I see. It's a Ukrainian re-arsenaled. I don't know enough to comment on the sling collars. I refinished the stock though because so much of the cosmoline was gone that it was done to bare wood on most of the rifle. Wrecked the collectors value, but it was my first rifle so I'm going to take it to the grave with me.

Hue, she's pretty cool. I can't seem to get her out to the range with me. I keep trying but it's just not her thing. Which is depressing because we've been looking for hobbies to do together, and I would be willing to try things she suggests.

>>29682340
>does it offer any appreciable effect over traditional API?
It has basically zero terminal performance, but at the same time the .50 version will front-pen a BMP 3 at 1000m or side-pen a T72M at 500m. It's not for shooting things that breathe.

I can't imagine how restrictive ROE is now. I got in on the last days of the Wild West (2004-2005) on my first tour and felt like the "overly restrictive" ROE of 06-07 was gonna get me fucking killed. Then I talk to other guys and they claim 08-09 was the "wild west" and are bitching about even stricter ROE.

I had assumed it was for APCs, fortified positions, shit like that. I wouldn't want to get shot with one though. Getting shot is getting shot.

Bet it could fucking #shrekted a truck too.

I dunno about the ROE, I'm not infantry, but if I get shot at, pretty sure I'm cleared to shoot back. Either way looks like we're either spooling up for Iraq 2: Good day to Snackhard, or we're going to ignore the issue. I think as a country we should ignore the strife of the Middle East.

But as a person I want to see me some war.

Thanks man. She can be a handful. She has the depression thing going so I just have to stick with it. I know there's nothing I can do to directly help, but I still feel guilty over it.

>>29682437

Can't shoot back? That's pretty leme. Putting soldiers lives at risk for reputation like that when the soldiers are getting shot at is bad for soldiers. If you don't want to have responsibility for them shooting back, then don't put them there.

All of the super dynamics are flat triggers. I don't like flat triggers. I have a ssa-e. It's a good, general purpose trigger that has served me well, probably the single most important upgrade on my rifle.

>>29682260
Shoot for precision. Try to learn the holds for your irons and reach out as far as you can

Practice reloads. 3 or 4 rounds MAX in every magazine, but randomized so you can't predict empty.

Practice ready ups. Bringing the rifle to a firing position

Dry fire. It's perfectly safe
With a buddy, you can shadow box to practice sight picture.
You can always use a cleaning rod and a penny to practice trigger squeeze
>>
>>29682665

To learn precision and good trigger squeeze it's follow through, follow through, follow through. Once you learn good follow through the rest becomes much easier.

So basically...

It was a very simpler time, I didn't give a shit about politics, didn't stress over money or bills or my health. I didn't think I was ever going to die, it was all life guard at the Y, smoke dope on the weekends, fuck 16/17 year old sluts.

I mean it could be worse, I still try to hang on to my youthful rebellious opinions, my dream is to get enough scratch together to get a small farm and homestead and shoot, and swim in the pond and generally do whatever I want. I've found that most of the shit that stresses me out now, I could cut it out of my life if I moved to a farm and just turned off the TV. Damn busy bodies everywhere always trying to fuck with someone else. Can't leave well enough alone.

I miss the simplicity of life, the lack of SJW's in the sociopolitical atmosphere and few responsibilities.

What I don't miss is being NEET as fuck with no money or skills.

It's nice to be able to drop a few thousand every month on gun shit if you want, or be able to save up and buy a car if you need to. It's also nice to go out and interact with people and be treated like an adult, not like a punk ass kid regardless of your knowledge or intelligence.

>>29685612
>SJW
Preaching to the choir, these fucking kids man, they make me sick. They don't know what oppression is and better hope the right doesn't get it in its head to actually do some oppressing. I had a brief convo with a coworker about the BLM movement, basically I said if the white man was really trying to kill off the black man, they'd all be dead inside a week.

>NEET
True that, I'm much more fit and adaptable now than I ever was in my younger years.

>disposable income
Oh that is nice, I love buying gun shit or just treating myself to whatever whenever I want to.

>treated like an adult
That is nice, when you're young even if you know something is a fact you can be disregarded on age alone. I remember being young and working at home depot and getting in an argument with a customer because he insisted that millimeters where larger than centimeters. I mean I know it's Texas but please don't spread this false "we're all dumb hicks" stereotype please.

>>
>>29685733
THATS WHAT I USED TO DO FOR LIKE THE LONGEST TIME.

