The Old Thread is dead, Long live the new QTD thread.
Reposting questions from dead thread I read and want to see answered:
>did anyone ever created a pump-action shotgun with a tube magazine OVER the barrel?
>what South American (and/or Central American) country has the best (or least) gun laws?
>planning on gunsmithing school, live in Florida
Is this a bad idea?
>what are some "virtual reloading" sites where I can plug in some powder and bullet weights between different calibers?
>what is the absolute heaviest/strongest 30-06 load that can be shot from a HCAR/BAR, and properly fit loaded into a BAR magazine?
>what is the typical sub-load for .300blk and what are the weights of the powder and bullet, as well as the dimensions of the round once assembled?
The UTS 15 is a shotgun that fits that description.
Gunsmithing as a career is a bad idea.
>>29799359
Would you guys prefer a RIGHT SIDE magazine-fed rifle that ejects downward and lets you keep a low prone with any magazine type and is essentially ambidextrous
>OR
would you prefer a typical bottom magazine fed right side ejecting rifle that does obstruct your prone depending on magazine and is not ambidextrous/lefties eat brass
>BUT DA MAGAZINE WILL FUG WITH LEFTIES IN LOW READY!
I would like to point out that the german's FG42 had the magazine mounted on the left side, and this did not much inhibit the majority right-handed german users.
I am putting my fictional magazine on the right because I think that would most benefit the most users, but I know it doesn't disable left-handed users. The downward eject is nice too.
Does anyone make a good .45acp revolver with a 3" barrel or less that won't cost me my first born?

>Gunsmithing as a career is a bad idea
Why, and what about Weapon Design? (more civilian or small military arms oriented)
>>29799430
Parroting what I have heard from others here, it's primarily mounting sights and scopes on fudd guns for hunting season. You won't make much money because you won't get much business.
Idk about weapon design
I'm thinking of getting a red dot for competition. I had originally been considering an aim point PRO, but if anyone has any suggestions for something more appropriate for competing, I'm all ears. My other thoughts were to go with something light and compact like a vortex SPARC II or a mini red dot like an RMR.
>>29799568
Get a 1-6x instead.
>>29799408
Just use a top mounted mag.
ar 5.7 has one and ejects from the mag well.
>>29799629
Top mounted is not usable right now, it is only the options I listed.
Is the KM 2000 a good knife and is it worth its price?
Reposting this question from another thread to see if anyone here had other recommendations
I started a blue collarish job that involves a lot of outdoor working, because of this I'm beginning to realize how awesome cargo pants are for their durability, flexibility, breathability in heat, dozens of pockets etc. So I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on quality cargo pants. maybe something thats kinda /fa/ and tapers at the bottom (not all wide legged and boot cut like most work pants)
>>29799568
get a 1-4 or 1-6

>>29799359
Why is there no double trigger DP-12?
Could I make one from a standard model and some tinkering/machining/gunsmithing background?
>>29799578
I have a 1-6x, I'd just like a red dot for courses that don't require the same range as a magnified optic. Especially since a magnified optic is going to add weight and be slower to bring on target.
>>29799359
I'm thinking of buying a rifle. For recreation purposes, hunting, etc. Something long range, but not too heavy, a rifle for an amateur, probably semi-auto. It's going to be my first gun ever, so I have no idea what to look out for when choosing one. Could you recommend me something?
And optics too, naturally.
My budget: $1.5-2k
Thanks.
>>29799852
AR10/SR-25-copy
No idea what optics to recommend, as I shoot with irons at 300m typically.
You can get into AR10s for around $500 now.
Is the thing about bullets stabilizing only after 3in of barrel real or it is just a meme and I can buy some 2in .357 revolver to carry if I ever need to accurately shoot someone 20 yards from me?
I once heard someone say that when you get a concealed carry permit, you have a background check ran on you every day and if you fail it they revoke your permit. Is this true?
Are there any lever actions that aren't in some fag caliber like .22 that won't cost me my anal virginity

I want to put something like a sling on my vz 61. I have the factory standard lanyard, I have no idea what it's supposed to connect to. The unscrewable bottom of the grip? The wire stock? I have no idea.
Please tell me how to connect it properly, or recommend me some simple sling alternative.
A serious question:
Besides being against ebay policy, what are the laws of having a magazine shipped internationally to my address? Could it be intercepted by the Post Office and confiscated by the ATF? I'm of course asking for a friend.

