Afternoon komrades, I'm on leave with pay from work. How bout an ATF thread?
Bonus round. Let's get some literature in here as well, what are you reading?
It's the middle of the day on a Tuesday

Challenge accepted.
What does /k/ think of the 7x57mm round? Is it worth buying a Mauser in 7mm or should I buy one in 8mm? I live in NYC and I can only buy antique firearms.
My options in terms of Mausers are the 1891 Argentine, 1893 Spanish, and various other G88 and G98 import variants.
I also like that these guns can be had off of gunbroker for only $200-300.
Thoughts?
>>27910339
There is no more surplus 7x57. So if cost is a concern I'd advise against it, unless you reload.
That aside, it's the most popular of the 7mm cartridges and probably the best Mauser cartridge around. It's a popular sporting load and relatively easy to find even in most big box gun stores. I'd pick one over a 8mm Mauser any day.
>>27910339
how were you able to get a permit
>>27910382
Don't need a permit if it's an antique, like I said.
>>27910381
Thank you. Cost isn't really an issue as I wouldn't be able to shoot it very often. I'd probably buy a 20 rnd box of PPU and it'd last a year or more.
Its like poetry :3

Whats the best place to buy K98s that are in shooting condition?
What are they worth anymore? I've seen a few on racks before around $300 but looking at listings they seem to be alot higher
>>27910011
Mitchell's Mausers. Even though they like to say that they're original/unissued they just refurbish them. Other than that, they're great shooters.
>>27910103
That's not a real k98
Just look for a RC in good condition

10/22 thread. Let's see your 10/22s. I need ideas.
I'm ordering a under-folder here and it's going to be my back packing / everything gun.
>>27909901
tech sights done
Unless you plan on using a red dot or scope do not get the straight version. I have one and the length of pull is good for me at 6'1" but your sight picture is uncomfortable to achieve without an optic. Get the slanted version unless you want an optic.
>>27909938
I have a red dot, so I'm getting the straight stock version

So I have the opportunity to purchase a Marlin Model 1895 chambered in .45-70 for $600.
>pic related
Should I buy it? So far it seems like a good price compared to cabelas and bass pro but this with set me back a month on purchasing an Original GI Springfield 1903.
>>27909850
Buy the SBL version. And with whatever gat you get, make sure it's stamped that it was made in Ilion, NY. If its from any other factory, don't get the gun.
>>27910900
Thank you.
What does SBL stand for?
>>27910932
No idea, but its the stainless steel version, has a picatinny rail on top, and a larger magazine that lets you hold 6+1. I love mine.
I'm thinking about joining the YPG. Maybe not as a combatant, but I know they need Linux sysadmins.
How bad of an idea would this be?

Which do you prefer, /k/? Colt 1851 or Remington 1858?
Personally, I'm torn.
1858:
+Easily removable cylinder; can be removed, loaded, and reinserted in the gun. No need to awkwardly hold/prop up gun while loading.
+"Normal" (Modern) sights
-Not as cool looking as 1851
-Have heard top strap can lead to build up of powder fouling
-Slightly more expensive
1851:
+"Open top" is pretty damn cool (and virtually non-existent on modern revolvers)
+Slightly cheaper
-Cylinder does...

>>27909763
as sexy as the 1851 is I prefer the 1858 because you can quickly swap out an empty cylinder for a loaded one.
Colt all the way. They're a pleasure to shot once you've fixed the cap jamming problem.

How did you go about that?
Has no one ever thought of making armor plates with the same materials bulletproof glass is made?
>>27909637
No, you are the first.
>>27909637
Because it's fucking heavy. There are better things like ceramics that work better as hard body armor.
>>27909637
because it would be many times thicker and heavier compared to ceramic or steel.
could this gun work in irl?
Easily. It's just a 7.62 NATO bullpup in a fancy case
Would not be able to hold 32 rounds in that mag though. 20 at the most.
>>27909449
Yes. Nothing about it is out of the ordinary.
The action it's based on, while obscure, is very real. Too bad we don't have a 100% certain understanding of how it works.
A .308 Korobov with a 60 round casket mag and F2000 furniture? No doubt.
Is ZQI ammo, 7.62x51 specifically, worth buying?
AIM has 240 rounds with a can for $110.
Also, battle rifle / .308 general
>>27909400
It works fine for me. It clanks plates at 400 yards as well as my $18/box softpoints.
>>27909482
What rifle is that?
>>27909569
It's one of those mas 49/56 rifles converted to 308.
What are the basic principles and methods of reconnaissance / scouting in both civilian and military settings?
Does it just boil down to just staying quiet, be unseen and return with as much intel as possible?
What else goes into it?
How do you incorporate recon into your innawoods scenarios?