I would to through a kilogram of Bali powder str8 outta indonesia for cheap. Near the end i was super addicted and a kilo would last a month.

Then it stopped getting me high and I had nasty withdrawals, had to go on Suboxone (which is worse x10000000)

and then had to withdrawal from that

so ive learned my lesson to take breaks in between uses

You need to take tolerance breaks friendo. Once you get that much its full on addiction on par with a morphine addiction. Withdrawals gonna suck Idk if youve had them.

Yeah I dont drink or smoke either but kratom is pretty bad.

not the other guy btw but a fellow kratom enthuasist

Are there any good /k/ approved resources for a guide on building your own?

>>29685700
Work dude, you get there through work. Pick a career and work towards it. There's a lot of high paying trade craft with minimal schooling where you can do this. And budgeting, that's a lot of it. You have to manage your money, take for example any low income neighborhood. Shitty ass cars, falling apart house, no lawns, no insurance, no teeth, 4K dollar rims and and 3K dollar sound system. The fuck kind of budget is that?

Are you buying your canned goods in bulk? Why not? Run the numbers see how much money you'll save. Still buying name brand OTC meds? Why? You like paying twice as much for the same pill? You drink? Smoke? Etc? Just last year I was smoking, I averaged 10 cigarettes a day, give or take. 3650 cigs in a year/ 20 per pack = 182.5 packs in a year @ $4.85 = $885.125 a year or $73.76 a month. So by not smoking, I can buy a whole Prvi 200 round battle pack a month and never see a change in my budget.

In terms of a career you need education, be it college or learning a trade. Get good at it and work hard, take overtime if you can. Don't stay in a comfy job if you can make more money doing something more challenging. Chances are you'll grow your knowledge base and life skills more at a difficult job vs. an easy one. Strive to improve your future, not make your present more comfortable. That's how you earn money and KNAWLEDGE. in your free time learn about things that further your career or interests. Learn how to build an AR on youtube, research ways to become better at your job, etc.

Save your money for things you want. dont eat out all the time, dont buy stupid toys and gimmicks, buy quality clothes you can wear for a few years so you arent always dropping cash on new clothes, get the apartment you can afford, not the one you want most, live with people to split rent, keep your debt at a minimum, buy a good car that will last not a flashy one that will need repairs a lot, dont smoke - shit is expensive, same with going to bars and clubs and shit, total money drain.

I prioritize shooting because it's my favorite hobby. I have others, but this one demands the most cash and I derive the most enjoyment from. I dont drink, dont smoke, I manage my grocery bills, I share an apartment, I just bought a used car but it came with 5 year 125k mile warranty so I know I wont have to put a lot of money into it if shit starts to go wrong.

I have to ask why. As for training, Youtube is nice, I think Midway has a complete video series on building. If you want bang for you buck, sign up for PSA's "Daily Deals", pickt he parts you want and watch for about a month. All your parts will eventually be on sale, buy them when they are.

Do I need to worry about head spacing or anything like that or is it pretty much like legos?
>>
>>29685785
I force myself to endure a 4-8 day withdrawal. Usually try to schedule them when its most convenient like during a weekend or break from work/classes.

If you don't do these breaks and endure the discomfort for a short while you will end up being totally fucked.

The withdrawal from cold turkeying 1 kilo a month was on par with moderate morphine withdrawals and about 1/5th as strong as suboxone withdrawal which is the most painful shit on earth, which is saying something.

You gotta take breaks man or you may end up needing to see a doctor to help you off of it.

Also it can cause really bad depression if you ever try to quit entirely for a few weeks as your brain tried to unfuck itself endorphin-wise.

>>29685794

Weight really. I'm not interested in shooting 300m+ too much so I figure I would like get something shorter.

This has a lot of good info I didn't hit on:

>don't eat out.
This, you save so much by cooking yourself especially cooking big batches at a time. Eating should be a treat, not the norm, cooking is cheaper and way healthier. Learn to cook it's not hard, I have a beer when I cook, makes it fun, I enjoy it.

>clothing
Fuck. Print. T-Shirts. $30 for a T is a god damn rip off. Get on Amazon, buy 3 of the 3 packs of Soffee colored shirts, bam done. You got T-shirts that last near forever, they're comfortable and you don't look like so edgy try hard shitlord that shops at hot topic.

>keep debt at a minimum
This is so fucking based.

>flashy car
Fuck foreign. Buy American, no not some xenophobic thing but because they don't just last as long, they're cheaper to maintain. Oil changes, tires, brakes, everything about servicing a foreign car is more expensive than American cars, especially if that car is European. And don't ever buy an Audi, unless you like the shop to have the car more than you.