What are you planning to do with it?
>>29806175
Shoot some evil paper.
>>29806280
Well, if you are going long range, which I assume you are since this is a 20", I would get something other than chrome. If you aren't going past 100 yards, chrome it and make it shorter. Well, make it shorter anyway.
>>29806316
I'm mostly getting it because it's one of the few heavy barrels I've found. I'm in Canada.

Is a Milsurp rifle (specifically w K31) a good choice to take camping or is it too heavy/long?
>>29806664
Are you gona be hiking a lot?
If so, maybe, if not, its all good.
i do prefer smaller weapons for camping personally, its easier.
So i was at my local antique store and picked up an aluminum 30 rd Center Industries mag for 4 dollars. While i know those aren't rare at all, this one has stamped on the side "restricted law enforcment/government use only or BATF approved equivialent". so stupid question:
>is this magazine special in any way?
asked previously but nobody answered—is dry firing bad for a centerfire pistol (glock 19)?
>>29807010
Probably produced during the AWB.
how do you reset the turrets to 0-0 on an SWFA SS? I cant work it out
>>29807147
>>29807094
ah ok. For 4 dollars I couldn't say no. I don't have an ar, but I'll keep it
>>29807182
see that tiny hole on top? you should be able to loosen it with a small allen wrench so you can line up the cap to your actual zero
>>29807242
ah awesome thanks! this is my first tactical style scope, so I wasnt sure
>>29799568
i have a cat like that :D
Why does the t1 sight cost twice as much as an eotec? And what was the eotec recall all about? I was wanted to get one for my AR but I don't want to but something that will fail
>>29808035
because the t1 is a better sight
the eotech had issues with zero if they went from ultra hot to ultra cold really quick (not an issue for a normal shooter, but the military has standards)
also buy a primary arms advanced micro for half the price, it's 90% as good as the aimpoint
Does anybody want to help finish my rifle?
>>29807944
No problem brother, mine is the same way, glad you got it figured out!

