Didn't see one in the catalog so let's have one. Questions that don't deserve their own thread thread.
When I'm buying a gun online, like through Atlantic Firearms, do I buy it as myself and have it sent to the FFL of my choosing, or do I have the purchase done by the FFL of my choice?
>>28510117
Buy it as yourself, ship it to the FFL.
>>28510117
The couple times I've done it I bought it myself and had it shipped to the FFL.
>>28510165
>>28510170
Do I need to talk to the guy at the FFL location beforehand?
Is Ruger Mini-14 a decent alternative to AR-15? Have to jump through hoops to get an AR-15 in my country. Any specific stock I should get for it?
Does anyone have any photos of what Vietnam era tiger stripe camo looks like with desert boots? I'm wondering if I should get brown or black boots.
From the other QTDDTOT thread, I'm the guy that had the problem with his Mosin. Turns out it was the yellow tip ammo I was using; the bottom of the cartridge is thicker than the bare tip surplus stuff I tried, which cycled flawlessly. Just wanted to thank my /k/ommandbros for the advice.
>>28510195
Yes you should go in with the information of who you're buying it from (ie: email/fax number)
Ask if they will do a transfer, (they'll say yes as long as you're willing to pay their fee) and they'll send who you're buying from their FFL info.
Then buy the gun online and have it ship to the FFL
I got a 5.56 NATO ammo box. What's the square metal ring near the clasp?
Is this gun reproducible? Can anyanon identify this please?
>>28510996
It might be the lighting, but I think that's a crossbow.
>>28511077
Yeah that's a crossbow.
>>28510945
You can hold it from there like a handle or use it as leverage to open the box
A buddy of mine wants a gun, just to keep in the house, never plans on taking it to the range.
>yeah, i think ill get a glock
I said, "seems like a waste of money, why dont you get a hi-point?"
>i might not plan on using it, but when i do, id like it to work
I said, "it might be made cheap, but only the stress points need any kind of craftsmanship, it'll be fine"
>fuck that
Am i wrong? I need validation, or a second opinion.

thats depends on what rifle you are talking about. guns like the BFR should handle factory ammo just fine, i believe level 2 (marlin and winchester rifle) loads, just don't throw ruger level reloads through it and you'll be fine.
>>28510263
Try to get a 5.56/.223 one. It will hold up better. As far as it goes, just a scaled-down M-14
>>28511644
Single stage press?
From my experience, lee single stage, a single block of wood, like a 2x4 works to mount the press and the powder thrower. Use 2 c-clamps to secure it. Make sure you cut a block out from under the press though, think of a dresser drawer, to catch the primers. That shit backed up on me.

Assuming those are 12 inch targets, and you're firing from a handgun, nothing wrong with that at all. I hate to admit it, but that's better than me
what the FUCK are the current restrictions on purchasing an AR within CT? I'm reading legislation and it makes my eyes water. Can someone who owned an AR before the '13 ban sell that AR within the state?
Everything says "transfer to a FFL", but can that FFL then sell it to a CT resident?
So imagine this. A single shot, break barrel shotgun. I saw the stock off. Am I now good to shorten the barrel as much as I'd like?

That's a short barrel shotgun, which is an NFA item, friend.
>>28512323
That's what I thought.
>>28510263
If you want to shoot 5.56 and you can't have an AR, chances are you can't have an AK either so you're basically left with the Mini by default.
It's not bad or unreliable or anything, basically the only complaints about the new ones is there's not much aftermarket accessories, magazines are expensive, and the rifle is overpriced compared to budget AR builds.

