any good? I was thinking of getting one for myself for my nugget and one for my dad for his SKS since they say they are really good for aging eyes.
Brother just bought a MAK-90 and wants to swap the stock. He'd like to get a Magpul Zhukov if possible. I know the MAK-90 has a unique slant-cut receiver. What adapters would allow the use of a Zhukov stock?
I've shot a few pistols and revolvers and am looking to finally buy my own. For a beginner, what is a good pistol to start with? I'd also like to learn how to take it apart and clean it?
>>27806649
Do you have a budget and preferred caliber?
>>27806652
Looking to spend no more than $200 this time around. I've shot a 9mm, .44, and .45. For now I'd like to just stick with a 9mm
>>27806676
>no more than $200
>on a handgun
Better beef that up to $400 if you want something decent. With just $200 you're in Hi-Point territory.
>>27806691
Alright, guess I'll save for a little longer then. What would you recommend?
>>27806691
He could probably get a decent used revolver for that.
>>27806706
Something like a Ruger 9E. It's a high-quality pistol for the price. Ruger keeps the price low not by cutting corners or using shit materials, but because it's a more basic version of the SR9 series they've been producing for years, so economy of scale keeps the price down. You can get them online for $350 or in stores for $375-$400.
They're 9mm, come with one 17rnd mag, striker fired, relatively light and thin for their size, have good sights, a manual safety (which is small enough to ignore if you don't like it) and they're reliable.
>>27806709
Like what? Revolvers tend to be more expensive than autos. Even a used Taurus revolver in crappy condition is generally going to cost more than $200.
>>27806763
Awesome, I'll make note of that. Many thanks
>>27806826
You can find a lot of good used pistols in the $350-$400 range as well. Nice used Glocks and M&Ps often sell in that range.
If you don't mind .40, a metric fuckton of used .40s have started hitting the market since the FBI disowned the cartridge. Police and civilians alike seem to be trading in their .40s for 9mm pistols, resulting in super low prices. I've been seeing police tradein Glock 22s (fullsize 15rnd .40) for $300ish all over the place.
>>27806305
AFAIK your options are pretty damn limited. Looked into it once because I was about to buy one but the aftermarket options are absolute shit
>>27806893
Do gun stores generally sell used guns? Or would I have to check online and pawn shops for those?
>>27807002
Most gun stores sell used guns, but some don't. If there's a Cabela's near you, each one has a large inventory of used guns called the "Gun Library" which would be worth checking out. Also, check local gun shows if there are any going on.

>>27806946
Yeah, I know. The only adapter I can find says it works with ACE and Tromix stocks. Does that mean it won't accept normal AK stocks? I find it hard to believe nobody would make an adapter that simply lets the MAK-90 take regular AK stocks.
If you're 19 like me, and want to build your own AR-15... can I buy a lower with a completed stock legally? Or am I not allowed to buy that until I'm 21.
>>27807873
Because the ATF always interprets the law in the most restrictive way possible, you can't buy a lower from an FFL until you're 21 because it's considered a "firearm" and not a rifle, even with a stock.
I'd recommend buying a lower off someone privately.
I want a shower knife.
>inb4 paranoid fucko
Whatever, it's the only time I don't have my gun on me and I don't want to get blacked. I'm considering stainless steel with an oxide finish (probably OKC MK 3 Navy) in a waterproofed sheath. Any other options I should consider?
Say I live in a state where pistols/handguns need to be registered but rifles don't need to be.
If I built an AR "pistol" with a brace and all that, would that be okay? Or do I need to get the AR registered?

1: depends on what kind. Blatantly illegal.
2: because sometimes ya gotta hide your power level. Its not about surviving a fire fight or looking tough, its about having the ability to ward off a sudden attack and run away, a scenario in which suprise is a vital element.

plus open carry is autistic outside of innawoods or rural areas where its considered normal. "Oh im just gonna walk into chili's with an OC glock"
Quit lying its not about defense, you just want people to see you have a gun. Plus it just riles up the antis and converts more on-the-fence types that the antis are right.

its not an AR "pistol" its a pistol. They only exist for the legal purpose of being a pistol, so it would be registered.
Is there a list of guns every /k/ommando should own? I'm going to a gun show this weekend, but I can't think of anything I really need.
While I am aware of the differences between the Mossberg 500, 590 and 590a1 variants, does the tougher build of the 590a1 offer any tangible advantage to non-military uses? I would use it as a junker gun, i would drag it through the woods, use it for HD, and just generally treat it pretty rough.
>>27806706

>>27810226
If you don't really need any gun, get ammo, mags, gear etc for the stuff you have.

