Any of you /k/ommandos have any horror stories about used guns you bought or almost bought? Here's mine
>looking at used AR's at cabelas because bored
> see colt AR, dont remember the model
> look it over, find rust in the muzzle and up and down the barrel
>also rust in the mag well and on upper reciever
> check price tag
> $1,050
> immediately put rifle down and attempt to control rage
These fucks wanted over a grand for a rifle that was covered in rust and other various forms of filth. Since they zip tie the actions shut I couldnt see the internals but I can only imagine the horror that was inside. Whoever owned this shit before must've stored it at the bottom of a pond and believed that cleaning weapons was a myth. Pic slightly related
>>27925918
>bought a pig trade in USP45
>500ish
>humps the bunk every mag or two and FTE's
>hit up HK
>say they'll take care of it

that's the only neg firearm thing that's ever happened to me.
>>27925918
>cabelas
Found the problem.
Most big box gun stores, when it comes to used guns, are retarded.
I bought a FEG Hi power that I found out, after the fact, had a broken trigger. I had to add metal to it and file/grind it down to get it to work.
I could've just...bought a trigger, but fuck that, DIY.
>>27925918
Whats wrong with surface rust? It's not like rust on the outside of the barrel affects anything except looks.
>Colt AR
>Rust on the Mag well and Upper reciever

????
>>27925918
I wonder if that glock still works.

This is how I know you're stupid
>>27925918
Did that Glock spend some time in a lake or something?
>>27926044
It looks like normal polymer wear after a couple of years.
>>27925918
Buying used in private sale
M48 everything looks pristine, it arrives barrel is so corroded its green in some spots. FUUUUUUCK, was cheap kept it anyway.
Later buy beat to shit and beyond Enfield, rusty mag, spider cocoons in the stock, no.1 bolt head pristine barrel paid 100 syrupbucks not bad.
TL:DR used sales are always a mixed bag so long as you got a good price it doesn't matter much.
/k/ for the M48 should I rebarrel or smooth the barrel and convert to shotgun.
***TROLL THREAD***
>>27925918
I technically didn't buy it and it worked fine but this is still the most terrified I have ever been with a gun so I guess it counts:
>Be 14, uncle Tom in High school
>None of my friends are there
>hang out with these 2 gun nuts (Obligitory Joking Commense)
>everyone in school was terrified of them but they were actually pretty chill guys
>Later that day, in an unused room, skipping class (called teacher a coon the day before, didn't feel like dealing with him)
>These 2 knuckleheads walk in

>Unzips it, pulls out a 12 gauge
>OHSHITNIGGERWHATTHEFUCKAREYOUDOING
>He explains "I'm just trying to prove to my friend the scatter of this thing can destroy multiple objects from a distace"
>Of course what was i thinking?
>He shoots it out the window at something they had set up
>That shit was loud
>School almost instantly pulls alarm
>Evacuation
>Now I have no clue WHY I offered to do this, but I told them "You guys are prime suspects, you should give it to me, I'll keep it hidden"
>The agree
>They give it to me then go hide
>I look around for cops and then run for my life

>HOW, fucking.......HOW
>>27925993
the fact that it can be prevented by wiping oil on metal one time every 6 months is whats wrong
>>27925962
>Most big box gun stores, when it comes to used guns, are retarded.
This is a double edged sword, sometimes they price a valuable firearm much lower than what it's worth because they don't know better.
>>27926092
>/k/ for the M48 should I rebarrel or smooth the barrel and convert to shotgun.
rebarrel it on 6.5x55 for maximum gains
>>27926038
Thought the same thing
>>27926092
was it pitted or just copper fouled?
>>27926276
Its pitted to the point where its difficult to clean now, surprisingly doesn't seem to keyhole tho.

>>27926038
Believe what you want, but Im fairly certain I know what rust looks like and I saw that shit everywhere. Again, dont remember much about the gun but it was definitely a colt and was rusted everywhere. I've seen it happen to M16's I was issued in insanely humid environments. Not all guns are range queens anon
>>27926038
Correction, not rust but corrosion. But at the end of the day shit was still fucked to hell and back
>>27926294
do some long range accuracy tests. if it shoots good, then thees no problem
>>27926092
I hear about canuck guides carrying sawn off shotguns inna wilderness. of you don't have short barreled rifle restrictions you should obrez it
>>27926366
Some of us are idiots, what is that thing and what's it do?
>>27926130
so you carried a shotgat all open like all the way from the unused room to the auditorium?
fuck dude what year was this? Did the kid in the coat write "wrath" on his shirt later and shoot up a library?
ITT OP is a retard. You didn't find rust on an aluminum receiver
>>27925947

