Is writing blood type on boots, vest helmet etc a good idea? Does it have any real merit?
Is putting the blood on the boots within regs? I'm not in theater so I also don't want to look like a faggot.
Do you reload?
If so pick fast powders and go to 6" else stick to 10"
>>29727854
well, if you're fucked to the point you need blood, it would help, but isn't blood type on your dog tags anyway?
>>29727876
They *can* get lost. it's good to have contingencies.
>>29727768
For 7.62x51

It's done to seem badass
Odds are you'll just get O- anyway
>>29727916
Well my reason is more of like if I ever get shot or whatnot to be able to save a few minutes (in the event I needed them) and help the medics help me faster.
>>29727916
I thought they tried to avoid using O- at all costs since it was retarded rare?
Does it make any sense to set up an NFA trust now if you live in a state that bans silencers but intend to move to freedom in a year or so?
>rolling this one over from last thread
Does anyone know the manufacturer of the rifles the Croats used in the Yugo Civil War and others
I'd like to purchase a rifle similar to the ones the would've used
>>29727930
From what I have read O- makes up about 6%-7% of the population
>>29727949
Well the state arsenals made them.
I really want to buy this rifle. Does anyone have anything to say about the Century arms c308?
>>29727601
Bumping from old thread.
OP if you're still interested next weekend I can chronograph my obrez. It's like... 7" I think? I don't remember.
Shooting a 12 gauge hurts my brain. Can I fix this?
>>29728020
Just buy a PTR. Avoid Century. I've got a rifle sent back to them at the moment for a repair that should have never been shipped out to begin with. Buy once cry once.
>>29727897
What is the curve like between usable and useful?
Ranges?
>>29728071
Plis
>>29728077
Literally how? Have you not been shooting long? Are you really short and only like 100 some pounds? Actually asking not trying to be rude
>>29727969
Do you know what's the closest I could get to one
>>29728124
as cool and as terminator-tier as I would feel using that, I could never shoot it because I'd be so afraid of removing my wrists from existence.
>>29728140
Zastava M-70 or a PAP-N
>>29728145
Why do people think shooting 12 ga with two handholds but no stock is fierce?
It actually feels less strong than with a stock for me, just use your arms lik3 hydalic recoil absorbers, let the gun kick back some, no stock means it can go back without hitting much.
Meanwhile a stock is more accurate but feels very imbalancing, getting hit in just one shoulder repeatedly.
I've been shooting for a couple months now-- mostly on my 410 and a 22 rifle.
I tried out my dads 12 gauge and held it very hard on my shoulder.
My shoulder was completely fine but the shockwave on my face and the jolt to my head and neck was just so unpleasant I had to stop after a few shots.
I'm a 6 foot skellington though.
>>29728191

>>29728020
I'd buy a PTR. I avoid century manufacturing whenever possible.
>>29728203
Gain a little bit of weight and shoot more often. When I first started shooting 30 caliber rifles were really hard on my head. But then again I have been shooting since I was 8.
>>29728191
Improper cheek weld maybe
What's the best spotting scope under $200?
I'm only going to be using it with .308 rifles and I don't think I can find a range over 500 yards so it doesn't need to be that good. Also bonus points for something I can take while hiking or used like a telescope.
>>29728992
Why not 12x50 binoculars, most spotting scopes dont lend well to hiking.
>>29729125
I have these Bushnell 10x42 binoculars which work alright, but I would prefer something with more magnification and I've got 20/70 vision just in my left eye which makes using binoculars a bit weird
>>29729230
Take a look at high magnification monoculars then. Pros/Cons: Extremely compact, Less FOV, hard to steady.
Look for X-30x25+