Depends heavily on the gun. Hot loads are perfectly fine in some guns, but in garbage AR-15s, Glocks, or some oddball calibers like 6.5 Grendel; you run the risk of catastrophic explosive failure. Do some of your own research first, do not trust 4chan for safety tips.

>>27806033
Gas operated 20 gauge would help with recoil. Doubles and singles will be pretty light. 28 gauge would be ideal but they are uncommon and suitable ammo is expensive.
Could she consider other firearms? At home defense ranges, a revolver in .38 Special isn't a bad choice. Easy to use, easy to make follow up shots.
I know there are people on here that have ordered custom patches from mutinyshop.com. How long did it take to get your order? I ordered one custom patch almost a month ago, and I can't get any response from customer service about it.
with old style stocks without a pistol grip for the trigger hand why do you see a lot of people not wrapping their thumb around the stock and leaving it flat against the hand?
Also what is the correct term for a stock that doesn't use a pistol grip?
>>27811598
Just my opinion, but you're really overthinking this one.
If overpenetration is an issue, corbon makes a frangible round.
If not, even your cheapest wolf will perform.
>>27813239
>The grip area is one that varies widely. A straight grip stock (A) proceeds smoothly from toe to the trigger, giving a nearly horizontal angle for the trigger hand, while a full grip stock (E) contains a separate piece for the grip, providing a near vertical angle for the trigger hand, and is commonly found on modern military rifles, such as the ubiquitous AK-47 and M16 rifle families of assault rifles. The semi-grip (B) stock is perhaps the most common sporting stock, with a steeper angle cut into the stock to provide a more diagonal angle for the trigger hand. Modern target style stocks have moved towards a fuller, more vertical grip, though built into the stock rather than made as a separate piece, and may be considered grip stocks. Anschütz stocks (C), for example, use a nearly vertical grip, and many thumbhole style stocks (D) are similar to full grips in shape.

Pump shotgun question. Why do I keep seeing people lower the weapon to pump? It seems like bad range safety, and requires that they reacquire the target. Is it just to prevent early discharge?
So, are the good historical war image dumps going to /hist/ now, or are they staying here?
>>27815690
Because it feels more natural.
My hand isn't at head-level when I'm masturbating. I typically lower my hands to masturbate, not raise them.
Reacquiring the target is hardly a big deal, because it's a shotgun. You're not aiming for pinpoint bullseye precision. You're spraying a bunch of tiny balls in a barely concentrated area.
Can someone talk me out of buying a 16ga shotgun?
There's one that's been tempting me because of the price. I know it's cheap for a reason, but I can't resist. Once again, it's a 16 gauge, not 12, 20, or even .410. 16ga ammo isn't impossible to find here, but it's slim pickins (ie. it's only slightly easier than .22LR).
Tell me why I shouldn't get this gun.
My aim with a rifle fucking blows. Marine vet coworker told me all I need to do is get a good scope and it will be easy, it's not all practice.
Is that true?
>>27815690
>Why do I keep seeing people lower the weapon to pump?
Undisciplined little bitches.
>>27815913
Nope, not at all.
You don't just slap a scope on your gun and call it a day. You have to properly sight it in. You can't have other people do it for you, because everyone sees a little differently. Properly sighting in a scope can be a bitch to do if you don't know what you're doing.
I know people who got better at ironsights because they hated dicking around with scopes so much.
>>27815904
Ok, think of the happening.
If shit happens, you will need to scavenge ammo. Good fucking luck scavenging 16 ga in a shtf situation. Also good luck stockpiling it.
It's has the worst qualities of the 12 and 20 ga. shotguns. Weaker than the 12 but heavier and more kick than the 20.
If you're poor just buy a pawn shop 12 ga. If you can't handle the kick or want cheaper ammo lurk the classifieds and gun shows for a cheap 20 ga. There's literally no advantage to buying the 16 over those 2 choices.
>>27815937
Well, assuming I learned to do that properly, how much does it help the actual aiming bit? Roughly how many hours at the range would you say it takes to git gud?
>>27815956
>If shit happens, you will need to scavenge ammo. Good fucking luck scavenging 16 ga in a shtf situation. Also good luck stockpiling it.
Just load your own shells. I know a guy who makes fucking 12 gauge x60mm, I sincerely doubt 16 gauge is that tough.
>It's has the worst qualities of the 12 and 20 ga. shotguns. Weaker than the 12 but heavier and more kick than the 20.
It has the best qualities of the 12 and 20 ga. shotguns. Stronger than the 20 but lighter and less kick than the 12.