I had an old roommate who used to get knock off sports jerseys imported from South Korea. Customs doesn't inspect everything. With that said my roommate did have one package jacked by customs and he just got a letter saying to knock it the fuck off. He got a few more sent but stopped after a while. Although, knockoff sports jerseys are not weapon accessories.
>>29809122
Forgot to add. He was doing this for a long time before they nipped that first package. Long time being about 2 years give or take with like 2 large packages a month. By large I mean 2x2ft boxes
Picked up a Primary Arms 30mm Deluxe Mount and their PA 4-14 but the ring hats don't sit flush when torqued to even 20 in/lbs. My inner /o/ sees this like a wheel not flush to the hub and is just waiting to sheer at the bolts.
This can't be legit, but even a google image search shows I'm not the only one.
What's the deal?
how bad an idea is it to disassemble a handgun and insert the barrel into my asshole? What would I need to do to make sure the firearm isn't damaged?
Is this from an over pressured round or just from corrosive surplus ammo eating into my Lee's bolt head over time? I assumed the latter until I noticed the extractor was broken down to a nub.
>>29809284
I'm far from an expert but that doesn't look like scars from corrosive ammo.
>>29799359
Is the NEBO Protec light good enough for minimal usage on a SD9VE I bought as a truck gun?
>>29809284
That's primer pocket leakage which makes gas cuts in the bolt face. Replace that bolt head.
>>29809242
>>29809242
Unless you are a complete retard, you won't be subjecting those screws to any kind of shear force at all. If you do, the scope itself will probably fail before the screws.
>>29809320
is that going to happen to the new bolt head as well or did someone just put stupid hot loads into the gun? and is it dangerous to use the rifle before i replace the bolt head?
>>29801856
JMB was literally inventing the modern pistol. They're getting pretty close to perfect with the most modern designs. Until something revolutionary happens in weapon design akin to developing smokeless powder, people are just ironing out the wrinkles of something that already works very well.
>>29809303
if you don't have to shoot anything it'll probably last. if you do have to shoot something expect it to break from the recoil.
My brother recently got an AM40-A6 in .300WM, he's firing hand loaded ballistic tip (polymer)185gn projectile with 55gn powder, from a 26inch barrel, 1 in 9 twist.
The bullets seem to frange the moment they leave the barrel, it's spraying targets during sighting with just shards of bullet even out at 100m. Anyone had anything like this? Or know a solution?
>>29800661
>$200
horse shit
>>29800644
Here's a good litmus test. This is a large fun store in Kittery, Maine. Their prices usually aren't too bad, but classics and rare pieces are priced accordingly. http://www.ktpguns.com/results.php?manufacturer=any&caliber=&action=RIFLE%3A%20LEVER&model=any
In general, >>29800661 this guy is right. Old fuddy-fuddy Durr rifles (.30-30) are gonna be your best bet. Don't worry, they're incredibly powerful, per a very credible source (Senator Kennedy)(he was very good at killing people!). http://www.ktpguns.com/results.php?manufacturer=any&caliber=&action=RIFLE%3A%20LEVER&model=any
"Another rifle caliber, the 30.30 caliber, was responsible for penetrating three officers' armor and killing them in 1993, 1996, and 2002. This ammunition is also capable of puncturing light-armored vehicles, ballistic or armored glass, armored limousines, even a 600-pound safe with 600 pounds of safe armor plating."
Didn't get to ask army friend now that I don't see him that often anymore, anyone know if the belt-fed machinegun system is a more reliable feeding system of shooting full auto than using a regular stick mag or drum mag that works "80% of the time, it works everytime!" Got a gun store guy who's been in military says they're replacing M249 SAWs and the like with better rifles with improved designed drum magazines, but claims also that there are statutes in the geneva or hague conventions or whatever that says service rifles can't have magazines exceeding a certain amount or fire faster than 600-700 rpm? This guy uneducated or fooling simply?
I'm looking to get in and buy my first pistol. Been going to ranges off and on since I was a kid, but I live in California, so fuck me, right?
I'm looking at the SP2022 right now. I rented one in 9mm last night and put a couple hundred rounds through it, and found it accurate as fuck. Aside from the fact that my palm is a bit too wide for the grip, and I'm a lefty (making the slide release a pain in the ass to reach), I found the thing pleasant to fire. Any recommendations in a similar price range? Is this thing a winner? Would .40 be better? I read that the .40 can be converted to .357 and 9mm easily; any issues/risks there?
>>29799408
i would think left hand magazine to be better because you will be reloading with it more than you will be standing at low ready , unless this is like for a book or comic and this is meant to be fictional military issue. but if this is for normal everyday range toy use, then yeah ease of reloading trumps low ready comfort
>>29799359
Buying my first rifle tomorrow. .22 CZ452, been posting about it for a while.
Should I lube/oil it up after I get it? Live in australia and buddy's not going range shooting until Sunday, so I can't zero the fucker until then.
Anything else I should do with a .22 bolt gun after I buy it? I plan to sit around his place sitting at the table in his downstairs area working the bolt until it becomes second nature/get rid of some of the grittyness/sticky bolt issues new rifles have.
It'll be my first gun, and she's real pretty.
If you have an AR pistol and you put on a 16"+ barrel can you legally shoulder it without a stamp?
>>29811680
Lots of guns have factory preservative on them. Standard procedure after buying is to clean that shit off then lube.
>>29811482
The M249 SAW works better with belts than with the magazine adapter. However, belts are generally more finicky, because you need to make sure it's feeding right.
The Muhrines are replacing their old, worn the fuck out SAWs with the M27 IAR, which will be mag fed, perhaps with drums. Jury's out on this one still- the drum they tested is pretty shit, but otherwise it can eat from STANAGs
>claims also that there are statutes in the geneva or hague conventions or whatever that says service rifles can't have magazines exceeding a certain amount or fire faster than 600-700 rpm?
fudd-tier retardation.
>>29811698
Yes, if it meets the overall length requirement of 26". Otherwise, no; however, you may at that point attach a forward hand grip without it being an AOW.
>>29799408
Left side might help as for a right handed shooter that puts it in the right spot for reloads with the support hand. It also shrinks the overall profile.
>>29800450
Maybe for certain rounds. My SP101 is accurate just fine to an IPSC at even 100 yards.
>>29801719
For what, CCW? Primary weapon? Sidearm to a rifle?
CC I would say 1 for mag related failure, min 3 for primary weapon plus the one in the gun, 2 extra if sidearm.
>>29801719
For a rifle I would say 3+1 is the minimum. I generally go with 4+1 or double up the outer pouches for 6+1 as the ever present 210 standard.
>>29811698
Correct, you can take a pistol to rifle config and back again but not the rifle to pistol.
>>29811588
.40 can be converted to .357 Sig not magnum. Not saying you didn't know this, but I've known two people who didn't.
Converting a .40 Glock to a .357 Sig is just a barrel swap. You can also do that with 9mm, but I think it recommend to switch out the extractor. I'm guessing its the same with Sigs.
Check you the FN line of plastic fantastics if you can get them in CA. I think they are amby.
I'm looking for a holster like this:

thats a dumb route either way. solvent traps and freeze plugs exist.
Had a guy gripe at me for putting a scope, in this case a vortex, on a PTR rifle. Saying that PTR rifles due to their actions has a tendency to wreck all forms of optics after a couple of hundred rounds. Forcing people to buy a new optic and the only thing I could think of was huh? Is there truth to that statement, was it full bs, something that'll happen eventually but with a considerable more rounds or something else?
>>29815413
It'll be fine. The roller delayed blow back system is a little more violent than some other actions but it's not going to significantly reduce optic life.
>>29799359

Does anyone know a good site where I can find a lot of durable Cold War-era military surplus boots and such? I'm thinking of taking up hiking and such, and need a cheap, durable pair of high-sitting boots.

Just answer the fuckin question cmon
Has anyone ever had a pistol become unreliable after attaching a TLR-1? Ever since attaching it, my Sig SP2022 can't go through 10 rounds without the slide locking back on a full mag. When I took it off, poof, the thing worked flawlessly.
Anyone had this issue before? No, I'm not limp wristing nor is my thumb pushing up on the slide release.

Is there any good reading material on Soviet Shock Armies and the tactics that they employed? I've been told that the Soviets had some of the best combined arms and urban warfare tactics late in the war, and I'd like to learn more about them.

>>29817437

This is bothering the fuck out of me. There seems to be a small chip in the crown of my vepr 54r. I don't recall ever bumping it into anything or ever hurting it with a cleaning rod (I only use bore snakes for my AKs). Is this bad? Should I get a muzzle brake to protect against further damage?

If you can swing a good deal on an LMT do it, they have some of the best triggers out of the box. Other than that, the Armaliite sass would be a good one, with plenty of spending room for glass.
What paint pens have any of you used for the magpul m3 matrix, I was considering the sharpie extra fine point, but don't know
SO, a local funshop has an SKS for sale with the tapco bodykit and a top rail mount installed for 250$. THe problem? the person who installed the "upgrades" screwed the pooch and damaged the safety
Now I know I can just swap out the trigger group for about 80 bucks plus or minus, still a good deal, but I was wondering If I could simply remove the safety. I know thats a terrible idea, but hey, I'm spitballing here. WOuld simply removing the damaged safety cause the rifle to become inoperable?
I've been told that when the gun is fired it gets through a few rounds before engaging hte safety which required removal of the trigger group to reset. so, what are my options here?
Should I get the SKS? What are the odds the previous owner screwed it up even more? and until I replace the trigger group can I just remove the safety and live dangerously and stupidly.
Also, how hard would it be to simply replace the safety.
I'm debating between getting a lever-action .22 rifle or babby's first precision rifle.
Wat do?

I don't think it's the gun's issue. When the light is on, gun jams every 4 or so rounds. Light off and it's the very definition of reliability.
It just doesn't make any sense though. Can over-torquing the light put enough compression on the polymer frame to fuck up the slide movement?
>>29820867
Like, how much does that stuff cost?
>>29820500
hey dumbshit, you aint gonna believe this.....
5.7 is straightwalled......with a bottleneck. Hence why the magazine is fuckin 180deg parallel on BOTH the P90 and FiveseveN, and doesnt look like a 'banana clipz' like you see on a AK-fo-sefiN
>>29820875
Well, the top (one with tan) is pretty nice, that magpul buttstock is like 70 dollars, the various other magpul stuff is like another 60-70 dollars, the front and rear sights cost like ~$100, the suppressor must have cost a pretty penny plus a tax stamp, plus that looks like a fairly high end rail system. Pretty nice gun prolly around $1000-$1200 w/o suppressor included in cost
The bottom rifle is an m16 a4 clone and I think aero has them for sale for around $1000 so it's pretty high end too

