Thoughts on sporterized milsurp weapons?
I always thought it's a shame when you see a beautiful weapon and piece of history get turned into a polymer covered turd with an ugly Bushnell scope on it. Seeing shit get bubba'd is never fun.
>>28318846
It's usually a waste of time considering how cheap hunting guns are now. Doing it to rare weapons is tasteless.
>>28318858
this. for the price of mutilating a historic weapon of war, you can just go buy a used Savage/Remshit/Mossman/Sako, or in same cases even a brand new one, and use it for hunting instead.
It made sense in like 1952 when a milsurp Mauser or Arisaka would cost like 15-20% of what a decent hunting rifle would cost.
But now a even cheap milsurp like a re-arsenaled nugget costs like 150bucks, and you can get a solid used hunting rifle for 200 or 250.
Or you could get a low end new production rifle for like 300 bucks.
Sporterizing milsurps now is retarded.
All it does is destroy a piece of history and lower the value permanently.
Post non-traditional configurations for guns, or just odd looking things.
I'm trying to find a picture of a Tec-9 with an extended barrel that has been dressed up into a carbine that looks like a tiny AR-15.
>>28318710
>>28318756
This is airshit, in case anyone worries.
someone post that AK with the PKM stock on it
>>28318784
who cares it makes my dick hard
is it just me or are the mosin bayonets fucking tight or what. i was thinking of either sanding the inside of the socket or just prying it open with a hammer.
any advice?
Who would have known that Russian stuff has shit fit and finish?
Numbers matching? I've found number matching fits a bit better
>>28318637
They are meant to be tight, numbers matching will be better though. I believe the idea was they weren't suppose to remove them unless they really had to.
I have a bayonet without a number that refused to go on my rifle when I first got it. I sanded it a little bit at a time till it was a snug fit but would mount on the rifle.
Ever thought of building your own PPS-43 rifle? This one looks kinda cool, and parts kits are cheap for it too.
http://www.centerfiresystems.com/KIT-PPS43-2.aspx
>>28318455
Yes, but I found the Suomi to be far more interesting.
Parts kits are like a cheap model kit to a good machinist.
>>28318455
I wish they would import them as fucking rifles instead of pistols
Seriously, what the fuck. I want a stock, not a short barrel.
What's it missing? What's the catch? What's a barrel and the receiver, and stock all cost?
there is already a self defense story thread, however does anyone have any toasty stories where they were put in situations where you really should of owned/had a firearm but didnt have one on you? here are a few of my stories from ages 17-22 (im 23 now, and CC)
Fayetteville, North Carolina:
>spend day skating at a local skate park.
>leave and walk with friends to tobacco store
>they buy cigs for me with my money because underage and degenerate
>we sit in a cut near the shop but far enough to smoke and chill
>friends gf calls and comes by to pick him up
>me and other friend stay back and start walking towards another friends apartment
>long ass fucking walk, getting kinda dark
>cut over to a more desolate area, but kind of a short cut
>a red SUV packed full of people drive down the street a good 40-50 meters away
>nig nog in back seat pulls gun, shoots at me and friend 4 times and peel off
>screaming some dumb nigger shit like "suwu!! BLOOD GANG BITCH"
>me and friend haul ass to wooded area for about 5 minutes, seemed like forever
>cop cars pulls up lights blaring, losing their shit
>go over to them with hands up, get treated like criminal scum from oblivion
>found my cigarettes I was too dumb to let my 18 year old friend hold, but dont seem to mind.
>we told them we were shot at, give a full detailed report and go to police station
>mom comes and gets me, freaks her shit out because she thinks im in a gang now.
they never found out who shot at me and my friend, I wish this story could of been better, but honestly it happened so fast I didnt even stop walking, the reality of being shot at didnt hit me until they were speeding away.
cont.
>>28318390
>they never found out who shot at me and my friend
That's okay. They're probably all dead or in prison by now.
>fayetteville NC
Whyyyy were you anywhere close to the merc?
>stationed at Bragg 9.5 years
>got shot at more in Fayetteville than my 3 tours in Iraq
cont.
Fayetteville, NC at the apt complex described in the previous story:
>be innapool during the summer with my ratty scumbag friends
>I guess a bloc party is going on since literally every black person who lives here is at or around the pool area, barbecuing and having a good time.
