In terms of states I should move to, I know AZ has great gun laws. However how bad is Oregon's gun laws? I've been reading up on it and its not that bad, good even however Oregon has a lot of bleeding hearts and is a swing state. Only reason I asked is I prefer the area I will be moving to in Oregon than the areas I will...

What specific city/town in OR? Native here.
Poor Oregon.
If you're Hispanic, or speak spanish, if you're over 50, if you hate rain, go to AZ
if you none of these apply, move to OR
>>27938035
Oregon here. Universal background checks, CC is shall-issue, and you can OC in any of our forests or on BLM land. I live in super liberal Portland and no one's ever given me shit about being a gun owner.
Anyone on here have any experience with this gun? The only negative I've heard about it is the earlier models were picky with ammo any some FTE. I think they've since corrected that.
>>27937931
Early production M9A1.
Came with old extractor that was shit, as such the gun sucked with FTE's and other malfunctions.
Got new extractor and plunger for free from Steyr
I get a few light primer strikes from time to time with cheap ammo. 1 or 2 in a box of 50 with any kind of steel case. 1 or 2 in every ~200 or so of S&B or Magtech. My guns detests American Eagle, wont extract worth a fuck. Never a problem feeding. Never a malfunction of any kind with defensive ammo or my buddys dad's...

I noticed your pic was a C9 after I posted...
So I suppose I don't have any experience with it. Pretty much Glock 19 vs 17 difference I would assume. I would have liked the C9 or S9, but based on my experience with the M9, I am not in a hurry to get either one. Still would like to have the whole 9 and 40 range at some point though, M-S-C-L.
>>27937931
I picked one up in 357 sig the other day. Put a bunch of rounds through it without any issues. They are built like tanks as far as polymer pistols go. The trigger is nice too. If you want one they can be had for under $500. Tough to go wrong. Plus you'll have a gun that a lot of others don't.
Fyi the newer or 4th "gen" guns have a roll pin under the rear sight. Speaking of sights, you'll either love 'em or hate 'em.
So i have a Front Sight Post and a MBUS rear sight as my sights on a home defense rifle.
This rifle is not used for anything else other than home defense.
I want to setup a fail-proof, no battery required sight for it that will allow me to use my MBUS through it in case of failure
what are you currently using for a "reflex" style sight?
Trijicon Acog is nice, but im not ready to drop $1200 on a $500 rifle that sits next to my bed most of it's life
>>27937910
Fuck off back to /fa/ you insufferable faggot.
I may be being daft but why do you need a reflex sight on a home defence setup?
Surely the range you may have to engage an intruder at would be good enough with the MBUS?
>>27937910
An ACOG wouldn't allow you to use your irons. Their SRS would though.
Thoughts?
>>27937886
If you have the money on hand, go for it. Nuggets will only increase in value, they are reasonably priced historic guns. Just don't molest it with drilling scope mounts or putting on a polymer stock
>>27937886
Go for it, getting an m44 for that price is pretty hard nowadays.
>>27937886
200 is a good price for a decent nugget, if it's shot out don't buy it for that much. The wood looks a little light, this means the guy probably doesn't bathe it in cosmoline, and therefore is a heretic.
Only buy it if you see it's good quality bore and cycles cleanly. For 160 you can get a decent nagant mail order, for 100-120 you can get a shit nagant.
Are you waiting on anything in the mail, /k/? Waiting on a magazine myself

what is this, the 90's again? do people still read magazines?

This. And who the fuck puts tracking on a magazine?

A few things actually
hey /k/ im kinda new to guns and i have a question
does a rifle with no buffer/buffer tube have more recoil than a rifle with a buffer?
i.e im assuming guns that are too short to accommodate a buffer (bullpups) have more recoil than a rifle with a buffer because the bolt is just hitting the receiver. if so, why not put buffers in rifles?
>>27937693
I think it has more to do with the individual moving parts not moving as one like a long stroke design would. I think that's why short stroke pistons have less recoil. The mass isn't all moving at the same time.
>>27937693
The buffer tube holds the main spring, you tit. It has nothing to do with the bolt hitting the receiver, it's just that the ARs design is retarded.
But you are technically right, some race ARs are tuned so that you don't bottom out, and they do have less felt recoil at the cost of reliability.
>>27938013
No need to call them a tit, they admitted they were new to guns.
You could also theoretically tune any autoloading rifle in that manner, though it would be stupid, so that's still not a virtue of the buffer tube.
Has anything like this ever been done IRL?
Real life James Bond stuff?
Post related material, please. Like if /o/ and /k/ had a baby.
I've fantasized about having a car like this.
Hidden missiles and machine guns, all kinds of neat gadgets..
I don't think I'd get much use out of it, but I'd just like having it.
Is eye dominance a meme? Is shooting with both eyes open a meme?
When I keep both eyes open I can either get the front sight post on target or I can align the sights, but not both. Doesn't matter which eye I use, though. Is it a matter of practice? How bad is it to close one eye?
I too wonder this
Close one eye and see how much perception you lose. Its not safe. Either keep them open or slightly close your non dominate eye.
No? I shoot with both eyes open and when I teach kids to do archery I teach them to use their dominant eye.
The reason behind both eye open is (what I was told) the sympathetic response of your open eye, and how your pupil will dilate in response to your non-shooting eye being closed. I don't know how true that is, but it doesn't sound like bullshit.
Also, holding one eye shut tenses you up? I noticed this but I'm not too familiar with it because I shoot both eyes open.
I can attest that on optics that are designed to act as collimators it...

How would you kill Reimu?

Say whatever you want about the Sherman, maybe it wasn't the Jerry-cooker it was rumored to be, maybe it's off-road capabilities were just on par and not sub-par how many claim, maybe it's gun was good enough to do the job - I don't care - however it has performed - it is just so fucking ugly, no other famous tank from the axis or allies looked so fucking hideous.
I'm sorry, it may have been a great tank, it certainly was one of the most important ones, but it definitely was the ugliest one.
>>27937077
for what it was designed to do it did well, however what it was designed to do was the wrong idea.
>>27937077
The early Sherman's with the rounded hull were pretty okay looking.

We called the Germans Jerrys, not the other way around.
Hey /k/, how effective would it be to throw your pommel at somebody during a duel?
What do you think smart guy?
As effective as throwing a rock.
it would definitively end them rightly.
