So /k/, how 'bout wooden gun cabinets? If someone wanted to get into the average safe sold at Cabela's, it'd take maybe 15-20 minutes and an angle grinder. Why should I not build a wooden cabinet out of 1 inch pine?
>>27954719
I don't get it
A wooden cabinet is supposed to be more secure than a metal safe?
Why not just not live in a shithole so your guns don't get stolen?
>>27954725
I think he's saying that even those safes can be easily broken into by a determined thief. If it can be broken into then there isn't really a point in having it instead of something that looks very nice, like a wooden cabinet.

>If it can be broken into then there isn't really a point in having it instead of something that looks very nice, like a wooden cabinet.
So because someone can break into a safe, you should just not use a safe at all?
>well, a criminal could break into my car and hotwire it
>I'll just leave the doors unlocked with the key in the ignition
>/k/ will defend this even though actual Marines who have used them on deployments say its a piece of shit
Nobody does that.

Are the Yugo SKSs worth $400, in near-mint condition?
Gander Mountain (where I am employed, sadly) is selling them still drenched in Cosmo on Black Friday, and I can set myself on aside for that day. Thoughts?
I'm asking, because if I'm better off spending considerably more on a Chinese model I'd rather not waste my shekels.
>>27954666
can you set one aside for me? where the fuck is Gander Mountain?
>>27954672
Joliet, IL is where I work at. Is that a good price then?
>>27954675
I live in a communist shithole. I haven't seen them for under $500 in a long time.
Without this getting political
Is there any other prior military vets here who think Civ life is shit and would possibly consider re-enlisting if Trump became president? He actually wants to get shit done, and start putting funding back into the military where it's lacking.
Right now I'm pretty lost. I did 5 years as a grunt. Tried college but dropped out because it wasn't for me. Now I'm just working. Don't really see much of a real future for me. I'd rather not go back into the military, but for some reason Trump gives me hope.
Just curious if there is anyone else who feels this way.
>Civ life is shit
Only if you are a fucking loser with no options.
No one's fault you joined the military because you fucked up your real life.
>>27954642
>only if you're a fucking loser with no options
What do you mean
>no ones fault that you joined the military because you were a fuck up in real life
Well I had wanted to join since Kindergarten. So I did when I turned 18. I'm not blaming anyone. But if you are gonna just troll, please go nigger a different thread. Thanks

"Operators are human too" edition
Why do all operators look damn near identical these days?
It's ALWAYS the same Multicam+Gunfighter helmet+plate carrier+tricked out AR combo.
Is it a case of everyone trying to look cool and hip, or is the aforementioned combo truly the pinnacle of combat gear development?
>>27955035
i think most of pictures are for press release, so yeah
>we have to look cool
>wait i can't wear my used up jeans and my checked shirt ?
>nah i said cool, not hobo

Hey /k/ i was wondering if any of you know where i can order some custom ammunition for rare rifles. I have two guns im thinking about purchasing but i am afraid i wont be able to find anything to fire. The rounds i need are 13.2mm tuf and 7.7 x 58 arisaka.
>>27954490
7.7 is rarer than shit and most people horde it. I have a friend that made a huge batch for me and I have like 30 rounds of commercially made ammo.
>>27954509
how much does your friend ask per round? also how much did your commercial ammo set you back?
>>27954490
Dude at this point you've made at least 3 threads about various aspects of your rifle purchase. Why did you not just consolidate them from the start?
Soup, /k/ommandos?
Feels time.
My grandfather was the Director of US operations at Meprolight until his passing a few years back. The man knew his weapons better than anyone I've ever met, and represented Kimber, Colt, High Standard, Mossberg, Benelli, and SKB, through his job, though he was also a Browning fan, to my knowledge. Toward the end of his life, he worked more directly with Kimber, and appeared to have faith in the brand, despite some of their failings.
I've never respected anyone else as much as I respected him, and, sadly, with his passing we didn't receive any of his vast weapons collection, due to a sleazy attorney, and his will going "missing". I wanted to take one of his weapons as a family heirloom to pass down, but I'll never be able to, now.
So, /k/, I've decided to purchase my own "heirloom" weapon to pass on to my son, when he comes of age, in his honor.
I've narrowed it down to a handgun, as I would like to be able to carry it with me. Sort of a "grandad always has my back" sort of thing. Will you do me the honor of helping me choose, /k/?
My only conditions are that the sights are Meprolight, and the weapon is one of his represented/ favored brands. Sounds like shilling, I know, but they were incredible to him, all his life, and even sent a rep to speak at his funeral about him and pay half the costs.
His obituary.

I'm not too worried about being doxxed, since the thread is largely out of respect
Judging by everything you've said, it seems like a Kimber 1911 would be your best bet. Shop around for the one you like best. You can get Meprolight sights for them.
Just curious, if the guns didn't go to his family, what happened to them? Did the state take them? A sleazy family member?
>I'm not too worried about being doxxed, since the thread is largely out of respect
No worries. /k/ is (generally speaking) much more mature than the rest of 4chan. You have my condolences.
One other thing.
As far as budget, I'd like to stay under $1500 or so, unless there's something I REALLY love.
I also won't pretend to be the expert he was. I certainly had gun safety and care drilled into my head as a kid, and I'm very comfortable with guns, but I don't know much, in terms of specific models and what guns are good and bad. I pretty much stuck to the guns he gave me, and learned them inside out.
I leaned more towards the /g/ side of life, through my early 20s, and only recently began shooting again.
>>27954450
>what happened to the guns
Honestly, I'm not totally sure...
I heard his place was like a gun/ golf museum, but none of the grandchildren were able to go to his place in NY (he moved there from GA, where we live) to see his place.
I don't know about laws regarding transporting across state lines, but I know, for sure, his dickead attorney scammed us all out of his money, somehow, because we ended up footing the funeral bill. I think my mom and her siblings only ended up getting a thousand or so, altogether, and I KNOW he had more money than that. Shit, he'd spend three or four times that on everyone every Christmas, and not break a sweat.
And I've heard the Kimber is really divisive. Any experiences with them? I also may have it engraved

Nice try ATF

I thought this was an airsoft forum. People actually own guns here?
Your walking in public (grocery store, cafe, etc...) when you hear it. ALLAH SNACBAR!
You are carrying, what do you do?

Legitimate question. Shoot or no shoot? I know I would fucking freeze.

How powerful is the .357 Magnum?
It's the original One Shot Stopper®
>>27953956

A cop once told me just the shockwave of a .357 passing nearby is enough to rip your arm off
Hey /k/, I want to buy my first handgun. As such, it'll be multi-purpose. I want it to be good enough for IPSC (I'm getting sports license), but dependable enough for personal defence and carry.
Objectives:
-accurate
-dependable
-nice trigger
Non-objectives
-light: so far I'm enjoying shooting with steel frames CZ and Tanfoglio the most, don't enjoy polymer handguns at all.
-small: I don't mind the gun printing. all I need to obey is letter of the law - have the gun in a holster, under a shirt. again, I find shooting bigger guns more fun, and to keep invested in a hobby, it needs to be fun.
As far as price is concerned, I prefer to pay for quality up front than to save couple bucks and then need to pay for replacing parts that keep breaking.