I am a California resident going to school in Arizona. Never bought a gun before. If I go into the gun shop down the street in AZ and find a gun I like, what is the process for buying it? Could I bring it back to California and just keep it in my house?
I live in Orange County, CA and let's say I tried to buy a long gun.
>>29821806
You'd probably still have to go through all the CA bullshit, given that Cali is your permanent address.
>>29821902
Can you summarize what that entails?
>>29821916
Alright, retract my previous statement. Looks like it is technically legal to bring them in without going through shit. However, being caught in possession of an "assault weapon" or an unregistered handgun will get you in trouble. The gun store may have California compliant rifles and handguns in stock. They may also not sell to you to avoid getting entangled in that.
Is this suppressor legit? Some guy is selling it with a gun but as far I knew suppressors are illegal in my country.
>>29821963
Ok thanks chief. I just want a nugget if I can find a good one here
>>29822075
You should be fine, then. Good luck!

Anything that has a mariner model.
A guy just offered me a Citadel officer's 1911 and a little cash (didn't say how much) for my G19 Gen 4.
Is this worth it? Are Citadel 1911s any good? I know they're made by Armscor, just like RIA, but the only warranty is for the original owner and I don't want to get fucked if something goes wrong.
>>29824657
How much is a little cash?
>>29824671
I asked him but he hasn't said. I mostly want to know if Citadel 1911s are any good.
What's a good /k/ tier job?
I was thinking LEO, but I don't want to become "the man"
I hear lots of people on here talk about warehouse jobs, are those any good?
>>29824684
They're okay. As in "Yes they work but they're not pretty".
Honestly I'd keep the glock 19.
>>29824714
Yeah I'm on the fence on whether or not I'd want to trade for a compact 1911 in the first place
>>29824724
Well, Glocks hold their value a little bit better than the Citadel. The Citadel is not a bad gun at all, but it's one of those guns you buy if you JUST want a 1911 and you aren'tloking for the greatest fit and finish, just a good working 1911.
>>29824740

Okay guys, WTF kind of holster is this? I'm the G19/Citadel guy. The guy with the Citadel said he'd throw in this holster, among other things. He doesn't remember the name of it.
>>29824657

How often does the AC-130 actually get used compared to the A-10?
I'm filling out a 7CR and my answer to 11D is Yes ("Have you ever been an employee of a Federal Firearms Licensee") as I worked for Academy for about a year.
The instructions say to give full details on a separate page, but my question is, how in-depth does the ATF want those details to be? Do they want my job description? How I left the company?
I want to buy a couple of pressure sensors that I can bury that will be sensitive enough to pick up a car driving over them. Where would I buy such a thing?
Anyone have experience carrying a heavier gun with a J-hook holster? I have a compact 1911 that weighs around 30oz and want to know if that's too heavy for a J-hook.
>>29817437
Could be pulling the frame down in the front, slide release might just be right at the fulcrum. I suppose you could squeeze the frame too but hand tightening is unlikely to do that.
>>29824485
AR-15 wouldn't be a bad choose, I think you can get stainless steel barrels.
Basically any polymer handgun with a stainless slide. As the other anon mentioned some companies have marine versions of their guns which are made to sit on boats.

>bad choose,
Bad choice
Hey guys, I'd like to stick a PU scope on my russky SKS, but I don't like the idea of drilling holes into the rifle just to get the mount set up. Are there any side mounts that don't require permanent modifications to install?
I want to get a Mini 14 with a wood stock. Is a flash suppressor really a big deal on the Tacticals? If they are, should I get a Mini 14 Tactical and just buy a wood stock? Or should I just get a Ranch with a wood stock and not worry about the flash suppressor?
Any thoughts on 16ga for HD?
Reason I'm asking is currently I've got an Ithaca Model 37 and a Winchester 1897 in 16ga, and I'm unsure whether I should make them exclusively weekend trap shooting guns and get a 12ga for the HD role.
Side question, any opinions on Stoeger SxS shotguns? Wondering if anyone has one and if so how do they like it. I like Stoeger, but I want to hear about other peoples' experiences with their guns before looking seriously at their guns for HD.