that's unpossible

>>27926069
>kekek I Trollle U ;^p
>>27926585
It's the trigger spring.
>>27926579
Its illegal to saw anything shorter than 18.5, but any factory short barrel is a-ok don't ask laws are weird here.
>>27926649
is there a legal workaround or are you basically just fucked if it didn't come from the factory the way you want it?
>>27926555
I may have to but it's more of I wanted a mauser k98 pattern gun so long as it goes bang reliably I have others I like for long range. The re barreling would be more so to a cheaper caliber than 8mm so it would get out to the range more. (8mm is pretty expensive here)
>>27926670
i assume the shotgun conversion you mentioned would be in .410? I've always been intrigued with the idea of a bolt action shotgun
>>27926023
I caught that too. I wonder if these children who make shit up for /k/ even look up the firearms they lie about.
ATTENTION OP!!!
All Colt AR's, always have anodized aluminum receivers. There is no such thing as a Colt AR with a rusty magwell or upper receiver. It just can't happen.
>>27926747
aluminum can corrode too m8, especially if any protective coating wears off. I agree it's suspicious he mentioned rust in the barrel and didn't see the corrosion on the receiver looked different. either way, op is a fag anyway so post used gun stories
>be me
>find an old colt .38 police special and colt .38 detective special

everythingwentbetterthanexpected.png
>>27926703
Probably 410 maybe 28 gauge don't know if its possible. As in having the throat sloped so I would have an permanent extra full choke when the barrel thins out.
>>27926794
Rust doesn't form on aliminum numb nuts. Rust is iron oxide.. Corrosion on aliminum would look nothing like it. So of course there wouldn't be any rust on an upper or a lower..
Fucking retards man.
>>27926859
why you gotta be so so confrontational bruh? maybe OP just saw corrosion and didn't know the difference. either way, post gun horror stories

Aluminum can corrode but it cannot rust.

>Doing really dumb shit in highschool with a couple of losers
I want this to be true. Reminds me of me but my experience was without guns
>>27927268
It won't corrode before the anodizing wears off.
OP is a dumb shit.
>>27925918
You are a dumb piece of shit, do you even own guns?
Also, it's a colt, the only legitimate AR besides an actual armalite. It'll command a higher price regardless of whether the gunsmoke was cleaned off before it was put on the sales rack.
jesus the people who post here

>>27927373
Not him, but that happens often in wet conditions. I stupidly left two of my guns in wet conditions and rust debris from on ran down all over the stock of the rifle and the other rifle below it. I wouldn't put it past the realm of possibility. Of course OP could be lying too but hey, might as well give him the benefit of the doubt.

/k/ - Metallurgy
>>27927438
as long as we're being pedantic, the anodizing is there so that the aluminum isn't exposed to corroding elements. saying anodized aluminum doesn't corrode is like saying steel with paint on it doesn't rust
>>27927438
Salt water will eat right through anodised aluminium; that's why boat fittings are marine grade stainless steel, not a cheaper aluminium alloy.
>>27927461
Aluminium is protevted by a thin layer of aluminium oxide, that is to say : corroded alumium. The oxide forms an impervious barrier that O2 can't get though.
Anodising is is when we use chemicals and an electric current to thicken that layer and often add a pigment.
Any liquid that reacts with the oxide layer will cause massive corrosion, like saltwater.
Anodising is more like bluing than paint.

And now that I know more about guns, I might just get a shell prses and make my own after taking one of those shells apart for reference.
everythingwentbetterthanexpected.jpg
>>27928723
PS, I might try to find another one that cheap and easy to fuck around with, like cut off the barrel and stylize the stock, because apparently old beligan shitguns will never be valuable anyways.
>>27928723
Are the barrels laminated? It still may not be a great idea to put a lot of shells through it, even specialty BP stuff. Rust can form between the layers of steel in laminated barrels and significantly weaken the overall structure. Your call obviously whether you'd like to shoot it, just something to consider with old budget shotguns
>>27928868
define laminated barrel, I haven't heard of this in my travels.
T'aint damascus steel, if that what you be meaning.
I bought an AR and I used it.
>>27926029
It does. It was a torture test and also compared it to the USP. This was one of the reasons I drank the kool-aid and got a G21