>like 30 motorcycles lined up nearby, the black dudes are probably in a biker club (gang)
>somehow my friends are friends with a soldier in the 82nd, he and his gf and the ones who live in this apartment complex
>im not familiar with the army since later on in life I joined the marines, but im almost certain this apartment complex was blacklisted.
>"hey lets go smoke" "ok"
>82nd guy smokes pot btw, guess he didnt care or was taking chances with random piss tests
>we all leave the pool and head out to his apartment, overlooking the pool. basically a stones throw away so we can still hear the black dudes yelling pretty loud.
>smoke pot for about half and hour, play the new mortal kombat for the time and take shots whenever you lose, so having a good time overall.
>hear a fucking roar overpowering the place, freaks our shit out, getting louder
>sounds like a bunch of motorcycles rolling up on the complex
>must be black bikers friends
>LOUD FUCKING REVS FROM SPORTSBIKES GOING OFF
>screaming now coming from outside, instead of partying
>shit sounds heated
>CRACK
>of fug thats a gunshot, my neverguns friends are wtf'ing hard, me and friend from drive by got our autisms triggered

>like half the damn police force show up, this areas bad but this typically doesnt happen
Help me/k/, I want to buy a gun, and I dont have a clue what to get. I really dont have a monetary limit, but I have no clue on guns except a gun safety course I took
Pic not related
M70 AK47/SKS
A bunch of 7.62x39
A better appreciation for the smell and sounds that an AK emanates.
>>28318379
Depends on what you plan to do with it.
>>28318394
Just target shoot and mess around, and if SHTF, 'home defense'
Would /k/ buy a beat up CZ75 (NOT B) for $300? Just aesthetically fucked.
Would it be better than buying a new copy for the price?
>>28318206
i like beater guns personally, so i'd get one.
>>28318216
That's what I'm feeling. I'm bad enough with cars when they get scratched that I purposely buy car with meh paint. (I was a detailer, so if the paint gets fucked I have to fix it.)
>>28318206
Yeah, I'd do it. Those old police trade ins are solid. Also, pre-Bs can draw a premium if you refinish it/find the right czech autist.
Hey guys which BENCHMADE model is that and how much does it retail?
Is it good knife?
Thanks
>>28318203
Bump
>>28318203
The fake / gunshow kind.
>>28318203
i think its fake
I got a Cabela's gift card for $150 for christmas. Is there anything /k/ related that is a somewhat good deal?
I know outdoor shops charge out the ass for most things but I want to get a couple things with my money without getting jew'd
Broad selection of ammo at cabelas. Mine had xm856 tracer on sale for $10 a box. All kinds of deals but you need to be specific
Piggybacking on this guy with $100 to BassPro...
I'm thinking Tula x39, 9mm and .223. In CA so no big mags for me. I'm building an AR but I couldn't find if they had any lower parts kits on their website.
Anything better?
>>28318243
Mostly looking at rifles under $500 and any good deals on 9mm or 7.62x39
With putting a couple thousands of rounds per year through my DD MK18. What should I plan on replacing yearly?
>o rings?
>extractor spring?
Nothing.
You keep spare parts on hand and replace parts only if they actually break.
>O ring
I dont know why these are even a thing. Every gunsmith I've ever talked to says to remove them, the rifle actually functions better without them.
>mfw my PSA NiB bcg had two of them on the extractor spring
>>28317988
>MK18 upper
>Warden
>Surefire light
>ir laser
>a fucking Elcan
>shockwave blade
You better fucking live in a state that doesn't allow SBRs.
None, just clean and lubricate the gun normally. Parts typically fail with neglect and abuse or poor quality from the start.
Can i use regular old rust remover to remove rust from a barrel, or is there another way?
> inb4 take care of your guns
Bought it from friend in this condition
[spoiler] but how do i prevent future rusting? [/spoiler]
how rusted is the barrel?
>>28318055
Very lightly, only on the outside
>>28317987
Sure but be careful as fuck unless you really hate the finish on the gun
Hi.
I'd like to know more about the American Civil War. Is there a book or a documentary that you would recommend ?
>>28317864
the war could've been over very quickly if Mcclellan wasn't such a bitch.
Yankees gargle cock and use a biproduct to lord over the south.
pretty much it
>>28317870
Wars are as much /k/ as they are /his/.