Just got an Aimpoint PRO, few things bugging me about it
I'm trying to figure out if I got a fake or a lemon or if I'm just being OCD or what
- if you look at it from the front, the front glass / whatever kind of clip/ring that's holding it, looks crooked
- seems like i can see rough/unfinished edges of the front glass when looking thru (maybe related to issue #1)
- when turned all the way up, theres like a red ring all around the outside of the sight picture (maybe this is normal ?)
- some kinda manu defect / "blob" of some shit on top of the battery compartment
- no battery cap retainer (altho seems this is a new change from what I read, and most ppl including aimpoint themselves haven't updated the product description images)
Was pretty excited to get it after reading all the hype, have to say I'm a bit dissapointed.
Should I return it to where I bought it ? (Midway - dunno if there's some BS restock fee or what)
or
Should I contact aimpoint directly to see if it's legit / maybe see if I can get them to replace it ?
Idk, at the moment I'm feeling like I wasted $432
What is a fair price for a used Remington R1?

Tokarev all day. Too much fun. IMO makarovs are snappy little demon pistols that are great for carrying and not much else.
>>29799359
Is it possible for my Canadian friend's Svt-40 to disappear and somehow turn up in the U.S.? If so how could that happen?
>>29829505
I mean he might forget about it in the trunk of his car, or lose it while hiking close to the border. Both are irresponsible and illegal, ofc.
>>29828055
Makarov hands down. They have to add safeties to be able to import them, which makes most tokarevs shit. Though I have heard the Polish ones were decent.
I love my CZ82, and it's the cheapest gun I own aside from the mosin. Sinfully accurate and comfortable enough to let the gf shoot it.
>>29829524
He's pretty clumsy, I suppose he could accidentally cross the us border while hiking and misplace it. Then if anyone found it "hey, free rifle". any Canadians have some input?
>>29801719
I dunno? fucking two is plenty unless you're doing infantry tactics with a squad.

flash suppressors serve rather limited use. your perceived sound will be less without one. Also mini-14's are surprisingly less accurate than ar-15s.

You're doing gods work anon, save that /k/omrade behind enemy lines.
>>29829584
Maplefag here. It's pretty easy to walk stuff across the border, especially when one country or the other doesn't care (see: the USA's overbearing ITAR export regulations and Canadian Custom's complete indifference to what we import).
HOWEVER...if you get caught it means, at a minimum, getting banned from either The USA or Canada. As a Canadian, I love visiting the States. As an American, I'm sure you love to shop here with our (currently) very dollar. It's a shitty possibility for some cheap/rare funs.
My two cents.
>>29829833
OK
still didn't leave the factory like that
>>29829893
With that being said I'll probably find a nice Svt down here or pray to god that the Trump will get rid of the ban on them.

Any good sources for 16ga rifled slugs? All sources I find are hella expensive.
>>29830043
Call every local walmart and see if they have any they're trying to sell at cost for shelf space.
>Keep in mind cost to travel if you decide to travel 50 fucking miles to save 3 bucks.
>>29830043
Take 16ga buckshot or birdshot shells and cut most of the way arround the shell to make a poor man's slug. It won't have the same flight range but it still packs a punch. Example:

Mini 14 guy here
Thanks for the advice. I'm a bit of a fudd and I prefer the M14 look of the Mini, so that is definitely a factor in my decision. I may get an AR in the future, but for now I just want the Mini.
>>29809122
>>29809164
Shit, I'm really tempted. What I'm scared of is that it might have to go through a mag-restricted state and that could get me into more trouble. Maybe I can ask the seller to disassemble it for me and to grease the spring. God it is so tempting...
>>29829893
Man one of the reasons I miss Canada is the no-bullshit import laws
>Is it legal here?
>Yeah? Then you can import it
It's so refreshing compared to the absolute clusterfuck that is US import regulations. Muh fucking sporting purpose and protectionism and 922r and import bans and embargos
>>29831010
Not 100% of the time. Technically VZ58 pistols should be legal here, but the RCMP blocked import mostly because they didn't want to allow VZ58 pistol mags.
>>29831714
Well the RCMP can choke on a million frosted dicks.
>>29825234
>Decent deal for a G19 Gen 4? Forgot to mention my G19 only comes with one magazine and is missing the two beavertail backstraps
Yeah, it's about fair.