I totally agree, but your points were bullshit.
>>27816008

Well it is called a DECOCKER anon. As in it safely de-cocks the weapon. If you were dropping the hammer on an empty chamber then why would you need to "safely" decock the weapon. Unless you're one of MUH DRYFIRE fudds that is.
Use your damn noodle anon
I bought a g19 a few months ago and am taking it to the range today to shoot it for the first time. I have never been to a gun range so im wondering whats the right way to carry it/my gear (ear plugs, eye protection, a few boxes of ammo) around. Should I just load it all into a backpack and show up at the indoor range with that?
Any tips for a first time range visit would be appreciated
I'll be going to a shooting range nearby in a couple of hours. It's my first experience shooting guns, or even holding one. I'm prepared to listen to the range safety officer instructions. But I have one question
I'm strapped for cash at the moment, my friend is paying the entry fee if I pay for the ammo. It's his 21st birthday.
I have $50 to dispose of, that isn't going to buy me shit at a range is it?

Thanks for letting me know man, I just wanted to make sure I'm not walking in with practically no money.
>>27819330
sure, as per >>27819136 today is my first time going to the range to so im not an expert or anything. I'm going with a buddy so he should be able to give me the basic etiquette tips plus i can always ask the range officer.
You might want too confirm if you are allowed to bring your own ammo to that range, if so you can usually find 9mm ammo (federal champion, winchester, pmc, perfecta) at Walmart for like $11-15 per 50 rounds or 100 round value packs for $24
According to the website for the place I'm going to, they ask that you bring unloaded firearms in a case, but I'm wondering how to carry the rest of the gear (ear plugs, eye glasses, ammo boxes, etc). Do you think bringing it in a backpack would be sketchy?
>>27819386
>Do you think bringing it in a backpack would be sketchy?
Nah doubtful. People have to carry their equipment in something. You could notify the clerk/RSO prior to bringing in the bag so nobody freaks out.
I had no idea how much ammo would run for, hence the reason I came here to find the QTDDTOT, /o/ has the same thing. I'm just going to be all ears when I walk in, since I have 0 experience. I'd rather walk out missing all targets still in one piece than vice versa.
Have fun today.
How the fuck do I get this safety off? VZ24 btw.

Okay, say that you're looking at two guns. They are the exact same model, except one is blued, and the other is stainless.
What's a reasonable price difference to pay for the stainless version?
>>27819943
Depends quite a bit on the gun, especially with older, collectible shit.
>>27820694
Would it help if I said they were brand new, current-production firearms? Or is that still too vague?
Sorry if my question seems a little dumb, it's just that I'm deciding on a lever-action rifle, and the stainless version is $82 higher than the blued version.
>>27817959
Already have enough leverguns for now.
>>27817445
I do love steel and wood but I also am kinda leaning towards a possible bolt action.
>>27817954
Really dont wanna spend more than 260 or so bucks on a 22lr.
>>27806215
Bumping this.
>>27820847
>the stainless version is $82 higher than the blued version.
That's perfectly reasonable pricing. Get whichever one you think is sexier, or go blued if you're a tightass. Personally, I prefer blued most of the time.