Are Solvent trap kits legal?
My understanding is that they're only illegal when they're modified for to become suppressors, but as long as they're left as-is from the manufacturer they're ok.
what are some good, informative /k/ related youtube channels?
>>28513066
Alright, I was confused because of that ATF ruling from the 80's saying that having suppressor parts/wipes was illegal. But I guess that's only if the parts sole purpose is to be used in a suppressor.
If I were to file a Form 1 on my solvent trap, would it be worth-while or do they fail pretty fast, and I'd be better off buying a quality suppressor.
>>28512364
Just make one
>>28513024
>>28513024
1. why would you want a 'solvent trap' if not to convert it to a suppressor?
2. what is 'intent'
>I like my dog too much to buy one of these and have him get shot.
>>28513225
That's my intent, my intent is to use it as a solvent trap.
>>28513233
I have a solvent trap. Its a microfiber cloth. traps solvent just fine. No threaded adapters needed. Just one more thing for a 3-lettered government agency to sodomize you with.
>>28513131
it would fail pretty fast and the filter would be the serialized suppressor, buy a baffle suppressor.
>>28513225
um, for trapping solvent? they are ostensibly for attaching a container for catching the gunk sprayed off your brush bristles when vigorously scrubbing your barrel. it's only a suppressor when it has a hole in the end.
>>28513263
Accept it's only illegal if it's modified to be used as a suppressor. It's legal to own if you use it as an actual solvent trap.
Anyone got a 22/45 Lite? How do they like it? Worth it?
>>28513289
ya, you stick with that. I wouldn't want to have a threaded barrel, an adapter, and an oil filter all on the same bench it could be considered a part and intent.
I wouldn't trust someone on the internet about this, I'd get a real legal opinion. Or, I wouldn't get it since the ONLY reason to have one is to make a suppressor.
Per the ATF,
'please not that certain commercially available items such as bottles, rubber washers, copper pads, and steel wool may be used to asemble firearm silencers. Such items are unregulated _until_ a possessor assembles, accumulates, or otherwise intends to use an item of this type to make a silencer. Once such an item is possessed with the intent to use in assembling or repairing a firearm silencer, it comes within the purview of the NFA...'
Does getting vision correction surgeries disqualify you from becoming a pilot in the air force or even a civvie pilot?
Is there such a thing as a tube magazine speedloader or something? A buddy of mine got his first rifle recently (a 22 Savage) with one, and while it's fun to shoot, the mag is kind of annoying to have to reload. With my 10/22 one of us could at least load mags while the otyher shoots.

>>28514942
Unless specifically market, AR mags are always for 5.56x45mm.
.223 and 5.56 are basically identical, but 5.56 is made to milspec standards. Guns that fire 5.56 can also use .223, but not vice versa.
>>28514978
get a few quality ARs and then start buying mags ammo and cheap rifles that you will keep and eventually realize that you don't like them much and sell them to fund a safe to protect babbys from salt wepunz.
>>28515049
Definitely second the mags and ammo. You can never have too much of either. Never!

I bought a mill surp coat, but there's a certain odor to it, and whenever I wear it my lungs go to shit and I start wheezing and coughing.

Anyone know if there might be any specific additive compounds(moth repellent or something) on a 1985 serbstronk jacket?
Im a 31A with no actual combat xp, got shit ton of training and enough time in the range.
The closest i've got to deployments is escorting some vip's through 90% russian communities (not even dangerous at peace time.).
Are there any pmc's or glorified security guard jobs i could use to later become a pmc out there internationally.
My time is almost served and i'd prefer not to sign up for another 2years just to get combat deployment xp.
>>28514897
if the receiver is cut as legally required then yes it is treated as scrap and anything you make out of it is a new gun. the atf however does get very touchy about old serial numbers, or removed serial numbers even if you filed them off of pieces of old scrap.
as for your other question the logistics of doing so would make it nearly impossible, you'd be better off buying one on the deepweb, then cutting the receiver and rewelding it yourself as a semi auto. it would be only be incredibly illegal while you were in possession of the intact gun you had smuggled.

I am building two ARs. One is an A1 parts kit, the other is a franken gun assembled from the EE on ar15.com
My A1 FSB has an indent on the back end by the gas tube where my triangle hand guard cap will go. I got a Colt FSB for my other one but the back part is smooth. I don't have a hand guard cap yet but how would it go in there? Am I overthinking it?
Pic is an example of my FSB with no hand guard cutout. How does a cap go on this?
Also anyone have any lower stock sets they want to sell me? All I need is the stock and a barrel more or less
How do you guys test alignment of new sights on your pistols?

I'm by no means and expert or a /k/ regular but this is what I did with my mil surp.
Cleaning rod (or something like it) + windex + cotton patches. You can apply a very thin layer of gun oil after. Rifling is pretty hard to manually ruin by cleaning, easiest way to do that is to not clean it after firing.