Hey /k/ I'm at work right now but do any of you guys know if it's completely legal to buy a c96 if I'm under 21? I want as a collection so don't give me any shit about them being ass. If c96s made before 1940 are exempt from nfa laws then I should be totally able to buy one right?
>>29729299
It's still a handgun, so only through a private sale, depending on what state you're in
>>29729230
How about the Bushnell NatureView spotting scope? It seems pretty good
>>29729428
It looks pretty good for the price and I know Bushnell makes decent optics but I think I will opt to pay $20 more and get a 20-60x Redfield Rampage
>>29727876
Put it this way, as a helicopter guy, we wear both dog tags, one around the neck and one in the laces of our right boot
>>29727768
>What is the shortest useful barrel length for .30-06 and .308?
I wouldn't go below 20" with .308 and 23" with '06 myself. The novelty of a "pistol" in either caliber would wear off very, very quickly...
Whats the going price on a jericho? And are they worth the purchase?
>>29729855
>what specific model, cal, and accessories?
>they range from $300 and up
>i cant say anything about the poly frames but the older steel frames are nice
>>29729881
941f, .40. Unless another steel model or 9mm would be better.
>>29729922
9mm is always better
>>29727928
Medics typically just carry O- because it's universal. Specific blood types are for field hospitals and better.
>>29727930
Most doctors don't need to shove three pints of blood into an unknown patient RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.
Recommend me a good edc flashlight, faggots. Thanks
>>29728020
People will normally tell you to upgun to a more expensive gun than a cheap one.
>Springfield over Norinco
>Kimber over Rock Island
>Benelli over Mossberg, etc
This is one of those rare occasions where they are right, so right that the truth is blinding.
Buy a PTR and never look back my son
>Also a C308 isn't like a Century FAL where even if it's a junker it can be salvaged/ gunsmithed away. They fuck up the bend and the headspace and you literally have a paperweight - only furniture/trigger pack/lower/barrel /mags/bolt salvagable
>>29728191
Technique
>>29729932
Any paeticular reason? I've been told they're pretty similar. I'll probably geab a 9 when I pick it up I would just like to know whats what.
>>29730001
>Any paeticular reason?
9mm is more common, less noisy, beats the gun up less and has similar ballistics with modern defensive ammo. The only use for blastier auto calibers like .40, .357 SIG and 10mm is when penetration is a top priority - hikers or people worried about body armor.
>>29729855
IMO a bit fatter grip than other CZ clones.
I would highly recommend you hold a few CZ's/EAA's and similar before you bite the bullet on a Jericho, avoid the slide mounted safety variants
>>29729366
It is still a handgun if sold in "sbr" configuration ?
Are only pre-1940s c96s exempt, not repros?
>>29727854
if they can only find your boot to determine blood type, they don't have the rest of you to transfuse anything to.
>>29730105
>It is still a handgun if sold in "sbr" configuration ?
Seeing as C96's are exempt from sbr laws, yes
Are only pre-1940s c96s exempt, not repros?
Yes,but not exactly sure of the date cut off. Also I don't believe their are any c96 repros.
does historic military vehicle restoration /k/ related, or does it belong in /o/, or in /his/.

I think /k/ would appreciate it but /o/ would be more helpful.

hey guys, newbie here.
what kind of gun should i be looking for if i wanted to shoot wild boar? and what kind of rounds would i use with that?
>>29727768Someone explain long-action versus short-action to me.
Does it really apply to AR style rifles jn an effective way?
>>29727768
Anybody have the ghost trigger kit on their glawk? Worth the $40? Or should I save up some cash and just put an aftermarket trigger group in my gen 4 Glock 19? Halp

Curio and Relic. Type of FFL license that allows people to have firearms that are 50+ years delivered to there doorstep. More restrictions on what can be dropped off than normal FFLs but not as difficult to get.

>>29727949
huh, I never knew the Croats used East German helmets
>>29731490
Let's just say it's not my Sig p320 trigger...
It's not that a stock Glock trigger is terrible, I've had worse, but it's nothing to write home about. I just want a smooth, clean break, with no grit or mush.
>>29731511
Tell me more please
>>29727768
Is 147gr jhp (wincester ranger T) out of a lc9 a bad idea?
I cant seem to find 147 range ammo to make sure im good with the recoil
I thought that since the barrel length is shot i would need that low and big 45 like idea.
How do I NOT get my rifle flying out of my hand when firing?
If I grip my rifle too firmly it shakes a bit too much for my liking when shooting with a scope but at the same time if I don't firmly grip the rifle it comes out of my hands
What do I do?
>>29731757
Are you retarded? Do you have cerebral palsy?
How long can you wear a gas mask with asbestos in the filter before it starts fucking your shit up?
Won my first gunbroker auction and am doing an FFL transfer for the first time. The UPS shipping tracker says my gun arrived at my local FFL on Friday but when i went in today and asked they said they didnt have it. The guy also made a note of saying as soon as they get it, they process it and then call the owner asap. So whats going on here? Should i worry?
>>29731815
Asbestos is fine as long as you don't grind it up (ie. Demolishing buildings)
> asbestos could of prevented 9/11
>>29731815
It has almost no short term effects. Could be decades before it causes problems, and it usually requires lengthy exposure.
That said don't fucking do it.
>>29731825
Nah just wait for them to call you
They may have it but not yet processed your package into their system and they're being an ass about it
When my gun came into my FFL they also told me they may not have it but I told them the tracking shit says it arrived and what do you know it was in their front desk waiting
>>29731537
It's known as a type 3 licence. It basically means that the ATF has vetted you and under the gun control acts created after the Kennedy assassination you can legally have certain guns mailed to your home. After Kennedy was killed it was found that Oswald ordered the gun from Klines in Chicago, a milsurp dealer. So in the wake of his death they made it illegal to send guns via mail order.
>>29731930
Legally an FFL must log all received firearms into the "in" book within 24hrs of receipt.
>>29728113
Would really like to know this as well. Would like to do a 2a1 obrez build one day.