Random ass question. I'm updating my resume, looking for a new job. I'm an NRA certified instructor and range safety officer. Should i put that on my resume? I'm hoping it will show that i have leadership and teaching skills, but i also don't want to spook any anti funs people in the company.
TL;DR should I hide my power level?
>>27822476
Use it.
If they're so retarded they dont understand something like that being a valuable skill then you dont want to work there anyway.
>>27822504
good point, thanks breh
>>27801233
Why aren't anime posters banned on /k/? Do the mods not see that they're all +1 shitposters?
>>27822304
I'm inclined to go for stainless at this point, because 1. I've never owned a stainless gun before, and 2. I've heard that they're easier to clean.
>>27822476
It strongly depends on the job. If you think the skills are reasonably transferable, go ahead. If it actually has nothing to do with the job and you're just looking to pad out your resume, I would exercise caution.
I once wrote that I used to be an oil change technician when I was applying for a supervisor position in retail. The manager looked at me like I was crazy.
>You can work on cars?! Why would you wanna work here?
The answer to the latter is muh economy and times are hard, I had to take what I could get at the time.
>>27822792
>I've never owned a stainless gun
If you keep it polished it will be absolutely gorgeous.
>I've heard that they're easier to clean.
The contrast between grime and shiny metal helps a lot in poor lighting conditions, but the difference isn't major.
>>27822476
If you're in a majority pro-fun area do it, if you're in a libtard cesspool don't. Optimally you would tailor your resume to each employer if possible.
>>27822598
>i want [anime/guns/gays] banned because I don't like them

Good call. If you look up any "how to get a job" type of advice on the internet, almost all of them tell you to avoid explicitly mentioning or implying any of the following on your resume:
>race/ethnicity
>gender
>sexual orientation
>religion
>family status
>marital status
>political views
Guns almost always falls into politics, especially if you're "NRA-certified."
I'm flirting with the idea of moving from Texas to Nevada.
Anyone from Nevada able to give me a run down on Nevada's gun and self defense laws?
i dont know what other boards he frequents, but im trying to get ahold of Autist Beekeeper, got a few questions about starting out keeping bees
Why aren't 9mm and similar pistol calibers pointed the same way 5.56mm of 7.62 are?
What's the gun law in USA for foreigners.
For example if you are on a work visa, can you get a legal gun?
>>27825101
>if you are on a work visa, can you get a legal gun?
Yes.
If you have a visa or are a legal resident alien you have the same gun rights as a full citizen.
>>27825000
Some (namely the Five seveN) do. Most don't because you're trading velocity (or bullet size, but this is less common) for better performance at long distances. This is a fair trade off for rifles because they're going damn fast regardless, and can afford to lose some velocity for better long distance performance. Handguns aren't often designed for long distance, and don't have velocity to spare unless they have an autistically long barrel, so the practice is less common.
>>27825138
After mandatory military service, I don't have a big enthusiasm for guns.
But this is pretty good news, might consider it if I ever move there chasing work. Thanks.
Why is the Five-SeveN never talked about? Is it any good?
>>27825190
>Why is the Five-SeveN never talked about?
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB.
>Is it any good?
FN makes great stuff, but it's not always everyone's cup of tea.
>>27825190
It's never talked about because it became a meme gun after it was shown on SAO II/GGO.
>>27825273
>people watched SAO II
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
>>27823591
Same as texas, only you can open carry. Minor differences in self defense laws.
>>27825330
Most people stuck around for GGO, but quickly jumped ship when ALO was about to start up again.
So a couple months ago, I got babbys first gun (technically), in the form of a Zastava M70 (pic related). Basically a 9mm license built copy of a Tokarev with a thumb safety.
There is another model, the m57a, that is pretty much identical, except it fires the 7.62 Tokarev round. Now I know both are ~$250 guns, but is it possible to swap barrels and maybe springs between the two so I can have a 7.62 m70? Or would that not work and I'd have to pick up an m57a?
>>27825661
Why not buy a real Tokarev if you wanna fire 7.62x25?
Surely it would be easier/cheaper than trying to specifically buy M57 parts to fit onto an M70A.
Why are open bolts a nono on non-nfa items?
I've only heard that they are commonly used on subguns and machine guns. But so are belts which makes me believe its something mechanically but I can't imagine what.
As long as the bolt would lock open after every shot and needing a trigger reset whats wrong?
I realize an open bolt is pretty dumb for a semi auto but I don't need a good reason.
I am here from /pol/ and I am wondering what the fuck a skin-walker is.
>>27827071
Because it only takes a little bit of filing to turn an open bolt gun into a machine gun.
>>27827082
Apparently it's a shape-shifting creature found in the southwestern United States that is capable of mimicking human speech.
What is the I for? I'm assuming its a 25m~ zeroing range?
>>27827278
General combat out to 300 yards, when you don't have the time to fuck with the range because you're being shot at and shit is hitting the fan.
Are all chiappa rhinos chambered in .357 able to shoot .38 spl? Some of the listings say they can take either others just say .357
>>27827859
I've never heard of a .357 firearm that couldn't take .38 special, especially revolvers.
>>27827897
Hmm, frustrating that they label some and not others really ramps up confusion for newbs to the caliber.
>>27827859
Take a look here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8063E0SWbA
This is a video of a guy shooting a Rhino 50DS (this is important, pay attention) with .38 Special rounds.
Now take a look at pic related. This is a screenshot of a Rhino spec chart from the official Chiappa website. You'll find that the Rhino comes in various different barrel sizes and calibers, like .357 Magnum, .40 S&W, and 9mm.
Now look at the very bottom of the chart. There is only one Rhino that is .38 Special only. That one is the 20DS model. Only the 20DS does .38 Special only. The 50DS comes in .357 Magnum, .40 S&W, and 9mm.
But you just saw a video of a guy shooting .38 Special rounds out of his 50DS.
Conclusion: Yes, Rhinos chambered for .357 Magnum can indeed shoot .38 Special.
>>27827929
Oh I knew some could as it's in their official title, but then others were not labeled as such. I figured there might be a generational gap (maybe v1 fucked up or something), but it appears to just be poor labeling as I can find no information that Chiappa has changed the design any.