>>28521147
That looks like... an M48, right?
I have a Mauser, too. Yugo 24/47.
Fine oil, brake parts cleaner, paper towels, and very fine steel wool are good for cleaning up rifles like that. It'll take some elbow grease with your paper towels to get all the cosmoline and gunk out on the first clean. You can also use a copper or plastic wire brush, or even an old toothbrush, when you find some gunk that doesn't want to come out.
It may be old, but the gun's tougher than you think. That said, some parts you should be very careful with. When you disassemble the bolt on a Mauser, you have to push the firing pin straight down into something when you're dealing with the spring. You have to be very careful not to bend the firing pin. Most Mausers have a slot in the stock for you to place the firing pin while disassembling the bolt, but yours does not. Mine didn't either. I wound up bending my firing pin and I had to spend a good ten minutes with a hammer and a lot of anxiety straightening it out, so be careful with the firing pin.
For the barrel, I'd advise buying a cleaning rod if you can. If not find a long, thin piece of metal that can reliably hold a small 1-2inch square of gun cleaning cloth folded in half. Put some Hoppe's bore cleaning solvent on the cloth, attach it to your cleaning rod (or your cleaning improv stick), and push it firmly into the barrel, twisting it, and being careful not to get the cloth stuck. You'll most likely have to do this multiple times before it's clean if this is your first time cleaning the gun. Make sure to keep a flashlight handy so you can check the bore when you want to.
You'll want to use your gun lube on the bolt more than anything. I never tried it on the trigger, but I don't have any problems with it. The biggest thing is keeping all the parts of the bolt moving smoothly with the receiver for that legendary Mauser action.
I spent something like 5 hours cleaning when I first brought my Mauser home.
The MG-42 was assigned with little leather ribbons to attach to the belt. Did the game Red Orchestra portray it right that you can load a new belt using them without opening the top cover?
t: noguns
>>28521336
Yea it's a M48
>5 hours
Sounds about right spent about the same yesterday. I cleaned everything, toothbrushes paper towels, oh boy the fun. Brake cleaner helped with the barrel flushing it out intally before I soaked it all night.
I had something they it fit in and was watertight.
Yea cleaned and oiled everything and it's nice and ready to reassemble
Barrel is pretty good too but a bit of Cosmo on the inside no globs but a thin sheen that needs wiping. I am going to get a bore snake for it.
I'll order a nice cleaning rod, one price nylon coated or carbon fiber.

Also, in the space inbetween the front sight post and the handgaurd retainer of my m85 pap are there any accessories that resemble scope mounts with a picatinny at the bottom which I can put on the barrel? I'm thinking like the opposite of how a flashlight mount works, but instead of the cylinder body of the flashlight I'd be mounting the barrel?

Don't they just make a 9x19mm AK? :( The one that guy made is fugly.
A "mossberg 590a1 magpul" is just a mossberg 590a1 with the magpul foregrip and stock, right? I can't find anywhere in my country that sells it with a magpul so I was just thinking of putting that on later if it's the only difference between them.

this is not the place for that. you are planning on a major undertaking, go to the library and get some books, buy some books online, register on some reloading forums.
I want to SBR a 1911 for giggles. What does /k/ think or recommend? I found a norinco 1911 for cheap that is cosmetically challenged I'm considering using for the build. Something like pic related but with a stock.
What's a good .308 bolt gun to get me started on my raifu journey - one on which the next step is getting a PTR91? I figure I want ammo interchangeability between my hunting gun and my batturaifu, and .308 seems like a good way to start reloading as well.
When a round cooks off, does the primer or powder ignite? Either way, the primer can't be reused?
Are the Savage AXIS rifle+scope combos worth the 300 dollars for a poorfag? I've heard it's one of the best rifles out of the box for this.
If I buy this:

and this:

A bolt? And a recoil spring? And some other shit?
Which sight for a mainly home defense shotgun(will probably shoot some birds with it too.)
Would a PDW or SMG in .50 AE be practical at all?
>>28518810
First thing I ever cut up was a mouse my cat brought for me. Figured it'd be good practice. It was quite fun, too.

Oh shit yea, for some reason I thought the pac lite was an upper not just a barrel. Anyone know what else I need?
Should I buy a buttstock ammo carrier for my m44?
Pic related.
>>28523259
walther PPK/S comes with a threaded barrel as well, it's whisper quiet with a suppressor
Why has no one made a 7.62X54r upper?
>>28523723
Typically a waste of money.
The elastic quickly wears out, they're really just garbage.
>>28523835
Thanks for your advice!
>>28510117
>notice AR15 lower

Neat.
Should I get a Savage 93R17 in 17HMR?
>>28523179
Yes. People will give shit because of how cheap it is but savage makes a reliable rifle and the scopes are solid enough. Assuming you're talking about the savage-Bushnell packages?
>>28523810
>PPK/S
Hmm interesting. Internal threading? I feel like it might be hard to find a suppressor for that.
>>28524168
apparently they sell adapters for pretty cheap

Californian here. If I were to build a class-II weapon but have a fixed 10-round magazine that takes stripper clips, would it be CA legal? Obviously, the weapon would follow the other guidelines as well. Seems to me that doing this is essentially the same as installing a bullet button; the magazine is affixed and cannot be removed without a tool. Thanks in advance if anyone has input.