Is this a G3?
My daughter wants a gun but I don't know anything about guns. Can any of you guys help me out? She's 18 and is interested in joining the military if that helps.
>>29733452
Handgun? Most here will recommend a Glock, I however recommend something hammer-fired for new users; especially if it'll be concealed carried in the future. CZ(and clones), Beretta PX4 and the SIG SP2022 or P250 are what I'd be looking at.
The firing pin retaining plate on my buddies 1911 is loose. How can we keep it from sliding down during operation?
I've seen /k/ recommended beginner handgun guides on here before but I was wondering, is there a /k/ recommended AK guide?
If not, what are some recommended AK manufactures?
>>29733452
what does she want it for? rifle or pistol? budget?
>>29733966
I have no set budget. I haven't asked her much since it's a surprise. She has never held a real gun before but I think she wants it to get her started. I was thinking Glock but do you have any recommendations?
>>29734016
>has never held a real gun
Start small. Anything chambered in .22lr would be a good choice. Perhaps a 9mm Glock if she doesn't have girly wrists.
>>29727949
Back when Apex was selling 3 packs, I bought some Romanian Balkan war surplus AK furniture. One of them had a sticker that said "God Protects Croats" on it in another language. Don't remember what language, I posted a pic on /int/ and that was the response I got. Some guy on /k/ has that furniture now
>>29734016
Also learn about whatever you're going to get her. How to operate, disassemble, and safely handle it. Don't just throw her a firearm and say good luck with that
>>29730344
Any bolt action in a full size cartridge will work. An AR in 5.56 would be okay if you avoid the shoulder.
>>29731757
I was taught to create a vice between the shoulder and trigger hand to immobilize the rifle. I generally try and keep my support arm as relaxed as possible to keep my aim steady when shooting offhand.
If someone had a pre-1898 machine gun, like a Colt Browning Potato Digger made in 1896, would it be an antique and transferred without an FFL or tax stamp?
>>29733520
I have to second the P250. And I absolutely love the P238 as a concealed carry.
>>29734390
Yes. Good luck finding one though.
>>29728191
That is just how shotguns are. You have to use a little bit different of a cheek weld on a 12 gauge. It's kind of the same, but a little higher and your face is kind of floating there instead of a hard weld. When the shotgun fires, let your head go with the recoil instead of keeping it plastered to the stock. Cheek slap sucks, especially from a 12 gauge firing slugs.
>M1 Garand
purchased through cmp, used the Springfield m1 specific 30-06 as recommended, rifle cycles but then fails to go into battery and needs to be manually cycled. Run remington 30-06, works just fine, am i in any danger of damaging the rifle or is there anything i should worry about related to pressure?
>K98K
Thoroughly cleaned a k98 that i purchased after having light primer strike issues, issues still persist. Should I just purchase a new firing pin spring and shit?
What bullet manufacturer creates the 175gr .308 projectile with .547bc that Prime ammo touts? Seems high compared to nosler, and sierra, and hornady in similar weights.
>>29735148
Is there an afternarket gas piston conversion?
If so, that could be why.
If not, you risk damage to the operating rod.
>>29733779
Series 80? Ew. You might need to get it reworked.
I'm having ejection problems on my Norinco 1911. The cases aren't fully extracting and are causing double feeds of one live and one spent cartridge.
>>29727854
if you're in the US and going to be treated by civilian medical professionals, I know that they ignore any bracelets or tattoos or blood donor cards or whatever
they just do an instant blood typing test before transfusing any blood
dunno how it goes in .mil, but I assume it goes the same way
>>29733953
At this point you might as well just buy Arsenal, maybe DDI if you can't quite afford it. Pretty much everything else is fucking junk in at least one way or another. WASRs can be alright but you need to replace the furniture right away because it'll crack. Literally anything 100% American made is garbage. AK operators Union did some videos on the RAS47. It was "fireable" after 5000 rounds but had lost any real combat effectiveness after like 2500 rounds which is fucking ridiculous. The irons were completely fucked, rivets were working loose, the stock needed to be held on by fucking duct tape and had split nearly in half, dust cover rattled like crazy. About the only saving grace was that the barrel was still accurate. They had to stick a side rail and optic on it to shoot it properly.
What's a good IWB holster that will fit a P83 Wanad? Also, what would be the best position to wear it while onna run? Appendix, small of back, etc?
>>29731815
Not worth it. You don't know how much those filters could have been shaken up, ad the protective layer inside degrades over time. If you want to wear a mask that uses asbestos filters, look around online and find one of the hollowed out filter shells that people sometimes sell on ebay. (IDK how common they are to find, though).
TL;DR;
Don't try your luck.
What's the best way to carry a fullsize handgun if you're just wearing a bathrobe? (my own bathrobe; I'm open to purchasing a new one, not trying to find some one-size-fit all solution for random bathrobes, just it's like looking at MY bathrobe, putting the gun in one of the pockets will make it dip wayyy too much and print really obviously. Maybe some kind of inner harness system to keep it inside without excessive sagging or printing?
Does anybody already make and sell these?
No I'm not trying to stage a covert assault on an eastern european bathhouse or some other action movie shit, sometimes when I'm just going to get the mail/take out the trash/etc, have a smoke and chat with my neighbors etc... I don't get all dressed up, I just go out in my bathrobe and sandals because it's convenient and comfortable