I purchased a bow recently and plan to spend the next few months practicing with it so I'm ready to hunt when the cooler weather hits.
I've only got a 45lb bow, but I'm thinking that will be sufficient for boars. What weight arrow should I be looking at?
Also, I'm planning on stalking. Shooting from a blind doesn't interest me. Any recommendations on books that will help me understanding tracks and signs? I'm Australian, but books for tracking in other countries should be fine right?
Lastly, what's the best way to understand animal anatomy for hunting? I'm starting off with pigs but I'm going after deer when I get the chance
>>28317814
(Disclaimer: I shoot compound and also don't hunt pigs)
I'd be leery of hunting pigs with a 45# trad bow (which I'm assuming your's is). Shot placement on pigs is different to deer and on bigger pigs with a "shield" is much less forgiving - you'll either need a bow and arrow set up to deliver enough momentum to punch through or take quartering away shots.
If your bow is a trad bow, you'll need to get very close to make those shots (especially as a new archer), which, with pigs, opens you up to getting charged. My brother knows a bunch of guys who bow hunt pigs and apparently it's not unusual to go out in pairs - one with a bow, one with a rifle for stopping if things go south.
If you're set on hunting pigs with a 45# trad bow, I'd go heavy arrows, definitely upwards of 500 grains. Might even be a good idea to go full Ashby on this one, building an arrow with 19%+ FOC with a heavy single-bevel two blade broad head. I'd get a small diameter shaft in something like a 400, 340 or 300 and add point weight until it spines out well for your bow.
>>28318142
>>28318142
Cheers mate. I own a compound.
I'm aware of the boar shield and have done a little research on the internals of a pig.
And yeah. I've been charged by a boar before. Though I'd be brave and stand my ground. He was about 6 inches from the tip of my gun when I squeezed one off - click. In the excitement the bolt had lifted slightly. But the barrel to his face, and then to his ribs when he had been shot scared him off. Definitely not gonna take the 220 swift out for pigs again. It's only a little projectile haha.
Being Australian I cannot bring a pistol with me for a back up weapon. I'm trying to decide between a knife and a small hatchet as personal protection for any future charging boars.
>>28318378
45# is kind of an odd weight for a hunting compound, which is why I assumed trad. What bow have you got? (Also, what's its max peak weight/range of adjustment/IBO speed/your draw length?)
The same principles apply building an arrow for penetration with a compound, but depending on your bow you'll need a stiffer spined arrow than a trad bow so you'll either need more spine or less point weight, which can make getting a higher FOC a bit trickier. Unless your 45# compound is goddamn fast though, I'd be a bit hesitant to take it after pigs to be honest.
Speaking from a position of ignorance, I'd probably take a mate with a gun over a knife or a hatchet.
/k/ I need your input on something.
On shitty mobile so bear with me
>be me
>be inna dive bar with qt 3.14 gf ccing my p226
>slaughtering her in pool
>cue ball gets stuck after I scratched
>make the mistake of picking up pool to get cueverything ball unstuck
>owner yells at me to put it down and do so
>talk to owner and apologize
>everything is cool until drunk regular approaches me and says "don't pick up the fucking pool table"
>tell him I'm not gonna then he repeats himself
>tell hime I'm not again and tell him to fuck off
>dude is ready to fight but I've had 2 beers and ccing.
>based az allows me to cc as long as I don't drink
>not drunk or buzzed but 2 bears deep
>guy waits for me and gf to leave and makes comment about fucking my gf
>gf calls him a fucking dick and I just flip him off as we walk away
>keep an eye on him incase he attacks
Now, did I do the right thing by not fighting him and possibly going to jail or did I bitch out? I feel like I didn't defend my gf's honor but at the same time I was ccing after 2 beers and am trying to get into law enforcement.
>>28317771
You were an asshole and your girl was a dumb slut. Don't come back to my bar.
>>28317787
B but you have bullet bourbon for 4.50 a GLASS
You're a fucking retard for drinking while CCing in the first place. If you are knowingly going to break the law then a career in law enforcement is the perfect place for you.
Also, you're a little fucking bitch. If the guy had swung at you you probably would have pulled your piece in fear of your life. In reality a good ass kicking is just what you fucking need.