When and why did local militias fall out of favor in the us? In the early years every town had a militia where every able body was involved, I'm pretty sure some towns still had a militia up through the civil war.
Sup /K/. AUSfag here just wanted to know what WWII era rifles are cheap but still reliable?
What rifle is this?

That's a SCAR isn't it?

It's an AR15 you moron
Hey /k/,
Not huge on guns so I figures this board and this thread would be best for my questions. So the guy that owns the bar I frequent owns a shotgun that's been passed down in his family since the 19th century.
Anyone care to see and possibly ID this thing?

Where can I find a complete M16A2 upper receiver without a barrel and hand guard already installed? I'd like to use my own and don't want to pay more for something I don't need.
Will the Russians ever try to do some more R&D over the 6x49 or the 7.62x45 cartridges and make new weapons to use them? The AK-12 is gonna straight up use the 7.62 NATO instead of the 7.62x54R so is it a dying cartridge? Can there be new production 7.62x54R that's rimless? Has Russia given up and eventually gonna adopt NATO cartridges in their future weapon designs?
So I finally found an AR pistol brace I'm interested in, but I only want to buy a new 10.5 or smaller 9mm upper. Can I buy the pistol buffer tube and new SBR without getting wrecked for constructive intent?

How do I use a boresnake exactly?
INstructions say basically just put it through the bore
But how do I correctly apply bore cleaner? How many times should I be expected to run it through for it to be clean?
>>27833553
>Spray cleaner into bore.
>Pull snek through.
>Repeat until visual inspection shows bore to be clean.
>>27833574
>spray bore cleaner in bore
Normally I would just soak patches in hoppes
But luckily for me I bought some CLP break free spray with the snake, because thats what I suspected I would have to do.
what are these
are they even casings
i found them in a jacket i bought 2nd hand

You can get 90s vintage barely used woodland camo MOLLE rigs for DIRT cheap from places like sportsman's guide. I think I paid maybe $20 for mine. They run large because they were designed to go over body armor, so unless you plan on doing that or over heavy clothing go a size smaller than you think you should be.
>>27834983
Blanks I'd say, nail gun cartridges have colored plastic tips to show how powerful a charge they are.