Hey guys, is Crimson Caravan's Basic Operator kit worth the money? Includes Condor Plate carrier, Triple AR15/AK47 single stack magazine pouch, Double Pistol single stack magazine pouch, hard knuckle gloves, dump pouch, red tab CAT tourniquet, and 3 day assault pack. I don't have any gear of my own, has anyone here picked one of these up?
What's the comfiest job I can get in the military? Last time I took the ASVAB was in high school, scored an 88. I want to enlist sometime in the next month, so I'm hoping I'll score above 90 the second time around.

I'm a cheap lazy fuck. What's a good gun safe under $150
>>28527066
a $150 wood box
>>28524099
I believe so anon. They were running deals on them at my store for 300 so worse case scenario I can always change the scope for a little more.
why did they change the stock on the 10/22?
>>28527066
No safes. The stackable gun cabinets have a decent reputation.
>>28513537
not at all, as long as you are correctable to 20/20 you're eligible for either military or civilian aviation.
>>28518810
dove hunting is also much easier to get into than some of the other small game.
In addition, cleaning doves is pretty much the least gory process I've done as a hunter. The only thing that might make you uneasy is ringing a wounded bird's neck, but the faster you do it the less painful it is for the bird.
>>28523079
Anybody? Favored .308 bolt-action? Remington? Winchester? Savage? Ruger?
>>28528052
I've heard great stuff about Howa.
>>28513425
Are you dense? The only reason to have one? It's a solvent trap and it's intended use is to trap solvent.
ATF plz go.

They are called guides. Hire a hunting guide, even if he doesn't want to teach you every trick in the book, just pay attention.
>>28521456
It's minimum for alot of people. It's all about how close you plan on getting to the animal. I'd have said 30-06 instead of 308 at the risk of sounding like a fudd. Gives you more velocity and a wider range of bullet weights. 125 up to like 240 grain.
.30-30, 300 savage, .308, 30-06, 300WM. And 300 RUM. Are all .30 caliber bullets. Only difference is in the action, weight and, velocity.
>>28520675
A shotgun with different loads could take just about anything worth taking. Of course good luck hitting anything over 200 yds with it accurately enough.

If capacity matters, Mossberg's MVP line accepts M1a mags. Won't matter for huntan, but might help you when you get a battle raffle, if you're not married to the stupid sexy G3.
I'm getting a Tikka T3 soon and I want to know what scopes would be a good value.
Honestly I'm really interested in the tree style reticle, but it seems they costs quite a bit more.
Any reasonably priced ones out there?
>>28528052
Savage, winchester, ruger, remington. Is my order for that list. Savages are about the best you can get for cheap. You might find others cheaper but savage is actually decent quality. The Axis II xp would be a good way for you to go. I would recommend better glass than what comes stock.
>>28510117
Another option is to ask the FFL if he can acquire the gun from a distributor for you at a cheaper price. A local gunshop owner mentioned to me that he could get the basic LH9 for $450 a unit (which is still too expensive).
>>28528693
Look up the savage scout. I'm not sure where it compares price wise but I love the look of it. And having ironsights is a plus.
>>28528693
> Stupid G3
It's retarded thank you very much.
I was thinking of creating a "gun talk" or "gun control" test, which could be shared with retards to show how little about guns they know.
Stuff like "Which of these AR15s are fully automatic? [image]", "which of these guns are more deadly? A, B, C [image of 2 Mini-14s]".
And many more.
Does /k/ think this is actually good or just a waste of time?
>>28510263
It's a fun gun to shoot. I have one with a wood stock because that's what gets me going. It is getting pricier and pricier though, and magazines are expensive and can be hard to find. However if you can't get an AK or an AR it's a solid 5.56 rifle, reliable, and ruger's customer service is legendary. My first mini was the display model at the store I bought it from so it got handled a bunch and stopped going bang after 80 rounds so I sent it to ruger and they sent me a brand new rifle.
>>28528750
Might just make people mad, or elicit an emotional response.
What is this paper that came on the leather strap of my PU scope?
Any significance?
My dad found an SS knife that my grandpa apparently smuggled from Europe after the war. Both the blade and sheath have matching serial numbers, blade itself is in good condition but the sheath is pretty worn. Any idea what this would be worth?
Need a good innawoods knife. Considering a khukuri from a thread a read a while back. Any suggestions?
>>28513425
Intent is such a BS thing to get you with. My bad I have a bottle and cotton balls in the same room.
Does anyone know how to disassemble the magazine release button on a MAS 36?
The previous owner wasn't too kind to it and now its gritty as fuck.
>>28519334
if you have an active clearance you have a good chance at getting a really shitty contract. look at shooterjobs. Academi takes anyone with a clearance almost as long as you dont have a potato for a resume.