You'll need an upper receiver vice block set, a vice, AR armorers wrench and a torque wrench as well as anti seize. If you're really looking to save money, unless you or a buddy has the tools I would stick to completed assemblies. Like pick a lower, pick and upper, BCG, sights, etc.

>>29685846
I think you misunderstand. When you say carbine, what you're saying to AR junkies is "I want a carbine length gas system, not a midlength." We don't say I'm building a new carbine, we just say "I'm building a new AR". If it were a 20" barrel, I think you'll call this a rifle not a carbine, we'd say something like, "I'm building an A2 or I'm building an M16A4gery."

You dig? Here look at this, all 16" carbines, but top is carbine length gas, middle is mid length gas and bottom is rifle length gas. The bottom is known as a "Dissipator".

Agreed, and crimes with firearms and explosives are Federal crimes, perfect for the FBI.

Is there something I'm not seeing here? I know nothing about trains to be honest.

>>29687913
Diesel engines cock up the environment more than any steam locomotive today, so that's not much of an issue.
>>
>>29687913
Wtf are you talking about dumbass it's steam?!
>>
>>29687928
They put out coal smoke, however that shit settles back down to the earth as a spent natural element almost immediately. Most of the time it's nowhere near as big as you see in pictures, which are often a result of the crew intentionally burning the coal inefficiently to put on a show.
>case in point

>>29687928
>>29687936

the steam is generated from coal typically.

I'm gonna keep polishing my BCG. I only shot 120 rounds today but it wipes right off now compared to the scrubbing I had to do before.
NiB is such shit.

That's fucking neato man, sweet deal.

>>29687930
Yea I know, but a couple of dumbfucks who see coal+stack will think of pollution and want them outlawed from running.

I mean, heat shields and adjustable stocks on guns look scary.

This. I've seen coal burners running so clean the only thing they put off is excess steam and it dissipates nearly immediately.

It's sad that you don't know how a basic steam engine works. The school systems have failed.
>>
>>29687930
This may be true, but lobbyists.

That's why I have to use lighting in my garage that has Mercury instead of something else like LED's

Fuck this place

>I work on an EMD 645
Neat, so now you're an expert on steam locomotive output. :^
>>
>>29687993
I'm not a huge proponent of public schools either but it seems odd that you're upset about the fact that I wasn't taught about how steam engines work in high school.

Did you have a Trains 101 elective or something?
>>
>>29688009
Nope. But I do know a thing or two about burning diesel fuel vs coal.

That really doesn't do anything to disprove steam engines being able to run pretty clean when operated properly

>>29688058
We were actually taught that in 5th grade science, along with basic machines like levers, screws, and pulleys. It's basic shit.
>>
>>29688069
There's a shitload more nasty stuff in diesel fuel emissions than co2, a lot of it not present in coal emission

Not that either is particularly good for you or anything

How can we weaponize trains with AR-15s?

They tried it, though not with ARs. The limitations were.. well, pretty much what you would expect.

Neat, now, on a modern day scale, how many pollutants do heritage steam railroads produce compared to UP, CSX, BNSF etc. etc.?

Yeah, no rum for you homie. I assume you got some nice pain killers though. Take a couple and get something solid to eat.

The point is, you said diesel engines fuck up the environment more than steam (coal burning) engines and you're wrong. Obviously there are fewer coal burning engines than diesel operation today, that was never disputed.
>>
>>29688094
They both don't have 100% burning efficiency, so they'll both shoot shit out into the sky. The big factor here is scale, there being a fuckton more diesel locomotives running on rails today than steam. Chicago in particular is being hit hard from emissions from its fuckhuge railyard, as an example. Therefore, targeting a historic steam railroad for polluting is a classic example of missing the forest for the trees. Neither steam nor diesel engines, however, compare to the amount of shit factories spew out.

> you said diesel engines fuck up the environment more than steam (coal burning) engines
They do, by virtue of scale.
>and you're wrong.
Nah.
>>
>>29688176
>by virtue of scale
yes. I guess I'll repeat it, that was never being disputed.

>Nah.
It's the most basic thermodynamics.
Let's say you have two steam engines that are identical except for the energy source they use to boil the water. One uses coal and one uses diesel fuel.

It takes X amount of BTUs to boil the water in the boiler

For the same output of BTUs, coal is producing more pounds of CO2 than diesel.