Buy the ptr, century is spotty on quality control. It's really hit or miss, I get why the price might entice, but it's smarter not to take the risk.
>>29736227
im better with a fullsize than a compact/subcompact (I think everyone is), also I can shoot my own fullsizes well, so this wouldn't really be practical to go get a pocket pistol I don't know how to use well yet, and will never use as well as my fullsizes

What's that grenade launcher in your pic called?
>>29736283
Not him, but I'm thinking about getting a PTR because I like the looks of the wood stock more than an AR10. Am I making a terrible mistake? Wanting to shoot in the 100-300 yard range.
Do they really destroy brass that bad if I get a port buffer?
>>29730843
Short recoil vs long recoil?
Short recoil operation means that the barrel and chamber only move back a small amount before the action unlocks, usually less than a centimeter, but it depends on the gun.
Long recoil means that the whole barrel and bolt assemblies move backwards the full length of a cartridge, then they unlock, and the barrel assembly separates from the bolt and slides forwards, ejecting the brass. Once the barrel is all the way forward, the bolt unlocks and chambers a round before locking back into the barrel.
Long recoils is generally extinct, because the mechanism is much more complex, and requires two main springs, one for the barrel and one for the bolt, which makes it more difficult to rack the gun.
I personally like long recoil guns better, mostly because they have a much cooler sound when the action is run, a longer recoil impulse, and usually have a much nicer ROF.
>>29730843
Long/short action is shorthand for bolt gun reciever length.
There's 4 main lengths that companies make for bolt rifles.
>.223
For shorter bolt throw on small rounds like .223
>Short Action
For around .308-length rounds, some companies put their .223's in short action guns to save money, leaving a lot of wasted space.
>Long Action
For longer rounds like .30/06, 8mm, .270, .300 Short Mag. Some companies smash their .300 Win Mag's into long actions, which limits your bullet length, as most heavy bullets make the rounds too long to fit in the reciever.
>Magnum Action
This is the reciever you want for the Win Mags, Rem Mags, and H&H's, since you can load any weight bullets for the magnums. I don't think it's long enough for the .458 Lott.
It doesn't really affect AR's too much, since AR10's are considered short action, and there might be 1 company that makes a long/magnum action(whoever makes that .300 WM ar)
>>29732907
Pretty sure it's a CETME Model B based on the rear sight layout.

I think the bigger concern is your output on life if you feel like you need to carry a full size handgun to fart around outside in your bathrobe.
but to not start a war, a shoulder rig would be a decent option I'd imagine
>>29736371
You aren't making a bad mistake for the money and reliability. And yeah, they do have a record of brass bashing with bad port buffers, but there isn't much better in the market, just check the thing when you get it.
>>29736566
Well, I don't live in the ghetto or anything, but it's not exactly the NICEST neighborhood either, I take no chances.
I guess shoulder rig is reasonable, I was messing around with my robe a bit, and I guess if I put the gun in the pocket and tie the OTHER side over the side with the pocket and gun, it isn't all that conspicious, because only really the tip of the barrel is printing outside of the flap-over and that could really be anything, its a little worse for fast-draw than having it in the outer pocket, but it's still reasonable, like it'd just look like I'm reaching to scratch my balls or something
Got this knife recently and the only complaint o have is lack of texture on the handle. It's micarta with minor jean type texture. Was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for improving the grip. Was debating cutting some minor channels with my dremel diagonally between riveted spots, or getting grip tape, but I'd prefer not to as I like the coloring of the handle.
Any suggestions?
Where can I buy binoculars with rangefinding systems engraved onto the lens ala STALKER. What are such things called? Do they even exist?

I just scratch up the grip with 80 grit sandpaper, but it doesn't look pretty afterwards, grips nice though.
I was in the last thread asking about a reliable handgun, I'm ready to make a purchase but I'm apprehensive about buying my first online. I know this is kind of a stretch but would any of you know of a good gun shop in the Seattle area? Or is it worth the extra fees to go online to get something I really want?
>>29736270
Not very, considering its the most common.
>>29735489

Depends on the language of the trust.
Some trusts could have verbiage that might not be valid in another state. Best to get a universal trust.