>>28530214
Or just wear a hat like a normal person.
How many bullets do you guys use per shooting session? I wanted to start shooting for fun but ammo is kind of expensive in my country.
>>28527611
In that case go for it. One of my favorite guns was a savage axis 270 that came with a Bushnell. They are reliable and trustworthy guns at a very low price.
>>28511341
Bought an East German for $300 last year and a Russian for $200 a month ago. I don't see what's so much better about the East German version.
I can't figure out what 45 I want. I want it to be carryable, but not so small that it's not fun to take to the range. I want it to have a good trigger out of the box and no grip safety. Any suggestions? I'll set a budget of $850.
>>28511883
He asked about the mini14 not m14
.308 big enough for moose/elk shooting?
Does anyone have experience with Ciener 22lr conversions? I kind of want one for my BHP for cheaper practice, because I am a terrible shot. Should I just get a buckmark and be done with it?

>>28530643
P220 is nice but you can't go wrong with a 1911. Do you prefer polymer or metal frames? DA/SA, striker, SAO?
>>28530820
Kind of prefer steel/alloy/aluminum frames. I wanted to stay away from 1911s though. I like the action of striker fire, but the triggers annoy me. I have a VP9 and the trigger feels too scratchy and not smooth. I was looking at p220 and p227 primarily but wanted to see if anyone had other suggestions.
>>28522615
Correct
>>28523957
I have one and I like it a lot.
>>28528692
that's what i was looking for but it's a real one, you're supposed to be able to trace the green line.

Looking for a cheap double barrel shotgun. Any recommendations?
>>28530253
>>28531984
Two trigger or single trigger? Side by side, over under?
>>28532655
Always liked the look of side by side. Single trigger preferably.
Does anyone have that photo roughly captioned (or filename) "Dads going off to war"? It's a bunch of middle-aged guys (roughly from the 70's-80's I think) either loading or unloading from a large helicopter or a plane of some sort from the back. A lot of them are holding guns, some wear aviators, and almost all of them have everyday casual clothes like khakis, shorts, vests, etc.
>>28532690
Stoeger makes both, usually for around/above 500.
Century international sells them for about 300, but have double set triggers.
>>28532783
Still a bit high. Think I'll see if I can find someone selling used ones cheap, thanks though.
Should I buy a savage mkii GXP from dicks for 150 bucks next time they are on sale? (No Accue Trigger)
Or should I just buy a Ruger American Rim fire 22lr.
I have a 10/22 already if that informs your advice.
I like the wood on savage. No irons can be a blessing due tot he fact I keep getting guns with canted sights but I do like the sights on the Ruger. (Ive held both)
Ruger has same mags.
Ruger is 300 dolardoos and Savage is always on sale for 150 at my dicks.
Is the yugo m48 slavshit?
Kind of want to get a 10mm Glock so I can convert it to all the various alternative calibers using Lone Wolf barrels. Two questions:
1 - Have had this idea based on the G20, but apparently a new-gen 10mm came out, the G40? And LWD seems to sell barrels for it. Should I spring for the 40 if I can?
2 - They're not some niche-y place, pretty much any regular shooting enthusiast seems to at least know the brand, but are LWD's barrels like, high-quality, professionally-manufactured? Or is this just some dude dicking around in his home workshop, making okay-quality stuff for 'power users' of shooting?
Let's say hypothetically, that this guy live in Texas. Let's also say hypothetically, that this guy also happens to know someone who's selling an authentic AK-107 within the US, no idea how it got here. Would it be legal for the guy to purchase it from a private seller, and assuming so legally obtain a tax stamp for a fully automatic rifle? If not, would only federal authorities have the jurisdiction to enforce laws pertaining to said weapon, or could/would local authorities care about it too? Assuming the rifle was converted to semi-automatic only, would it be legal since technically the second buyer didn't import it?

>>28534699
theres nothing wrong with dryfiring a centerfire gun, anyone that says it can damage a gun shouldnt be around guns.
I want an M1A, yes I know of their reputation, yes I know better .308s exist for far less money. Yes I know. I want one to fill my old rifle collection. Would I be better off buying a parts kit and building it that way (matching serials is of no great importance to me for this rifle) or buy one of those Springfield ones? Mind you I just want a plain Jane rifle, none of that fancy competition rifle stuff.