Cool shit.
>>27926937
You know you can gauge that to a reasonable degree of accuracy with tape right?
>>27929929
sauce? i have a nugger that has never been headspaced
>>27930166
Google gives this
Generaly, the "masking tape method" is an unfired round, (be careful, or remove firing pin etc.) 1 masking tape disk on the case head and the action closes is "GO", 2 masking tape disks on the case-head and the action closes is "FIELD", and 3 masking tape disks on the case head, and the action closes is "NO-GO"…
The real bummer though is that if you close on two tape disks, all you've really earned yourself is more checking. The amount of play in the "FIELD" category with the tape layers is too much to be sure. You don't know exactly where you stand until you try some real gauges.
My rule of thumb is that unless I can only close the action on "GO", or no tape at all, I need to do a proper check with gauges or a gunsmith.
>>27930288
cool thanks anon
>>27926665
I think you may be able to buy a shorter aftermarket barrel. don't quote me on that shit tho
>>27926665
>>27930461
Yeah thats the case I thought it was clear before.
By factory barrel I mean any barrel made in a factory not the one it came with from factory.
Say you buy a 18.5" 870, you can get factory 8.5", 14", 15" etc. barrels for it thats fine.

>>27928936
OP, hear me out here.
you COULD weld the action shut and make your own paper black powder shells. roll 30 or so grains of black power (this is a very light load) with a percussion cap in the bottom of it. add some shot and drop it down the barrel and tamp it down with a wooden dowel.

>aluminum can corrode too m8, especially if any protective coating wears off.
>I'm a fucking retard, the post
Aluminum forms an oxide on the very, very top layer almost instantly but that layer prevents any further oxidation. Aluminum will never rust away on its own unless it's left in a caustic or hostile environment like the ocean or some shit. The oxide is also resistant as fuck to abrasion.

EXACTLY, the mag spring is for a .308 mag so it will fit in, a .308 mag! so he's implying it is a .308 Glock. Hence, ".30 +P+P+P+P+P+P+P+P+P+P+P+P+P"

i suspect the problem is aluminum alloys. i've seen plenty of old aluminum kept in climate controlled areas corroded to hell.
>>27930966
>corroded to hell
When you say corroded, what exactly do you mean? All aluminum you've ever looked at is "corroded" because it forms oxides almost instantly. What you saw was probably due to contamination of the surface from tooling. Stainless steel will do the same thing if it's been ground or wirewheeled with steel brushes/stones embedded with normal steel. That's why you should have two different sets of stones for knives.
>>27930676
I don't rememner what I got for it because I kept adding boxes of ammo to get my one buyer to say yes. It shot fine. Just a nasty refinish.
>>27926955
Your friend is a major bro. I had a roommate in college who pissed on the floor of the dorm drunk one night and all he did was get his trailer trash girlfriend to do a half-ass job cleaning up for him.

that's why you shouldn't give a single fuck about some hipster's and check your guns before you buy. It's GA so what are they going to do arrest you?
Also, do you have a barrel and receiver vise for FAL builds? I'm looking to rent one for a build I might have coming up and I don't want to have to spend the money to buy a setup to do just one build.

trigger spring, essentially controls the trigger weight. Some fudds will sand a little off to make the pull lighter. Whoever had the fucker before the dude I got it from took a grinder ot the damn thing, cut it in half, then welded it back together and re-fucking-ground it.
I never took a pic of the other side but it was blue being heated.

This is true. I've gotten a cherry K98k for $90 and a very good condition M1917 for $600 because they didn't know what they had.

>Salt water will eat right through anodised aluminium
Nigger are you insane?
I worked at an anodizing shop for about 8 months, and a solid half of our business was to an oceanographic institute for use in their submersibles and other underwater gear.

Explanation for retards:
Thin layer of oxidation on the top of the aluminum prevents more oxygen from reaching the surface and causing actual structural damage to the part.

>OP specifically states mag well and upper receiver
>Hurr magwell and upper receiverobviously = pins, springs, trigger mechanisms, return springs, bolt carriers, bolts, ejectors, gas tubes, charging handles, buffer tubes, dust covers and barrels
Check yourself, numb-nuts.

Bolt Carrier is phosphated usually.
Bolt is also usually.
Ejectors ditto.
Dust Cover is Anodized Aluminum.
Charging Handle is Anodized Aluminum.
Buffer Tube is Anodized Aluminum.
Barrels are usually chrome lined and phosphate.
Gas Tube is stainless.

I just picked up a Beretta AL391 Teknys from cabelas that was priced way under its value. They likely didn't know the AL391 series has multiple variations that differ in cost and priced it at what their computer said the base model goes for. Plus the guy working there thought the tang was loose and a gunsmith would have to fix it, so he took off $50. Turned out the rail is removable, not soldered on so I fixed the loose movement with plumbers tape. In all, their lack of knowledge saved me $700

And i worked as a marine mechanics offsider, seawater will corrode the shit out of ally, why do you think the oceanographic mob bought so much? They weren't eating it.