Cool then.
Does anybody have the gun control version of this that talks something along the lines of "why enact gun control if life is not worth protecting" or something?
is there any point to getting another AK if i have a wasr10?
Is my selfbow good on tillering. Its my first so just looking for some criticism. I will back it with cohote sinew just for experience and for fucks sake but until then is it alright to just shoot for a while?
>>29826816
No, there are no other good ways to get a PU scope mounted and still maintain zero. If I were You, I'd buy a legit PU scope mount side rail and have a competent gunsmith mount it to your receiver. Then just make relief cuts in the stock to accommodate the side rail. Then just buy a PU mount and scope and then your good. if done tastefully, it shouldn't ruin its value too much.
i have an 80% lower and am unsure how to finish it
ive been debating on having a 300 blk pistol or or building a 20" a4 clone
New to this board. I'm considering buying a Glock 34 as my first firearm. Is this a good weapon for a first time owner? I know how to shoot decent but have never owned a pistol.
>>29832519
do you have suppressor or live in a suppressor friendly state? if no, then really no point in a 300 blk
>>29832190
fix your stance you fuckin twit. then get a proper set of gloves unless you like to always have a burnt wrist.
>>29832898
yeah of course. a bit large for carrying/self defense though. easy shooting range gun though
>>29832912
That is a very ignorant viewpoint
Can you load individual rounds into a K31 through the breach without a stripper clip? I was looking at some pictures and the breach looks pretty narrow so it seems like it would be hard to stick your fingers in to push the rounds into the mag.
How do you think America would respond if host countries of their military bases ask to shoulder a percentage less of the operation costs per occurrence of American soldiers acting a fool i.e, running over kids, raping bitches, stabbing people, robbing people, holding private air shows that bring down the house, etc?
whats the general rule for being outside of city limits to be able to shoot legally?
>>29833683
Be 150 yards away from a road, trail, or campsite and have a dirt backstop. Don't be a cunt and shoot at trees.
Make sure it's not private property.
Unless it's posted otherwise you should be good.
I got some 303 surplus from a gunshow this weekend. It came in a cardboard box in intervals of 32.

Thank you, i knownim retarded and look like it but more on the bow, not my downs
I'm trying to piece together a list of necessary parts for reloading, any help would be insanely appreciated
>which is the better tumbler , vibratory or rotary ?
This question will be extremely specific,
I have a [spoiler]deactivated AK-47 because I live in britbongistan[/spoiler] and I cannot for the life of me put the dust cover back onto it.
I line up the front end of the cover with the small grooves and get the butt of the recoil spring inside the hole at the back, but every time I try and press it down the lock just won't go in the hole, it just pops off at the front end.
How the fuck do I get it on? Baring in mind I can't rack the charging handle.

>it's starting to freak me out
What do /k/?
>>29834904
Line it up and give it a good smack right above where the recoil spring guide goes in the back.
>>29835154
I've gotten it on now, i'll just post what I did in the other thread.
>>29835132 (anon)
>Thanks a lot, turns out from the previous times I had tried the dust cover had gotten slightly bent so the back wouldn't fit in properly, so I just bent it back with some pliers and it fit in easily after that using the method you described, thanks a lot.
Guess I just lined it up wrong when I smacked it
>>29835277
>Guess I just lined it up wrong when I smacked it
Yeah that doesn't help.
>>29831714
Vz 58 pistols are legal. Just no one has made a dedicated from scratch purpose built "pistol" receiver. The Vz58 "pistol" submitted to the lab was just a rifle receiver (according to the RCMP) with a short barrel and no stock. If someone were to build a receiver as a dedicated pistol from inception to raw billet to finished "pistol" then we should be able to have 10Rd vz mags. However you would likely need to document every step and even then it is iffy because of the dictatorial system the lab set up.
>>29811635
>>29812241
All you'd have to do is rotate the gun 9 ninety degrees to the right, and then use support hand to reload the now "top facing" magazine well.
You could do this while keeping your shooting hand on trigger (with proper TD I expect).
>you spend much more time with your gun at the low ready than you do reloading
>this could still be reloaded rather fast
Would adding a barrel extension improve ballistics on a mac 11, or would it just destabilize the bullet?
>>29835594
It would improve the ballistics of the pistol calibers slightly. Those rounds were made for shorter barrels to begin with, so adding length past 6 inches or so runs into diminishing returns for velocity. I think the Thompson had a 10.5 inch barrel, MP40 had a 10 inch. They probably stopped there because the extra velocity from a longer barrel wasn't worth it
How much do those Holland and Holland guns cost?
And other than the engravings do they do anything special?

Should I continue buying milsurp or should i just save up and build an AR in preparation for the possibility of the Hilldog.
>>29838172
fuck yeah I'd do it. DPMS AR10s are supposed to be pretty good, and the C39s are looked down upon in the AK community due to Century's manufacturing decisions.
